Just depends on the mods. Some are on a real power trip - or just see too much spam.

I hustle but have learned to balance it with regular exercise. I started taking care of my body five years ago. Since then I've run 4 half marathons and recently my first triathlon. I work out about 2 hrs a day, 6x a week. If care about yourself, you'll make the time. Chase lofty physical goals and work towards them consistently.

I can create and modify text files and directories. I can look up commands and run them like grep, sed, etc. I can ssh into boxes, write Dockerfiles and bash scripts.

The funny thing is that abun.com only ranks for two keywords according to KeySearch. "blog ai writer" and "abun", with "blog ai writer" bringing 260 visits a month. If the tool worked so well, I would have guessed that you would be dominating SERPs. Good luck destroying the web, Junaid Bhai!

I imagine they just asked ChatGPT to give him a bulleted summary of X book.

I teach as an adjunct at a local community college online. It pays about $1k a month. Just basic HTML, CSS and Python. It is about 2 hrs of work per week.

I get into the gym 5x a week. It is a non-negotiable part of my schedule. I sign up for running events that are 12-16 weeks out and then use training plans like Run with Hal or Nike Run Club to figure out what I need to do daily.

I love going to my local YMCA because I enjoy seeing the regulars every day and they have everything I need - dumbells, isolation machines, benches and squat racks.

Thats reasonable. I would slow down to under 150 bpm, even if it means that you are just brisk walking and aim to get at least 15-20 miles a week.

As a millennial caught in between the IRC and Discord waves (I feel like a lot of us were just on Reddit), how can I find these Discord communities?
