      I really love salad. Like an insane amount. Crunchy greens, baby spinach, every kind of onion, hit me with those sliced radishes! Sliced cucumber, carrots, bell pepper! And most days I don’t even want dressing. Or meat in there.

      Which means that I don’t get enough fuel for sustenance, and I don’t get enough protein!

      I guess what I’m saying is, even salad in moderation.

    As a fatty mcfat fat person, there are limits. Having a treat here and there is no issue, enjoy that deep fried state fair concoction, just don’t eat it every day. Buy that cute trinket or sweater or game, just don’t buy all of them every time. Enjoy the sun shine, don’t roast yourself.

    Buying a pretty nice coffee bean grinder made such a bigger difference in the quality of the coffee I drink that I count it as a solid win.

      Really…I have never sprung for a better grinder but do spend on good beans and either pour over or French press, I’ll have to look into that thanks!

        I was using two already older but pretty good and not cheap hand grinders (Knock Feld 2 and Helor 101). But I recently got the Fellow Ode Gen 2 flat burr grinder ($300) for V60 pour overs at home and it was a complete game changer. At the same time, I took the somewhat recently purchased Fellow Opus conical grinder to the office to use with the Clever Dripper and now my coffee both at home and at the office are substantially better than before.

    My Pa used to say, it doesn’t cost more to go first class, you just pay a little longer.

    He wasn’t good at math, but he was good at life.

      Paradoxically, exercising makes your heart beat slower, this increasing your lifespan.

      Sadly all that is undone by the time you’d have to spend exercising instead of enjoying life.

        Alternatively, your exercise could be hiking in the mountains or something similarly awesome.

    I have two big mantras I subscribe to:

    • “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing in excess.”
    • “All things in moderation.”

    Somewhere between the two, we balance the debauchery, somewhat.

    Most things are fine in moderation, demonizing everything you like is how you get miserable and crave them more

    Sun gives cancer, alcohol too, plus a lot more shit.

    Enjoying your life can be done in a non stupid way.

    The feeling of being skinny grants way more satisfaction for me than food ever will. I wish to stay out of the sun as much as I can so I can be pale forever.
