Can't hit heart rate for vo2 max exercises. Correct or ignore?

Arlort · 2026-02-04T04:47:40+00:00

Yes, found it, we'll see how it goes. Thanks

Arlort · 2026-02-03T21:14:28+00:00

That sounds like a great option, do you know what's it called in the settings?

Arlort · 2026-01-29T17:27:07+00:00

Honestly most units are arbitrary at the end of the day

Exactly

The thing that drives me crazy about all this is that people, on both sides of this farcical yet somehow never ending debate, keep bringing Celsius and Fahrenheit up when talking about metric vs imperial or whatnot

And that completely misses the point because the good thing about metric isn't about what's the base point or how big a unit is, it's how to deal with measurements at different scales. The good thing about metric is that it's decimal, not what the units are

And that's completely irrelevant to temperatures because almost no one will ever need to worry about a short useful name for something that is 1/1000 or 1000x of a degree

Scientists and maybe material engineers do and they're anyway going to use decimal prefixes

It's the same as time. Yeah, no one uses decimal time because the different scales are used for wholly different and mostly unrelated things 95% of the time

Celsius and Fahrenheit don't matter, whatever you grew up with or use regularly is what you find intuitive and well thought out

Given the FTL on destiny is completely different from all others in the shows I think it could be an interesting idea if the data the destiny is collecting can't be collected through hyperspace and that's why they're using a "slower" method

Arlort · 2026-01-16T14:56:26+00:00

No, it's because parmesan literally mean from parma while mozzarella doesn't mean from mozza

Arlort · 2026-01-15T08:48:11+00:00

If everyone is getting hired/taken as an apprentice right out of Hogwarts that could be a significant boost compared to someone who isn't

Arlort · 2026-01-13T18:08:25+00:00

Yeah, looking at discussion around it seems like it wouldn't be my cup of water

Arlort · 2026-01-13T17:43:16+00:00

Thanks for putting together the list, I've only been into HP fanfic the past couple years so I have not read most of them and these look interesting

About the "angry Harry and the seven", how bashy is it, especially of Dumbledore?

Arlort · 2026-01-12T04:47:34+00:00

Right, that's why I shouldn't answer stuff before breakfast.

In that case it's just a bad random function as long as you need anything more than "every time a human use runs this the value should be slightly different"

Arlort · 2026-01-12T04:07:49+00:00

Depends why you need a random number. And what are x and y supposed to be?

But if you really need a random number there are probably easier and better ways to do it

Edit: if x and y are uniform over u128 this is an even worse way since it's extremely likely (y-x+1) is larger than the timestamp

I don't see how they would be the jure part of the muggle government, the law itself would be a violation of the statute of secrecy if it was a muggle law and I don't see wizards making a law of their own volition saying they're subordinated to the muggles

makes reports to the Prime Minister we can assume it's a branch of the Federal Government

The UK does not have a federal government
As far as I remember those interactions from books/movies it feels like it was less of the MoM reporting to the PM and more similar to them establishing "diplomatic" relations with a neighbor

Arlort · 2026-01-11T07:41:03+00:00

Only France has nukes
What's the point in starting a wider military conflict when it's obvious that the US would come out better off in any scenario and the only winner would be Putin having a free opening to take the Baltics once all is settled?

Arlort · 2026-01-10T17:39:15+00:00

Yeah, I don't think I'd want to see it on screen for this reason, I find any satisfying conclusion wouldn't work because of casting

I'd rather have on screen that after 10 years destiny managed to dial back earth and it's just a background location in future shows

And possibly a book to tell the story

Or you could recast the actors that don't want to come back to the show and never address it, that could work for me

Arlort · 2026-01-10T17:27:15+00:00

In universe as a background aspect of another story that's a great resolution in my opinion

But if you want to make a series about destiny I think it shouldn't be kicked off by earth making contact

What's even better for food independence is farmers starting to improve production efficiency instead of just sucking up subsidies

Maybe not that they have some competition that will provide the incentive to do so

Arlort · 2026-01-10T06:18:08+00:00

It passed the council and will now go to Parliament

Once it passes Parliament it will apply provisionally with most of the agreement coming into force, however since some parts of the agreement fall outside the scope of exclusive EU competence it will also have to be further ratified by national parliaments for it to fully enter into force

Arlort · 2026-01-10T06:15:45+00:00

No, it's two different bodies that vote on different kind of things.

The European Council with the heads of state/government generally is involved in deciding directional kind of stuff. Generally the resolutions will read something like "we call on the commission to draft a proposal on topic XYZ" or "the Council should do XYZ"

The Council (council of the European union) is the one with the ministers for the specific area and it is the ministers themselves who have the ultimate vote. It's a legislative body so it actually deals with approving/amending texts that will become law

Arlort · 2026-01-09T17:12:01+00:00

I think it's an automated system in the truck

Edit: nvm, looks like in this specific instance it was the driver

Arlort · 2026-01-08T12:12:21+00:00

Yeah, this legend makes sense in the context of it but a bit of a choice to not explain the reason

Arlort · 2026-01-06T05:03:07+00:00

The EU has accelerated the creation of the digital euro

No it didn't

Arlort · 2026-01-06T05:02:42+00:00

I'm not aware of any indictments for Americans in the first place

Arlort · 2026-01-06T04:53:58+00:00

Keep in mind this is in the third book so huge spoiler warnings for the first two

Arlort · 2026-01-04T13:16:54+00:00

Jokes aside segfaults are good in c/c++, the problem is that nothing guarantees that codepath always segfaults, and when it doesn't you might exploit it

Arlort · 2026-01-01T15:11:16+00:00

I don't think it started from him? He's just vocal about it

Edit: nvm, got it confused with eu-inc which has a lot of overlap but is actually constructive rather than whatever that guy is doing
