I think he might have actually been in the Pelosi boudoir handing out a length sentence before this went down.

In a past life I took a bunch of physiology and advanced physiology courses at uni, as well as epidemiology/ population health focused courses and worked with a lot of people on their overall health and fitness. There are so many good reasons to make time for cardio. Ignoring calories for a minute, it has an overwhelmingly positive effect on mental health and wellbeing as well as significantly reducing disability adjusted life years, maintaining balance and strength into old age and reducing the risk and severity of falls as well as a host of cardiovascular diseases.

Heavy cardio also has a startlingly fast positive impact on the visual appearance of your body even in caloric balance, which can go a long way towards keeping you motivated with any dietary changes you may be making.

Having said all that, I find that for those who are just starting their fitness/weight loss journey cardio exercise can set off an absolute rocket of hunger that can potentially undo a lot of good work. I know for me, that hunger after a really hard run can far outweigh the calories I have just burned on that run.

For sedentary individuals just coming to the table, I had way more success in terms of both results and adherence by using programs where the cardio component kicked off with fast paced walking or hill walking for many months before trying to introduce running, swimming or other forms of higher intensity exercise. All of this backed up by a solid resistance training program.

Once you are starting to see concerete progress towards your goals with something as easy as WALKING and a few weights multiple times per week it’s way easier to stay on track once the hunger kicks in after your first few runs.

The battle is real.

No thank you. Startallisback to the rescue. Ghost spectre to remove whatever bullshit they put in this time.

I’m not against progress, I just prefer my computer to leave the thinking to me.

That’s certainly a factor, but I think it has far more to do with availability of content.

I can afford to buy a proper VR setup but I do not see it as a worthwhile investment because practically none of the content available is of interest to me.

It’s the equivalent of dropping 2K+ to play mobile games.

Until AAA studios are actively developing for this hardware, I’m not interested…but they won’t because barely anyone has the hardware. It’s a real chicken and egg scenario.

I have embraced all the good parts of Windows 11. I will continue to cut out the telemetry and other creepy elements like the cancer that it is.

Heeeere we are, born to be kings!

Man, I haven’t been excited about some media for quite a while. Two of my favourite things, Cavill and Highlander!

If you are aware of this issue, it is your obligation to tell all of your friends, family, associates and coworkers to stop using Chrome immediately, and try out a new search engine.

It’s the least you can do.

This behaviour by Google is not going to stop. The mask has slipped too many times. They have become the very thing they swore to destroy.

Not many people will be ready to de Google their phones and stop buying their products. It’s the little things that will hurt them the most and show they’ve stepped over a line this last year or so.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

I got 6mm! Most I’ve had for months.

Newsgroups are bloody horrific unless you are picking things up the very second that they’re released.

Everything gets DMCA takedown strikes extremely quickly and goes missing. You might get lucky and put it together with repair files etc but I have all but given up on it. You need a lightning fast connection and radarr/ sonarr set up to grab things you MIGHT be interested in automatically or it’s a total wash.

Sorry about the grainy, difficult to read image. I am on mobile and couldn’t find a better version right now.

I think you might have misunderstood one of the primary internet rules “There are no girls on the internet.”

If you squint, you’ll work it out.

Supercharged FJ cruiser. 280,000km on the clock.

I bloody love it but like yourself the petrol bill is starting to kick my arse.

I had every intention of keeping this thing for the next 10 years but fuel only seems to be going up and up.

I respectfully disagree with you.

When I was 15/16/17 I was in love with my English teacher. It was a beautiful thing and I regret nothing.

If I rode my bike to work, my shift would be over by the time I got there. I’m really starting to like the idea of biking to work.

Are you suggesting we should reinstate the glory of the British empire?

They probably should question them. Even something as seemingly benign as Paracetamol is not without its issues if used too often, or after alcohol. It can do serious harm. Most medicine can.

Another fun medicine fact. Australia banned the sale of pseudoephedrine from store shelves quite some years ago to try and reduce domestic amphetamine production. Ever since, all of the major pharma brands have sold phenylephrine based cold and flu medicine as a replacement. Our Therapeutic Goods Administration recently found that this preparation is no better than placebo. We’re talking about a billion dollar industry that has been knowingly selling snake oil for ten years.

I guess what I’m saying is a healthy dose of skepticism and knowledge seeking should be applied to anything you are putting in your body or exchanging money for. The pharmaceutical industry are not saints. They’re just as driven by profit incentives as every other business.

According to the documentary Hell on Wheels it was mostly built by a man named Cullen Bohannon with his own hands. When he got tired, he used some Chinamen and I think maybe a woman dressed as a man for a stretch.

It was when Cullen Bohannon single handedly constructed the Union Pacific Railroad in 1865.

Most of these guides seem to go like this:

Start with testosterone enanthate powder… right. If I could get hold of that I’d be more than half way there already.
