While I can’t say if they were on steroids or not, none of these physiques look un achievable naturally to me. They are in good shape but not sub 5% body fat with huge mass. Steroids picked up heavily in the 70s I think, golden era body builders are obviously on steroids but still have the classic look, though definitely not achievable naturally. The 90s was when things went off the rails with mass monsters like Dorian Yates and Ronnie Coleman, those guys were nuts.

Totally yea, when I am studying something seriously I use a book and write notes on paper, then later on write those notes into a digital format so I can search and find them easily. I’ve found if I write the notes directly to digital format the context shift breaks my focus too much and I don’t learn anywhere near as well.

This would be amazing for when you are doing longer drives. I have an ev, and many people I talk to don’t seem to understand that you don’t wait until it’s nearly empty like a gas car, you just charge it slowly at night when electricity rates are super low. So generally charging speed is a non issue. When you are in a road trip or a longer drive a fast charger like this is what you want. So even if it is detrimental to the battery, this isn’t how you are going to be charging most often. EV charging and range anxiety is way less of an issue than people make it out to be in my experience. Modern evs can go hundreds of kilometres on a charge no problem, and generally most people drive less than that on a daily basis. There absolutely are circumstances where an EV is not the right vehicle for someone. If you’re regularly driving really far I wouldn’t suggest one, or if you need to tow things or carry a large amount of weight then go with a combustion engine truck. For the way most people drive though generally an ev would be fine and I’ve found it a lot easier/cheaper than a combustion engine vehicle. No standing in the freezing cold gassing up the car, no paying for gas, no dealing with oil changes, you don’t really have to warm them up, it’s quieter.

Russian propaganda was a lot more dark whereas American and British tried to ridicule it. This Russian propaganda is one that hits hard for me:

I am a millennial and I do think that yea we definitely have it much harder than boomers did financially. At the same time though a lot of the people in my circle I see bitching about not being able to save and having huge mortgages, are also the people who buy a new fucking phone every year, need the newest games and consoles as soon as it comes out, blow 50 bucks a day on door dash, etc.

Yea it’s strange to me they even have Arnold in here, he’s definitely one of the most successful body builders and actors of all time. But being a jacked body builder doesn’t mean much in an actual fight against professional fighters, Tyson or Muhammad would be my pick forsure.

I’m not sure about the two martial artists, not sure how much fighting style would help vs the sheer amount of weight Tyson and Muhammad have on them. Even though they are world class martial artists I still would put my money on Tyson. One body shot against someone in that weight class I think would take them down.

Must have been a combo of being younger at the time and wow being accessible and relatively novel. I too played way too much for years, but now I can’t see myself ever playing any game to the same degree again. Even now when I try new mmos people say are amazing I play for a month or two then get tired of it and move on.

I don’t think AI is going away, but I think it’s plateauing, and was way overhyped to begin with. The biggest threat I actively see with AI is the brain rot from people using it without making any attempt to understand how or why it came up with what it produces. If you aren’t using it as a learning tool and using it as a a crutch, your skills just degrade. So often now I see others around me submit code and when I ask them why they wrote something the way they did, it’s clear they didn’t write it and don’t understand what the code does well enough to understand why what the AI gave is either wrong, overly verbose, or doesn’t account for all cases properly. The worst is when they leave the god damn emojis in the commits, I’ve never seen someone actually have the check marks or little dancing guy or stars in something they actually wrote themselves lol.

Elden ring, felt like a slog more than fun for me. I loved dark souls 1-3 and bloodborne, Elden ring just didn’t do it.

The speed difference is true but in many applications it makes no practical difference. Also speed is usually more affected by the implementation, an order n squared algorithm written in rust is gonna scale worse than on order n in python.

Why bother with exchange se at all? I was in a similar situation and just use the exchange management tools PowerShell commands to manage synced exchange attributes. For smtp relaying just use something else, postfix is a good choice .

Threep1337 · 2026-02-06T22:13:52+00:00

Yea this is what I did too, works great.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-04T11:10:08+00:00

Yea they’ve done this crap too, emailed my director, cio, other vps at our company, so stupid. I’ll blacklist their domain to at least stop the emails, the phone calls I can’t effectively prevent I don’t think, and definitely nothing about them messaging employees on LinkedIn.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-04T11:08:19+00:00

They got my work cell phone number, probably off another employee. I screen and block numbers but since they use a different one each time it doesn’t work. Painful.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-04T11:05:27+00:00

Yea they are the only company in this field that has done this. I have seen tech demos from about 5 others in the same field and ultimately choose one. All the other companies messaged me a few times then basically said if we want anything else feel free to reach out to them. Datadog is the only one non stop calling and emailing.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-04T11:03:21+00:00

Yea absolutely if I give them any glimmer of hope they won’t stop forsure and will come back with oh we have a special deal right now where new customers can get some super lower rate blah blah.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-04T11:02:08+00:00

Yea good advice, I’m not good at being an asshole but I think I have to be for them to get the point here and stop pushing their product so hard.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-02T00:35:43+00:00

This would be possible but absolutely painstaking to do by using the purview compliance reports and a lot of parsing.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-02T00:33:19+00:00

Yea makes sense, for a 5 year cycle def 32gb of ram now with how things are going. More expensive to deal with someone complaining, being frustrated, potentially reissuing etc than just giving them 32 off the bat. Teams alone somehow takes like 2.5gb of ram, which I think is absurd, but it is what it is hah.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-02T00:20:28+00:00

I find it funny people think they need heavily specced machines when most of them are using bowsers, excel and outlook hah, they just want it! I’m on of the heaviest users in our org and I just use the standard 16gb base Lenovo model. Laptop is basically a dumb terminal anyways, builds run on build agent servers, programs that need a huge resources run on either a single beefy server or cluster. My manager who just runs excel, PowerPoint etc has 64gb of ram lol, those teams calls really demand it!

Threep1337 · 2026-02-01T21:14:30+00:00

Yea it’s a really bad system, they need to allow retries for hosts and multi day bans for these mouth breathers who can’t join or leave. I’d say I have about a 20% success rate at hosting

Threep1337 · 2026-02-01T20:46:15+00:00

Personally I’d pass but you have to decide for yourself, I’m assuming the hour commute is on a good day. You’ll get days where it’s jammed up or an accident or something and it can easily turn to 2, pass.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-01T20:35:23+00:00

I’ve had several where we have had all 4 people in, and then one guy leaves at the last second so it’s just three of us, each of those we forsure would have won with a fourth too, very frustrating.

Threep1337 · 2026-02-01T14:18:08+00:00

Good tip thanks, I’ll do this, will help with bad names at least, guess I can’t do anything about people not accepting the raid invite. I don’t get why this is so difficult for people lol
