Until side-by-side is available, I will still use VS Code.

You are completely right, what works for me is two things, when I feel that it is cold outside, I ask myself "Would an athlete skip just because it's cold?", and the answer is always no, which means if I want to be an athlete I have to behave like one.
Second thing is to always force myself to warm up at home, this makes me mentally prepared removing the feel of not wanting to go, and helps with the cold outside.

Definitely, I had some requests, I will be sharing some as soon as I start making them prettier.
For the sauce I went with 50/50 soy sauce, rice vinegar and added some crispy chili oil, super easy and tasty.

The recipe I followed was basically this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoTqzjg83u8

marcus-aurelius Link ParentI think it has more to do with Vince Gilligan, his shows normally go slow with big payoffs at the end of the season, so far I think Pluribus is adding interesting information with each episode.I think it has more to do with Vince Gilligan, his shows normally go slow with big payoffs at the end of the season, so far I think Pluribus is adding interesting information with each episode.

The only issue I have is how bad the opening times and how crowded the swimming lines can be sometimes, otherwise, is a good complementary exercise to calisthenics

It you want to give it a try Learning to be me is an excellent short story from him.

Spoilers ahead
In 28 years later, we see how the kid is forced to become an adult, from the beginning leaving his power ranger behind and having to take harder and harder decisions until there's no innocence in him, just endurance and growth.The gang at the end are his complete opposite, the kids who never grew, dress and behave as the content they watched on TV, fight like power rangers, basically kids that went thought life as unsupervised savages doing whatever they wanted.
It shows how the kid at the beginning of the movie and the protagonist grew in completely opposite directions, and hints how their views of the world will clash in the next movie.

Nice coworkers.
Although I have to say, the new management is ruining many of the things I like.

I was stuck without success trying the handstand push-up until I saw a video of a guy indicating how to do the correct bending of the elbows, and it was suddenly way easier, same happened with the muscle up initial swing.
Many people also recommend recording yourself, I don't like to do it, but it's the best way to correct mistakes.
Even if the book does not improve your calisthenics, it will at least improve your sleep, those topics did wonders to clear my mind from other thoughts before sleeping.
More than my role, it's related with working on a monorepo, good merging tools are always required to solve merge conflicts specially when I'm assigned long projects.
