Crushed 45 minutes on the elliptical today and have been working on some custom tooling to generate column lineange in our DBT data model. Then made some delicious asparagus pasta for dinner. I’m feeling very accomplished today.

Another day another set of reps. I got back to the gym after taking a rest day, incline bench, skull crushers, cable pull through, flexion rows and push ups.

I was supposed to do the hip drive but my insulin site is on my stomach today and that belt has a knack for wrecking them. I also still find skull crushers challenging due to an old cycling accident where I suffered a radial head fracture.

I did some RDLs followed by lunges today at the gym. I don’t have hamstrings anymore.

Threatened Toronto bike lane gets more rush hour traffic than the car lane.

'On June 11, the Toronto Community Bikeways Coalition set up cameras... and counted every vehicle that passed over an imaginary line...
...the study showed that during the afternoon rush hours, bikes, including e-bikes and other micro mobility devices, represented over 50% of all vehicular traffic.'

Back on my research it seems to run a single heat pump I’d likely need a 1000sqft of solar. Not something that’s feasible in my downtown condo #climate

As someone with a bit of #climate anxiety my building had a lot of issues this week dealing with the extreme heat that covered much on Ontario. Though we were comfortable these events are only going to become longer, more severe, and more frequent.

Given current gov policies and flailing accountability I think a long term goal of mine is to establish my own redundant climate control system and solar energy plus battery backup.

In these times I think it’s a good idea to broadly share this: https://www.cultofmac.com/how-to/how-to-hard-lock-your-iphone-in-a-hurry

How to hard lock your iPhone and disable biometric unlock:

1. Hold Lock and *any* Volume Button for 2 seconds
2. This will bring up the slide to power off, medical ID and emergency SOS. Leaving this screen your iPhone will require your passcode before FaceID starts working.

Practice using it. Set a long password, memorize it and don’t use it elsewhere.

How to hard-lock your iPhone in a hurry

If a police officer or federal agent requests or demands your iPhone, hard-lock it before handing it over to protect your private data.

Random question for those #iOS users who like to keep contacts organized. What do you do when someone passes away?

I have my my grandmother for instance, I have messages I’ve sent her over the years, emails and whatnot. What I don’t need is a Siri suggestion to call her on her birthday.

Cyclists, do you ever wonder what you are expected to do when confronted by a "Cyclists Dismount" sign? Why do they even exist? Is it poor road design? Here's an alternative sign. #cycling

I’m playing a bit of #overwatch this morning and am grinding their April Fools event for a skin.

I love when you’re forced to play half baked game modes, that don’t reinforce existing skills, for something that should be unlockable during normal gameplay.

I have to complete at least 12 more games, and 6 if I win them - something that is out of my control as a single member of a 5 person team. I am the fool.
