I'm a lead dev so I'm now the guy who says things like "Back in my day we used to do manual memory management, we used to poke and peek the memory. And we didn't have stack overflow or chat gpt. We had books and IRC groups!" I hate coding though.

f**k me I feel like a bag of shit today. Still low key ill - at least I know it's likely not the rona or flu. Oh well, on to shovelling shit.

Going to a cabin in the woods this weekend, getting good and pissed in a hot tub. Last time we made friends with a bunch of middle aged couples accross the way, also pissed in their hot tub. We named them the "East Sussex swingers association" Reckon they wanted some young meat. Not that we're so young. Someone suggested ninja warrior one evening as it's nearby and the resounding verdict was yes but no bitching about your back, hips, knees, ankles, feet or any other part of you which you will 100% strain. Just sit there, drink your wine and quietly eat a couple of rennies occasionally.

Your body retains water when you fast, which is likely why your weight didn't drop rapidly. I generally say weigh once a week first thing in the morning and (optionally) measure with calipers for a true idea of progress. Your body burns more calories when you're fighting infection, this is why you lost weight in hospital. It's not really that complex honestly, calories in calories out is a basic scientific constant but you do need to understand a few other bits if you want to look under the microscope. The average male will need a 3500kcal deficit to lose 1lb in body fat, as a rule of thumb. But really the amount you burn will vary on height, weight, BMI, activity level and (to a lesser extent) genetic and hormonal factors. You can calculate this roughly online and by tracking progress fine tune your knowledge of your body over time. Best thing is aim for about 1lb a week and you won't feel too sluggish or drained.

Dark chocolate is actually higher in fat. But it is better for you, lower sugar, less empty calories. Though, as with all things and with the emphasis on sustainability, a bit of what you fancy does you good. A bit, mind. I rarely buy chocolate for this reason, it somehow disappears in one sitting

To be fair it's not that much if you say, have a pizza and a salad for dinner. Long as you're not eating a lot during the daytime 1000 calories isn't bad for a main meal. It's more when you're a greedy bast*rd like me and have 2 pizzas, garlic bread, chicken wings, dressed salad and probably dessert. I didn't used to be a fat **** for no reason, I love a good feed The one downside to knowing just how many calories are in certain things is at times of feasting, Christmas for example. You tend to find yourself quoting starwars "Never tell me the numbers"

It's one if those legal grey areas. Just don't crash it

f**k me, I like Christmas but bitches be crazy. Glad I haven't got to deal with that Half the climax is in the tease and anticipation, surely women know this? Mines going up I think on the 8th or 9th because I've got family up for a pre Christmas buffet get together thing. Good morning! God I feel like shit today, ahh well, back to shovelling shit.

I've got an IAM assesment in a couple of weeks, it's not really a thing I want to do but I want to get on the blood bikes eventually so needs must. I've got a horrible image of showing up on my crusty tiger in my filthy leathers and the guy being like "f**k is this idiot doing" Leaving my military surplus camouflage waterproofs at home that day... Probably less of the "London" filtering too. Sure it'll be fine tbh, be an interesting insight I do not doubt.

I used to weigh 175kg (down to 85kg at my peak) and I'll tell you this, you can't outrun the fork. 80% of weight loss is in diet. Doesn't mean eating celery and being constantly miserable and hungry it means making sustainable long term changes to your diet and your attitude towards food. What makes you lose weight is caloric deficit - there is no fat burning exercise or targeted fat loss, it's purely eating less than your body needs so that it resorts to using fat stores. If you're struggling with the gym, the best thing you can do is go home and do 5 sets of 10 fork put downs. Try making small changes just on instinct, if you find that isn't enough try portion size reduction. You might also consider tracking - not permanently, but do it for a month say and it'll illuminate the surprising number of calories in some innocuous food. Right, time for a bacon roll.

Wheras I had the boards up last summer in 32 degree heat to rewire some lighting. Wearing just a set of rugby shorts and my crocs. The sweat was coming out so fast that no fibreglass could have gotten near tbh.

I swear there's still a divot melted in my bellend

It's not the face eyes you need worry about, ask me how I know

Nothing like the feeling of fibreglass in your skin and eyes

Alright my luvvers
