I was gonna say 9 as well, but I only remember the Coheed and Cambria trailer

Genuinely, is this rage bait?

$100, non replaceable battery, does absolutely nothing besides stream audio recordings to an llm on your phone that is 100% guaranteed to produce a worthless error ridden transcript,

and my personal favorite,

Unlike recording notes with a phone or smartwatch, you don’t need both hands to create voice notes with the Index.

Is this a joke? Why do I need both hands to record a voice note with a phone?

It’s actually gnu/ussy

sixteen minutes of fame

To be fair, she’s more famous now than the vast majority of NASA employees

That all makes a ton of sense, thank you. Yeah I figured it had to be some type of stylistic nod but that’s funny it originated from organic typos which continue to happen

Gesundheit!

I’ve actually noticed this is a pervasive trend with top/bottom text memes. Where the final word of the top line is repeated as the first word of the bottom line. I’ve been curious about where it comes from but have no idea what to search or who to ask

You just gotta be careful. Megacorps will drop prices to take advantage of the exact logic you’ve laid out. On an individual day you’re gonna save money on an individual purchase with them, sure.

But once the local place goes out of business, suddenly there isn’t anyone for them to undercut, so the prices creep back up.

Then you’re in the exact same situation as before, usually a bit worse. Except, before, the money you spent at the local business would mostly recirculate within your actual community. Now it’s being siphoned off into some yacht measuring contest. Local wages go down because people need to take jobs at the big companies, which then reinforces the “every dollar counts” problem, making it ever harder for your community to reverse course.

This gets worse and worse until the corpos eventually abandon your community. So you used to have a local grocer, then corpo drives them out of business, then corpo shutters the location for poor performance. Now you live in a food desert

The dream of all vampires is to keep you barely alive enough to be fed on. They go to extreme lengths to control the narrative around this so instead of seeing vampires actively trying to enthrall us we see them more as a friendly, convenient way to help make ends meet. But convincing us that shopping local is a burdensome act of charity is their first line of attack

Wow this looks incredible actually! Definitely giving it a go, thank you

I will take this opportunity to recommend Crosscode, one of the best action RPGs of all time according to 90% of people who play it.

But yeah even amazing games like that fly under people’s radar in the huge deluge of games. I wish it were easier for good games to find their audience

Am I reading this right, they’re just handwaving away the environmental impact because they claim their contribution to renewables outweighs the AI?

Not sure what you mean? Search works today to find the setting that was screenshotted today, of this there can be no doubt, but I’m talking about two years from now when they rename it to “Unified Marketing” and relocate the setting to “Continuity”

Thank you! The following negativity isn’t directed at you in any way, because this is very helpful (for now).

But something that annoys me about apple is they like, move settings around constantly and change the names of settings. So if you’re having some issue, guides like this with specific detailed instructions end up outdated and lead to dead ends, and not even the search function helps. Almost every issue I have I end up having to look up a second guide on how to find the modern location for whatever toggle I need lol

The problem is that people scroll at work and in public. Regardless of what we as individuals enjoy, proper tagging just helps everyone browse responsibly

Right on! Best of luck to you

Again no pressure or expectations or anything, just throwing some stuff out there for whoever may be curious - The basic thing with exercise selection is you want to make sure “the big six” are represented somewhere in your routine each week. These are movement patterns, and not specific exercises with specific implements (you could use bodyweight, or dumbbells, or barbells, or a machine, or rig up one of your resistance bands, or a bucket of water, or a big rock, etc.)

The big six are namely:

Horizontal push (like a bench press, or a chest fly, or pushups)

Horizontal pull (like a seated row)

Vertical push (like an overhead press)

Vertical pull (like pull-ups, or lat pulldowns)

Squat (like goblet squats, or lunges)

Hinge (like deadlifts, RDLs, back extensions, or hip thrusts)

There’s really about a thousand ways to set up for each of these! You’ll notice that any “proven” program you find online will have something from each category. You probably also want to add some core (crunches, leg lifts) and some cardio like the other user suggested. Stuff like bicep curls, leg extensions, and other single joint isolation movements are great if you want to focus a particular area. Not a huge priority though if you’re tight on time

The main thing is, whatever the specific exercises you end up going with - you want these movements to be performed safely, but at the same time still be quite challenging, so make sure to carefully check a technique video if you have any doubts. You also want a way to “scale” the movement over time as you get stronger

Rule of thumb is you want to aim for a resistance you can perform at least ten repetitions with, and when you get strong enough to where you can do like 17 or 18 reps then increase the resistance a little bit and start the process over. Most people will notice this process starts to slow down a lot after a year or two - there’s really no pressure to keep chasing higher numbers after this point unless you just really love pushing yourself!

Oh, and you also probably want to perform 2 or 3 sets of each exercise before moving on to the next.

There’s tons of valid ways to progress but this one is pretty foolproof. After a few months, if you’re very confident with a movement pattern you can start using heavier rep ranges like 8-12 or 6-10. Or you can go lighter if it’s more convenient for your setup. Pretty much any rep range works between 5 and 30

And yeah for food basically just get your veggies, reasonable amount of carbs and fats, and shoot for a decent protein goal, usually like 70-100g per day is plenty, it’s okay to go higher though if that feels better. Eat a little more or a little less food overall if you want your weight to go up or down. Be really really really careful with any nutritional suggestions that are more complicated than that. There’s an unlimited amount of scammers out there, unfortunately, who will try to sell you on various schemes

Definitely, yeah you didn’t say anything wrong! I just try to aim for max clarity on the point. I hear frequently from trainees IRL and people on various forums that they thought they didn’t need to train lower body because it was already covered by running or whatever.

It’s become a pet peeve of mine so I try to nip it in the bud whenever possible!

Cardio is good for almost everyone (ramp into it slowly if it’s been many years!). I would note however that while the benefits overlap, they are not the same. I focus my outreach on resistance training (anaerobic exercise) primarily because it’s often overlooked and misunderstood. I would hope nobody walks away from this thinking they can do either resistance training or sessions on an exercise bike and achieve all the same health outcomes

Not sure if you’re genuinely asking at the end there, but you’re probably not doing anything wrong!

As someone who is not a doctor (check with one and go with what they say): you’re at the age where sarcopenia starts accelerating rapidly. And from your description it sounds like the most likely cause for your symptoms. It affects basically everyone so this is somewhat of a safe assumption

The good news is you can pretty much totally reverse all the effects with resistance training and a couple diet changes to support your training. What we’ve found is that many people even up into their 80’s can be restored to strength similar to that of an average (untrained) 30 year old. Which is a supermassive win in terms of quality of life and independence

The bad news is that about 90% of people hear “exercise and eat healthy” and just roll their eyes like it’s a cliché, unobtainable ideal that everyone knows they should do but nobody does. Or they think they are already doing it, but they don’t realize they need resistance training specifically. It’s also common for people to believe they have somehow “missed the boat” on training because they aren’t twenty anymore (I’ve even heard 28 year olds say this).

But the therapeutic dose for training is very attainable. Don’t need to become a gym bro. Don’t need to obsess over gains. Like 2x a week, one hour each, could probably get it done in 40 mins once you really know what you’re doing. And it’s very worth doing, you get back the time investment about tenfold just from the increase in energy

But yeah, just wanted to throw it out there for you or for anybody feeling the same way who might end up thinking they want to give training a chance! For disclosure I am a trainer at a local gym but I don’t have an online service or anything to sell on lemmy. As such I’m happy to answer any questions and offer suggestions on how to get started

Can you elaborate on the coffee soda? Is that just if you mix coffee and soda?
