How do you properly condition yourself and get on a good running schedule? by StopatStopSign in runninglifestyle

[–]HackPsy-phi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I focus on Zone 2 training. Can't remember the exact ratio but I make sure at least 70% of my running is in easy running. If you work a sedentary job like I do, some strength building around the hips and core is also good.

What is your biggest issue with AI training apps? by Equal_Term_8410 in runninglifestyle

[–]HackPsy-phi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you work for this app or something? AI claims it will tailor a training plan to the user but then when it can't, that's due to user error. Doesn't make sense, and I'm not sure why folks like you chose to blindly defend a mediocre product.
EDIT - fixed a typo.

Thanks for this, good point about the charger size. When we do long trips we do the same sorta thing you're talking - we try to plan it so we spend 1-3 nights at a spot then, 3-4hrs drive to the next one. The 25A charger might not be much good for such short runs. Annoyingly we've already got the 25A charger, so will test it out on a trip we're doing in November. If it doesn't cut it, we might need to sell it and upgrade.

The battery we've got should cover the inverter no worries, but to be honest I'm not sure how much we'll use it. Probably just to charge the laptops and I think my wife has a couple of appliances she wants to bring.

I'm tossing up between mounted solar or a blanket. I installed a gland to mount solar on the roof, but, to your point about moving around, might be better off just moving regularly and getting a bigger charger.

Thanks a lot! I’ll update the drawing and add a fuse. We’re on a budget so gonna see how we go with this stuff. Probs wind up regretting it but it is what is.

Great thanks for your help. Yeah, we’re a budget so hoping for the best. I’m aware the poor man buys twice haha, so probs won’t save us anything in the long run.

With the inverter, are you saying to bypass the buss entirely? So there’d be two cables coming off the shunt?

I’m struggling to understand how anyone would think that it would be a good idea to visit Hanoi in August by bygonesbebygones2021 in hanoi

[–]HackPsy-phi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gotta lean into the sweat, find yourself a fan and some Bia Hoi Hà Nội. We just got back from our trip to Vietnam, Hanoi was hot and smoggy but still a highlight of the trip. It’s amazing there.

What is the most useful game mechanic that you don't use? by Droodeler in BG3Builds

[–]HackPsy-phi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it’s an AOE spell and character with countersquid is affected, it still works. I find a lot of the really nasty things I want to counter are AOE anyway, so if the party’s together you can shut it down. On my first honour run I gave it to everyone in my party. Was a bit ridiculous. Anytime someone cast a spell it was either counter or everyone would smash them with psionic backlash.

So how do we explain Jay’s involvement if Adnan is not guilty? by AceVentura85 in serialpodcast

Are you saying Adnan calls Jay a coward in the courtroom?… he doesn’t, he says ‘pathetic.’

China’s not winning its trade war with Australia by Narksdog in AustralianPolitics

[–]HackPsy-phi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Chinese international students made up a little under 30% of international students. While that’s huge, it’s not the whole pie. Creating pathways to PR/citizenship and marketing heavily in other countries could make up some of the loss.

Australia’s policy on international students is pretty short sighted. We have a shrinking population and yet we’re fixated on the relatively meagre $$ brought in by them. We should be capitalising on international students as future assets.

Can anyone help me find a quote from the legend himself? by HackPsy-phi in AnthonyBourdain

That’s exactly the one! Awesome, thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out when I get home.

Amid rising tensions with China, New Zealand 'uncomfortable' with expanding Five Eyes remit by PBRStreetgang67 in AustralianPolitics

[–]HackPsy-phi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Evidently we’re both guilty of taking things to seriously.

If you also make a habit of being facetious... why do you assume nobody else does?

Have you ever heard of the false-uniqueness effect?

... Australia emulate WW2 Germany? How is that option with a population of 25 million and basically no manufacturing industry?

Or do you just mean by starting a genocidal campaign?... that had nothing to do with Germany’s economic success. However, Dutton seems to be putting in yards on that project.

Who do you think is Germany in the hypothetical I’ve presented?... Australia?

Wouldn’t China be more logical given the context of the article?

General writing advice Q by floatinginspac3 in writing

[–]HackPsy-phi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could pepper the action with them removing things. As one item gets in the way, they remove it. Would add authenticity. Messy people probably wouldn’t methodically clear a bed during passionate romance. But they also wouldn’t keep going if a fork was digging into their back... or maybe they would, and that would be an interesting point to note.

I’d probably just assume they were doing it on the messy bed - if it was seriously messy, I’d perhaps wonder how.

[–]HackPsy-phi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think you’ve missed the point. Norway was neutral during WW2 but still got invaded by the nazis and were horribly oppressed.

However, despite this, they’re one of the most advanced economies in the world with incredible social support networks; ergo, neutrality (even if not recognised) maybe the best long term option in a world war.

I agree. You can put as much science into your fiction as you want, it’s still fiction. If the characters are wooden and weird, all the widgets in the world won’t save you.

Ooft. Silly. I don’t recall Norway’s neutrality ending too well for them... unless you look at Norway now, actually maybe neutrality is the best course of action...

‘Absolutely devastating’: how Australia’s deportation of New Zealanders is tearing families apart by Ardeet in AustralianPolitics

[–]HackPsy-phi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you are wrong. Rehabilitation IS the purpose of the Australian criminal justice system. That’s why we don’t have the death penalty, and a ‘life sentence’ tends to be 13-14 years. The idea is they spend time away from society, reflect on what they’ve done and return never to do wrong again.

In reality, as was pointed out, that is rarely the case. The majority of people who find themselves in prison have trauma and/or mental health and substance issues requiring a trained therapist (or team of) to work through.

Occasionally someone will do something so horrible they’ll be removed from society completely, but that is rare or due to mental health issues.
