Hear ye hear ye. This has already been mentioned but I’m repeating the PSA:
Our escape pod has (an) impostor(s). Last night one pretended to be epicpillowcase and attacked Hongohones. Another pretended to be MissDarylC.
Please remain vigilant for anyone sus. If in doubt, contact the original crewmate on reddit to verify identity.
My partner got his working holiday visa! Now he can get back over here and we can start working on our partner visa next ♥
i really like how modlog is public and searchable
There are surprise bikkies
Day 2 of stress leave and I think I’m going to order lunch in and then spend the arvo working on my Dutch. My lessons are getting a little harder as I get into verbs, pronouns, and formal/informal language. Also “de” and “het” and the rule for which one to use being “you sort of just memorise which goes with what” is so fkn funny.
So the bride of the wedding I’m attending is Butter’s the burmese owner. The cattery the cat is at in Melbs just sent a piccy whilst we were at brekky and she burst into tears :(
She’s so attached to bboi I love it.
Went to the optometrist to fix my eye pads on my glasses and this cuddly bear of a man fixed them and also tightened the screws, cleaned it, and was also really nice
10/10 customer service
Fire lit and burning well. Cats are happy.
After 40 years of pretty much exclusively wearing Adidas shell-toes (thanks Run DMC!), Vans and Converse, my feet are fucked and I’ve had to come over to the dark side with some fitted fat-soled New Balance runners. Oh my! It’s like walking on air and I love it lol
I just listened to the Stuff You Should Know about Adidas and Puma yesterday. It’s really quite interesting. Adidas got it’s start from Jesse Owens at the '36 Olympics.
Ooh…thanks for the podcast rec! Just subscribed. I’m currently working my way through the 500 episode backlog of No Such Thing As A Fish which is basically QI from the TV but with extra swearing :)
That is my absolute favourite podcast, I have listened to the whole lot at least twice.
I love love love NSTAAF. It’s so damn good.
Also, Run DMC basically brought Adidas into the spotlight. They were the first band to be sponsored by an apparel company.
I just want to find shoes wide enough for my sore little toe 🥺
Book a fitting with Athlete’s Foot and they’ll recommend some brands and styles. I went with NB in the end, but the Hoka range felt roomier width wise.
Haha I just switched to adidas trainers from vans. Bloody love ‘em. Plus 40 bucks on a deal is pretty good!
Turns out it’s reddit admin making automod remove all lemmy links, not the r/melbourne mods
I’m definitely staying here.
Oh no, trapped, so sad
little dusty beans <3
Hooray you’re here!
I wasn’t sure if you’d moved here but I couldn’t bear to miss out on more bboi updatez. Sold.
Very cute. I have learnt that if you take the photo in landscape rather than portrait the photo comes out the right way instead of sideways.
I refuse to bow to the whims of the machine
Nice cute tabby coloured cat!
He’s a pure ginger airhead!
Attention all UniQlo Heattech clothing lovers. I just had a look at their website looks like some items are on sale now. I would suggest picking up an item or two if you need to before stock runs out.
Thanks! <3
Aye you’re welcome
I’m 188cm and found the 2XL a bit short/small. Can’t get warm with my kidneys hanging out.
First of all I’m sorry but I just burst into laughter when I read your “kidney hanging out” on a bus. Thankfully the 6 people on the bus didn’t say anything
And I did a quick google search and it says the biggest size is 3XL but it’s online exclusive (which is a bit annoying if you can’t try it on to see if the top turns into a crop top or not
Edit: also my friend told me yesterday I’m tiny so I guess I fit in the tops fine. Problem is I’m an Asian with no hip or back side and the pants don’t ever seem to fit me right. So I guess we both have different size issues
Tinyest is so funny. I was trying to unzip his stupid jammed Wondersuit the other day, my hand slipped off the zip and I (very lightly) bonked him on the nose. He stared at me for 2 seconds before slowly screwing up his face and screaming “bahhhhhhhhhhhh” at me. Mrs b just dropped a toy near him and he did the same thing cause he was scared. I swooped in to calm him till she started laughing at how funny it all was which set him off again cause I think he felt mocked. Poor little fella, but it is hilarious! It’s like he has to charge up the cry before he unleashes it.
Two Birds Brewing and their Spotswood taproom is being shut down. I wasn’t a great fan of their beers, but it’s a shame to see independents taken over and then spat out by the big conglomerates.
I’m a fairly heavy gym-goer and feel pretty good with my deadlifting as of late, but I still have issues with my mobility when squatting. I keep listing to one side which is preventing me from progressing. My PT has been recommending mobility warm ups/exercises to do before my set…but I’m also just sooo lazy when it comes to doing them so I just…never do them. I should try and fit them in before I go to the gym so I don’t have to worry about them once I get there.
Yoga is another option for you. My squatting mobility definitely improved when I was consistent with going to a weekly class, but YouTube at home is just as good. Consistency is key though, any improvements fade away if you don’t keep at it.
That’s a good tip! I saw Netflix just released some new yoga series which I’ve been meaning to try out
What sort of mobility exercises are we talking?
side planks (focus on using glutes), bird-dog and another one which involves lying down and holding my core tight (forgot the name)
Could it be a glute bridge ?
really enjoyed julia reppel mobility workouts off youtube, this reminds me to get back into doing them
Nah just lead a stretching and balance class on the train home after work 😄
Haha i’m sure the peak hour commuters would love that
