@nprofile1q... Yeah I'm always torn about recommending some sports, because I know my fellow nerds - we always take everything too far. Climbing and lifting have obvious dangers. That's what I like about rowing - it's super low-impact, so old rowers keep right on doing it.
On the other hand, weighting the risks of someone getting too fit and too strong, versus doing nothing - I think it's worth it :-)

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... The original context (many posts ago) was 68000, but yes :-)

And if you've never done any exercise, nor do you ever plan to, at least read this: https://web.archive.org/web/20250107072220/https://cohost.org/tomforsyth/post/4111638-exercise-for-nerds-w

Don't go nuts of course - plenty of climbers get tendon problems because they climb and climb and climb. But a little really helps. When I start to feel "tight wrists" it's usually because for one reason or another I haven't had a row in a while. So that's my advice - LHTAPTDA.

My (amateur) theory is those tendons were designed for climbing trees. They're massively strong - when I row, the power of the five largest muscles in my body goes through them, and they easily handle it. But when you type or mouse or play piano, they soften up and "stick". Reset them by LHTAPTDA.

Anything where you put big, static stress on those wrist tendons seems to help. Lift Heavy Things And Put Them Down Again of course. Or I like to row (I used to row on the water, now on a machine). Climbing and bouldering is good too. You want big "hook hands" with slow strong strain.

@nprofile1q... The thing I like about Pandoc is it's so dirt simple. You know exactly what it's going to do. You can always insert manual HTML for the cleverer things. I'm tempted to just go ahead and use it and see if it fits my needs. I'd say there's an 80% chance it does.
@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Yeah, instant save/load and deterministic replay is AMAZING for debugging. Takes a little discipline, but less than you'd think.
