Appreciate the compliment!
I’m seeing many older people in the workforce experience the same thing. I think people will be very frustrated with how hard turning their brains back on will be after leaving them idle for so long
From what I can tell it’s just a browser that falls for phishing scams on your behalf
The opposite also annoys me, where slop slurpers try to drop arguments like “well the ghosts in pac man actually used AI!” as if it were some kind of huge gotcha
Like nice try but no, the slop coming from the unzipped pants of these tech bros is in fact not the same as “computers in general”. Although to be honest I think everything after oil lamps has basically been “magic” to a huge chunk of the population so I understand why their scummy marketing is so effective

Is audiophile bullshit cheating?
The people actually making the music: I mastered this album with the $100 audio technica headphones and checked if it sounded good in my car
Self proclaimed audiophiles listening to that same music: for about twenty thousand dollars you can get a basic setup, sure. But to really understand the artist’s intention you need at least a hundred grand

He and RFK should both be impeached for their pull-up technique
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?

I was told it was included
It’s actually gnu/ussy
sixteen minutes of fame
To be fair, she’s more famous now than the vast majority of NASA employees
Am I reading this right, they’re just handwaving away the environmental impact because they claim their contribution to renewables outweighs the AI?
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?
My tag for them is “Biologist Whisperer”, I like yours better tho lmao. I can only imagine the context
It’s comedic actually, your “literally all of biology” is exposed as being an indefensible fringe whack job, and you hand wave it away without further comment. I guess this was always the road you were destined to take, as with all pseudo-intellectual hucksters who are incapable of providing receipts
As for your continued inflexible adamance that there are perfectly binary biological absolutes, you are almost too dense to believe lol. They even have a graph that explains it for you. I can appreciate the low effort nature of how you are trying to save face with ctrl+f, but at some point scientific integrity demands you actually sit down to understand a topic, rather than just draw transphobic constellations over individual sentences
Since we are apparently moving now to our closing arguments by addressing our readers, against all odds, we have ended up in agreement. I also encourage readers to go check out the drivel you posted for themselves. The morons seeking a safe space in their little right wing echo chamber will be thrilled to hear their beliefs uncritically asserted at them, and anyone with a brain will be equally amused at how badly the author humiliates himself both in the paper and elsewhere online.
I’m glad we were able to conclude things so amicably, enjoy your holiday weekend (if you happen to be an American)!
Most humiliating trash I’ve ever read, thank you! A ridiculous and indecipherable attempt at science. He randomly states nonsense circular reasoning without citation, and he also frequently cites random non-scientific opinion fluff articles from transphobes. How bizarre.
Ah, and wouldn’t you know it. The author is an explicitly transphobic right wing podcaster, who prattles on endlessly about the “social contagion” of “transgenderism” and cries like a little baby about how he has been “unfairly” excluded from the broader scientific community.
In conclusion - because you may need this spelled out for you - a single error ridden opinion piece by a discredited loser does not invalidate the overwhelming consensus of experts. By literal whining self proclamation his views are unrepresentative of the consensus of experts.
My intuition was obviously correct all along, but thank you for proving definitively that your views amount to nothing more than 100% science themed transphobic propaganda.
Where are you sourcing that from?
Literally the meta analysis I already linked. The consensus of experts is that gametes are bimodal. You should try listening to scientists if you care so much about science lol
Outside? Like where kidnappers live? No thanks, I’d rather protect my children by absolutely minimizing their in-person social interactions and exposing them to as much corporate media as possible
