During COVID I switched from a sit-stand-walk around type job to WFH sitting for the full 8+ hours. I found myself spiraling into some real hip and lower back pain until I invested in some new home office furniture to enable more standing and moving around.

Cheapo walking treadmill was the best $125 Bezos bucks I spent during lockdown.

New medicine down the road of ozempic and other hormone mimics/manipulators. I think we’re going to see a step change increase in how much control people can exert over their bodies when genetics and environment are a challenge.

Never conceived… that makes me Jesus? So either tap into that sweet church money or get crucified.

Yes, especially during newbie gains phase, but not optimally and it will get progressively more difficult as goals become counterproductive to each other. E.g., you will rarely find intermediate+ folks attempting to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. Calorie restriction for fat loss will also impede muscle growth.

Your lack of specificity indicates you have no clear goal and no defined plan. Your progress matches that: newbie gains that will hit a ceiling shortly. That’s fine, newbie gains are awesome. While enjoying those, research so you can start taking your training from “well-intentioned newbie” to “beginner”.

Getting stronger, having larger muscles, losing fat, and developing boxing-specific skills are all separate goals.

Pick a goal. Find a plan from a reputable source that is designed for that goal. Follow the plan. Make sure the plan isn’t just working out, but diet and nutrition to support it too.

When it was a younger sibling getting the beatings. When it was targeted a me, I always justified it thinking I must have done something to deserve it. But watching the attention turn to the younger, I realized there was nothing us kids could do to be “good enough”.

You don’t get points for hobbying the hardest. IMO, you might benefit from focusing on enjoying a hobby and stop making it about efficiency.

“Feeling guilty” about not being the best at a hobby is a bit of a “please consider therapy” flag.

I use Podcast Addict too. Found it well over six years ago and never bothered to look for another.

No.

Some of them do. See: Elon Musk

Some of them don’t. See: Albert Einstein, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Dickinson, Bobby Fischer, Bill Gates, Lionel Messi

Canada was watching, pulled a 180 and didn’t elect their own Trump Wannabee.

I’m curious if you can articulate the difference between being critical of how a particular technology is owned and managed versus being a Luddite?

Is environmental impact on the top of anyones list for why they don’t like ChatGPT? It’s not on mine nor on anyones I have talked to.

The two most common reasons I hear are 1) no trust in the companies hosting the tools to protect consumers and 2) rampant theft of IP to train LLM models.

The author moves away from strict environmental focus despite claims to the contrary in their intro,

This post is not about the broader climate impacts of AI beyond chatbots, or about whether AI is bad for other reasons

[…]

Other Objections, This is all a gimmick anyway. Why not just use Google? ChatGPT doesn’t give better information

… yet doesn’t address the most common criticisms.

Worse, the author accuses anyone who pauses to think of the negatives of ChatGPT of being absurdly illogical.

Being around a lot of adults freaking out over 3 Wh feels like I’m in a dream reality. It has the logic of a bad dream. Everyone is suddenly fixating on this absurd concept or rule that you can’t get a grasp of, and scolding you for not seeing the same thing. Posting long blog posts is my attempt to get out of the weird dream reality this discourse has created.

IDK what logical fallacy this is but claiming people are “freaking out over 3Wh” is very disingenuous.

Rating as basic content: 2/10, poor and disingenuous argument

Rating as example of AI writing: 5/10, I’ve certainly seen worse AI slop

Jammy soy eggs

Extra dehydrated veggies

Dollop of gochujong or some other hot sauce

Sprinkling if sesame seeds or crunches up nori

I’ll wait to hear the opinions of James Corden, Ellen DeGeneres, Shia Labouf, JK Rowling, and Will Smith before selecting a new OS, thanks.

I’m not holding my breath. We have a Z that insists no one in her generation wants to put up with the 24/7 availability expected from those who want to advance in our industry. Yet I received emails from her over the weekend.

They’re human, same as the rest of us, and will justify all the bad labor hygiene that older generations have.

We’ll see if they stay up or if it was a minor swing due to, I don’t know, short term short supply. I was reading they are an interesting bellweather because of their very short shelf-life and west-to-east shipping path.

They’re one of my favorite lunches while hiking. Good fats. Easy. No refrigeration needed.

I wish. They must pay well given the number of content creators that advertise for them.

You read multiple sources and look for the facts, not declarations of victory or failure.

Like how Milei is, by his own statements, anti-union, anti-LGBT, anti-pension, anti-abortion, anti-vaxx, pro-military/intelligence industry, pro-genocide in Palestine, and pro-unregulated crypto. All of which I don’t like personally; I’m not an anarchocapitalist. I don’t really care if one financial metric goes up or down that some will hail as “success” if the lives of so many are made significantly worse in the exchange.

They doubled over the last ~week at my grocery store. Typically 88 cents to $1, today $1.99.
