Disclaimer: Not Canadian, perhaps I'm projecting :)

Pleas don't mix up uneducated or poor with stupid: without the education necessary and the time to perform a critical cause/effect analysis it's near impossible to do. Only chance is again historic education.

The conservative message is really really easy: "this X is the cause for all your problems!"

And at first glance it's easy to agree: I have a bad job. An immigrant has a better job. Of course they are the cause for me not having a job!

That's the conservatives weapon: they simplify their lies until you need time and effort to see through it - or learn from the past. They make sure that the poor don't have the chance to either and the cycle continues.

Personal note: fuck them. In every country, for every lie for every "policy".

Who would that be in this case?

Do whatever is most comfortable for you :) My opinion!

From your linked article:

"While the term was defined originally to mean "methods and attitudes typical of or attributed to natural scientists", some scholars, as well as political and religious leaders, have also adopted it as a pejorative term with the meaning "an exaggerated trust in the efficacy of the methods of natural science applied to all areas of investigation"

That "worshipping " wording is, by your own sources, a political act.

Pulling a definition out of your arse and then judging a whole group of people based on your made up beliefs... You're not an anarchist, you're a trumpist in decline, pitching people against each others instead of standing up for others.

If your problem with Bitcoin is that it's a made up currency then I have vers bad news about gold for you.

And all other currencies.

That plan is ludicrous for a lot of reasons but you chose to mention the only two that are not it

Yeah exactly.

It's literally your heart that you're training after all!

Your body doesn't really care what drives it into cardio mode from what I know - if incline works for you then don't put Preston you to do what others prefer!

Hey,

Congratulations on deciding to get healthier!

You have one very critical flaw in your train of thought:

All calculations are based on averages or standard humans and so on.

And all calculations you're doing are within 20% of each other, even slight deviations in any of the theoretical figures to your non average body would screw you over.

That means something simple though: no, don't skip cardio. You will get more hungry the higher your calorie deficit would become. And cardio is simply healthy if it's not overdone!

You seem quite similar to myself in so much as you seem to have a very analytical and theory driven approach to things. Here is how you can use that to your advantage: track.

Base all your analytics on true "you" data instead of calculating theoretical figures.

This means heart frequency zones, body fat and muscle percentages.

Heart frequency is a direct proxy for training intensity, the other two for how your body composition changes.

The kcal are just a bonus on top to adjust your total mass. That will follow with a better muscle to fat ratio anyway (usually!).

Good luck! ❤️

That's a common misconception:

a grown-up falling will grab things on chest height. Or if one gets dizzy it's similarly dangerous.

Listen to the person above please: fixate them.

To be fair: it's a low risk but one that can be mitigated with ten minutes of thought and work.

With torrents you're limited to the networks and sources that you have connected. The torrent client search for example is very limited, that's where the trackers come in.

The question is how debris compares to stuff that is not found on public trackers.

An easy test are niche audiobooks or foreign movies - those are quite rare/specialized.

 

Well the title says it already. Is it possible to source an ergonomic keyboard from the EU? After finding the tenth keyboard layout or music keyboard page I'm giving up searching and start asking.

I've found several EU resellers but not yet something really produced locally

Bonus points for split keyboard and being custom flashable (would love native neo2 support).

Thanks for any pointers!

There I can help, well kind of: not a medical advice though!

I highly appreciate the effort you're putting in - and in addition to preparing for everything practice w few communication patterns on how to make them give you the info you need. You won't be prepared enough for some of the shit people come up with, no chance.

S good example could be a set of guided questions or statements they should disagree or agree with.

I'm not medically educated at all so I can't come up with food examples but what I'm trying to say is: prepare at least as well for crazy as you're preparing for hard facts.

And for the drugs I can at least give s language perspective: slang has often very local derivates so while pages Likes these are w good stating point: https://www.addictioncenter.com/drugs/drug-alcohol-slang/ nothing beats a native speaker.

So you could either start a career as drug addict, or if you lack the funds and time, you could reach out to your local social workers and ask them to give a brief slang training wherever you work. From experience many are very happy to help others who get helping!

Just a few ideas, perhaps something resonates with you! Good luck ❤️

Tried it for myself. I'm impressed. Thanks for the find!
