EEEEEEEEE! OMG this is cuuuuuuuute!

I know I'm not streaming much at the moment, it'll also be a few weeks before I run a multi-PC stream setup but I'm going to do a test stream on Twitch.

I'll be starting with Fortnite, MAYBE Daggerfall, Star ocean Second Story R and possibly Prodeus.

TIL my new meds are $1200 A MONTH and that's without copay.

With it's around 300, there goes that med.

I highly recommend a stationary recumbent bike even if it's a craigslist/gb marketplace trash special.

That's if you have the space for it?

Astral Calico @calico.bsky.social · 1d

If you can stick with it (even if you aren't in the best head space, don't feel bad skipping) after about 2 weeks to a month, you can bump the walk up to 15 mins each time.

Astral Calico @calico.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, that'll raise it.

The best thing I did was go for a 5 minute walk a few times a day.

If you can, time it an hour after a meal? A little over to help digest the food.

Do you have access or can get a recumbent bike? You got some winters up there that are rouuuuugh.

I remember.

How's your blood pressure if you're okay sharing that?

Are you able to check it?

Asking cause mine was high when I was heavy too, can't push too hard at first.

I lost 160+ pounds fast after my er visit in '03, it was Hella but I stuck with thr routine.

How good are your knees/legs for walking?

Asking because that'll.be your starting point, later on you'll move on to better cardio.

There are some law makers who question the buyout yeah, one can hope.

I am morbidly curious when people are going to give Pokemon Go the same treatment as EA with both of their new owners?

People pulled torches and pitchforks out for EA, but are strangely quiet for Pokemon Go.

The cognitive dissonance is wild.

How many protesters were arrested compared to 'counter protesters'?

That was funny heh.

Being a doctor until I realized I wasn't born with a silver spoon and couldn't afford it after my first year in med school.

My favorite job was working as club security many eons back.
That was actually fun.

Astral Calico @calico.bsky.social · 2d

Same, it's why I had missed out too sadly.

Astral Calico @calico.bsky.social · 2d

One day I'll have a weekend off.

Busy busy busy.

Would you do something silly like do a small run of these for the winter holidays?

It's worth a shot asking, but hey I tried!
