Fungal Disaster

some other gems from fisk bot

and my personal all-time favourite:

Swimming. Throw yourself in some water and don't die in it

Martial arts. Throw yourself into combat and don't die in it

Take exactly enough change for one bus trip and get on the bus. Get out a few miles away. Either you get home eventually or you don't

I also watched a friend who was a powerlifter and damaged an elbow in that line of exercise go from "I can't do much with that hand anymore, and also I have no idea what these weird movements can do to help" to "holy shit, this weird stuff actually can be a challenge?" to becoming an avid climber because she used their programs to help strengthen that elbow.

Also they have a ton of info they give out for free, and their programs aren't subscription, not most of them. It's "buy it; use it forever."

Bonus:

The heat’s been brutal this summer but we still gotta eat! If you’re like me, heat might suppress your appetite, and the last thing any of us want is to sweat over a hot stove and oven when it’s already boiling outside. Here are some of my favorite hot-weather recipes to keep hydrated and fed with when the weather is unbearable! (All recipes should be un-paywalled).

NYT’s best gazpacho (lives up to its name!!)

Persian cold cucumber soup (if you like tzatziki you will like this!)

Eric Kim’s cold noodles with tomato (infinitely riffable Korean flavor profile — for a creamier and less brothy take, try these cold sesame noodles too)

Vietnamese chicken and herb salad (this is an excellent time to get a rotisserie chicken so you don’t have to turn the oven on)

Radish sandwiches with butter and salt (and in a similar vein, if you dig this flavor combo you should try this Polish cottage cheese dip on some good rye bread or even crackers)

It’s still a little early in the season, but you can never go wrong with a BLT (or, if you don’t eat bacon, try this tomato furikake sandwich in its place)

Infinite iterations of pasta salad! You can use anything you got but here is a template I like.

Assorted dense bean salads. This back pocket canned salad is a weird combo of jarred ingredients but it slaps, this hoagie-inspired one is super satisfying, and cowboy caviar is a classic for a reason.

Poke bowls! Canned tuna mixed with some kewpie mayo and sriracha is a budget-friendly riff on the usual ahi and makes everything taste like a spicy tuna roll, but use whatever proteins you like, this is more of a loose template.
