You’re assuming he actually knows what he’s doing … he probably doesn’t even know where he is
I’m joking but getting old and being old sucks … I’m on my way there and all I can see and all I ever heard about it from my elderly friends is that it is a world of constant pain, aches and frustrations … your memory goes, you can’t remember basic things (but you can remember a phone number from 1988), your joints ache all the time, your muscles ache all the time, your back is pain, you have a hard time walking, you have a hard time sitting, you have a hard time lying down, you have a hard time standing, you can’t hear well, you have weird things happen with your vision, you can’t hold, grasp or handle things like you used to
I’m not there yet but after having just reached 50, I’m starting to feel everything … and feel everything all the time … even typing this I’m reminded of a constant dull pain with my arthritic pinky finger.
And age also assumes that you’ll be able to keep a healthy functioning mind. I can tell my memory is slowly evaporating with age.
I’m turning 54 this year and yeah, everything is harder and takes more time.
This is why, without effort, your mind and body start getting older much quicker than you want them to.
You have to keep your mind and body occupied with tasks, other than the daily routine.
15 minutes of daily workout do miracles. A body without motion starts degrading at a steady pace. Also, “it’s never too late” doesn’t apply here. There will be a time, when it’s just too late and your body can’t hold up to any exercise and start building on it.
I’m not talking about lifting or building muscle. It’s about keeping the body in motion, daily.
I’m the laziest person and started doing my band exercises at 49 years and my only regret is not having started much much younger.
From 30 on my life consisted of developing websites, mostly work at home and after separating from my ex wife, unhinged on the bad eating habits…
During the pandemic, idk why, i got the urge to buy some bands and start stretching those bands until i could get to the next resistance level.
Orange = easiest / Black = hardest
You get red, green and blue in between.
This is all i needed as a motivator for my lonesome exercises lol.
Seriously, find your thing and move that body
Don’t wait until tomorrow, stop giving a fuck today!
Wouldn’t that require entering payment details?
So either the doctor’s lounge has set up payment for their lounge (why?) or this dude drew out his wallet and paid for it himself?
Not on my system. Unless you setup a pin, you can just click rent or buy and it goes on your next bill.
Cable TV on a waiting room TV
wouldshould 100% be pin protected.I think you mean should.
Never underestimate the laziness of whoever has to set that up.
Next what bill? TV bill? Internet bill? Phone bill?
We fund our TV with taxes here in the Nordics, although I haven’t watched any for like 15-20 years almost. (I dp consume a ton of BBC content though, and would happily have my media tax go toward that instead, like a tv-licence essentially.) It would just come out of the wall and I don’t think it required even a phone connection on the property, though I don’t remember ever being in a house which didn’t have a phone connection (even one that was there physically but no bills paid and so not on) so I may be mistaken.
I think if you wanted extra channels, you’d purchase them from the company selling them and they’d unlock them at your address. Otherwise it was just like a jumble or negatives. Used to watch cartoon network on cable as a negative sometimes. We don’t have pay-per-view channels, so I guess just that sort of infrastructure is missing from the TV’s and remotes and the US has had it for a long time. I remember references to pay-per-view since the 90’s but never thought how it’s paid for.
The meme used the term “on demand” so I would presume cable bill, probably specifically Comcast/Xfinity.
“On Demand” is what they call being able to stream a movie or show without it having to air “live” on a normal broadcast. If you buy/rent something on Xfinity, it just gets added to your bill with no security unless you’ve gone out of your way to set parental locks.
