Look up the YouTube series on that very topic from Renaissance Periodization. It helped me loss 30 pounds and keep them off for more than 6 months now.

Extreme low calorie diet are not sustainable for long, especially if you are starting out.

First thing first, count your calories for a week or two to get the baseline calorie consumption for your current weight. Try to not change your normal food consumption while taking your first baseline calories because it will make the first weight loss cycle more difficult than it needs to be.

Then, start by removing 250 calories from your diet and burn 250 calories every day for 6 to 9 weeks.

Then, go into maintenance where you slowly add a bit more food and stabilize your weight. If you see that you are gaining weight during the maintenance, just cut back a little bit and keep that calorie intake as your maintenance intake. That will become your calorie baseline for the next cycle.

Repeat until your goals are met. Don't hesitate to take a longer maintenance break if you feel like it.

That will give you a sustainable way to lose weight and you will also learn to count calories without weighing everything you eat.

If you can easily cut 250 calories without any problem, try to cut more calories the next cycle, and see how it goes. If it's too hard, then go back to 250/250 calories cut.

As for the food, I don't know where you live, but nutritional yeast is a cheap way to add protein to any meals and add a cheesy flavor to the meal.

As for fat, cheap nuts or neutral oil can help meet your needs.

And for carbs, seasonal fruits and vegetables are usually cheaper, so go with that.

The only thing you should take from this post is that slow and steady is the name of the game. You are fighting millions of years of evolution, so it won't be easy.

TLDR: slow and steady. Cut 250 cal from your diet and burn 250 calories from activity for 6-9 weeks. Maintain for the same amount of time. Repeat.

I could technically disapprove of something and still want it to be legalized, but you normally approve what you want to legalize.

But to be clear, I approve of sex workers because to me, it is a job like any other. But since we built society on puritan values, they get a bad reputation and a terrible work situation.

I know, but we have at least some writings to prove that it happened back then. But sex workers probably exist since the dawn of humanity in a form or another.

Absolutely because then we can start talking about protecting and helping the sex workers that need help, and give them a chance to work in a safe environment.

Sex worker have been a thing since at least when we invented writings and still going strong today.

Might be time to give sex workers the dignity and respect they deserve.

I will try out Debian, which uses Wayland by default. So hopefully I will get what I need for my DE.

Otherwise, if nothing works for me, I always go back to Ubuntu if I really don't like Debian.

Thanks for the insight, it is really useful. I'll spin up Debian on my work laptop for sure and I'll see how it feels to decide for my personal PC.

NVIDIA didn't ask to shut it down, but AMD lawyer probably weren't that hot to what the project had become and AMD asked the creator to shut down the project l, which he did.

But yeah, lots of work wasted caused by pencil pushers and bean counters.

I am thinking of going Debian as well since I like Ubuntu on my work laptop.

I would like to use the same OS for both PC since I am not a power user yet, but I am tempted by endeavourOS to dip my toes into arch linux.

I don't want to have too big of a productivity loss at work (don't care at home), so I am thinking to switch to Debian for work, and EndeavourOS on my personal PC to gain experience with it. If I like endeavourOS a lot, then I can switch my work laptop to it as well.

Isn't it how most Linux users progress?

When hardware meet firmware, especially as complex as a GPU, there will always be unpredictable bugs.

Mix that with every company that uses your driver differently, and computer hardware variation, you can't cover all edge cases.

AMD asked them to shut it down. So the guy is going to go back to the pre-AMD release and work independently from there.

I use Ubuntu for work and it serves its purpose really well.

It was the first time I really ditched windows and learnt how to use Linux.I have Kubuntu on my personal PC and it feels klunky to me.

So I am not sure why is that, since it uses the same base.

My only issue right now is that I need to split the apps I use between dpkg, apt or snaps and it sucks when I need to uninstall something.

So once my project is done at work, I will try another distro.

Inbetween. Each state has a number of voters for the electoral college, but it is not proportional to the population of the state. A less populous state vote is worth more than a populous state generally.

That is why Trump became president while losing the popular vote in 2016, and swing states are so important.

Because the US has a fucked up system where a small state vote is worth more than a vote from a populous state.

It should be a simple popular vote and that's it. Kill the electoral college and hopefully the Overton window will go left when no Republican president is elected for a few cycles.

Kill Chrome/Chromium and Firefox by proxy. Revert back to pure html websites, live a free life.

Weston family, so a fuckton of chains across Canada. But their main chain is Sobey's

I'm not a game dev, so I am asking naively this: why is networking code for games not standardized?

It's crazy to me that so many companies develop their own netcode instead of pooling resources to create a library once and for all for netcode.

It is a non-trivial thing to develop, so everyone would gain from having a framework and library ready to use that works well and can be implemented into any game.

In the end, the information exchange is done between the client and the server and the application layer can have any packets it needs.

There are a few simples principles that would make traffic a lot better, and yielding the left lane for faster cars is one of them.

The other simple one is if you are not passing another car, stay on the right.

Yeah because the seller just resell you the Temu/AliExpress junk with a markedup price.

And some of them even just dropship stuff.

I am close to that point right now, and listing all the irritating things in my life that I could think of made my stress about the whole situation a lot better.

Putting names on things helps a lot.
