So which existing training should we cut to make time for sling practice?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Because you have to learn to use a sling and if you're not good you're much more likely to blow yourself up.

You could probably come up with a more idiot friendly version though some kind of fabric sock where you just launch the whole thing

It's actually worse than you're making it sound.

Supplements are not just less regulated than drugs, they're less regulated than food.

Several of his stories are outright racist though.

How do you go about loving that without acknowledging there are issues?

Lovecraft is problematic for other reasons.

The problem is that what makes his work good is this pathological fear of the other, that he interlinks with xenophobia and notions of racial purity in his fiction.

You can't love the art and hate the author with Lovecraft, you have to accept they're both pretty fucked up.

BMI works quite well for typical people.

Either you do so much more exercise than everyone around you that it's not a good fit for you, or you should take it as a warning sign.

If you think it's muscle and not fat, there's another test that you might like to try instead which is the waist to hip ratio. https://www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio

But if you want an honest appraisal of your fitness, just do a fun run. The shortish runs round a park with a bunch of normal people. Either you can keep up without killing yourself and everything is fine, or you're not as fit as you think.

It gets even mader. If you take one step over the border into England, being topless suddenly becomes legal regardless of gender or birth sex.

however it is not an offence for a man or a woman to be topless in England and Wales, so long as the person has not taken off their clothes with the intention of shocking or upsetting others.

Ovaries everywhere just breathed a sigh of relief.

Tariffs don't work for service roles.

Anything where the output of the job isn't physical, e.g. writing code, designing something, answering a phone, is super hard to track.

This is actually why the US seems to be running a trade deficit with so many countries. Companies like Google, Meta and Amazon take money from all over the world in exchange for services like advertising, and then it eventually gets spent on goods from other countries.

This actually doesn't affect landlords because council tax is charged to people living in the house first, and only to the owner if no one is living there.

This primarily affects second home owners and short term lets, but there's other renting reform coming as well, and this has already dropped house prices, so it's a start.

If LLMs just copied stack overflow they'd respond to every question with "Closed as duplicate. Question already answered."

This is what happens when giant equity funds buy your company. They use any excuse to rip off consumers.
