which is why i'm excited to announce the #ovemittschallenge2025q4. this is a #self #careChallenge; starting tomorrow, for all of #Q4 of #2025, can #YOU #respect your body enough to #always use #ovenmitts whenever moving things #into OR #outof the oven, #regardless of #temperature?
i was extremely successful at achieving this. this remains to this day the only new years' resolution i've ever successfully implemented. i started out creative but developed a towel-based strategy for the long haul, and unfortunately for my hands, the habit stuck even after #noovenmittschallenge2024 was over.
I can't rly imagine how an act of surfing ends that doesn't involve falling over, and I feel like the fact that they always cut away before that happens in videos is evidence that this is a fundamental problem with the sport that nobody wants to acknowledge. There is no legitimate success criteria that involves falling over

i mean, they love going to a fancy gym to try out their house weights. but if they're just meeting up with the boys to lift some pounds, they can just go with the flow and use the machines

the handle feel probably has a lot of dimensions. the balance of the weight too. smell? how does it smell when gripped with sweaty hands. a weights connoisseur is moderately string, but abolutely NOT jacked as shit, that would be like a wine connoisseur getting wasted. they do a few reps of each weight, just enough to capture the essence while leaving room for the other weights. they have a collection of their favorite weights that they'll do occasionally a short set with to wind down for the evening, but when they go to the gym they lift the regular gym weights like everyone else
and then of course 592 years later apple pretended they invented it and took all the credit in the public eye
