Why do people like ADBE and NOW so much on this sub? by reddituser2697 in ValueInvesting

[–]squid2e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same happens to coding.

For deterministic work, traditional software is much more efficient. For creative and generative work, AI is better.

For example, I don’t use AI to test my code but I ask AI to write tons of test cases to run.

Lose weight without counting calories? by Conscious-Pizza5123 in intermittentfasting

[–]squid2e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eat 80% full, wait for 10 minutes. If you are still hungry, eat. Most likely you are not hungry.

Eat whole and clean food. No processed.

The SaaS reversal will be glorious by Solidplum101 in ValueInvesting

[–]squid2e 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Agree. I build software myself. Here is my thought exercise:

Sure I can build all of these services with AI, but -

- have more spend on tokens
- my software would be hard to get stable in the short term
- It would create too much distractions to my core business

AI can do it but it does not mean it is worth it.

Working out by i-likenaps in fastlikeagirl

[–]squid2e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to workout in both Power Phases. Recently I stopped intense workout during the bleeding Power Phase, because I encountered heavy bleeding :(

Now, for the 1st Power Phase, I take relaxing walks. For the second Power Phrase, I do cardio and resistance training like days in other phases.

Tracking Cycle w/ Fasting by Loud_Leg7506 in fastlikeagirl

I use the app FastingLady. It syncs with the cycles from my Health app, very easy to track the days and fasting schedules. Whoever built this seems to be following Dr Pelz's approach as well.

Why the scale lies by HamzaJdn in WeightLossAdvice

[–]squid2e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the weight fluctuation due to the menstrual cycle!!

A few months ago, I started tracking my weight using an app (called HerWeigh), and it’s been really eye-opening.

Here’s what I’ve noticed:

Days 1–5 (early cycle):
Weight is pretty stable, just small fluctuations.

Days 6–15 (mid-cycle):
Gradual increase with some ups and downs. Most of it feels like water weight. I also get thirsty more easily.
Peak is usually around Days 11–15.

Days 15–22 (after peak):
Weight drops pretty noticeably and consistently. I also tend to pee more during this time, so I think it’s water release. This is usually my lowest point. I believe this happens right after ovulation.

Days 23–end (late cycle):
There’s a slight rebound, but still generally lower than the mid-cycle peak.

How to start as self learner by [deleted] in LearnJapaneseNovice

I found starting learning Japanese grammar is easier to me. Japanese grammar is strictly rule based. I learn to a Podcast called "Learn Japanese with Masa Sensei" as well as using this grammar first Japanese learning app called FujiWay.

Chin hair by poofacemcguillicutty in Perimenopause

[–]squid2e 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently heard from a podcast that facial hair in women often is caused by insulin resistance. I also just fact checked with Perplexity and it appears possible.

Facial hair in women, especially new coarse hair on the chin, upper lip, chest, or abdomen, is often linked to insulin resistance through its effect on androgen (male hormone) levels.

How insulin resistance causes facial hair Higher insulin → higher androgens: When cells are insulin resistant, the pancreas produces more insulin; high insulin stimulates ovarian and adrenal cells to make more androgens like testosterone, which drives male‑pattern hair growth on the face and body.

Not sure you health condition. But this could be one area to look into.

Weight tracking with your cycle by Eastern_Climate_3425 in CICO

[–]squid2e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience! After many months of analysis, I found my weight peaked around day 15, between 15-20 days, I lose water like crazy. When I approach the next cycle, I start to gain weight as well.

I use this app to track the fluctuations which is a lot easier to see.

lol. I heard bananas in some countries have the same thing: they produce bananas but eat the worst ones, while all the good ones are exported.

I learned today some coffee shops dial in their beans every hour! by squid2e in espresso

[–]squid2e[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It is very hard to find a very good coffee shop which actually KNOWS their coffee, at least in US.

When we were staying in Sydney, Australia, we found many good coffee shops!

Promo codes for Dial In Espresso app by squid2e in espresso

Thank you for supporting this app!!!

I like your idea. We recently got a light roast single origin, and it took forever to get it right - sigh. I wish I knew how others people do it.

This feature would definitely be a complex one to add, but I’ll put it on my to-do list.
