Climbing! I've never been fond of weightlifting, but lifting myself up on the wall is way more fun! It's incredibly physical, and there's an equally important mental problem solving aspect to it. Most cities have a climbing gym these days and it's a lot more approachable than most people think. Bouldering especially only needs shoes and maybe a chalk bag. Just short but hard climbs that are usually only a few challenging moves. No ropes or harnesses, just big squishy mats to land on. It can also be pretty social with most gyms having a good community, and if you really take to it there's always room to grow into actual outdoor rock climbing.

Biking for commuting and errands is great as others have mentioned.

Running too. Just needs shoes and some comfy clothes. Even starting at a one km run doesn't seem like much, but you'll be surprised how much further you can go if you stick with it.

Am Canadian, it's definitely a thing here. At least in BC it is.

Nelson? Revelstoke? Golden? Or proper little like New Denver or Kaslo or something? Considering that change for myself after having already gone from Toronto to Okanagan. Keep finding myself drawn to those kinds of places.

Edit: Previous comment said Canadian, just assumed you were Canadian! Sorry.

Great car. Mine is a 2021. Do lots of adventure things and need vaguely off-road capable vehicle, grew up driving stick and have only ever driven standard, it was basically the only option. Sad they don't offer out on manual anymore.

I know the electric kettle might be a bit faster depending on your appliance, but a decent stovetop gooseneck kettle for pour overs did wonders for my coffee game. Better coffee, won't ever break, cheaper than all but the worst electric kettles.

Get a nice little scale and you'll be set for life.

Right? That's what I'd set my AC to. It's a balmy 18 in my place now and -4 outside. Problem the lack of daylight leasing to the depression. Pop some vitamin d and put a sweater on. Cozy warm clothes are the best clothes.

Oh parts of Canada are doing their best in that department as well.

That's the one!

Doubtful it's the longest I have looked for something, but going on a month or so trying to find my baking sheet. I just want to roast some veggies damn it. How do you lose a baking sheet!?

Wasn't it something to do with trucks are work vehicles so emissions restrictions didn't apply to the same extent, so they basically pushed trucks hard and made everything truck sized to skirt around it? That has the effect of turning into a lifestyle product. Guarantee my little Subaru sees more off-road than most jacked up trucks.

Actually I'd argue Subaru is more of a lifestyle brand, selling the idea that you for sure need that extra clearance and all wheel drive, just in case you decide to rock crawl your way up to a camping spot after Costco. I love mine, and actually use it, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to what they're pushing.

Job's done!

Strong disagree about the 4k thing. Finally upgraded my aging 13 year old panels for a fancy new Asus 4k 27"and yeah it's dramatically better. Especially doing either architectural or photographic work on it. Smaller screens you've got a point though. 4k on a 5" phone seems excessive.
