And at least in some distributions, they do exactly that, a number of aliases for the same interface. And you can add your own.

Nice… Wait a minute…

It’s a matter of scale, that physical activity moves energy usage maybe 10 to 15 % during the exercise compared to sitting still. However, there’s a lot of reasons to exercise for the sake of your pancreas and heart.

Besides, 84% of weight lost is by breathing it out, so not technically the bathroom.

While true, exercise is very important. For example if you are sedentary then that visceral fat screwing up your pancreas is extra risky because you also build up insulin resistance.

Even if they don’t lose that much weight, it at least mitigates some of the risks increased by being overweight.

the stuff you’re asking for doesn’t work that well, but this does

I didn’t think that this works. The examples where people claim “is just like this” I don’t see as being like this.

The ones that work are ones that have some relation to their cause. Forcing everyone to really think about an issue Inherent to the act. For example, going about and doing this to parked private jets, which they did.

Just doing anything to get attention isn’t useful if there’s no Inherent message in the act itself. Especially with climate where everyone already has awareness, just not action.

Being merely loud is not going to sway hearts and minds in your favor.

Also there’s no way it would toss “origin: ru” in there and only that. It’s way too convenient to have those three pieces of data and only those.

I think it was a joke and a lot of people ate the onion.

That’s been my experience so far, that it’s largely useless for knowledge based stuff.

In programming, you can have it take “pseducode” and have it output actionable code for more tedious languages, but you have to audit it. Ultimately I find traditional autocompletion just as useful.

I definitely see how it helps cheat on homework, and extends “stock photography” to the point of really limiting the market for me photography or artists for bland business assets though.

I see how people find it useful for their “professional” communications, but I hate it because people that used to be nice and to the point are staying to explode their communication into a big LLM mess.

It’s interesting, when you ask a LLM something that it doesn’t know, it will tend to just spew out words that sound like they make sense, but are wrong.

So it’s much more useful to have a human that will admit that they don’t have a response for it. Or the human acts like the LLM spewing stupid stuff that sounds right and gets promoted instead.

So much the better, as far as those executives are concerned.

Let’s say you want to cut costs and you know you have momentum and a long lag where your total incompetence won’t make a difference to business results in the short term, so cut costs by getting rid of the top talent.

Now if they outright just fire every good person, well that looks obviously stupid, but if those good people just… up and quit… well they are hardly to blame, and don’t have to pay out those massive severances. You get your annual bonus which is big, and your big restricted stock payday might be delayed two years, but they know, realistically, they can probably coast a good 3 or 4 years before the game is up. Or if you have a supremely strong ‘business brand’, you might be able to coast indefinitely as the big shots will never believe that brand isn’t good anymore.

We have a young person here on student visa and he’s struggling to get a more persistent arrangement and thinks he may have to move back next year when his visa is done. He’s hoping for an h1b, but that’s a lottery… If there’s something he’s missing, it’d be good to know.

Agreed, WW2 scale became crazy because Japan and Germany were just allowed to conquer so much so fast before a meaningful response. Russia is being held to a much tighter theater from the onset.

I have found my headset useful for work, when working from home and I don’t do camera on meetings anyway.

At home it’s pretty nice, and since my ears are open I can actually talk, so my wife actually prefers it over me wearing headphones. But all things in moderation, I wouldn’t wear it constantly.

Despite being a huge fan of the concept, I still couldn’t go for Apple’s headset, it’s heavy, it’s expensive, and lack of controllers are all deal breakers. The Quest 3 is lighter, has good controllers, and is more affordable. It may not have the displays as nice as Vision, but that doesn’t make up for the rest of the stuff.

My family has Starlink, they live in mountainous rural. Cell towers aren’t too far away, but mountains get in the way of decent signal. No one is running any cables their way, despite a local telco taking money explicitly for providing internet service.

Guess the new part is he pinky swears they can keep the Western half of Ukraine. As long as they don’t form alliances and agree to weaken the military protecting the Western half…

A lot of the ‘big establishment’ companies will imediately sue when they lose a contract.

A few years back, the JEDI acquisition triggered Oracle and IBM:

I imagine it must suck to be involved in a big government procurement, because you are pretty much guaranteed to have to get pulled into legal proceedings by one or more of the losers.

I can tell you every factory preload of windows on a Lenovo I have seen for the past few years has disk encryption on by default (windows home, so not “bitlocker”, but it’s the same thing with respect to being tied to TPM.

Strong is not mutually exclusive with fat.

I have a friend who made ability to lift heavy stuff basically his whole identity. Correlated with that was at any gathering he made a big show of eating just way more than everyone else because he’s a “big guy” and his muscles demand that much. So long as he could lift, obviously he must be fit, he works out after all. Basically his concept of masculinity is lift the heaviest stuff and eat the most stuff.

Now he’s struggling with diabetes and liver problems, despite being crazy strong. Never did cardio, and ate way more than he needed.

Yes, BMI can be misleading and being a bit muscular can have a higher BMI and be healthier than BMI says, but odds are if you are up in the obese territory, you probably are packing a lot of visceral fat screwing up your gut.

I’m 6’0 245lbs - not obese mind you…

Technically obese. You’d have to lose 25 lbs to not be obese.

Of course Obesity is defined by BMI, and BMI is probably not as good as BRI and you might be closer to healthy by waist circumference. However your weight is probably not as healthy as you might think it is.

Ah, and so Air Bud’s VP prospects have been sadly dashed.

Considering the proposal is only about LA county, figure I’d use that, but we can consider things either way.

I would expect that whatever means had the retiree have both a home and at least another property left them with other typical sources of passive income. So in aggregate, I would expect social security, with retirement savings, plus the value of the house produces an overall viable income.

Whether the mortgage is paid off or not is immaterial unless they are somehow “upside down” on it. If the mortgage is not paid off, then selling it also removes the mortgage payment.

But let’s say that it is unreasonable to sell, maybe somehow the person has all of their money tied up in the property and can’t sell the property for an amount to get enough passive income. This measure would not force her to sell, it simply caps her rental income increase to 3% a year. Her property value may go up, but that doesn’t make her mortgage go up (if she even has one). County assessments would make her tax bill increase some, though generally a pittance. Even if you are concerned about the tax bill, you could have some clause that assessments or property tax for people with rental properties is similarly capped if the owner is subject to a rental income cap. In most contexts, the ability to guarantee oneself a 3% a year raise would be pretty respectable.
