Usually when I go to judo, I have some nifty combo in mind, and never actually make it happen in randori.
So today, instead of being that specific, I decided to drop defense and go for forward throws even if they weren't set up perfectly, and I was at risk of getting countered. And I did get countered.
It did feel like I was making progress that way, though. At the least I got more entry practice for uchimata and seoinage.
Endurance-wise, I got in my three rounds. Two of them were consecutive. And I was really tired during the last two, but I wasn't dying and was able to try stuff. Progress!
Someone suggested circuit training to me, which I used to do back in the day. He pointed out you don't need to be really hardcore about it; you just need to do some sets of exercises with no breaks. I think I might try it again, at small scale, like 10-15 minute circuits.
There was some "locker room talk" again — this time it was about how AI sucks and VC is stupid. It's weird how many software engineers feel this way, yet so many of them just have to work for VC controlled companies. The French Revolution started because the third estate (non-nobles, non-clergy) noticed they were doing all of the work, got very little of the wealth, and had no say about what their labor was for. One big difference between then and now is that it was clear that nobles didn't earn their money, whereas now there is this idea that billionaires did.
