It’s likely not coincidental that this came post-pandemic - with virtual meetings largely replacing business travel, the business class seats no longer reliably get filled. These seats also paid for basically the whole flight, so airlines are looking to monetize them through alternative means.
I’m honestly not really against this, it doesn’t really matter that much.
Or cars, and most (afaik?) labour was manual.
Another case of Hank’s Razor
I’m convinced doing deadlifts has helped me posturally.
The average person in finance has different flaws than this particular douchebag.
Fuck that rules
Realistically, people aren’t going to attain their goals trying to do a Twinkie CICO diet though, even though it might be theoretically possible.
I wish people would just move on from posting about CICO already, it’s long since outlived its usefulness as a concept
The best form of exercise for you is the form that you actually do consistently week after week. If this means working out at home, then that’s fine. Given that you’re not trying to break any records, this might just be fine for you.
I’ve done many different forms of working throughout the years, one of which was to work out at home/local outdoor gym. I did this because there were no gyms at what I considered to be a reasonable distance from home, and I considered that to be too much of an impediment to actually get the work done consistently.
I did get stronger from it, and used it as a part of losing weight, which I wanted on account of being overweight at that time.
I’ve since stopped doing that routine and moved to lifting weights at a gym, which I considered attainable since I moved to a place with gyms very close by. I did this because working out at home had basically reached a plateau as far as strength was concerned - lifting weights at a gym will get you stronger at a faster pace.
I think checking out the stuff that Hybrid Calisthenics does could be worthwhile for you. Do some stuff at home for now if that feels better for you, and then evaluate later on if it keeps working for you.
Fwiw, that’s not the traditional presentation. The traditional is, from bottom to top:
I’ve never seen one with jam, although people go wild with the variations these days.
No, that’s the wrong sweet baked good - the story goes that he went to town on 14 servings of Hetvägg, the ancestor to the popular Semla.
We eat Semla for Shrove Tuesday in Sweden, which traditionally marked the beginning of the Lent and hence fasting until Easter. Another name for Semla is fastlagsbulle, which roughly translates to “fasting bun”.
Hetvägg is a Semla served on a plate with hot milk.
If you have a Swedish bakery nearby, try seeing if they serve Semla. Or get one when you visit Sweden, if they are in season during your visit.
As others mentioned it’s diminishing returns, but there’s still a lot of good innovation going on in the codec space. As an example - the reduction in the amount of space required for h265 compared to h264 is staggering. Codecs are a special form of black magic.
You might be looking for a handcart. Popular during medieval times, and among Mormon pioneers.
I wholeheartedly support culinarily disrespecting Italians, honestly.
Dudes trying to convince us that they are presenting ancient traditions when their precious dishes are invented in like the 60s
It’s an oversimplification, yes. It’s a deliberate one, designed to be easy to collect at a population-level.
It’s a bit like turning down the resolution a whole lot on an image - you lose details to the point where there’s a whole lot you can no longer tell from the image, but some parts of the whole picture can still be interpreted.
In the case of BMI, this is stuff at a statistical level, the one where you need thousands of people and multiple percentage points to actually be able to tell stuff.
It also actively causes harm on the individual level through healthcare providers and insurance.
I don’t disagree. It’s not made for this purpose and should not be used for it either. A larger solution of getting rid of private health insurance as a system is what I would recommend, of course.
Weight stigma causes worse health outcomes
It’s horrible that this has to be added as a caveat, but I’ll add it anyway:
It’s not ok to be mean to people on account of what they weigh
BMI is only useful at a population-level, and certainly not for athletes.
Most people are not particularly athletic, though.
Hell, I’m kind of leaning towards Sweden needing a nuclear program at this point.
The reason your roads have so many potholes is because where you live likely has too much road infrastructure to support relative to the amount of taxes collected to maintain said infrastructure.
In other words, it’s insolvent.
Heavy on the sauce
