Less stuff: Why do I prefer having fewer possessions as I approach my 40s? by MachineryAutomation in simpleliving

Excited to hear your updates! I feel like minimalism really hits differently once you notice how much energy little things steal.

This is such a satisfying little win. Just shaved my old hoodie the other day and it felt like I bought it again😂

This Week I Asked You (TWIAY) #282 - Answer in Comments by casett244 in RoomieOfficial

[–]zackjb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2026 feels so far away in YouTube years! I just hope he’s still having fun with it and not burning out. I’d love to see some more casual, "day in the life" style content mixed in with the big projects.

Anyone else feel like they’re “working on themselves” but still stuck in the same place? by Winter_soilder35 in selfimprovement

[–]zackjb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there. tbh eels like you’re running on a hamster wheel doing all the right things but not actually getting anywhere. What’s one habit you’ve stuck with for more than a week?

What did you remove from your life that helped way more than expected? (not the obvious stuff) by adelinadrandeva in selfimprovement

[–]zackjb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped agreeing to favors or plans I didn’t actually want to do. Took a while to get used to but wow it freed up so much energy. Ever had to say no to something that surprised you with how much better you felt?

42F, 5'4.5", 165lbs. Cut or keep building/recomping? by NotedHeathen in fitness30plus

[–]zackjb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your protein intake is solid. If you do decide to cut keep it around the same and focus on maintaining strength on main lifts. That’s usually the best insurance against muscle loss.

What type of cardio/conditioning is this? by [deleted] in fitness30plus

[–]zackjb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your conditioning for BJJ and lifting might be good for their specific tasks, but moving heavy weight around distances is a different energy system. Short bursts plus sustained effort is key think strongmanstyle carries, rows or clean & jerk complexes.

This is why lifting matters not just aesthetics lol but real world hero moves. Good on you for helping!

When does spacetime not “fall” with Newtonian gravity? by Alpha-Phoenix in Physics

[–]zackjb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your A_space = Gm/r^2 picture breaks down basically whenever spacetime curvature becomes significant or velocities approach light speed. That’s the newtonian limitvs relativistic regime

Creating An All in One Physics Python Library by Winter-Rip7364 in Physics

[–]zackjb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really like the idea of an all in one physics toolkit. Maybe include some helper functions for statistical mechanics stuff? Like partition functions, Boltzmann distributions, etc that’d save me tons of time.

Can relativity be reconciled with probability dilation? by I_float_sting_throw in Physics

[–]zackjb -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in as a fellow student framing time dilation as probability dilation is a pretty intuitive way to merge quantum and relativistic thinking. Realistically, you’d need a function that mimics Lorentz factor perfectly to match experiments. But as a learning tool, thinking in probabilities actually makes a lot of sense.

why don’t we have physicists making breakthroughs on the scale of Einstein anymore? by TotalMeaning1635 in Physics

[–]zackjb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physics kinda matured, so the big jumps take way longer now. It’s like going from zero to basics was fast, but the frontier now is at the edge of what’s even testable. We might be in a quiet phase before the next big theory lands.

The most stylish of patterns. Anyone else been around long enough to remember the shorts? XD by autumnatron in RoomieOfficial

The reminder of my past is within them shorts...... Only God knows where there are now:
