    This is what happens, when you sleep 4.5 hrs, go for a 6k run and to cardio class with the wife in the evening.

    IMDB ratings are definitely a tricky thing. I have been burned too many times by 7+ rated movies that were absolute garbage. Like Gone Girl for example. Who watches this mess and thinks it's a good...

    Garmin Fénix 7X.
    Gotta say - it surprisingly sits a bit better on the wrist than the 47mm Pro version. Both are comfy but because of the larger size the 7x seems to better distribute the weight and...

    New Garmin Fenix 7 Pro to keep my 7X company and to have something to switch around. Can't become a one-watch guy just because I'm wearing Garmins now :D.

    Kronos
    Sounds like a good plan. Walking burns almost as much calories as running, at least according to the Garmin app. I took a 7 km walk with my wife and the Garmin Fenix claimed it burned 600...

    Thanks! I did another 10k the next day. But I dialed back a little to not overstrain the tendons and joints and my knees. Still at 95 kg (209 lbs) at the moment, even though that is already 15 kg (33...

    Spooky
    Looks pretty nice! Just read a review on it. Too bad that there seems to be no seller in the EU stocking these.
    But it's not like I don't have enough flashlights already.

    Awesome -- I need to tell these to my son who's a big gamer himself. Finishes games that are way too hard for me like Elden Ring.

    Never even heard of it.
    But I watched Bullet Train last night and was surprised that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Switch off brain and enjoy the over-the-top violence and action.
