I need to work on my grip strength and endurance. This seemed as good a place to start as any.

But you get amazing Turkish coffee.

Welcome to the rabbit hole of Espresso Brewing. It’s fun journey.

Yes, I try everything for coffee. The rabbit hole has become like home

😁😁😁

I’ve never seen so many fans in a PC case in my life lol

I hope it serves well.

Thank you, I'm very pleased with it. It's a huge upgrade from my old case that was an old case from a Pre-Built I bought a few years ago. The airflow was terrible as it had a closed front panel. My cpu is running 7-8°c lower at idle. I have the front-side 3 and bottom 3 intake and rear one and one on top for exhaust. Not quite filling all 10 fan spaces but nearly 😄

Edit - Finally brought back upstairs. She's heavy...

Building PCs can be a rabbit hole, and since I have some parts left over from an upgrade and a spare case, I just needed these to complete another one.

I wouldn’t advise eating metal. Although it would add weight to you.

How well do these work? I always thought they were BS but it has to be useful, right?

I used some similar contraptions for years when i used to climb regularly and i'd say they certainly do help with grip strength. I found it helped more when i'd not been bouldering (the type of climbing i ended up doing most) for a few weeks. But like any kind of muscle training, it takes regular effort to see any real improvement. There's no quick fix.

Depends what you want from it though too. In the end i found regular climbing, using the exact sets of muscles over and over again, worked better than just trying to train those muscle through different exercises which may not target the exact ones in the same way. I suppose its a form of calisthenics.

Did you really knead one? Looks expensive, it must have cost a lot of dough?

Our country's understanding of money is very different. If I tell you, you will cry. If I had to give an example. Imagine your 1 month salary is $30000 or $40000.

House price: $3,000,000

A normal car: $1,000,000

PS5: $30000

And this is the dough machine I just bought, $4500.

I paid $15,000 for a Thrustmaster t128 steering wheel.

I understand what you're trying to say but it isn't entirely representative. Start with a more realistic monthly salary for westerners.

Say £1800... that's 6% of £30000
6% of 3,000,000 is £180,000 That's a rather normal price for a house in Britain (Sadly)
6% of 1,000,000 is £60,000 While expensive, That is an acceptable price for a car.

I understand that exchange rates and maybe the inflation in your country may make things more expensive but from your numbers at least, It doesn't seem that different.
