Femicide doesn't get solved with more laws. It's a deep rooted issue which needs education. Proper support for abused people, really investigating and enforcing laws. Providing mental health support.

It's not like the people who are killing women right now are too worried about the existing laws. They do it out of hate and cowardice. Cultural expectations, mental health issues. And just because "they can".

But really. Support for women before they are killed. In many cases, the signs show way before and the abusers are let go with just a warning.

By the way, even if you don't remember if you got smallpox as a child, vaccinate now against shingles!

Yes, there is a vaccine and based on people who have shingles, you really don't want to get it.

I was just following the rants but I couldn't let this pass.

I agree that China will be the next power. In fact, I like China and have many Chinese friends. Been there and I may visit again.

With that out of the way, calling someone racist and at the same time calling them rabid dogs is next level ironic. Do some self introspection.

You seem unhinged.

(I hope you understood all the words)

That's not being argumentative. That's being responsible before spreading it. I'm sure the person you replied to confirmed and has the credible sources handy. Right? right?

The timing of this post is almost comical.

Maybe a bunch of lemmytors read it and went to try, resulting in an unexpected volume.

Why does it need to go on mass production? OP explained they want to get to a point where they share their design.

I keep repeating the same about Linux and other free software projects. The main goal is freedom, not market share.

OPs project seems to follow the same goals. And I find it awesome.

I'd send them to the builder if my beach house to finally finish, but in sure he'll still ask for more.

For me:

  • Better auto complete.
  • Better scripting language
  • Easier to create built in functions
  • Nicer prompt configuration

There may be some others but I find Bash clumsy (or maybe I'm just clumsy in bash) when I need to use it.

The reason of the confusion is clear.

The US propaganda has always equated Communism and totalitarianism.

It is bonkers that people in the USA cannot distinguish between an economic system and a political system.

Those two are distinct things. True communism is very democratic. But reading the Communist manifesto is heretic in the US and you are left with what your leaders tell you.

The Russian Revolution was communist but the USSR was never communist.

Right wing totalitarian dictators also use starvation of their own people as means of control.

What you are experiencing in the US is totalitarianism and while it hasn't gotten to USSR levels, it is going on that direction.

Food for thought: study the political system in China, you'd be surprised how it's actually more democratic than the current USA. Yes, the CCP controls the nominations. Now, tell me if there is true plurality in the US, two right wing parties selecting their candidates without any real popular input.

Really you've been bamboozled to think there is real democracy in the US.

What i did in my last road trip (19 months) was:

  • Configure the camera to record in 1 minute segments
  • I wrote a script to use ffmpeg concatenate all the videos for a particular day while accelerating them e.g. 8x

It's still a large amount of data but I can remember my trip day by day throughout 49,000 Km. (Well, less than that because I wrote the script half way)

 

There have been several occasions where I've wished I knew how to weld.

Now that I have the time and want to replace/fix the rocker panels in my van I found a 3 hour course to learn to weld. https://www.les-affutes.ca/en/workshops/welding/the-fundamentals-of-electrode-welding/

Do you have any particular recommendations other than the broad "practice, practice"?

(By the way I see that there has been much activity in this sub but I also know that the only way of having activity is posting)

 

I see so many people claiming that windows is crap and that's why they moved to Linux.

That got me thinking: I can no longer have an opinion in the matter. I haven't used Windows at home since 2004. I used it at work until the beginning of 2019 but someone else maintained it, since then, I haven't had the need to touch windows.

Whether good or bad, I feel I'm not as knowledgeable as I was.

Well, actually, two years ago I cleaned up and "revived" my dad's desktop which was taking two minutes to boot and about the same time to open the first app. After installing an SSD and a couple of hours of clean-up, it was as fast as new. I guess with proper maintenance it can be good enough. However, isn't it the main criticism about Linux? That you "need to know" to use it?

People complain about Linux drivers, but as far as I remember, it was quite common that new versions of Windows dropped old drivers and your perfectly good printer/scanner/video card/etc. became a paperweight. Is that still the case?

 

It seems that CK message got to me. Somehow, I don't feel empathy.

Have you reflected on that? The less empathy you feel, the more you are honouring his memory.

And the more you celebrate the way he died, the more his message stays true.

Weird. This started as a shitpost and then got serious.

I chose to try to feel empathy for his children and still denounce gun violence and lack of action to stop it.

 

170 cm, 70 Kg 57, years old.

The ideal weight for my parameters is 54Kg - 72 Kg

I've like to get to the lower end of my ideal weight but if not at least 62 Kg. I want lean muscle, not bulky muscles.

I've cut bread and processed sugars. I'm sure that I'm in a caloric deficit. Eating more raw fruits and fibrous food like beans, more fish and less meat and fats. I sleep well. I drink a lot of water. No pop or coffee. Very little milk.

For snacks about 1/2 cup mixed nuts and one or two stalks of celery with a spoon of light ranch (25 calories per spoon)

I'm following my regular daily exercise routine, I go to the rock climbing gym Three times per week for two hours. I bike everywhere. After exercise in the morning I replace breakfast with a protein supplement.

I started mid July at +74 Kg which is the same weight I've had for years.

The first four weeks I lost 4 Kg. The only change, since then, the only change has been to increase exercise.

For the past week the weight has fluctuated between 69.2 to 69.8.

Is it normal for weight to plateau? Is it the increase of muscle mass which may be balancing other weight loss? Should I be more patient?
