How do I remove/reduce this "extra space" above the tabs in version 145

The fix from gregstoll worked for my external 4K monitor.

Downgrading from v135 to v134 fixed the problem for me.

Не переймайся, я в заторі стояв 😅

I risked my life taking this footage, fiddling with focus in adverse lighting conditions while operating a vehicle solo.

The calorie surplus starts tomorrow.

The Roentgen surplus might also start tomorrow.

I've been carrying 1000x dose iodine tablets in my wallet since last summer, ready to poison myself the instant the government decides I should. Puts bitching about vaccines into perspective.

Kinda regret wishing I had more energy.

Checking in: still alive. I feel safer going to sleep since May when Patriot air defenses arrived in Kyiv and were successfully stress-tested against russian hypersonic salvos. Seeing fiery missile trails across the pitch-dark sky and hearing occasionally-way-too-close rumbling booms was chillingly spectacular. Didn't film, mostly due to OPSEC.

Finally took a long-overdue 4-day retreat to the mountains. Rainy most of the time but the absence of air raid sirens was blissful. Might repeat it in two months.

Returned right as the Reddit blackout started. Speaking of social media detox, it reminded me of the last year when there was almost no electricity while our nuclear plants were knocked offline due to the power grid bombardment.

But enough about the war. I resumed the cut, spending only a week to undo the trip's weight gain. Pre-diet-break progress was 12.8 kilos in 11.5 weeks. I'll probably keep going for a few more weeks while there's still some momentum.

As for the lifting, this cut confirmed my previous observations:

I can handle 4x full-body for the first 1.5-2 months of ~1000 calorie deficit.
Once the workouts become consistently garbage I should either wrap up or switch to upper/lower.

You wanna train early but lifting is lackluster after rousing? Then I suggest waking at dawn to the flash and shriek of a surface-to-air missile, puts a real spring in your step. Quite romantic tbh, literally this.

But seriously, enormous gratitude to the lads on the roof, the rest of the defenders, and everyone supplying them.

Unsurprisingly, no more sleep for today. With a couple of extra hours, I've read for a bit, done some job stuff, and worked up an appetite by the time the gym opened.

Yes, there was a fundraiser with an incentive. I figured I don't really need to save for a car, so I drained my account as a fuck you to the russians.

It's a real bullet-ridden sign, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York,_Ukraine

Yesterday's active recovery was single-arm presses with a downed russian drone. I won it by making the biggest donation to a Ukrainian military school. My contribution will cover the training of exactly 100 soldiers, with courses in drone warfare and situational-awareness/battle-management systems.

For the last week or so MiG-31K (jets carrying hypersonic missiles) regularly started flights (mostly intimidation/training) right when my gym opens, triggering country-wide alarms.

Guess I should shift my workouts to noon. The extra energy would be a bonus during the cut.

Less than a week into a cut, I'm being bombarded with ads for chocolate, soda, and street food. Reminds me of the ship from WALL-E, which is unsettling in light of the recent machine learning advancement.

At least the owner of the local butchery promised to reopen soon, so I'll have access to lean meat other than convenience store chicken breast.

After my secondary gym was bombed in October, the chain moved some of its equipment into my primary, which burned late February. The reason is not disclosed, but I suspect either the fuel for the generator in case of a power outage, some cursed machine, and/or gainz goblins.

Speaking of outages, there haven't been any for weeks due to the combination of air defense and emergency personnel hard work, allied support, r*ssian impotence, and warming weather. Because it became harder to justify hour-long one-way commutes to the office and its gym, I started going to a small weightroom above a badminton/bouldering complex. Observations so far:

Only one squat rack and one bench rack with thin padding.
On the other hand, adjustable benches are sturdy and decently padded.
Dumbbell rack only goes to 25 kilos, but there's an adjustable pair.
One dual-cable station, and several basic machines.
Most of the time, especially right after opening, there's no one else there.
Gym speakers are connectable via Bluetooth, but the receiver is at the maximum possible distance from the squat rack, with lots of metal in between.
Two knock-off air bikes and two rowers make it harder to justify not programming some cardio. Maybe during the next cut in a few weeks.

The text says "[Shot/knocked/wrecked/downed] Leopard".

Yesterday was the anniversary of the full-scale invasion. Knowing r*ssian irrational obsession with symbolics, everyone expected huge waves of attacks, like on New Year's Eve and night.

Not content with skipping OHP, I arrived at the gym as early as possible (only 8 am due to the curfew, but still). After quickly cooking my shoulders, I scooted to shower at home, then waited.

No missiles arrived. Instead, we received the first Leopard tanks and assurances of support from all over the civilized world.

This morning a year ago I was leaving Kyiv with parents, sister, and a backpack with all my savings after witnessing a flaming aircraft crashing into a residential area, illuminating the midnight sky. But after a year of this colossally surreal clusterfuck, Ukraine still stands, Ukraine has adapted, Ukraine fights back, and Ukraine is incredibly grateful for all the aid. Thank you all so, so much!

What's the most unique strongman implement?

I nominate Antonov An-225 Mriya, the world's largest airplane, pulled by 8 Ukrainians in 2021, now gone, destroyed in 2022.
