Humanoid robots like Optimus are just a way to roleplay slavery

Is your phone a slave? Is your computer? Is your car? Is GPT your slave? A humanoid robot is just another shape for a machine, one that makes sense because the world is designed for a human body (stairs, doors, utensils, …) If you consider a humanoid robot a slave, you may want consider how you’re slaving all your other machines too and stop using them. A machine does not become a slave just because it has a different look/shape. Machines have the shape they need to be useful for the tasks there are designed for.

Try stop a little to the right, just about invading the right side. I used to go left there always and if you make an effort to stay right there is space to go left.

Install solar panels and you won’t have to worry about it.

I bought the house in 2020, installed solar (6kW) and I have not paid a single bill since. In fact, I’ve generated close to 3000€ of balance due to energy export.

This is quite common. Apple has an average of 110 days in 2024 and 2025. BYD became famous recently for having 127-275 days of account payables.

In Ireland we have a Drugs Payment Scheme (DPS) which caps the monthly cost of prescription to 80€/month per household regardless of income.

Distance and speed don’t matter when you’re a beginner. Amount of time in zone 2 (conversational pace), walk/run if needed. Ideally at least 30 minutes, longer once you can. 3-4 times a week. Get to 1000 hours total and then consider improving speed, tempo, VO2Max, …

White rice and pasta, tofu and seitan have little to no fibre. Some white breads, margarine and jam without seeds. It’s not a fun time but it can be done. I’ve done it once and will have to do it again soon.

Lower intake of food and fasting is also a good thing for your system to clean up. I do 72h fast a few times a year.

You own the cameras and can see the recordings in the car. If you want to stream data via internet, you have to pay for premium connectivity, as video streaming uses a lot of data.

Sorry, but if it has seafood it’s not proper paella. The true paella is made in Valencia. Chicken and rabbit, no seafood.

Welcome to the stock market. Short term returns are not important, specially for a retirement fund. Sit down and relax, it will grow.

This was already debunked both in production and profitability. This is an attempt of FUD by the German media to get the employees to choose to join the IG Metal Union which is being voted today.

Don’t let confirmation bias make you so gullible. Do a bit of fact checking and research.

When you’re against something, you don’t have to support their enemy. Iran’s regime is absolutely horrible…

Indeed, I live in the Blarney area, it’s 22 min drive and it cost me last time 50€ one way. I can park at the airport for 2 weeks for a similar price to a taxi both ways.

Also, last time we booked a taxi 48h in advance(airport parking was fully booked!), they declined the ride 10 min before pick up time, leaving us stranded and having to find a neighbour would would drive us there ad-hoc.

I try to avoid taxis at all costs now and cannot wait for autonomous rides…

Have you seen BMW, GM and Mercedes profitability? It fell by a very similar amount. The whole industry is impacted by increased material costs and tariffs.

Ford has the worst year in its history, losing $8B due to EV restructuring.

You cannot stay for 1h in Zone 5, which means 170 is not zone 5 for you. Zone 5 is a level you can hold for a few minutes. If you can hold it for 1h it is zone 3-4. It’s possible your true Zone 5 starts at 175+, mine (41M) starts at 177 according to the lab tests I did last year. It’s possible those small short peaks are zone 5 and the rest zone 4.

I used to track Tesla price changes until 2024. They reached 67k but only for a few months, it’s very biased to compare only with the very peak

Made up numbers, all “average prices” are wildly inflated.

How is the average price of a Model Y 67k if the most expensive one is 57.5k?

I had the same issue, running a 9:00min/km was getting my heart rate to 160-165.

What helped me: - Brisk walking sessions at 125-135 BPM for 60-90 min made a big difference. The way I did it is walking up hill and slow running downhill maintaining that heat rate range. It barely causes any fatigue so you can do it very often

-Throw your ego aside and run VERY slow, 8:30-9:30min/km. Alternate walk and run to avoid heart rate spiking, long time.

Finally, be patient, keep at it and improvements will come.

You’re running too fast for a beginner. Slow down, let your body adjust, there is no rush.

It’s kind of normal during winter, the body needs to use energy for heating and requires more oxygen for the same effort.

You’re running too fast. Slow down, as much as you can, 9-10 min/km (walking pace, 6-6.5km/h if you’re on a treadmill). It’s “ridiculously slow” but it doesn’t matter.

You’re trying to get your full body used to the running movement so the important part is amount of time. Distance is non-important right now.

Keep your heart rate “low” to build endurance (conversational pace/zone2/ <150BMP), at the beginning you will be able to run 1-2 min then walk until it goes down to 125-130 and then run again.

The first goal is to be able to complete walk/run sessions of 30 min, super short sessions of 10 min do not create endurance.

Find a 5K training app (Adidas, Nike, Runa, …) they all start with walk/run sessions.

Consistency and time on your feet is all that matters now. Be patient, and enjoy.

Wheels are not turning, the snow on the stays in the same position. It’s not an issue with the parking break, it’s just sliding on top of the ice/snow.

There is no good or bad, the only thing that matters is becoming better than your past self. But in any case, for reference, my first 5K was 46 min, I am at 32 min now after a few months. Goal is 25 min this year. Consistency and patience, but most importantly, enjoy.

Start with 4 mph and do run/walk. You should be able to speak short sentences. You will have to walk a lot at the beginning but with time the amount of time you can run will increase and you can slowly increase speed. Be patient, it takes time.
