I’d like to get started as soon as possible, but a lot of places seem to like to wait until the last possible second to send me my information.

I think we’re finally at the point where I should have everything I need, so I guess I should get started.

Fred, is that you?

Also, “lasts”.

You start to realize that there are things approaching that are the last time you’ll see or do something. The last time you visit where you grew up. Last time your kid lived at home. Last car you’ll ever own.

Yeah, the lasts suck.

I remember being in college, and this Onion article gave me a little bit of an existential crisis.

This isn’t so much “hacked” as someone walked through the door they left wide open. They just hid it behind a bush.

My browser says the font used on the site is Latienne Pro.

Is it Latienne Std Regular?

I checked the image with What the Font?

Not OP, but mostly inertia. I have a workflow. I have the programs I need to do what I want. Most of it is stuff I’ve had in place for years. Can I do those things on Linux? Probably, but I’d have to look into it.

That being said, my laptop doesn’t officially support Windows 11, so the Windows 10 EoL in October will probably be the “external force” I need to format my drive and switch. Well done, Microsoft.

OP sounds a little new to all of this, so they might need some elaboration on your terms. Most of the terms are pretty obvious once they are explained, but without clarification, they might be unclear.

I’m going to take a stab at it, but someone please correct me if I get something wrong.

Push/pull are referencing the movement of the exercise. For example, push exercises are ones where the muscle is being used to push the weight, so push-ups/press-ups are a push exercise because you are pushing. Pull exercises, conversely, are like rows, where your muscles are pulling the weight.

As far as I’m aware, bro splits are just focusing on a single muscle group each day/workout session. E.g. Monday: chest, Tuesday: back, Wednesday: legs, etc.

Calorie surplus is, of course, eating more calories than your body uses in a day. You can be at a caloric deficit, caloric maintenance, or caloric surplus, depending on whether you want to lose, maintain, or gain weight. Your body needs more ingredients if it’s going to build more muscle. There are some formulas to give you an idea of your caloric maintenance, but they’re just guidelines. That number is going to vary from person to person, and can change for you over time as you progress.

Training to failure is doing an exercise (with good form!) until you can’t anymore. If you can do a lot of them, you probably need to increase the weight/resistance. One very important thing when training to failure is to keep good form, otherwise you increase the risk of injury. If you can’t do it with good form, that is the point of failure, even if you could do more.

Progressive overload is just gradually increasing the weight, resistance, or reps as you progress. It should be a planned progression, not just deciding in the moment that you could do one more. For example, the first week you might do 3 sets of 10 reps at 100kgs. The next week, you could do 1 set of 11 followed by two sets of 10 at the same weight. Then 2 sets of 11 and 1 set of 10 reps. Eventually, you could drop back to 10 reps, but increase the weight.

If you accidentally do a nazi salute and then someone says “Hey bro, you really shouldn’t do a nazi salute”

I like to think about how a person like that would react if they accidentally “acted gay”. Can you imagine how much they would trip over themselves trying to make sure people knew it was a mistake?

If you don’t have that level of response to being called a Nazi, you’re probably a Nazi.

I understand that this may come across as flippant and possibly condescending, so apologies in advance, but I mean it as a genuine question.

What would it take to break the… inertia?

I imagine you’d move if your chair caught fire, so there must be some line. How low can the bar be set?

Alright. I’m finally hearing enough about pixelfed to start looking into it. Are there any good resources for jumping in?

I see it’s decentralized. Do I just go to pixelfed.org and create an account, or is this like the fediverse where you have to pick an instance to get started?

Edit: for anyone looking, the Pixelfed website has a list of instances, so you can try to find an instance that most appeals to you.

DJI voluntarily created its geofencing feature, so it makes a certain degree of sense that the company would get rid of it now that the US government no longer seems to appreciate its help, is blocking some of its drone imports, calls DJI a “Chinese Military Company,” and has started the countdown clock on a de facto import ban.

“The FAA does not require geofencing from drone manufacturers,” FAA spokesperson Ian Gregor confirms to The Verge.

While I don’t think this is a good change, especially after that drone damaged one of the firefighting planes, it does make sense that they would stop hamstringing their product if it’s not required. I assume consumers will also appreciate not being treated like children, but again… it’s not always a good idea to trust everyone to use common sense.

But then we’d need somebody else to develop calculus

Poor, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz…

Oh, you can get bigger! Just keep adding 0s. It’s fine.

My experience with Whataburger is that the food is mediocre, and if it weren’t for bad service, they’d have no service at all. In fact, there’s one Whataburger that I have failed to eat at twice because no one came to the counter both times I tried.

The person you replied to said

after I had 5 years to freeze dry enough shit to trade for concubines.

and you indicated that your sister would have enough of her own freeze-dried food that she wouldn’t need to trade for it. Thus, she is safe from being OP’s concubine.
