Going to commit to 10k steps a day in December (yes I know it’s an arbitrary number, no I don’t care 🤷‍♂️).

Any dev or techie types using a walking pad for while they work? What triggers have you put in place to help drive you? 🚶

First step (ha), is getting the walking pad out the garage… 🕵️

Anybody else face issues with @bsky.app when using UniFi equipment? I think it’s either through AdBlocking or Content Filtering (Family). 🔥
I’ve not looked into this yet - just putting it out there incase anybody else has taken a look already! 🧐

8yo, “Dad, can we have blueberries in the spaghetti bolognaise?”
Me, “Sure I don’t see why not?”

I don’t think I’ll ever stop them from experimenting and enjoying food, especially when it comes to fruits and vegetables. 🫐

I didn’t try it, I was assured by the 4yo it was good. 🤷‍♂️🤤
