This of course hinges on my parents and uncle staying reasonably healthy and financially secure, if they end up as vegetables with a nursing home draining all of their assets or decide to blow all of their wealth in Vegas or something the whole plan could kind of fall apart.

I’m a Gen X with Gen Z kids and this is literally the kind of thing that keeps me up at night. I don’t want to go through a long and costly retirement. My mom got dementia. My dad lived to be a hundred. Either of those outcomes fills me with dread that there is no way I have saved anywhere near enough to make that work. At least I don’t see myself doing the Vegas thing, unless it’s a side-effect of the dementia?

I think Guitar Hero was a good investment for my kids, as they came to love all the classics I grew up on.

Neigh, this can’t be!

Wait, they’re not all made in China? Last time we were ordering some for a development board at work, we had to source them from China, though that was admittedly a few years back.

I’m glad you found something that works. I don’t think there is a one size fits all solution to weight gain, but it’s awesome that your approach does not necessitate splurging on diet plans or gym memberships.

I’ve been losing weight very slowly myself over the past several years since I cancelled my largely ignored gym membership during the pandemic and bought an ebike instead. I commute on it regularly and, while it’s hardly what I would call a vigorous workout, it seems to have flipped the weight curve from slight gain/time to even slighter loss. Like we’re talking a pound/month if that. But I’ll take it!

Ok thanks I managed to subscribe eventually through the link: https://piefed.ca/f/[email protected]

There must be a more instance-agnostic way to do this though? 🤔 Something like [email protected] maybe? Or is that more of a lemmy thing?

I’m new to piefed. Could someone explain how I can subscribe to these from piefed.ca?
