    Use it or lose it people. I’m over 40 and I’m quite fit and healthy. Do lots of walking, running, rock climbing, golf, and enjoying nature.

    I’m in better health than my younger friends simply because I’m more active. See dudes in their 70’s climbing harder than me still and in great shape. You’ve just got to keep moving.



  • Thanks dude.

    I am incredibly fortunate that my boss is a Saint and we literally put ourselves first and the work second. It’s a small company and we are not expected to think about work outside of work and they’ve shown time and time again with their actions that they are good people.

    I just don’t have that kind of drive for coding now outside of work as work satiates that desire, which means out of work I can focus on mental health which for me comes from being outside or doing something.

    I will say the past isn’t amazing as I’m quite new but has two raises and a reduction in hours in less than 2 years.




  • You’re right I could be helping out I mom the open source side, but I really struggle to even turn on my Pc when not working (mental health) so don’t feel I am the best person to contribute.

    This is why my focus has been on getting friends and family to stop spending money on streaming services as every little helps.

    You’re correct in that the only thing that matters to me is that people I care about save money. That’s it. I’m in awe of people doing more than me, but we can only do what we feel we are able. Together it all makes a difference.




  • Absolutely, happy that people are curious as it can be quite rare if not from Northern Europe.

    Here is a link to the NHS site giving more information about Dupytren’s Contracture.

    Basically, extra tissue forms around your palmer fascia and causes it to thicken overtime and limits the range of motion for a given joint.

    This is my second Fasciectomy, the first was around 15 years ago to release my ring finger on my left hand as it was flexed at around 65 degrees. This was a success and still have full movement over a decade later.

    This latest one fascinated the surgeons as it’s incredibly rare to hit the pinky on the most distal joint. This joint was bent inwards at 95-100 degrees and was a real hindrance to falling when rock climbing as it would catch on a hold and could do severe damage.

    Finally, on my right hand I have been able to feel a lump forming for about 8 years, but it’s a very slow process and so maybe another 10-15 years before noticeable loss of range of motion.

    It originated in Viking country and this is most prevalent in Northern Europeans. And is passed down hereditary from my bio father.
