No Country for Old Men was great too, and it made a better transition to film than The Road, in my opinion.

I work for a training department for a large financial institution. I think I could explain it as teaching people how to do their job better. Though I don't actually do much teaching, personally.

I've liked the Jackpot series, but I absolutely adore the Sprawl series. I also loved the bridge series.

I had to look up:

HHGTTG = The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I've had a Leap V2 for the last couple of years, and really like it so far.

I tried to do a bunch of small things. No single thing was the key.

  • started drinking my coffee black
  • drink more water, and drink water instead of other things
  • I take the stairs instead of elevator/escalator whenever possible
  • I try not to eat seconds at dinner
  • "Real" exercise (like running, rowing, etc.) every other day, but if I can squeeze in extra ones, (e.g., 2 days in a row), I go for it
  • If I'm not up for real exercise, I'll go for a walk
  • intermittent fasting in the mornings, so often no breakfast, but not necessarily every day
  • No snacking after 19:00
  • At restaurants, if 2 options look good, go for the one with fewer calories

There are probably more, but those are the kinds of habits we're talking about.

Also important: if you don't stick to all habits, don't beat yourself up about it.

With the above, I was able to get from a high of 235 lbs down to around 180. I'm a bit more than that right now, but pretty close still.

They installed fibre optic Internet in my neighbourhood a while back, and this is what the cable ducts look like. Also interesting to see how these get installed, with a sort of huge needle/drill on tracks.
