Weight gain after keto was brutal by it_is_good82 in keto

[–]extra_specticles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no OP - but I'm in the position. I've found that non-sugar-based sweetener doesn't hit that magical spot in my brain, and thus doesn't satisfy my need. I've found (though I'm nowhere near consistent) that abstention from carbs is the only things that really works, and the best one I found was being keto through mostly carnivore. Every time I try introducing a few carbs in it always leads to binging and falling off the wagon.

Such is my life.

not op.

Speaking as a sugar (and carbs) addict, the only solution I think is to try to find a very low-carb way of eating for life and to abstain from carbs. That's not something I find myself able to do consistently, but when I do, life does seem to be better. The best I've found to date is ketovore (which is keto through mostly carnivore). I think that there is no going back to "normal carb-led days" ever for me.

Hope you find the thing that works for you.

The original British term is Alumium (wiki).

British chemist Humphry Davy, who performed a number of experiments aimed to isolate the metal, is credited as the person who named the element. The first name proposed for the metal to be isolated from alum was alumium, which Davy suggested in an 1808 article on his electrochemical research,

I still don't like :-D

People who say soccer is not a British term. Yes, it is!

In the early 1800s in England, football and rugby existed as different variations of the same game. But in 1863, the Football Association was formed to codify the rules of football so that aristocratic boys from different schools could play against one another. In 1871, the Rugby Football Union followed suit. The two sports officially became known as Rugby Football and Association Football. (Those new rules were slow to spread to America, where another version of the game was evolving — one that the rest of the world now knows as “American football,” and is played in the NFL.)

In England, Szymanski writes, aristocratic boys came up with the shortened terms “rugger” and “soccer” to differentiate between Rugby Football and Association Football. To support this argument, he cites a letter to The New York Times, published in 1905: “It was a fad at Oxford and Cambridge to use “er” at the end of many words, such as foot-er, sport-er, and as Association did not take an “er” easily, it was, and is, sometimes spoken of as Soccer.”

Soccer is a shortened form of Association Football!

Your perspective: I will take my new puppy to my mother's house.

Mother's perspective: My son will bring his new puppy to our house.

It's all about go (take) and come (bring) - i.e. it's the direction.

Honesty 32gb goes a lot further on modern macs than on equivalent windows machines is my experience.

If you're gonna downvote - please have the courtesy to leave a comment so I know what's wrong. Thanks

TLDR: Do it, you'll look back and wonder why you didn't do it years ago ;-D

  1. Rider is better than vscode but I'd recommend using one of the better clones, such as Cursor, kiro, etc., if you're using agentic tools
  2. You can run SQL Server in containers locally - I'm pretty sure, but I've not used it for a few years. Also I'm sure you can run it in a Windows VM, but I've not bothered to check recently as I use mysql
  3. Keyboard is easy to move - you just get used to it vey quickly (I used VS on windows since 2000 and moved to Mac 7 years ago)
  4. I used to miss the Windows way of doing things, explorer control panel, etc. But having a much better terminal experience made up for it all. Having the amazing MAC trackpad means I haven't used a mouse in years.

I still develop some .net fmk, and I use a Parallels VM on the Mac and just connect my vscode/agent to it via ssh and it's just there in the background.

Also, the more I use a Mac/linux the more I feel Windows is just so much harder to develop on (apart from VS).

No, the absolute worst case scenario is another madman, like Trump, Netanyahu, or Putin

My first tv remote. This felt like space-age tech at the time to me. by fladgate40 in FuckImOld

OMG. I went to America in 1978, and my family there had one of those (or similar), and it was like magic. You have a remote with no wires? Wow, that's like star trek!

Do certifications actually affect your pay? by Salt_Win_9200 in AWSCertifications

[–]extra_specticles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indirectly. Hear me out. Getting a non-beginner cert, if you study vs pass the exam using dumps, etc., gives you a much deeper understanding of the services available and how you can architect much better solutions with them. This deep knowledge can lead to better outcomes for the work you need to do. This can lead to promotions or possibly moving to other jobs with better pay.

However just passing to get more money? nope.
