Oh my god just imagining a Don’t Worry Be Happy cult in my yard makes me really grateful to just have a bindweed infestation.

So you’re telling me, you put two of these on a bar that already weighs 20kg?

My personal best is 605 pound 274.5 kg deadlift from the ground at Olympic height. Aside from having an off day today, I should be able to hit 655.
In competition I’ve hit 805/365 kg from blocks that raise it a little so it isn’t quite as far of a pull.
But compare that to Hafthor’s 1104lb/501kg lift on Saturday and I’ve still got a ways to go

Nah pretty sure that’s impossible. I don’t think the weights go up that high.

This is what my spine tells me also. My next object of desire will be new disks for my back

Hypoallergenic cat. 2 of them so that each can have a kitty friend. Estimated cost $3000 and the guilt of not giving a shelter cat a home.

iPhone 11 Pro Max. I’m rocking a 6S+ and it is not cutting it anymore. I’m embarrassed of the quality of the photos I’m putting on my social media for the businesses, my battery is garbage even after replacing it less than 6 months ago.
I could go with the 11 and get lots of similar features but I’m wondering if the extra $400 buying me a bit better camera/extra camera, a bit more battery life, OLED screen, and 1” more screen (vs .5” more screen on the 11) is worth it. Would it mean that the pro will last longer than the 11 aging-wise? I tend to keep my phones until they absolutely break so this is tough for me. My 6S+ isn’t currently unusable but it is the only camera I have for my businesses and it is just not good enough.
I have enough money for it but it’s still a significant expense. Being a responsible adult business owner is less fun than just buying new shiny things

Also wow. H was like “What about older models, lets compare stats!” and we find that the XS Max has basically all the size and features I want and is still a huge step up. AT&T wants $1150 for one and Apple doesn’t sell them anymore. An 11 Pro Max is $1200. WTF.

Current objects of desire: a wardrobe overhaul to something with more dystopian/cyberpunk hints to match my current mood lately.

I decided to work with what I have for at least one outfit, picture over on OOTD: Share Your Looks!
@Smacky I know I’ve seen where that’s from (graphic novel) but can’t remember the name exactly right now.
If I went fully apoc I’d have to make sure to do something more comfortable than what I wore to Dragon*Con years ago - I decided to be a merchant/trader person but also a southern belle so I DIYed a hula-hoop skirt and my smaller wears were tied to the skirt as a wearable showroom then another layer of fabric over it to cover them up the rest of the time. I also made a flattened bottle cap corset (inspired by scale mail) and holy shit was that uncomfortable. It fit with the concept as no one could gut-stab me to steal my stuff. If I can find a picture later on my other computer I might post it, that was fun.

A really big cork board, or something along those lines, that I can mount on the wall behind my desk. Also some cute pushpins to go with it.

It’s still ice cream over here. Has been for roughly six weeks. Walmart pickup would mean melted ice cream, which is sadder than none.
Perhaps I should make some, but I don’t have any cream either. I wonder if evaporated milk would work?
