  • 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.

  • 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.

  • "May you have the day you voted for."

  • Not shortages yet, but steep price increases.

    I have dropped some items from my normal grocery list because of ramping prices. Eggs and avocados were first, but it's expanding to other things now.

    I have some hobby projects I want to do that would require buying new hardware; those prices are going up so that is on hold until further notice.

    I work from home 95% of the time and do much of my evening/weekend socializing and hobbies within walking distance of my home, so I could drop my driving and fuel consumption very low.

    I bought a $30 renter-friendly bidet kit so I am way less exposed to another toilet paper shortage.

    I was going to buy a new car, probably a RAV4 internal hybrid, within the next 1-2 years but that is completely up in the air now. My current car is functional, just old, and I would continue driving it rather than swap to an inferior and dangerous American car like Tesla.

    Buy less, budget conscientiously, wait to see what happens. Exactly what Trump doesn't want but which anyone with half a brain cell knew would happen.

  • Meta displayed a chart showing that the “percent of time spent viewing content posted by ‘friends’ ” has declined in the past two years, from twenty-two per cent to seventeen per cent on Facebook, and from eleven per cent to seven per cent on Instagram.

    Yeah. By their design. If they would allow user control over what shows up in their feed, mine would prioritize friends' content. I'm not the one choosing to turn my feed jnto AI slop based on my alleged interest in the topic.

  • acknowledges the term was made to troll LGBT people

    Why can't we have a good faith conversation on this?

    K, sure.

  • Knot tying. Most half-hitches tied in 60 seconds or fastest time to tie all six of the "scout knots".

    I assume 99% don't know them and I am reasonably quick at them, I could hold the record for at least a day or two.
