« on: June 12, 2020, 02:49:18 am »

i've got ~10 growing. about to ramp up bigtime and try to grow a ton of these trees.

1) i love eating the leaves, and they are incredibly nutritious/good for you
2) might be able to sell the leaves/powder at some point -> farm life experiment
3) they grow so fast down here: within a week of putting the seed in dirt, i have a ~4" moringa tree. about another week after that, it's ~8" and I can actually eat some leaves. A month after and it's ~2 ft. 2 months, 3-4 ft.
4) you can chop most of the tree down and it'll grow right back
5) you can propagate it very easily by cuttings

it's used to fight malnutrition now.. the health profile of moringa leaves is actually incredible.

i wakeup and just go to the baby tree & eat like 50 leaves for breakfast... lmao.

love it.

was going to sleep early for once.. 12:30 AM

did my normal "rounds", checking logs/metrics before going to bed. then i notice some frontend error going on..... turned out to be critical.

so instead of sleeping @ 12:30 AM and waking up @ 08:30 AM .. I end up sleeping at 06:30 AM and waking at 10:30 AM. brain was in complete wreckage mode by the end.. that feeling where your body is just begging you to sleep but you know you cant, so you get this brain mush "headache" feeling.

code life. fml.

got everything fixed though.

some partner started passing us data differently, which caused some component to break, wrecking traffic for anyone coming in from that partner. so was critical enough for me to go into emergency mode.

Sunday I got my boss a greentea macha latte frap style w/ whipped cream from Crocante, when I got some empanadas .. instead i just wokeup and drank it. :< :< hit the spot tho.. lmao.

bw = 137

run/trek: 3.5 hours
- probably ~1.5 hours running, ~2 hours walking
- wore my nb rc5000v2's but did lots of grass/rock+dirt surfaces so, i think that was a bad decision. should have worn my xc's.
- actually ran in the cowboy hat today, just to see how it felt/how it'd hold up etc. actually turned out great, no issues.

after run:
- 132

just ordered another cowboy hat <3 \o/

tan one, probably not going to yard work/run in this one. more of a wearing-it-out hat lol.

going to modify my current cowboy hat more tmw, using steam + manipulation etc. going to bring it down in the back and front. watched some videos on it tonight, really cool how you can manipulate these things. i just used normal manipulation initially .. but with steam, you can really do some cool stuff. lol.

gn!

damn man wtf. that really sux that it tweaked when racing your daughter, of all things.

hoping it heals up quick.

Quote from: ChrisM on June 05, 2020, 05:47:20 pm

Not yesterday when it happened or the day before but yes they are routinely in my programming.

FWIW I don't think anything could have prevented this. I was done with my sprint work and my daughter wanted to race me lol so one more I did. The foot strike was just weird. Idk if it caught the grass weird or what but it was an instant pop on the foot strike.

Was able to get into the PT this morning before work. Looks like it's a small tear about 4" above the knee so not near any muscle belly insertion point (good I think?) and on the middle band of muscle (there's 3/4? muscles to the hamstring). We ran through some tests to check flexibility (not much lol) then did some a stim to break down the fibers in the right direction and some cold electro therapy to stimulate some healing. Finished with some dry needling (FUCKIN HATE) to relax the nerve bundles and that made it FEEL a ton better. Now at work and the ibuprofen is wearing off its much more tender. 3 more PT sessions next week and we're reevaluating. Fingers crossed.

NBA Season Restart: Competitive Format Plan

The 22 returning teams for the season restart would be the Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards from the Eastern Conference and the Los Angeles Lakers, LA Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns from the Western Conference.

Each returning team would play eight seeding games, as selected from its remaining regular-season matchups. At the conclusion of the seeding games, the seven teams in each conference with the best combined records across regular-season games and seeding games would qualify for the playoffs.

If the team with the eighth-best combined record in its conference is more than four games ahead of the team with the ninth-best combined record in the same conference, then the team with the eighth-best record would earn the eighth playoff seed.

If the team with the eighth-best combined record in its conference (Team A) is four games or fewer ahead of the team with the ninth-best combined record in the same conference (Team B), then Teams A and B would compete in a play-in tournament to determine the eighth playoff seed. To earn the eighth playoff seed, Team A would need to defeat Team B once and Team B would need to defeat Team A two games in a row.

The 2019-20 season would conclude with a traditional playoff format with best-of-seven series in the first round, conference semifinals, conference finals and the NBA Finals.
