In France in conforama stores salesman use a ascii terminal GUI connected to AIX shells. Fast as hell to take your order. I’m always amazed at how marketing BS lead us to vastly sub optimal solution.
You get the vi bindings and modal behaviour which I find better _plus_ all emacs functions and most of the emacs bindings. I’m often mixing the 2 modes while editing.
What helps me doing something I don’t like on a daily basis (pull up for example) is thinking : I don’t have the choice. That way I consume much less willpower
I always use it in pipelines to extract columns. I often use it for summations of numbers. Sometimes for more complex tasks. Get the job done.
Agreed. But you can have sexual fantasies and still be friend, no ?
That’s my point. Regarding people that maintain the same weight, I highly doubt they eat on average the _exact_ amount needed. There must be physiological adjustments that are broken in some people.
CICO while thermodynamically true, is not _that_ useful because no one really control CI nor CO …
How do one manage to eat exactly the amount of calories one consumes ? Based on the calories in/out weight gain theory a little error of 50 calories/day would lead to 50*365=18250 extra calories/year ie 18250/9000=~2kg…
There is a similar idea in the book "atomic habits" by James clear : focus on process not outcome. that’s one of the best advice I ever read.
No worries, I have my helmet ;-)
Next : mandatory helmet for pedestrians. You never know, it could save your life. It’s not the end of the world to wear one.
Seems there are some words seen as high level that a French would immediately recognise whereas the relaxed counterpart make no sense for him. Example : "facilitate". I’m French, this word sounds like horrible…
Hi, I’m obese and struggling for 25 years. What I mean is life long normal weight people don’t do any effort. An obese who tries to loose or maintain weight make great efforts and is doomed to fail because no one can…
The complexity is not in the math. The complexity is how normal people eat _just the right amount_ of calories to maintain the same weight.
Problem is people want it all : health _and_ do whatever comes to my mind. Sometime reality is stronger than will. My advice : do not focus on a weight but on eating normally. If you can stop _gaining_ weight it’s the…
"I will be a health(ier) weight, if I continue to put the effort in. And who knows?" Fit and normal people don’t put any effort. As long as you’ll see this as an effort/reward thing you will fail. My advice : focus on…
I wonder when this madness will end.
There’s no death and severity for healthy young people. Only mild symptoms.
Comparing polio and Covid is ridiculous
Yeah, sure. Like the song says : "do what I say, don’t do wha t I do" :-)
Idk, maybe ask this to Japaneses or Panamanians.
It is true for vaccine that have been long tested and are really effective for certain set of _serious_ diseases. It’s not true for Covid were those vaccines are new, not effective (because no vaccine is effective for…
I don’t recall of any teacher dying from covid …
I can see the reason the tobacco industry would lie about the effect of tobacco. What would be the reason an expert would show bad faith going against the narrative we saw for Covid ? (Vaccine are effective, masks are…
ho yeah and we saw how effective the measures were, every person I know has got Covid !
