Pretty much. I'm not sure I totally buy into that it's much of an increase though. Or people would be dropping like flies.

I think the bigger issues is just being generally overweight. The percentage of overweight people is crazy, regardless of their jobs.

I'm 55 and not to be an old man and say "in the old days", but in the old days, when I was growing up. I knew ONE overweight person. Yeah, just one. It just wasn't common. Look at pics from the 1970's, and you just won't see a whole lot of overweight people.

Now? Everywhere I look. I'm sure more office workers have added to that, but that doesn't account for everyone.

I work in an elementary school. And I was sitting at lunch just looking around and thinking about it. Teachers are actually pretty active. Lots of walking around the classroom. Very little sit down time in an elementary school.

Me and two others are fit. Rest are all overweight. How did this happen?!

Ok, rant over. Just got me to thinking. :)

Really? And here I am trying to figure out how to live forever!

No, don't do that. Stress is bad for the heart too! lol

Good points! I should have remembered telemarketing, I actually did that for 3 years! But two years in office, covid let us do it from home.

I’m surprised to hear a phone for $100 referred to as cheap.

Fair point. That was the cheapest I could find one that did GPS, cam/vid, and have some apps on it. I do have a crappy flipphone for $30, but I found out that girls I date like to text. A lot. So texting/sending pics/vids was something I found I needed.

But yeah, my gf has a $1,000 iPhone. I'm like wtf! lol

Good to know. I may have to revisit this idea.

In your experience, is making your own bread cheaper than just buying bread? Or do you do it for the love of making your own bread?

I like the idea of it, but if it ends up being more expensive anyway, I don't really wanna do it. It's just so easy to buy a loaf of bread at the store.

But I also like the idea of making some tasty bread and mixing in some protein powder so I could have protein bread. lol

I realize this is an older post, but I just now found it. I'm actually using this this textbook resource right now as a result of your post. Thank you!

This is exactly why I am so frustrated that my youth was spent on girls, drinking, fucking off, and avoiding anything to do with all authority.

That lifestyle is behind me, and I want to do all this cool stuff, but lack the skills and the income to pull it off.

But this article has inspired me to really jump into a whole new DIY thing. Love the mindset and innovation for this. Thanks for this post!

This reminds me that I need to start using the Pi that I have. Life got busy, but I wanna refocus on it. Thanks for this, OP!
