Just saw a guy with a shirt that said “The art of communication” silently stand at a counter for 2 mins waiting to get noticed. I feel like you shouldn’t really wear a shirt like that if that’s how you roll. but maybe that’s just me.

You know what really hits different?. The first time a loved one tells you they’re worried about your safety on an upcoming adventure. Makes you second-guess everything.

Not that aura (status) matters for real, but the books on the right are infinitely better at achieving what the books of the left attain to do.

Do stuff where you're both out of your comfort zone and in your aspiration zone, what you dream about.

Confronting your fear is most difficult before you commit to it, and from then on, surprisingly easy. It's all in your head. Remember that.

Debating whether to follow the Atlantic Coast route, or to follow the Rhine route for a 9-day bikepacking trip in August.

Just saw a guy drenched in sweat walk by in full divers suit 10 mins away from the dock. I mean I get it with 34c heat (I’d want to dive to the bottom of a lake too) but couldn’t you just put on the gear at the dock instead? Or is that against the rules?

Just saw an ad come by where some hippie-looking dude asked another guy what he did when he was “healing” (in a spiritual sense). Clicked away right there, but it made me think about how “healing” in the sense they mean right there isn’t an action you can take consciously.

I’m planning a long-term no-destination solo trip and the sentence “I found connection in solitude.” flashed through my head, like a message from my future self. Haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I feel like distancing yourself from your “world” (your social circle,.

Doing a charity bike race today for cancer research. 125km with my best friend, in honour of his recently passed mother. Wish us luck! 🤞.

Re-integrating yourself with your usual rhythm after a long outdoors vacation will never feel like the right thing to do, but it does add to the total experience. The contrast of getting back to normal society just makes your experience feel more. tangible?. Valuable stuff.

My cell phone provider cold called me WHILE I was climbing a mountain:. “Yo mate, I’m literally climbing a mountain right now. Can we do this sometime else?”. Guy just said he got it and that’s the service they provide to their customers. Ngl, I’ll be staying with them lmao.

Probably the best picture I could take to capture the sheer size of Swinica. Residue snow was melting near some of the most exposed technical sections. One slip and you’re right down the cliff. Decided to turn back near the peak since there were less experienced hikers with me.

ChatGPT is starting to talk to me using personal anecdotes: . “I’ve personally coached cyclists. ”.“I often use the X Ultra (shoes) to. ”. Interesting bug?.

Got a persistent case of runners / cyclist knee. Any pointers on how to revalidate it?. Pain is on the top left (seen from the front).

What's the argument FOR using platforms like linktree or stan when you could set up a self-hosted page in like 2 hours and own the traffic + analytics for free?. Saving some time upfront?. Not worth it IMO.

Used to wake up 2-3x a night from light sleeping, dreams, and to go piss, but after I’ve started dosing 5-10g of glycine before bed it’s like I’m in a literal time machine. You close your eyes and suddenly it’s 8hs later. Per-fect deep sleep. Wakeful feeling in the morning.

Got my feet tested and bought a new pair of running shoes. First time in my life I can run without excruciating pain (hereditary tight achilles’ heel). I finally get it now! . Thank you @brooksrunning for helping me do the impossible! 🙏
