I have a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop and I love it. I use it for all kinds of dev work running Windows 11 and WSL. It's technically a gaming machine but the appearance is understated. It has a very nice keyboard and the nicest touchpad I've ever used. Also I was looking at Lenovo business laptops to run Linux. In comparison with those, you get so much more for your money with the gaming machine. It's very powerful and expandable, with extra hard-drive and memory slots. Also the display is top notch.
It's just human nature. This is the health equivalent of trying to turn lead into gold. It's my unproven opinion that the negative effects of these treatments are understated and this will be a passing fad.
It would work if people would actually do it. It 100% works. Human nature is such that people would rather take a drug than change their lifestyle. I've done it myself but it requires a complete realignment of lifestyle to make lasting change.
In 2018 I did an Ironman triathlon. Across 2020 and 2021 I cycled over 20,000 miles. I cycled 200 miles on the hottest day of 2022 in the UK. In 2021 I cycled 200 miles in under 12 hours. In 2023 I ran over 10 half marathons. You simply cannot tell me I didn't completely realign my lifestyle or that I'm not determined.
At my lightest in 2023, I weighed 60kg. Currently I weigh over 95kg. I don't know what else people who hold your view can be told to convince them this problem is not one of willpower. I have the capacity to suffer. I've given up smoking. There is no escape from food.
You described a lot of physical activities, but diet controls your weight. It's natural to have more of an appetite with increased activity. It's also normal to increase your weight a bit due to increased muscle mass.
I’m trying to demonstrate that I’m not this ridiculous (and frankly grossly reductive) caricature of the overweight slob. And yet I still struggle with food. So maybe let’s drop that notion altogether, because it’s not at all helpful.
Yup. I lost 70 lbs in 2017, and I ran my first marathon last month. I'm going out to run a half on Sunday because that's just what I do now, it's nothing to go out and enjoy myself for 2 hours. I'm fit, I know how to lose weight, I know how to be in the suck but I know that this coming winter I'm going to have to fight to keep a decent weight as I fight stress and the holidays. The battle never ever stops and it's exhausting.
Another problem is not doing it enough. Walking a couple miles once a week isn't going to do much. You have to make it a habit, part of your routine, and do it every day.
Also not only is your body very efficient at walking/running (losing 10lbs of fat requires an average person to run from SF to LA) there's evidence of a constrained total energy expenditure model. If you try and create a large caloric deficit through exercise you become more efficient at the exercise (so each incremental step costs less calories) and your metabolism slows down (and your NEAT - non exercise activity thermogenesis - levels drop) to conserve energy for you to expend on exercise.
It's 100% real in my experience. I delivered twice the goal my manager set and got a 1% raise. Since then I've scaled my effort way back. Work is a necessity, not a priority.
That's true but let me ask you, why then was Christ crucified? The Bible says to obey all authorities except in spiritual matters over which it (the Bible) claims they have no authority.
History is full of examples, IE the Protestant Reformation, when the Catholic church was insisting that the only way to know God was through a priest, and reformers, who insisted that one could know God without a human authority intervening.
Google is essentially useless. If I really want to find something, I'll try Yandex nowadays. For the most part, I don't even search anymore. I just suffer with sites I've had bookmarked for years. Most of my potential searches are for programming language documentation / APIs etc.
Who do you think the robots are killing? There are countless videos of drones blowing up Ukranian and Russian soldiers. Drones are being used to kill humans.
