This is either a weirdly specific copypasta or your brain is somewhat ironically completely off the rails. Either way, I'm here for it

Should be a subbranch of "ambivalent towards safety" - How do you like to endanger yourself -> Blowing things up = Chem Eng or Hit things with hammers = Geology

Cats go nuts at the witching hour anyway, being inside or outside has nothing to do with it.

Basically, nah, they're alright inside. They sleep for between 12 to 18 hours a day and get most active at dawn and dusk, so having some way for them to burn off energy with a good cat tree or the like will keep them occupied. And if they want more than that, they will come to you and make their demands known. And if that's still not enough and you're willing to put the effort in and do some acclimatising, you could get a second cat and they'll keep each other occupied.

In Australia, we'd call it the Bradbury strategy, named after a speed skater who won a gold medal when the 4 or so skaters in front of him fell over on the final lap. Keep doing your thing and wait for everyone else to fuck up.

The big question is what would you want to get out of doing more accessory exercises? If you're hitting all the muscles you want to hit, and it looks like you're doing the classic routine that hits the big areas evenly, I dont see any issues with 2 per week, you'll still get stronger and grow muscle, depending on how weights and reps. Further, more workouts equals more fatigue which equals higher risk of injuring yourself, so if you just want to do accessories for the sake of doing them, that's just burning energy to wear yourself out, and you could probably do a better job of that through cardio. I do a couple of accessory days myself, but that's more shoulder and wrist work to help my tennis, as well as a functional leg training day in amongst there since I work outdoors a lot. It all comes down to what you want out of it and what your body will allow.

I got back on the Warframe wagon with the Whispers in the Walls update. After a long break, I'm impressed how much better it is, and it's hooks are firmly back in my brain. The new location and the throat chanting type soundtrack from the semi-hidden boss regularly flash into my brain at awkward times.

I love these word cloud things, because you can see the shitposts float to the top as the class gets in on the action. A palaeontology class once did one asking why we thought life began moving from water to land, and we all just watched the word Craig get bigger and bigger. Fucking Craig, this is all his fault.

Yikes. I got it through Game Pass and still wanted my money back

If memory serves, when brain activity is measured in betting, dopamine hits the highest right before the outcome of a bet, so it's effectively the risk inherent in betting that causes the high, not the outcome. I'd have to find the article to becertain, though.

Just hit a couple of new PBs this week: 270 pounds on the bar squat, and 335 pounds on the deadlift. Pretty happy with myself

No kidding, I remember buying a loaf of rye bread when I went to the US and being shocked that it tasted sweet. It's rye bread, sweetness is not the flavour I was going for.

I liked that Mike Patton voiced both the Darkness and also the Anger Sphere from Portal. Horrifying mass of snakes, blades and tentacles, then a harmless orb.
