Ate some spicy chicken yesterday, but apparently had a sugar coating on it. My ketones dropped from 2.4 to 1.6. I will be avoiding that restaurant in the future. Kind of disappointing

It's raining heavily now, so a good time to go swimming. I don't know why people don't swim in the rain. You're getting wet anyway. But my community pool is always empty in the rain.

I have a lot of pending social media messages I haven't responded to? Kind of avoiding it? Don't feel like getting engaged in personal conversations. Mostly cuz I don't feel like meeting people, and I know if I engage in those conversations it's going to lead to invitations that I would either have to do or turn down this weekend. And I have that social anxiety of saying no

Isn't it dangerous to swim in water when it is raining, because the lightning can strike the water or so?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 3 points 1 year ago

If it's thunder and lightning, I'd agree with you. But if it's just raining I think it's fairly safe.

Also depends on your local environment, my building happens to have a lot of tall buildings around it, so there's lightning rods everywhere. So I feel fairly confident that even if there was lightning the pool would not be the optimal path to ground.
