i'm a lifelong mouthbreather haha. i think because my nasal passages have always been a little constricted. but breathing in through one's nose is supposed to be a more efficient way to get oxygen into the bloodstream. i can usually tell the difference but sometimes i have to switch back to mouthbreathing because of those constricted nasal passages.

absolutely everything i know about it comes from one summer of cross-country training, when the coach was constantly screaming at us to "breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth!!!!"

playing tennis almost every day is the best thing i've done for myself in yearssticking to a manageable routine of pushups, pullups (finally having a pullup bar is amazing,) squats, and a bit of free weights most daysdrinking significantly more water than i used to, especially when i wake up in the morning

Webinars possibly overdoing it though.Podcasts which now clash with webinarsGetting back into sewing with a new borrowed sewing machine after attempts at fixing previous one have gone wrong.Anadolu pop since more arrived from Guerssen purchase.Valerian tea.Not so much into waking up at 6 am which seems to be a constant in summer.Not into the idea of psychedelics as an investment opportunity for bankers and other capital which I came across a few days ago. Bit creeper out by the idea like Monsanto trying to get heavily into the cannabis market. Hope that things might improve a bit by the end of the pandemic. People get a better deal. see their worth rise in a positive person centric way. See that the powers that be will do their utmost to prevent that.but people are motivated for change I think.Also hoping that the good that has been done by nature getting a 3 month break might continue. Seeing headlines about there only being months before permanent harm is done appearing again though.

DJI: I got a lifesmart plug and play, which means it didn't need new wiring done (though I guess if I'd had forethought I could have done wiring for one since I literally just finished converting our garage to a small living space), it just plugs into an outdoor outlet; so it's very slightly underpowered compared to ones that are permanently wired but not by much. I'm really impressed with it. The only bad thing is that it says it's a 4 person when realistically, it fits two comfortably. You'd have to be pretty cozy with the other two people if you crammed them in there. My recommendation would be to go see one in person and see what the inside configuration is like; we just bought this blind online out of desperation looking at a summer of never going anywhere. It's perfectly fine for us since it's only myself, my wife, and our son who are likely to ever use is, but I'm really glad we didn't get the three person one we were considering.

Oxo cooking utensils. First I got their hand powered whisk, then the grater, then the hand powered food processor. These are cooking accessories that bloody brilliant you want to fuck them!

love oxo!! I am a fan of their potato masher, locking tongs, whisks, ice cube trays w lids, pepper mill w crank, pizza cutter, silicone pastry brush, brush and dustpan, angled measuring cups, coctail strainer, and sink strainer. Not a fan of their bottle brush, the neck is too flimsy!!
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 8 July 2020 14:13 (three years ago) link
Odds Against Tomorrow, i meant.
the Oxo hand-powered food processor is a work of genius, product design perfection, one of humanity's greatest achievements etc .. imo!

I had an Oxo angled measuring cup for a while, thought it was fine, then I managed to break the handle clean off at some point and I was like welp. Replaced it with Pyrex. Still a good idea, just too destructible.

It's probably worth mentioning that one of Oxo's product designers also used to design sex toys.
(we have a LOT of Oxo stuff - faves are probably the salad spinner, the pineapple cutter, the coffee press cleaner, but all are indispensable)

Bicycling 15+ miles around the city with nowhere in particular to go and little plans as to my routeYES. This is so much fun. For years and years I lived in small areas (10,000 - 30,000 people) and now live in a small city with ~500k in the metro area and its so much fun to randomly end up in weird neighborhoods I didn’t know existed.
