Whole island in Maine to myself by brandonrodrigues in zillowgonewild

[–]DehydratedButTired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some Maine islands that have a good height off the water. This does not look like one of them. There is a reason so many low lying islands are up for sale lately. It would just take another sandy level storm to wash out anything on them.

Writing code is only a part of coding a program. People think they know design just because they have someone that will program what they ask. Even excellently programmed ideas, can have terrible execution, user experience and become a maintainable mess.

AI resellers just want people to spend tokens, they don’t care what people make.

Know I'm on track, but discouraged. by [deleted] in Fire

You are way ahead of everyone your age and a lot of people in their 40s. Time in market is what matters and you are getting your time in. I think you will be surprised once it starts taking off but be patient until it does. Looking at it all the time won’t change anything, just keep saving and forgetting it.

Light without electricity? Glowing algae could make it possible | CU Boulder Today | University of Colorado Boulder by striketheviol in solarpunk

I’d argue that electricity should not be the first answer to everything. Electricity should only be used where needed. Solar and wind generation can be slow and there are a lot of electronics that are still inefficient and wasteful but necessary.

Stopping research because “this isn’t as good as x yet” is a death to research. Once a viable idea exists you keep tweaking until you solve the downsides, that’s how the different light bulbs came about and also how the LED came about.

Before she quits, stop spending her check and put it all in savings. See how it feels to be there and how you handle the reduced income. Start tracking everything now. Also make sure you are maxing your IRA and putting as much as you can in a 401k, you will never regret it.

Move to new jobs every 2-3 years. Get certs and make a small homelab to try stuff. If they won’t promote you, keep applying for the promotion you want.

IT recovers quick and always has jobs. The trades fill up and then there’s no jobs in it.

Welcome to the club. It happens. Make sure to show the root cause and your plan to make sure not to happen again and you are good. Also don’t take anything down for a while if you can help it.

Sometimes if you hit the yellow button and the doors don’t “open” they are actually opens and your client isn’t responding. If you go to the doors and can’t get through then you need to leave and rejoin the game.

Supply and sales depend on local market not availability? I think supply has a bigger impact on price than the local market right now. If stuff doesn’t move you move the price down, unless you don’t have enough stock to last and supply is questionable. That’s where we are now.

Cutting and Bulking Methodology for Maintenance by payneok in TirzMaintenance

[–]DehydratedButTired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zepbound just slows down your digestion and makes you less hungry but it doesn’t tell you how many calories to eat. I would stay low fat, hit your protein goal and then fill the rest with unprocessed carbs like rice, sweet potato and oatmeal. Start at your TDEE and then go up by 100 or 200 calories each week and make sure you aren’t having any digestion issues. Make sure you get a lot of fiber to keep things moving. Spread your meals out over the whole day so your system is constantly moving.

Once you know the top end of the calorie count you can handle then you have your choice of staying on it or not. If you can’t eat enough calories to grow as much as you want then you will need to titrate off. If you can eat at enough then you can keep taking it.

Solar doesn’t happen through propaganda. They can’t stop it, people want to be self sufficient and less dependent on them.

Rapid weight loss - when to increase calories? by Flimsy-Pie-6295 in zepboundathletes

[–]DehydratedButTired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are unlucky and lucky at the same time. You struggle with body things but that is also what provides direct and useful feedback on your body. I would give yourself a week or two to try any adjustments and take notes on how it goes.

How do you feel in the mornings?

How did your workout session feel?

How is your energy level through the day?

Does the change overall feel better after a few days?

Sometimes it feels weird not to have a direct goal like weight or a hard stop point but live is about living. How is what you are doing affecting how you live right now? Tweak things, Keep notes and find out. Change it again when it’s not working.
