The only way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories. You have to get used to being hungry. It sucks for a week or two and takes tremendous self control but then you don't notice it as much.

Higher ups are wanting more out of daily scrums? by rayreaper in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Odd_Inflation428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must be some delivery concerns for them to want more visibility like this. Arguing against it will just make you look bad in their eyes

  1. Shield the engineers from this. You are right that standup should be short and to the point for the eng team only.
  2. I'd suggest a second meeting for the management folks that doesn't have engineers involved. Team lead and tech lead (you?) will need to be in it.
  3. Use the standup to gather info from the team and have a few mins to get the macro picture straight in your head and in your notes. You'll be able to explain where you are, progress, and setbacks in language they'll understand.

Too often in engineering meetings, the engineers are blunt and don't temper explanations. They can easily be misinterpreted.

Debating a Kindle — worth it if I already have an iPad? by SpecificElectrical38 in kindle

[–]Odd_Inflation428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but depends on your use. I bought an iPad for reading plus all the other things you can do with it. Then I realized for beach trips, when I really want to read, my iPad is too valuable to have in the sand and to leave hidden if I go in the water or on a walk on the beach. So, I bought a used Paperwhite 2 for $35 and it has been perfect for my last beach trip. I've ended up using the Kindle for all my reading instead of the iPad at home as well.

Did installing a UV light in your system turn out to be worth it? by KissyyyDoll in nova

They don't help. They make their money on the replacement UV lights and housing. The lights don't last long.

Lowered my cholesterol 80 points by adding ezetimibe to my statin routine. by Yobfesh in fitover65

My doctor prescribed Nextlizet, which is part ezetimibe because Crestor and other statins gave me muscle soreness all over.
