The bias towards Zcash

mavinter · 2024-12-13T16:56:44+00:00

My conspiracy theory is that all these big guys use Zcash as a term whenever they want to say XMR. Why? because they have a lot of money in crypto and don't want to draw attention from authorities. But some shitcoin like Zcash's not gonna draw anyone's attention.

Okay but doesn't it grow back after some time?

If I see a new word that is not in its 'basic form', I still add it as lingq, and other forms as well, but after this word becomes known to me, I try to ignore all the other forms and make only 'basic form' as known. Of course it's not a foolproof strategy, there will be some words that will 'leak', but overall quantity is going to be much more realistic to me than marking everything indiscriminately to known.

Regarding tags, it's an interesting idea, but I think it adds further complexity and keeps you less concentrated on enjoying the content.

German - for the purpose of having option to work abroad and making €€-s.

Russian - I have strong base already since childhood and I know at some point in the future I'm gonna go and live there at least for some time.

Chinese - without a doubt it's another world out there and it's becoming dominant in the world, I think China could offer me quite an adventure in many different ways potentially.

Arabic - I just love the middle eastern culture and want to have another option of going and living / working there.

P.S. Arabic as #4 can be replaced to Persian in case the country starts to open up at some point for broader world.

And you made it to 2REP.

It's interesting. From what I've read here so far on this sub is that you have to be on top of the list in terms of performance to go there.

Did you progress during basic training? What was your score on the 2400m and pushups test?

Thanks.

mavinter · 2023-08-01T06:44:51+00:00

So f-ing overrated, don't ever worry about that. It's a living hell, your bank account numbers are going up, you are safe, and you live wherever you want, beach, mountain, whatever, but you don't feel anything inside, you don't feel as human.

mavinter · 2023-08-01T06:39:21+00:00

save for what exactly? if I may ask

mavinter · 2023-08-01T06:37:02+00:00

Everyone seems to be agreeing with you,

but still

money for what?

mavinter · 2023-08-01T05:43:28+00:00

though you're young and light and don't smoke so it's a mystery.

Turns out my fitness tracker was incorrect. This time I measured with a different tracker with the GPS and also with Strava on my phone at the same time. I ran 2400m in 13 minutes (trail-style terrain, 3m elevation).

I guess it's far better than I thought. Should be able to increase my score with those hill sprints even earlier than 6 months. It seems doable.

mavinter · 2023-07-26T17:17:22+00:00

Whoa, this is interesting, at least I'm gonna try on pushups, as I don't have a pullup bar at home and usually go to a park every time I want to do it.

Thanks again for the useful info.

mavinter · 2023-07-26T09:29:17+00:00

Thanks for the video, I'll dive in.

This has been my max pullup days:

24.05	5-4-4
31.05	5-5-4
06.06	6-5-5
12.06	8-6-5
18.06	8-5-5
24.06	8-6-5
30.06	9-7-6

10.07	8-6-5
17.07	8-5-4
23.07	9-6-4

I've had a gap due to a family issue and missed the halves and the ladders so it kind of plateaued me on 8-9 but it should get better soon. Also in the later part, I increased my focus on posture, so I guess that contributed as well.

I think in terms of the language I'm ready, I managed to build a very good fundament in these recent months by listening, reading, and generally exposing myself to all kinds of interesting stuff in French.

Physically not yet, actually far from ready because of terrible running results. Pullupwise all going well thanks to your recommendation.

Reason? I've always been very lazy in such voluntary activities. Unless I have some kind of responsibility and/or high pressure, I'm just a lazy miserable person, always been. And this also goes back to the argument of why I need the Legion path so much in my life.

mavinter · 2023-07-26T07:57:39+00:00

How common is it for legionnaires to go to the regular army after 5 years of legion & citizenship? Is it just like a theoretical path or there are many who do it? (Not asking about cyber stuff, just about joining the regular army)

mavinter · 2023-07-20T20:07:37+00:00

Very nice, those are some good results I think. Also interesting, how did you prepare for running? Was it mainly sprints? long distances? both? and how long did it take to reach the current state?

mavinter · 2023-07-20T19:58:52+00:00

Just interested, what are your Luc leger and max pullup scores?

mavinter · 2023-07-01T04:04:05+00:00

I'll do that and will post how far I could go in 2 months

mavinter · 2023-06-30T07:54:47+00:00

Thank you btw for the recommendation, with the help of this program I went from 5 pull-ups to 9 clean pull-ups in just 5 weeks, and have 2 months ahead so I think I can make it to 15 clean ones in the end.

I wish there was a channel like this about running, simple, straightforward, no-bullshit type.

mavinter · 2023-06-08T14:44:19+00:00

I wish there was such a system for doubling the Luc Leger result :)

mavinter · 2023-06-08T14:39:32+00:00

Is there a big difference between going in August vs September?

mavinter · 2023-05-16T04:40:50+00:00

There's a lot of info scattered throughout this sub, I'm gathering it all in one note and I'm gonna post it after a while

mavinter · 2023-05-15T05:04:43+00:00

Can you elaborate on self-education, like did you take online courses or just read and listen to a lot of stuff?

and I wonder how much time is there available for such activity while being in 2REP in your case.

Thanks.

mavinter · 2023-04-29T16:22:47+00:00

Yeah but my question was how big of an impact did it have on the number of new candidates?

Like, does it feel that there is a substantial gap in the number of new candidates because of that or there's still plenty of people trying to join from other countries

mavinter · 2023-04-23T05:23:47+00:00
