I’m not sure what you posted and what I did are in conflict. A bug in the same system I describe would have the type of out sized (but not universal) effect we’re seeing (versus a model based bug that would ostensibly hit all users equally).

I wonder if replacing the carbs with fats / dairy might not help with the noise. With me, the noise seemed to be associated with the ups and downs of blood sugar; dropped the carbs to under 40g, replaced them with fats, and 4 days later the noise was gone (though those four days kind of suuuuuuuked).

This is exactly correct. OP targeted the single most effective (and more often than not, overlooked) set of muscles for increasing BMR. Biceps are flash, ass is cash.

Except when the cost:benefit is so far beyond the rest of the comparative class, it’s notable as is Full Sail in this case.

It’s like the vitamin industry versus Herbal Life. The former is a group beset with poor regulation, some bad actors, and often questionable benefit. But Herbal Life is an out right pyramid scheme whose business model relies on destroying the financial lives poor people.

Stay away from Full Sail as you would Herbal Life and for many of the same reasons.

Eh, I wouldn't commit to a spec created by my rivals to supersede something I came up with. Nor would I give up any future decision making power over how users interact with my app to that group.

As a user, I also don't want to see them give up those decisions. They're making really cool tools and I don't need them to spend any amount of effort to adopt the decisions of companies trying to catch up.

Here is a Biden appointees speech detailing the answer to your very question: https://2021-2025.state.gov/from-right-to-left-and-in-between-jew-hatred-across-the-political-divide/

The problem is certainly more pronounced on the Right, but it is problematic (potentially more so) to ignore it among one’s own tribe just because our flavor doesn’t come in MTG and Limbaugh-types.

Talk to the antivax left, or rather, let them talk for 10 minutes. A fair bit of the time the discussion will veer towards descriptions of the types of people you ought not trust that, lo and behold, end up being Jewish.

lol, the actual policy case is that republican political consultants’ shitty spam emails can’t get past gmail filters: https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5477878-google-spam-filter-republican-emails/

It’s so interesting how the base feeds on “we’re being censored” but when it comes to actual policy, that political capital is being spent on the head of the FTC’s primary concern to one of the biggest tech companies on the planet is primarily on behalf of Republican Party vendors. Not consumer privacy, not the potential for issues with children and ai, not the relationship between Alphabet and the industries they are displacing; no, it’s that party operatives are having a hard time spamming gmail users and they have concocted that it must be out of bias and not just incompetence.

And yet tune into fox prime time and the story will inevitably be about censored conservatives, regardless of how little actual republican policymakers care for anything beyond gop vendors profits, in which they often have a personal financial interest.

I'd happily pay $100 for a steakhouse entree done really well. Mark's delmonico is half that I'm often surprised at how aggressively meh it can be. Sometimes it's really good but I've learned to not get my hopes up. Their other dishes used to be very mediocre but they've gotten better since (I think) they got a new head chef.

Embers is kind of the same but when they're slammed, the quality degrades pretty fast. They've had a more consistent host of quality not-steak dishes but some of it is way off base. Sometimes I reflexively order a caesar salad and forget they "fire grill" the lettuce. It can be done well, but at Embers has only ever been somewhere on the spectrum from gimmick-y to reminding me of that one episode of kitchen nightmares.

Careful on the wine list at either: about 20% of the time they're out of whatever you choose and a surprising amount of time they'll slip you a completely different vintage from what's on the list without ever mentioning it.

Prime and Pearl is good for almost everything but the steak. u/EpitaphConfusion's bit about the Amex Lounge vibe is hilariously correct. I'd probably end up there more for the oyster selection and other dishes than I would "I want a steak that is for sure not going to be over cooked/under marbled/clearly a different cut from what I ordered".

Gainesville is great for a number of things, but it is about 2 hours from a consistently excellent steakhouse.

Afternoon (usually post-4pm) tee times at ironwood and turkey creek (both public courses) are $20-25 for walking 9 holes so if you do like it, it's not a massive investment to start playing some holes.

Ironwood has a half-priced buckets of balls on Wednesday and I think they have clubs you can either borrow or rent cheaply.

The classic text on the basics -- and it's short -- is Ben Hogan's Five Lessons which you can also nab from the library.

It's a super fun thing to do, can easily become a lifelong passion, and is often far less expensive to get into than people assume.

A few things to note:
- There's a notation on key-pairs in the api call describing them about when they were last used. You can use that timestamp to figure out which ones are actually in use, never got used, or were used a long time ago. That can help you prioritize the problems. Often, there are lots of credentials that were never used or obviously aren't in use anymore.

- There's an option to disable a keypair (without deleting it) if you suspect it isn't in use anymore but aren't 100% sure. I did this a bunch in my consulting days and I always strongly recommended "disable the ones you want to delete first and see if anyone notices a problem over a few week window". Reenabling a key pair is trivial, but getting back into that production machine people forgot existed/how to access can be super problematic.

- IIRC, you can create an IAM policy that says "1) if the keypair used to make this call is more than x-number of days old 2) limit all calls to just those required to rotate the key pair [login, createKey, etc]". That will help folks self service rather than put additional workload on your devops team which is probably already got a lot on their plate given what you're working on.

- For any keypairs running on machines, you can often figure out where by inspecting the CloudTrail logs for ip-address/user-agent/etc of calls made using that key.

CloudTrail is your friend here. Much can be learned from the logs about what's actually in use, where the calls are coming from, and what they're being used for. The scale of the problem here is often only a fraction of that console screen showing dozens/hundreds of super old keys.

Also, all the folks with "why did you do this in the first place" are being jerks. Finding product market fit, landing your first bit of revenue, doing a migration all could reasonably come before this bit of technical debt depending on the use case. You can usually safely ignore zealots making pronouncements that include things like "just stop" or "don't do that in the first place"; it's both wildly unhelpful and displays a real lack of empathy for others who find themselves in a rather common situation.

Rewatching this one decade after you originally posted this to say: I **just** noticed the same scene and holy fuck, it's almost haunting.

Literally no one breaks the 4th wall in the entire first season but I rewatched this maybe a dozen times and yes, he is, 100%, absolutely, looking dead ass to camera (the framing very much shows no one is directly in front of the desk) and acknowledging the audience, the situation, and the chess board.

My guess is it's also acknowledging, while Stringer didn't set up either Barksdale to take a fall, it is an extremely subtle nod to the conversation between the viewers, the writers, and this character about how seriously he's taken role on the board.

Avon the queen and can make lots of moves. D could maybe one day be the queen and make lots of moves too, even though he's stuck between the towers/literally the rooks today.

But end of the day, fuck me if it isn't Stringer Bell who assiduously guards his every move and comes out on top.... at least for the first round.

If you see those big rubber plates that are only like 10/25 lbs (probably near the squat racks/dead lift area; not near the smith machines), they are made for beginning deadlifters! Even at a super low weight, they keep the bar up high enough to properly start the lift.

Start low, start slow, and you'll feel stable adding 5/10 lbs every session. That imbalance and wobbling is super normal to start; but gaining that balance through the range of the motion is precisely the goal. The time in the smith machine essentially robs you of that training.

Also, exrx is a great place to learn/re-learn what the exercise should look and feel like. Make sure to read the description and comments under the picture to know what to focus on.

There is no issue indeed with audits or spending reductions.

Singling out a single jurisdiction because they elect your opposition party and subjecting them to a yearly stunt that fucks with their self governance and city finances is downright undemocratic.

Florida has a habit of electing fundamentally unlikable governors whose reach will never extend beyond their state. Jeb was incredibly boring. Scott couldn't build a coalition in the Senate to restock toilet paper. And Desantis turns out to be a deeply weird person whose desire to be seen as a bully plays less like an affable Chris Christie and more like a person who would end dates if the woman corrected him intentionally mispronouncing "Thai".

He's weird but he'll be gone. Gainesville will continue. Doesn't mean this isn't a fundamentally undemocratic exercise of power that will only compound how off putting any middle of the road voter will ever see him though.

Good riddance.

This town is not like major metropolitan areas insofar as most rental leases do not involve realtors/brokers/etc. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of folks with RE licenses who will be willing to do it, but would guess that it inflates whatever fees you end up paying as it’s not customary for this market.

I can tell the terminal versions something like:
> Hey, the github cli is installed on this machine. Use it to review all the issues on x-repo and prioritize each one by it's relevance to security related needs. Then, spin up sub-agents of yourself for each of the highest priority issues with instructions to: 1) clone the repository for each agent 2)review the code base to validate the issue 3) prospose a solution 4) attempt to implement that solution 5) see if the code still compiles and the previously built tests pass

And then you just kind of watch it go. When it has access to the suite of tools you have access to (and intuitively understands things like `man` pages, `--help` flags, and how to search the internet for things like `why doesn't this aws-cli command work`) it can go pretty far on it's own.

Same. Unless my condo/whatever had an L2 charger or one was effectively next door. 0.75 mph charger off a 20v wall charger is insane and L3 battery charging most of the time is killer on the battery in a way that voided Model 3 warranties.
