    Yeah it’s a practical option for people who want to exercise on the regular, I call it ‘terrible value’ because you can exercise for free without machines/access to weights if you really want to save some money - body weight exercises, public parks etc.

    I enjoy a paid gym membership myself, it saves me a ton of time. I just wouldn’t recommend the same to one strapped for cash, ‘good’ gym memberships aren’t cheap where I am (I pay a hundred SGD a month). I should have been more specific.

    Outside of temperature control as others have mentioned, there’s also a greater sense of security while exercising, showers available, and seeing others train can motivate you if you’re the competitive or visual sort. Plus treadmills are less impactful to your knees compared to trail runs so they are good for recovery/casual runners.

    In all honesty, gym memberships are terrible value for money by itself. Its value comes from convenience and saving time for a person who wants to train with some consistency.

    Note: this DOES NOT convert the file (obviously) although it will force it to be ‘usable’ in certain cases. If you bring the same file to a program that cannot work with webp format (ex. Da Vinci Resolve), it will crash or not show. To non-creators this is not an issue, but for creators: have fun figuring out which images you’ve saved are actually webp and won’t work later on.

    I know webp has become much less annoying after windows finally added webp support to photos after w11, so ‘advice’ like this tends to work more often than not. Just use a browser extension and convert it properly if you intend to spread an image…
