To give some background, I used to be a semi-regular martial arts practitioner, doing boxing for under a year and having trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 2 years and competing nationally a few times. I'm about a 5'6 brown man and at my strongest was approx 68kg of mostly muscle with a tiny amount of visceral fat (just enough that I didn't have visible abs despite having enough muscle for it and very clearly feeling them). My lifts were approx 180kg deadlift, 150kg squat and my bench wasn't great.

I stopped training three years ago due to getting very busy with something's that I considered more important such as travelling, only doing occasionally bodyweight exercises (pull ups, dips etc) some dumbbell and kettlebell lifting. As a result I lost a significant portion of muscle and even got fat for a bit (although now I'm just skinny-fat with some base still there). A few months ago I stepped back into a gym after years and did 70kg bench, just about gassing out on 80kg although I was very close and potentially fatigued from the previous lifts.

I have a 12kg kettlebell in my basement and tbh it's not the biggest challenge, I just get tired if I do a lot of reps or sets but the weight is quite manageable for the most part (I'm not able to fully play with it like it's a toy, but most swings are pretty easy).

I found a very good deal for a 24kg and 32kg kettlebell for £100, only a 30min drive away from me and am considering getting, do you think it's worth the purchase or potentially dangerous?

Hi I currently use notebook for studying, mainly on android and occasionally desktop. I have a OneDrive folder of useful documents but it's abt 80 docs long, currently when trying to add it makes me have to individually select each individual document rather than select all or even select the full folder. Is there any way I can do this quicker?

I'm currently looking into a portable eink notetaker/reader and this device looks right up my alley with stylus, ability to use onenote and colour for highlighting, as well as being portable enough to put in a pouch/pocket like i currently do with my kindle.

Does anybody use it for these purposes? How is it? Does having android on eink open up a lot mor distractions? As I will be honest I do struggle with distractions a lot, possibly having ADHD. It's a lot more than just self-control that's needed, I would rather an environment change, including stifled tech if necessary.

Other device recommendations are welcomed. I also looked at Kobo libra and kindle scribe, as well as Boox tablets although they are all a bit big.

I would love an eink laptop or computer or device that can run windows. I saw some rotating lenovo which looks amazing but it doesnt look like it even exists anymore, and the eink doesnt look too responsive either.

I would personally use to read desktop work in eink and take notes via onenote on desktop via stylus

Are ereaders effective for getting kids to read?

Koho or kindle? Or any other brand?

Colour or b&w?

I have a lot of issues controlling myself when it comes to discctractions on tech, mindless scrolling etc.
E readers are great but I've only ever used kindles, are android e readers (especially colour) easy to get distracted on for someone with very little self control?

I would like to know what a good alternative for ticwatch is. I like the LCD screen alongside basic smart capabilities like step count, heart rate etc.

I was considering getting pro 5 for £15 second hand but looking through the sub even that seems like a waste

On Epstein's private island, a pink child descends from the sky with curious intent. Drawn to the location by it's negative energy, his pink skin glows under the equatorial sun. Epstein stands on the deck of his mansion, placing his trust in his wealth and private army of security guards, completely unaware of the cosmic force of nature, this avatar of evil-incarnate in front of him that is Majin Buu!

Initially Epstein attempts to negotiate with the boy in the sky, offering assets, wealth and connections to the strange entity. Buu being completely uninterested in human power dynamics or material wealth, simply tilts his head backwards and beats his chest, laughing maniacally.

As he edges closer Jeffery orders his guards to open fire, bullets bouncing off Buu's rubbery body like pebbles. Buu let's out a screech and high pitched laugh, amused by the show as he continues descending. Then he sets foot onto the island.

As Buu lands onto the private island, his ability to sense emotion and energy backfires on him. Instead of the fun, chaotic malice he usually enjoys, he senses the calculated, parasitic cruelty of Epstein and his operation. The fog of darkness chokes him.

Buu's purely evil yet childish instinct recoils. He pinches his nose, locks his eyes shut and sticks his tongue out in complete and absolute revulsion. Epstein attempts to speak but Buu waves his hands frantically to block out the sound.

Feeling utterly grossed out and refusing to even touch anything on this island, or even turn it into food, Buu steps back into the air floating backwards over the ocean before blasting off into the stratosphere at supersonic speed, desperate to wash whatever he felt off himself.

As the title says. Would like to use my phone like a mini tablet kindle with the spen

Can I apply the matte protector on top of my current one or do I need to remove? Would you recommend removing?

Hey guys, has anybody here from an orientalist or Islamic background ever studied or looked into the Islamic logical science of Mantiq?

I have a degree in Physics so decent grasp of basic logic, any good resources that intersect the two?

Assalamu alaykum I am studying Mantiq in my Alimiyyah course, already have background in physics and by extension logic.

Would like resources in either topic to help with Mantiq.

Just recently started reusing my z fold 6 after w while using a different phone and omds this is the best device ever. I would go crazy if a similarly built e ink device was made.

Anybody else?

Hi guys this is a very niche question but I wanted to ask how useful Libby is for accessing Islamic or Arabic books for anybody that has tried and used it for such a reason. Is there a good library for it and does anybody have tips?
