I had a 186 (or possibly an 8088?) in the mid 80s as my first PC. It ran on two low density 5.25" floppy drives, with no internal HD. My uncle bought himself a new HDD and gave me his old 20MB drive. When I was next at the local computer store, I asked how much a 20MB drive costs, and my jaw hit the floor!
Yep, but that's not this idealised place the OP is looking for, where all opinions are to be found. It's just full of hate and bots, giving a very narrow range of "free" speech
There's no such thing. Unrestrained bots make it impossible for human community to sustain itself. Unrestrained hate makes it impossible for a balanced community to be sustained.
What you're looking for will be a site full of bots talking to each other, with the only human presence being hard core bigots.
I'd be ok with just getting rid of nationalism... Nothing wrong with identity, but nationalism fosters an us vs them mentality that fucks over people in most of the world.
It really wasn't. My body fat levels were athlete level low, my heart health was good and my cholesterol's were good. Though I don't know how much of that was related to my running to be fair
That's one of the reasons I ended up eating like trash. Fatty foods are calories dense foods, and that made it easier to get enough calories in a single meal, rather than trying to eat enough food throughout the day that wasn't as calorie dense.
I won't pretend that was the only reason I ate like trash, but it was definitely a part of it
Eh, I look at it more as who you’re going to be telling this to. Someone who is fat and starting exercise is never going to have the endurance to burn off their caloric intake.
It depends on your timing. In 18 months, I went from obese to able to run 5km in under 20 minutes.
It is also the reason why a lot of athletes get fat if they stop exercising since they are used to the trash diets and can no longer burn it off.
And that's exactly what happened to me when I got injured!
I wasn't trying to be pedantic as such. It's just that I found fitness when I was on a path to trying to bring my body fat down to a level I was happier with. I had originally though "losing weight" was healthy, but then I read that being active is more beneficial than losing weight, so I thought I needed to include a bit of fitness training in there.
And then when I started running, to my great surprise, I found out that I loved it, and I kept running. I ended up SUPER SUPER in to running. And one of the things that I discovered was that after a period of trying to watch how much I eat, when my training peaked, I was often struggling to get enough calories to match my burn.
And I often joked to myself back then that if I'd have known I could have outrun my bad diet, I'd have started there :P
But in all seriousness, as you said, it's not possible to sustain. Age, injury, decreased training levels, eventually, something happens and your calorie burn returns to more regular levels, and then you're not outrunning it anymore
Yeah, I looked like a piece of leather wrapped around a stick when I was training that hard. And I pretty much just lived on takeout
And yeah, 10 years later, older, no longer anywhere near that fit, and even as I train for a half marathon, it's hard to shift my weight to where I want it to be for my race
