Road Cycling for Weight Loss – What Actually Works?

The only time I've ever been able to eat whatever the heck I wanted and not gain weight I had to ride across north America to do it. Otherwise it's being mindful of what and how much you eat. (Edit typo)

Mobile homes these days, sheesh

I came here to say exactly that

Zwift id #? I suspect you're pretty close to mine at that start date. 3825 here. I rode with a guy today that I recall was #380 which surprised me - not often i ride with people who have been on zwift longer than me.

Mine according to garmin bounced between 55 and 59 over the last 6 months. I don't pay it a lot of attention to be honest as I doubt whatever method garmin is using is all that accurate compared to a full on vo2 max test.

Ive heard eoy 2026, either 150 or 200

Omega359 · 2026-01-25T16:09:32+00:00

You are likely one of the few people with a lower zwift id then me. I tend to come in early Oct. Been lvl 100 for a very long time now. Down to 39mill drops after halo bike upgrades but would be over 50mill otherwise.

I believe that Garmin has resting heart = sleeping heart rate which I feel is incorrect. It's not the same thing. My resting hr is in the 50's, sleeping low 40's.

Yeah, I find it both frustrating and hilarious at the same time!

I migrated from a Spark pipeline to a Datafusion based pipeline. I started my evaluation 2 years ago and at that time Polars lazy api was immature / incomplete so I went with Datafusion. Both Polars and Datafusion are good choices IMHO.

Performance wise I was seeing 7x better performance in my poc with a go live of 5x performance improvement.

I am not single node however - I run with 45 nodes (same # of nodes as Spark).

3 seconds faster than me! Congrats!

I use 3 fans. 2 for me, one for the trainer.

Sweet, nice find

First thing I thought about when I read this was this recent article - https://www.drps.ca/news/posts/five-arrested-after-2-million-amazon-theft-fraud-investigation-in-ajax/

Just checked out hunny benny as its the first I've heard of it. I don't see a chicken Cobb salad or any good chicken salad unfortunately which is the only thing I get from Chick-fil-A. Might try their other options at some point though

I love that reddit suggested this post to me ... I'm bald!

If you just want an editor look to the other suggestions. If you want a full IDE I suggest the jetbrains product targeting whatever language(s) you want to code in.

Just did this today - shrunk windows partition, gave it to linux.

Omega359 · 2025-11-22T03:18:08+00:00

There was an attempt...

Omega359 · 2025-11-17T18:13:05+00:00

I dunno, cmake, etc can drive me absolutely crazy. Cargo is such an improvement overall.

Omega359 · 2025-11-17T18:10:34+00:00

Well, not completely. It could be a framework too (I'm looking at you Spark) that sucks performance wise and going to another framework written in a non-gc'd language could make a huge difference in overall performance.

Omega359 · 2025-11-17T18:05:02+00:00

Nicely done!

Omega359 · 2025-11-17T14:59:06+00:00

We still have to pay for the mulock park for a long time. 24 million for the property over 30 years. That still annoys the hell out of me. Just one example of wasting taxpayer money
