nostr:npub16xfqjdlukvd5y92fm7qwyqerluqkhcl3xxgumty5wezk9zpud4gswxe0sv When Apple started deleting RIPed MP3s without asking and replacing with their DRM Equivalents without asking I thought of rage quitting it for the more FOSS Android. I did a one week experiment. I had a pretty good UX. I went to look at the data vacuuming between the two. Even with me manually opting out of most of it I was horrified at what Google was doing. I bitterly went back to Apple hoping that one of those Linux phones that were “coming soon” would meet minimum sufficiency. That obviously never happened and I don’t think ever will.

My first six mile run since 2021 (when I ran a 10K). I’m pretty pleased I was able to keep my heart rate in the below 160 zone the whole time. Legs were getting fatigued though. Good progress overall #running #fitness #heath

How do they hold up? I read some of them back when they were comparatively new. The field has, shall we say, moved on, since. Maybe time to do a reread. I have a lot of those on my shelves.

Have to make allowances for things that sounded high tech that sound anachronistic now. Like the computational machinery making clicking noises or robots looking like bundled pipes.

nostr:npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 That’s what others are saying. I never heard that before. I’m just now for the first time ever reading Asimov’s works.

TIL that it wasn’t Star Trek TNG that came up with the idea for a positronic brain for androids. Isaac Asimov used that terminology in I, Robot in the 1950s. I’m not sure if he was the first but that’s still decades before Commander Data was imagined into existence. #scifi #StarTrek #IsaacAsimov

I've used the JUST Egg product in quiches before and thought it was a perfect egg substitute. Someone asked me about how well it can replace just scrambled eggs. I hadn't tried it until today. I was apprehensive that even if texture was right flavor would be dreadful. Flavor was pretty good. It reminded me of sort of that baked egg casserole flavor. It did lack the sulfurous pungent notes that eggs have, which can be added back with black salt. For people who don't like that keep it out. Nutrition wise the macros are nearly identical to eggs but I can't get info on the micronutrient profile to see how it compares on vitamins/minerals. That is except for cholesterol where the equivalent eggs have 167 mg of it. Overall I'd say a worthy swap out for eggs I'll be using regularly now. #JustEgg #vegan #PlantBased #health #longevity www.ju.st/

After my totally easy week I'm ready to start ramping things up again but will do so more gradually. One thing I'm really stoked about is the opportunity to do some running around my old university campus. I'll be there for a meeting so figured I should do something I could never have done even as a young guy going to school there. How many miles? No idea. I know the sites I want to visit so going to run the waypoints. I'm sure it'll be less than 6 miles so within my long run distance for the week. Other ramp ups, like bringing back HIIT and Power Zone training on the Peloton I'll bring in one per week with a drop down week every three in both running and bike this time. #running #fitness #health #longevity #Peloton
