  • What do you even do at a gym?

    Use training equipment that you don't have access to otherwise, to perform exercises aligned with your fitness goals. Some people do classes with trainers at gyms.

    I feel like I could do all of that at home.

    If you have the space and the money to invest in a home gym, that will be more than sufficient. Not everyone does, hence gym memberships. Classes with trainers are also not available at home, so that could be a reason to get a gym membership.

    Gym memberships are insanely expensive.

    It depends on the gym. I pay approximately $40 per year for access to my gym, and that covers everyone in my household.

    The investment in fitness can also pay dividends that outweigh the costs - strength and cardiovascular fitness will let you live longer without being sick. If you have to pay for your healthcare, this may also manifest as a concrete money saving.

    Are home workouts actually effective?

    They can be. It's not going to be as effective as working out with full equipment, but you also may not need the full effectiveness. And if the choice is between home workouts and no workouts, the home workouts are far better.

    Does one even enjoy gym time?

    I enjoy going to the gym. I like the progression in becoming stronger.

  • Are you really going to spend money developing and maintaining a native app?

    If your functionality warrants being installed on a mobile device, then you are expected to deliver a certain level of quality for being on that device.

    I have zero patience for cheapskate business douchebags who want to have their cake and eat it too, and I will not speak in their defence, not ever.

  • I agree that their browser is broadly speaking pretty bad, but I also happen to think that native apps are generally preferable on account of web tech being a large pile of flaming garbage.

    Broken clocks and all I guess

  • Anyone who says 'These years are the best of your life' are really just telling you that their life peaked at that age.

    If you play your cards right and have a large serving of luck, this will not be true for you.

  • The M-series MacBook Pros are very good machines, even though they cost a lot of money. The performance/price ratio was a lot worse for the Intel-macs, but that has shifted. I would probably get one of those if I were you - you're likely not going to have to switch computers as often that way and have a more competent machine for a longer time that way.

  • In Sweden, where cinnamon buns are from, the use of this kind of glaze does not exist - we use pearl sugar instead.

    Also, the concept of Soggy Biscuit in Swedish is called 'Runka bulle', which loosely translates to 'Wank Bun', where bun by default refers to a cinnamon bun. So anytime we see a cinnamon bun with glazing, this is the only thing that comes to mind.
