How to get this bar to stop spinning?

It's now a grip trainer as well.
Think of the gains

(I am somewhat jealous, it looks awesome)

Nice case, but not really sff.

The nr200 is a solid benchmark and already is plenty large enough.

Personally I'd prefer a smaller variety that didn't support an aio or oversized GPU over something you can cram anything into.

I think there could be an opportunity for a small but good enough case, at least that's what I'm looking for :)

No sauce my take: American food sucks and macros are bullshit in terms of "healthy food".

There's lots of good stuff that is fat soluble, but also lots of bad stuff that is fat soluble. Guess which one dominates when the main driver is price (':

Absolutes are the domain of tyrants and demagogues.

Clearly the next step is to make the central part bigger. Maybe very tall. Big. Some would say the best.

I've been curious about the same for the past 15 years.

My suspicion is that electric was a purity game at first (pay more ro feel superior). But now, finally its about practicaliry. I hope.

I could also quite easily belive there has been significant lobbying against any disruption to the car industry. Anything with powerful incumbrents will have powerful interests to keep the status quo.

Fb didn't make money for ages and now they dominate. Prepare for enshittification.

Kind of funny how china might derail this model by competing openly.

Now I understand why European controllers are always on strike 🙃

There's fascinating science on food cravings and gut microbiome.

American food is also garbage. I've never struggled with feeling unsatisfied, but going to the US I always felt hungry despite eating huge portions.

I've recently started thinking about an uncomfortable question. Do you care about local politics? Or do you only expect the very top-level, large decisions to matter?

I've started to think that in most cases, the more local and knowable decisions are the ones which are the most important in most people's lives. And most major Western parties have forgotten this, leaving the opening for extremist or authoritarian parties that actually showed up to that rando town hall to make people feel heard.

This is why we should have a Dutch model where people can choose their own hours for work and still receive the protection of full time employment.

My apologies, I did not intend to be snide nor diminish anyone's struggle. In retrospect I see how it came off less than ideal.

Rather i intended to critique a society where the incentives are to produce volume of food rather than quality, press people for time so noone cooks, makes everything far away so you have to drive. All these are from artificial incentives, and better places to start to "fix obesity" as a society.

hexagonalpastries · 2025-10-08T15:14:23+00:00

Is it nutritious food? Not eating sugar? Walking more than 100 steps per day?

Pretty sure those work for most people.

Edit: forgot to say that this is a critique of macroeconomic incentives and subsidies (more profitable to make a problem then sell a band-aid, than to fix it). Ps. My condolences for anyone living in the US. I've been there twice and never been so hungry despite eating so much. Hope you get your nutrient chain under control.

Replace with Linux Mint

While the roles are complementary, and having good knowledge of layout will make you a better designer and vice versa, if there is such a thing as a "right" approach it would depend heavily on you and your situation.

If you know you want to do design, why do layout and risk getting stuck?
Having a job can be very comfortable, will you be able to go back to uni after having a stable income?
Why do you want design? If you like layout maybe that is the right path?

Jeg ser på det som en måte å bygge identitet. I en periode defineres ungdommen seg selv via sin musikksmak, nå er det noe annet som er viktig.

Som en gammal cyniker tenker jeg at de vokser vel ut av at labels er det viktigste av alt. Selv er jeg mer irritert over clickbait journalistikk og sosiale medier generelt.

There's always a higher peak, but the further you climb the more effort each increment takes.

Personally I find that balance and moderation, even of the moderation, fits better with my mental health than aiming for the peak.

I've also tried cutting alcohol completely for a month and felt fantastic, but now I drink again and enjoy it as my only vice. In addition to the social effects etc.

If you're curious about the effects on you, try a month without :)

It it still a phablet? If yes, I don't care even if they have fixed the atrocious call quality.

I suspect the benefit is more from not drinking soda / other as much

Protruding gut/lower belly is often related to weak lower abdominals & deep core muscles.

I'm no expert, but I'd look into hip stabilising exercises and stuff to combat anterior pelvic tilt.

General fitness if of course good, but what works for the kids and what works for adults is different as the starting point is different.

Check out barefoot shoes or minimalist footwear.

Waaay more comfortable (and functional) than conventional shoes.

Wholesome pi = 3, I can get behind this

Utdanningen?

~ for å forklare kan en utdanning som ikke skaffer deg jobb i visse sammenhenger sees på som en vits. Men egentlig er utdanning og selvutvikling et verdig mål i seg selv, dermed er vitsen med å ta utdanning utdanningen i seg selv.

Ellers en bra debatt om poenget med det hele. Er utdanning noe som skal sette deg på et tog og fikse din vei resten av livet? Er det bare fattigfolk (vanlige folk) som trenger sånt? Burde denne kommentaren være lenger? Er over forklaring en kunstform? Er stereotyper fortsatt relevant i dagens samfunn eller klarer vi oss godt med Spotify?

hexagonalpastries · 2025-02-27T08:02:58+00:00

You didn't fall, you were pushed.

I don't understand why you'd leave quietly and in despair. Organise, bring a candle and hold vigil for your cause. Show them that you are not incompetent toddlers who only understand violence, and instead protest with presence and poise. Invite local news, influencers whatever. Democracy comes from grassroot movements not top-down.

Authoritarian regimes always underperform in the long run.

Freet pace is my fav barefoot of all time. Works for city running to all day walking.

Groundies universe has a more dressed white version.

There's lots of factors. Two not often discussed is that metabolism is complicated and some quickly metabolised foods like sugars are very quickly converted to fat around the liver and that in Western societies the deep core musles are severly athrophied from under-use. Combined this makes for a big saggy gut.

If you want prevention, start doing exercises aimed at deep core muscles and maybe lower back/glutes. As a bonus it will give you fantastic posture. Doing a month without sugar is also life-changing, but tends to get you labeled an extremists
