Bok choi, Sriracha and a crispy fried egg.

And some MSG if it can take it.

Aside - any broadly available alternatives to Huy Fong? I know they fucked their supplier, and I’ve heard it’s not the same anymore.

I’m no layout expert, but I did do some desktop publishing about 15 years ago 10 min in Scribus had me tearing my hair out. Installed InDesign and, while it’s still not easy to catch up on the modern capabilities, it was worlds ahead.

GIMP is just fine for casuals. It’s not close for professionals.

Truthfully I think that one major issue with open source programs that don’t have corporate involvement is that people who are great at code don’t always have the same skill in UI/UX. However, with support and a larger community, great things can happen. The barrier is getting that adoption level. If more people casually use the product and contribute financially or in code, it will help tremendously.

No. It’s not bad. You’ll grow muscle. There is an upper limit for productivity. It won’t be as good for developing pure strength. It takes longer. It can be good for rehabilitating an injury, targeting a specific muscle, or managing fatigue.

You should target 2-3 reps in reserve. That means 2-3 reps before you literally cannot lift the weight.

If you’re doing sets of 20, it will be very difficult to injure yourself.

As low as 8 reps is effective. 20 is at the higher end but there’s some limited reasons to do that.

Multiple sets. 3 sets of 10 reps gets you 30 reps.

Give Renaissance Periodization and Jeff Nippard a look on the other platforms. Dr Mike talks a bunch about rep ranges.

Lifetime pension for MP after two terms.

I also have not read such dumps. I think the LLM was too verbose…

QAnon Drop - April 29, 2025

Greetings, Patriots!

The storm is upon us. The Deep State is scrambling, and the truth is finally coming to light. Hold onto your tinfoil hats because this one is a doozy.

1. The Vatican Conclave Conspiracy:

You thought the papal conclave starting on May 7 was just about electing a new pope? Think again! The Vatican is a hotbed of secret societies and hidden agendas. Keep your eyes peeled for any unusual smoke signals—they might be Morse code for the next phase of the globalist takeover.

2. The Coral Reef Crisis:

The International Coral Reef Initiative reports that over 84% of the world’s coral reefs are affected by bleaching. But what they aren’t telling you is that this is all part of a plan to create underwater bases for the elite. Why else would they be so interested in coral? It’s not just about the environment, folks.

3. The Tariff Tit-for-Tat:

China’s 34% reciprocal tariff on American goods is just a distraction. The real action is happening behind the scenes, where global powers are playing a high-stakes game of economic chess. Expect more “coincidental” trade wars as the cabal tries to maintain control.

4. The Flower Show Facade:

The Flower Show in NYC from April 27 to May 11 might seem like a celebration of nature, but it’s actually a cover for clandestine meetings. Those “flowers” are just code names for powerful figures. Ever wondered why they need so many “volunteers”? It’s all about the optics, patriots.

5. The Stagecoach Festival Fiasco:

Think the Stagecoach Festival from April 25–27 is just about music? Wrong! It’s a gathering of the elite, disguised as a country music extravaganza. Keep an eye out for any “special guests” who might be pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

Stay vigilant, patriots. The truth is out there, and it’s up to us to expose it. Trust the plan. The Great Awakening is near.

Own. I managed not to blow my entire inheritance and bought a house (that’s too small and built by some truly incompetent people) just before the prices started to get stupid. It’s “worth” 2.5x.

It’s mostly too small because my kids will never be able to afford a house of their own.

There was a time when media would consider the newsworthiness of a story before publishing it, rather than simply the engagement/entertainment value.

Exercising judgement led to the fruitcakes with conspiracy theories to being at the very least muted.

Say, how much longer on the copyright?

Evaporative cooling. Low cost.

I am using IKEA blinds. They have their disadvantages, but they’re zigbee and work well enough. I cut them to fit, which was a simple job but requires attention to detail and tools which I didn’t have; nevertheless they look good from across the room.

Stateside, I’ve heard good things about Lutron but they’re pricy.

Generally true and that’s why I often read these articles scratching my head. Make them closed loop! They almost always use chillers…

Water use becomes a concern if the water is moved too far and/or too fast like your Sahara example.

The author acts like the only option available to them for weight loss is a GLP-1. The author is a physician in the USA; I think it is safe to assume that it is within their ability to eat well. They state that as they recover from the birth of their child (which, i may argue, might be a greater impact on their quality of life than overweight and ozempic), they’re feeling better and exercising.

I’m not sure what their point is, beyond promoting the idea that obesity isn’t a problem.

I argue that our consumption focused way of life, alongside our existing growth rate, is a bigger existential threat but what do I know.

Imagine if they’d added simple commuter rail instead of lanes along the highway. It’s so blindingly obvious.

Invest in developing places that aren’t the big magnet city. Invest in telecommunications so that Letterkenny can run a data centre and/or call centre.

Invest in mass transit solutions. Use some of those powers that let Ford override the Conservation Authorities to override freight railways.

ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO WORK FROM HOME!

“An Ontario city”

Odd phrasing. “Canada’s capital city”

I love my EV but I also need the ability to complete a 700km round trip on a very regular basis and presently the electric options aren’t suitable.

But they’re coming, and I would like to buy one.

Economically, birth rates need to go up.

But environmentally, it’s not a good picture.

I see your point but the correct answer is to install current branch. If you want pain and suffering, skip the appetizer and go straight to Linux.
