  • I did get sucked in. I bought a few Filcos (I live in Japan so JIS layout is a must) and recently got the new Keychron K8 Pro JIS for home. It’s MUCH nicer all around than the Filcos.

    As for headphones, I have a few nice sets, but state of Chinese IEMs these days is SO GOOD that $20-30 can get you some REALLY good sound. I still get a new pair every now and then just to sample new flavours, but I’m finished spending big money on amps and stuff.








  • I also used to run a LOT and now can’t anymore cause of injury. Tried swimming but it wasn’t enough to keep me in shape due to my age and…indulgent lifestyle.

    Going to the gym became my only option and yeah, the results were almost instantaneous. I lost quite a few kilos, felt more energised, and my outward appearance improved.

    I think when you consider the positives it makes a lot of sense…

    • You feel good for challenging yourself, and even better when you succeed.
    • You feel good full stop because exercise gives your endorphins.
    • You feel good for sticking to a routine. This has the added benefit of demanding that you are more organised generally, in order to make time for workouts.
    • You feel good because you start to look better.
    • You feel good because it helps to relieve day-to-day stress that builds up.

    I’m not aiming to get huge or anything. But I think the benefits should be pretty obvious. I enjoy going for the reasons I just listed and cause I can listen to music on my headphones and kind of zone out.
