Anyone else remember YTMND?

But how do animals without homes learn to cook their meat?

DrMango ,

That's what kills me. This guy could have lived out the rest of his days banging pornstars and defrauding investors and no one would have raised an eyebrow until the posthumous Netflix documentary, but no, he had to go and accept the most public job in the country.

He chose this.

I hear FaceTime used more generically than Zoom (for mobile video chat)

The OP is intended to describe FF7 but tbh it also applies to 13, 12, 10 (although you're taking down megareligion instead of megacorporation), and possibly also 8 and 9 which I haven't played but have confirmed with light research that there are furries

He just twirls a few long strands on the top of his head like spaghetti every morning then hair sprays the crap out of it

Around $440MM if you throw in the $83MM he owes in that recent defamation suit

Stopped drinking my calories (alcohol, juice, soda, etc.) and fell in love with running.

DrMango ,

The first thing you said here is pretty spot on for me. Losing weight is largely a psychological battle, so giving people a simple task list doesn't always work.

What we need to understand is that "losing weight" goes against our biological programming. We have evolved over millenia to crave carbohydrates (sugars) and fats because they are ready sources of energy, and to only undertake strenuous physical activity if absolutely necessary. In developed nations today neither of these leads to very healthy living, so we need to actively fight against our reptile brains to stay healthy.

As you said, consistency is key. You don't get healthy by working out 9 hours one day only and eating salad for a week, you get healthy by making small, manageable healthy choices every day.

Try doing a little more exercise this week than you did last week. You can increase time, intensity, or frequency of whatever your chosen activity is. Try deprogramming your need for ultra-sweet foods by limiting your sugar intake and always try to consume fiber with your sugars (raw fruits are great for this.)

Little by little you will see beneficial changes

The Man Show was on air for 6 consecutive seasons starting in 1999. Their premier episode featured Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel sitting outside trying to get people to sign a petition to end women's suffrage (as a joke, bro. Obviously it's a joke!)

Gentle reminder that while the military does have need for combat personnel there are many veterans who did not see combat during their enlistment and were employed in any number of important technical roles. The military needs office workers, too

I can see why there is confusion and outrage, given that Funimation used the exact word "forever."

DrMango ,

Not malware, just ad revenue generators. Although I guess this depends on how widely you define "malware" since many of them are probably scraping, at a minimum, usage statistics while you play and possibly also device data and who knows what else.

You get 1-2 minutes of gameplay in between each ad and all of the "levels" are probably generated once by a program (rather than a human actually designing the level layout/challenges) to minimize startup costs. I'd be willing to bet that if you traced the ownership structures for the types of games the OP is talking about you'd find a handful of megacorps owning hundreds of them and just reusing assets and programming as well.

Then of course there's the sinister preying on your psychology in subtle ways to keep you invested just enough to sit through the ad the play the next level.

These guys are doing agile better than any team I've ever worked with...

People told me "oh yeah, gaming on Linux is a comparable or even better experience compared with gaming on windows." Well after a whole weekend spent troubleshooting and trying different distros only to get 20fps max and no controller support for a 5 year old pc game I went back to windows and was playing within about 30 minutes including the time to install the OS.

Edit: Before you go giving me tips: yes, I tried that too. You're missing the point if your solution to the above is "more troubleshooting, I guess."

Stream it on Twitch then

ThinkPad is now Lenovo just FYI. They were acquired some years ago and now Lenovo makes and sells the ThinkPad line of hardware

Don't forget twice-impeached accused rapist

Boomers won’t part with their homes, and that’s a problem for young families ( www.cnn.com )

Buying a family-sized home with three or more bedrooms used to be manageable for young people with children. But with home prices climbing faster than wages, mortgage rates still close to 23-year highs and a shortage of homes nationwide, many Millennials with kids can’t afford it. And Gen Z adults with kids? Even harder....

DrMango ,

Not sure how common this is nationally, but around here it's also common for the older generation to maintain two properties a "home" in the city/metro area near their kids or grandkids and a "cabin" which is literally a second home somewhere else.

I think it'd be great to give up the home in the metro and downsize to a condo or apartment, but that's just me.

DrMango ,

Yes. Just got back from the pediatrician and the take home handout said (again) not to feed your kid juice as there's little to no nutritional value and a butt load of sugar

DrMango OP ,

It certainly is for audiobooks! This experience has been enough to make me go back to my other methods for listening.

Red flag collectors are in for a great year

I got Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance. Not something I would have picked up for myself, but I'm finding some interesting nuggets of information within

New Study: How Often Should You Exercise for Optimal Benefits? ( www.theinnovativehorizon.com )

Edith Cowan University research revealed that muscle strength benefits are seen with consistent, short exercise sessions. Participants performing a three-second eccentric bicep contraction thrice weekly saw strength improvements. Daily 20-minute exercises might be more beneficial than a single 2-hour weekly session. Regularity,...

DrMango ,

While this is true, it is not the reason.

Your body gets stronger during the recovery period AFTER exercise, not during the exercise (technically). During recovery your body builds back a little stronger than before the exercise so that you're more capable of handling the same effort next time. After your body has had time to recover, you start detraining slowly.

Keeping your body in a more consistent state of recovery (within reason, you don't want to overdo it of course) is more beneficial than allowing your body time to fully recover and then slide back a bit before your next effort. So moderate exercise more regularly can be said to be more beneficial because you have just enough time to recover with minimal backsliding.

Note: I've simplified and left a LOT of science out of this explanation in the interest of brevity. Please don't come for me. I'm just a guy who likes to exercise and learn about exercise.

Running.

Was supposed to be the cheapest way to get exercise. You can do it right from your front door, no gym subscriptions, no specialized equipment (some people will tell you you don't even need shoes), and it's far and away the best time-value exercise I've ever found. You can get away with like 20 minutes 3-4 times a week and be doing great.

Well, turns out I love running and I love distance running so I'm now putting up enough miles to need new shoes 2-3 times a year, a nice Garmin smart watch and heart rate monitor to track my progress, sign-ups for several long-distance races each year, shorts, socks, you get the picture.

Could I do it cheaper? Yeah. But at the end of the day it's a hobby and I like it

DrMango ,

Finish marathon

Legs on fire

Garmin says you only ran 25.6 miles

Have to run another half mile at race pace (so you don't ruin your stats) to make sure you get credit for a marathon

DrMango ,

I don't know where else to go.

The best thing about reddit for me was an endless stream of information and news propped up by user discussion. I rarely just scrolled endlessly through posts; I loved delving into comments on posts which didn't even interest me at face value to see what I could learn from niche communities.

It was, hands down, the best, most information dense landscape I've ever seen and frankly I feel a little lost without it. I hope that some day, some where I can find something similar.

DrMango ,

I saw a post about a community created here called "pixel passport" which I thought was a hell of a lot better that "earth porn."
