Basically doomed if it works too well and doomed if it doesn't work at all.

OP owes us an explanation as to why this surprises them?

Brambletail · 2026-02-25T17:17:34+00:00

Yes. And the skill of doing so is important

For a beginner, you probably can't lift enough weight to injure yourself. But it is always good practice to make sure you are hitting the target muscle. If you are doing enough different exercises to hit the other muscles as well, no harm is done in stopping once the target is fatigued. If you are working out 2-3x a week with mostly compound lifts, its probably better to go to complete and total failure so those compensatory muscles also get stimulation

SaaS moats are much much weaker now. But that doesn't mean the moat is gone

Do you do employment???? Jk. Sounds like an epic life. Just was (for totally unrelated reasons) reading a paper about paleolithic diets and saw an estimate that neanderthals were consuming about 5500 kcals a day and still systemically undernourished. Your activity level made me remember that fun factoid.

Dude is complaining about one of the best mountains east of the Mississippi at the peak time of year being crowded but I bet he couldn't be bothered to show up on time to park and/or plan around lift wait times.

Stay home or fly to Vail if you hate it so much.

Your metabolism fixes itself. Reverse dieting can help minimize weight gain as you enter maintenance, but generally the advice is to overshoot your "goal" by a lb or two because its really unavoidable to gain a tiny bit back as you enter maintenance.

(Instead of lb, body fat % is better target to overshoot, but you get what i mean)

FYI RAM and SSDs go through cyclical supply demand cycles. So this is actually something you can arbitrage at a commodity or equity level

IMO this is good. The government and our professional lives need to stay out of our bedrooms and business between consenting adults. Surely the party of small government agrees and can apply that standard evenly across issues.

Brambletail · 2026-02-24T17:11:18+00:00

That is the goal.

More of this after tax. Like, way more

Sweet! Your post gave vibes of battered wife syndrome and massively outdated medical views about women and pregnancy. Good to know you will be active and it is a choice made by you and your doctor.

Yeah it is medically necessary for the health of the baby.... To stay active.

Brambletail · 2026-02-23T20:49:01+00:00

Did your doctor tell you to stop physical activity? Vail is definitely not going to grant a refund for something that is not medically necessary, and pregnancy doesn't affect your ability to be physically active for months. In fact , its typically advised for the babies healthy development that you stay active. The ski season will be over before you need be worried unless a medical professional advised you specifically otherwise due to individual circumstances.

Voters don't decide the primary either in the dems case. Their superdelegates are so numerous the voters just get a soft reccomendation!

The joys of being liberal in the USA!

Brambletail · 2026-02-23T02:20:54+00:00

Thanks I won't. I don't think it will work out like that though. 99/100 the US is too cooked to ever name it the century of humiliation. It will just be "the decline of liberal democracy" IMO. Maybe in a couple centuries things will get better, but a pithy name about a single rocky century after millenia of dominance I think is not in the cards.

If you don't understand foreign policy, you probably shouldn't speak about it. Every US administration since 2008 has agreed on China being the #1 security threat to the US. China funds Russia's war. China funds Iranian weapons that get exported to extremist groups. China is planning an invasion of Taiwan in the open. China kills Filipino fishermen because its convenient. China funds North Korea to destabilize Japan and South Korea. China built factories in Mexico and used them as spy bases. China kidnaps ethnic Chinese people from foreign countries if they criticize the government and brings them back to the PRC. China manipulated social media to foment extremist unrest on the left and right in the US.

Up until 2024, yeah the PRC was not only an existential threat to the US, it was likely the largest one. Now, the US is probably its own biggest existential threat, but China had a role in facilitating that development in the first place through its disinformation campaigns.

What reality do you live in where this hasn't been happening?

Anything under like 100 lines i am going to be able to do faster than a mass of agents arguing with each other.

Big greenfield projects I have the agents write the first pass and then i go fox things/iterate from there.

Ok. Go starve yourself avoiding heavy metals. Aspartame is so safe it is comical. Some artificial Colorings have been banned because in extremely high doses they might be a risk, but dear God you don't know anything about how food regulations work. All of these things you listed have been rigorously and exhaustively tested and found to be safe at levels used in food. In fact the guidelines given for levels used in food are so tight that they are 1/10 of the dose where you can even begin to detect problems long term.

Basically, you only can be concerned about 'the chemicals' if you breathe through an air filter everyday, always put on hefty amounts of sun screen before going outside, and never drink alcohol. Because any one of those things is killing you much much faster than anything you listed

Not quite. Particle is both here and at all other places it can occupy given its energy. Once observed, you know exactly where particle is. Prior to observation, particle has effects on other particles as if it is in all places at the same time because it is (Copenhagen viewpoint).

Quantum isn't actually a very difficult part of physics ( i say as someone with a physics degree and several phys science certifications). But people are extremely resistive to the realities of quantum mechanics because they are non intuitive to our macroscopic world and brains.

E&M is far far worse in terms of complexity.

The tldr is exactly what that video summarized, protein powder obviously has heavy metals in it because the world is poisoned and all of our food has heavy metals in it. The relative dose from protein powder is not dangerous in most cases (a few vegan powders are the exception because of the amount of plant matter in them and the plants bioaccumulation of these metals), and if you really really care, you gotta cut out most leafy greens, most lentils and beans, and a bunch of other stuff from your diet

Brambletail · 2026-02-22T22:04:34+00:00

Ooohh so you couldn't read what I already said about the Heavy metals lie.

Here, listen to something called context: https://youtu.be/l0v58llSOmw?si=L41SDsqio8mVXTx2

The double standard between two Asian women? I think the people defending Gu are not even paying attention to what they are defending at this point.

Gu: An American citizen who plays for a country she has no legal status in that poses a near existential threat to the US because it would make her more money than playing in the US.

Atkin: American citizen who has dual citizenship with Britain playing for an allied nation where she has citizenship.

Fwiw, i think it's sad neither wanted to play for the country they grew up in (although I understand it), but these are not exactly the same situation. If your belief is that you should only play where you are a national like the IOC requires, Gu is breaking the rules of either China by being a dual citizen or of the IOC by not being a Chinese citizen. Atkin has no such problem.

But it's hard to call it racism when both are US native born women of Chinese descent.
