No cable TV here, just YouTube over Roku :wink:

I was thinking of something like walking in the woods, cycling, climbing, swimming, sauna, reading… :joy:

I bought a new PC and a new monitor. Monitor: Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2. Computer: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, MSI B850 Gaming PLUS Wifi, 32GB G.Skill Trident Z NEO RGB DDR5-6000 CL30, ASUS Radeon RX 9070 PRIME, Samsung 9100 PRO 4 TB. Case:Fractal Design Define 7 Black Solid.

They’re not relaxing! Well, maybe reading occasionally!

Don´t forget to update your kernel

Nice hardware!


New summer tires. :wheel:

Well, but isn’t there always snow in your area :rofl:

Yeah, but you see they were on sale, so thought what the heck, man always needs tires. Although had to fight 15 polar bears of before getting to go, was totally worth it.

And of course walrus tried sneaking into trunk. Those damn big toothed buggers.

I also bought a new set. It turns out that I made a very profitable purchase - 25000 ₽ (258 €) :thinking:

Those are really a bargain. I think you don’t get so cheap tires from Finland anywhere.

Was it with the wheel works or did you change them yourself?

Apparently, there is a significant margin for the “premium” of the manufacturer.

But I can say that for the whole winter, for example, I did not have a single question to Belshina. And I think you know what happened to the snow in the Moscow region :face_with_peeking_eye:

I have two sets of wheels, for winter and for summer. So I just change it myself.

Of course, I do the initial tire installation and balancing in specialized workshops.

Of that list, I would only consider “reading” to be something that would be relaxing. All the others sound more like…exercise…anti-relax.

Exercise can be very relaxing. You only focus on one task at hand, which is movement. There’s also other benefits to exercise , such as better sleep and appetite for example.

It’s actually really concerning that exercise and movement in general has become so alien to people.

A triple upgrade: new monitor, power strip and keyboard

It took a while but Volume 10 of the High School DxD light novel finally arrived today. :partying_face:


Oh, a Kinect on your PC. Are you a developer @BoredCat, or do you have applications/games that use it?

I did a lot of development with these and their v2 successor, for various bespoke installations some years ago.

some games on my Xbox 360 make use of it

Grim Dawn (and DLCs) is currently on sale on Steam and GoG. I bought it on GoG and had to buy it. :wink:

New mountain bike crank because I stripped the threads for the chainring bolts in the old one, having not done them up tight enough :roll_eyes:
