    Like @Ten I woke up at 4am too, but on purpose: I participated Run 5.30 with a friend. Then I went on with my day as usual, but sleepiness is really getting at me now (7pm, gmt+1)

    This weekend I'm going to Arrogant Sour Festival, a big and delicious festival of sour and spontaneously fermented beers. I've been an happy patron since its first edition in 2014 and it grew big!

    I don't listen to podcasts consistently, but since you mentioned Dr. Rhonda Patrick I suggest her videos (they are pretty much podcasts) at Found My Fitness
    Also another guest of Joe Rogan which I believe is worth following is Peter Attia, who is really into studying longevity and has some great insights
    They can both get pretty deep into medical stuff that often goes right over my head, but my studies give me a decent base in biology, and I have a general interest in nutrition and fitness

    I track the movies I see on imdb
    It's just convenience, and the ratings aren't always well thought, the system is personal, etc. My ratings should be the green stars and the gold ones are imdb's
    As you can see it's quite a long list, with many kind of titles in it. It became almost necessary to keep track: sometimes I forget having already watched a movie...
    I'd actually like to talk about the individual ways we consume and discuss movies, but maybe that would be better as a separate topic

    I'm into exercising too! I usually do a mix of bodyweight stuff (mostly following Overcoming Gravity), weightlifting, yoga and running! I never went to a gym, only yoga studios. I've built a little homemade gym in my basement with a structure to rest the barbell for squats and a pull-up bar, all made of iron, welded with my crafty uncle
    For some reason it's one of the few things I can be really consistent on. If I don't move I feel rusty and full of little aches I believe physical activity is one of those things that if you aren't doing you don't realise you need

    I would consider myself too a social democrat but the last elections, in Italy, I voted for a party (+Europa) that would fall a bit more to the centre. My reasoning was that I really like their firm position on social issues and for the need of a more integrated EU. I also trust some of the party's representatives. I'm not keen on all their points pertaining economy, as I lean more left, but still I find them based on solid reasoning and I believe them to be all the opposite of empty promises (they are more like hard truths)
    Also I knew that if the party didn't get 3% its votes would go to Democratic Party, which was my second option, so I'm rather content with my decision. I just had to accept the total defeat of both parties
    As you may or may not know Italy is in a bit of a political turmoil right now, but it seems that we will have a government at last, though it's political stability remains to be seen

    But I'm probably biased due to Diablo being one of my first video games. In '96 I was 6 years old and my father just bought our first pc :)
