Kubernetes is the way. After earning the CKA last year and leveling up in DevOps in '21, I've earned my CKAD. Two pieces of the tri-force down, one to go. Same thanks applies as http://㧏孢.xsl.pt; have had great support from @CloudNativeFdn community and @QSRAutomations.

Anyone that is up in arms or cancelling their subscription because of the last episode can "suck my fat one"; the finale wasn't a revolution but it was cathartic, avoided major pitfalls and was exceptional in denouement. I think it's what it needed to be. #StrangerThings
I’ll try to make this as crystal clear as possible, because much of the strength and conditioning field still views resistance training through a very narrow lens—a weight room filled with barbells and dumbbells.
I’ve read the research. I’ve seen the papers. Resistance training for pre-adolescent children consistently shows positive outcomes across the board. That part isn’t controversial anymore.
Where the confusion lies is what actually counts as resistance training for kids.
In our industry, “resistance training” has become almost synonymous with external load. And to be clear—external loading through dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, bands, and medicine balls is absolutely safe and beneficial when properly coached.
But resistance training does not begin and end there.
Sprinting, jumping, grappling, tackling and blocking, climbing, crawling, carrying, throwing, parkour, gymnastics, and Ninja-style activities are all legitimate, highly effective forms of resistance training. These activities challenge force production, absorption, coordination, and control—often at levels far more complex than a single-plane lift.
More importantly, they’re fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. They expose kids to resistance through their own body weight, gravity, momentum, and interaction with the environment—across multiple planes of motion and constantly changing contexts.
If the goal is to build strong, resilient, adaptable athletes, then resistance training for children must be viewed as a movement experience, not just a loading strategy.
@BWWings about one of every three times I try to use your app, I can't actually checkout after hitting the button from my cart - just see a loading screen endlessly. I want to give you money and buy wings but when this happens I just get @SUBWAY instead.
