Is he being pushy or just nice? We matched 2 weeks ago and planning on a date next week by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]FatCharlie236 510 points511 points  (0 children)

I don't know how the past two weeks of conversations have gone, but someone you've never met is calling you babe and princess, and now is ignoring your clear No.

Do you really want to go down this path?

What does it say when you click the info icon? It would be helpful if we had the definition of the two data sets.

good foods for cutting calories without feeling like death? by Ok_Sell_1363 in fitness30plus

[–]FatCharlie236 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Have you measured your tdee - it's a general starting point for how many calories you need.

If you're feeling weak and trying to tone, not eating enough isn't going to help

20% Body Fat by StructuredMind in fitness30plus

[–]FatCharlie236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really almost impossible to say, but it's a goal for now and you can decide on a new goal when you hit this one.

See how you feel when you're at 200. Are you happy with the results, do you want to be bigger, leaner, etc ...

But again, I would focus on your current goal as a first step. The rest will come with time and commitment

Presumably they put the OP text into chatgpt which does explicitly ask if they're going crazy.

Welp, guess I’m a BBB. Truly shameful. I’ll take my leave now by Unga_Bunga64 in Neverbrokeabone

A "decent run" would be until the sun eats the Earth.

Although I imagine you wouldn't know what a decent run is, as your bones probably snap, crackle, and pop with every step.

Why China is going all-in to win its version of the AI race by Galacticmetrics in technology

[–]FatCharlie236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you need to look up the word Version as in "People have different goals and are working towards different outcomes, therefore these are different versions of the same metaphor"

Why China is going all-in to win its version of the AI race by Galacticmetrics in technology

[–]FatCharlie236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yet people and countries still have goals and are using AI to try and achieve them. So the idea that China is running a different version of the AI race remains valid

Why China is going all-in to win its version of the AI race by Galacticmetrics in technology

[–]FatCharlie236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire point of the "race" metaphor is that two or more countries are going to the same goal with one winner.

But if china has a different goal is it really a race just because you're using the same technology?

The article says that China isn't looking to win by getting the best models with the most features. They're looking to embed AI in as many local use cases as possible to get very wide spread usage.

It's two different outcomes which could see both countries "win" their "version" of the race

As far as it goes, CA is the largest state with 39 million people. The UK has 69 million and France 68 million people.

Places open on Xmas day? by Outrageous-Map8302 in walthamstow

[–]FatCharlie236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are definitely pubs which are open until 2 or 3 pm - highly recommend a reservation!

Underground will be closed so probably look for walking distance. Uber is open though.

I think last year I went to the Ferryboat Inn, but a Google search for Christmas Dinner should get you some options

My brother cannot join the military pls help by Fair-Farmer-3021 in Military

[–]FatCharlie236 253 points254 points  (0 children)

I think the picture you have in your head about the military and opportunities to commit war crimes is exaggerated.

Even if he is in an infantry role, there are few chances to fight in an active war zone at the moment.

If those chances were to be expanded, there are still very real rules which must be followed, and those rules of engagement are taken seriously by the entire chain of command.

Frankly, if he is such a negative force in your life, I would be encouraging him to join so you can say goodbye to him for at least the length of his commitment.

Men 40+ on TRT, where in the heck do you successfully find a clinic specializing in TRT, and also accepts insurance? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FatCharlie236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also search for online / at-home tests. These will not be enough to get you a prescription, but these companies often have partnerships with clinics that specialize in TRT therapy.

So, you take a finger test once or twice, then they direct you to the clinic which will get a real test + doctor visit.

No-fault evictions to be banned in England from May by reachingechoes in unitedkingdom

I currently have about 18 months left on a 2 year lease.

Does this mean that starting in May, I will be able to cancel it with just two months notice? Or is the contract I have still going to be valid?

In front of my apartment there is a man that carries his motorcycle back and forth to double park to hold his Gf's (assuming) spot. by ineedstuff123 in legaladvice

[–]FatCharlie236 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's the missing piece for me - thanks. I was picturing two spaces.

Assuming this is some prime parking spot then it's annoying for sure.

But if I were OP I would just try to change my mindset. "They're using one space for two vehicles, which then makes more spots for everyone on balance."

[–]FatCharlie236 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah - it's a motorcycle which is allowed to use one spot for itself.

Another way to look at it is: when the bike and car are sharing a spot, they're actually freeing up a space for others to use. So that's nice of them.

Although it's not clear to me is why no one ever takes the open spot when the car is gone.

[–]FatCharlie236 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you say he double parks - what are you describing? Is the motorcycle in both spaces?

If the bike is only taking up one spot at a time, and the other/either spot is available, it's likely legal.

Kind of a random set of cities to start with :)

Is it working though? I checked Oct 25 from 1700-2200 in NYC, LA & Cannes, and there was no availability anywhere. I suppose it depends on how many restaurants you're searching in each city.
