Hello

[Solver]

Glad to hear you're doing well Asher!

Hi Asher. Good to see you here.

[Dinner]

Asher came back.

Has downtown Seattle gone as far down hill as people say? It used to be nice in the 1990's and early 00's. Sadly, most of my friends there moved out and many seem to have settled into Vancouver, WA.

[Asher]

It's definitely on the sketchier side since COVID, but it's getting better again. Huge homelessness problem.

Glad to hear you're doing well Asher!

Like I've said old timers are coming like flies!

Hi, Smoker!
Where is your neighbour Saras?

Latvia still sucks at hockey despite you once had Soviet champions like Irbe)

[Serb]

I'm now in the best shape of my life

What is your record?
The best shape I ever had in my life was when I did 21 pull-ups weighting a 105 kilo.

[pchang]

Interesting that Serb is measuring upper body strength while Asher is measuring lower body strength.

[Asher]

My record is 30 unbroken pullups but I'm not sure that's a record anyone cared about.

[Serb]

30 is more than 21. So, I do care. What was your weight/age back then?
As for me it was when I was 39 year old with 105kg with my own weight.
No matter how - my respect!

Hi Asher. Glad to hear things are going well for you.

... is that FACIAL HAIR? After all the **** you used to give us about that? For shame, sir.

Anyway, I'm now a respiratory therapist instead of bouncing around between ****ty entry-level jobs. Three kids. I'm also a very small-time fantasy novelist, sort of. Yay.

[Donegeal]

Nice to hear from you Asher. Hope things are well. Apolyton has been pretty slow compared to it's heyday. It's been pretty fun for the last year though watching Serb blow up every time he's on talking about Ukraine. Stick around (or at least pop your head in every couple of days). The place will still feel like home.

That's awesome; I've a couple friends who are respiratory therapists actually...good gig.

And yeah, I reconsidered facial hair after I grew my beard out and started having to fend guys off with sticks. It definitely works for me.

The Ukraine war hits very close to me. I've been to Ukraine 5 times because I have about ~30 people who report to me there as software developers. I've known and worked with some of them for 8 years now; I've met their wives and kids.

A couple of my senior guys there were reservists and have been mobilized; because they have graduate degrees in math and management experience and are extremely fluent in English, they've been picked to head some "modern western anti-aircraft" weaponry and are off in Europe for training right now; about to be deployed. It's really scary ****.

These people are badasses, though. They didn't want to take any time off or let the war affect what they do. They bought generators to work through the constant power outages; we've sent them lots of Starlink terminals to have reliable internet; they literally attend morning standups frequently with air raid sirens still blaring in the background. These are hardy, good people and it devastates me to see their land and people raped and pillaged in the name of a tyrannical megalomaniac dictator.

By the way...the team building exercises they like to do? Live-fire Kalashnikov practice, zip-lining, and paintball. I'm not surprised at their fighting capability.

[Dinner]

Nice to see you kept your finger off the trigger even when it was not loaded. That is a good habit.

[The Mad Monk]

Hi!

I believe I moved to Kansas when you were still here years ago. I now live in a small white cape cod on nine acres.

I'm retired and I spend my time reading, gaming, and working on / in my garden.

Holy ****, people
