Informal cardio survey
  • I try and hit the gym twice a week (where I exercise every muscle group on both occasions), and I try to run twice a week (a 5k and an 8k-10k). I don't really have any goals, just trying to get and then stay healthy.

  • Do you have any games that you like but you never finished?
  • Don't knock getting distracted, I love getting distracted in open world games. Though to be fair I have ADHD, so it's inevitable.

  • GFN Thursday - July 6
  • Another disappointing Thursday. Good to see AOE2 arrive though.

  • Do you have any games that you like but you never finished?
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance. I love the game, but when ever I start playing I end up wandering around the forests and exploring the game world. Though I think I'm most of the way through the main story.

  • What happened to all the posts in this community?
  • Understood. Thanks for letting me know.

  • What happened to all the posts in this community?

    There used to be a number of posts in this community, one of which I replied to, but they have all disappeared. Why did this happen?

    Would you prefer a route that is…?
  • Gentle downhill with some steep uphill sections would be more fun, and running is better if it's fun.

  • 'No kill' meat, grown from animal cells, is now approved for sale in the U.S.
  • Awesome, this is great news for animal welfare. I haven't eaten meat in years though, and don't miss it as the alternatives are so good. However, I am very much looking forward to decent cheese (Roquefort) made from lab grown milk, as vegan cheese is shite.

  • How am I notified if someone replies to my post? I think i've seen a few replies, but it doesn't appear to notify me.
  • Jerboa for Lemmy doesn't notify me of comments either, and there is no notifications icon on the main page. Hourly these issues are resolved quickly.

  • Lemmy.world starting guide
  • This is likely a stupid question, but why can I instantly subscribe to some sublemmys? (I have no idea what the equivalent of subreddits are called in Lemmy) but on others my sub request remains pending indefinitely? Thanks.

  • Favourite narrators?
  • You're very welcome, I hope you enjoy it.

  • Favourite narrators?
  • You may consider my interests to be a bit niche, which could potentially limit your interest in the titles they have narrated, but I'd recommend the following: 'The Gentle Art of Tramping' by Stephen Graham, 'A Walk in the Woods' by Bill Bryson, and 'Orchard - A Year in England’s Eden' by Benedict Macdonald and Nicholas Gates. I find their styles of narration soothing and entertaining. I often find myself unable to enjoy audio books due to the narrator being a poor match for the subject matter, poor pacing or a voice devoid of character and enthusiasm. But Mike and William are both brilliant. If you do like the sound of the books mentioned above, I'd also point you in the direction of 'Alaskan Retreater's Notebook: One Man's Journey into the Alaskan Wilderness' by Ray Ordorica, narrated by Stephen Bel Davies. He does an incredible job. I found myself only vaguely interested in this book, at best, but put it on when working in my garden. The charming narrator and the unexpected evolution of the book from dry instruction manual into a heart warming tale of a man deeply moved and forever changed by the animals he shared his spot in the wilderness with, utterly captivated me.

  • Weekend poll: Do you currently use a third-party Reddit app?
  • I use a ReVance patched version of the official app, but Reddit's recent actions led to me moving here, as killing 3rd party apps in inexcusable.

  • Favourite narrators?
  • Either Mike Grady or William Roberts.

  • Back to working out, could use some pointers
  • Just my humble opinion, but nothing I've done shifts weight like running. Don't just focus on one thing though. Maybe take up running, include some resistance/weight exercises each week too, and try to improve your diet. Make those changes and you should see a difference quickly.

  • Thanks for the link. Good to see this sub exists. Hopefully it starts growing as more people move away from Reddit.
