Bought a new phone, Oneplus 6.

Specs-wise that phone looks guuuuuuud (camera aside), but I dunno about "Oxygen OS."

At least it's launching with Treble.

Coming from an iPhone 6s I'm very impressed so far. Camera feels better too but oversaturates compared to iphones tru colours. Maybe its some pro settings I can tweak. Battery life is great too.

Oxygen OS is very close to stock and smooth (I had to google to see what the differences are and they are minor), no bloatware, no shit.

Went to the gym today for the first time in 5 years

Body fat at 21,7% (19% would be ok)

So not too far from normal, drinking my last beer for a few weeks now, hopefully down to 15% fat in 10 weeks

I’m at a kid’s party, and apart from a well stocked bar and a chick in her early 20’s wearing something far too tight, there ain’t a lot going on. Then my missus says ‘I think you should pick my handbag up, and check under it when you do’.

Well, some poor fucker has only gone and dropped an eighth. Smells pretty fucking peng too. Well, that’s made my afternoon just that little bit brighter. Just need to find a couple of grams of coke and this afternoons barbecue will be golden.

I had been frustrated by constantly ending up with dry, tough chicken breasts when I baked them in the oven. Today I tried brining the breast before baking. That made a tremendous difference. So much more tender.

Congrats on your brinned breasts. Hope they stay tender.

This happened to me before and it felt like the walls of reality were melting away.

Back when I used to code there was this incident where they had the whole team struggling to figure out a specific problem, and they had been working on it for 3 days. I got frustrated and go to the bathroom. And suddenly it all fell into place. I went back to the room where everyone was still arguing and I said, "Shut up! This is how we fix it!" And draw the whole design on the white board. After I was done everyone was like "Yeah....that'll work....what were you doing in that bathroom?"

After that my boss took to sending me to the bathroom whenever I was working on a difficult problem. I do it with my developers now too. If we're stuck on something I'll be like "Leave the room. Get out. Go to the bathroom or something. Don't come back for at least 20 minutes". It used to be the best when we had a client that was across the street from the arcade. Sometimes with complicated things you need to forget it all to remember the solution.

12% done now. 😬

It's actually going pretty smoothly for the part of the script I'm in. I thought the first act might be a chore to write but it's flowing pretty well.

My perfectionist tendencies are also MIA, which makes me think they're gonna wait until I'm 99% done and then force me to rewrite the whole thing or something right when I think I'm done.

If anyone would like to do me a solid and read this thing for feedback whenever I finish it, you'll get 100 Tasty BJ Bucks (200 = handy, 1000 = swallow.)

You have already tried this, idk, but if you only place a bid in the last 10 seconds at the maximum amount you want to pay for it (aka sniper bidding) usually it's the most effective solution in my experience. Bidding too early otoh leaves others to push the price higher sooner. For extremely popular items though this technique is probably less reliable.
