Just don't think of it as a diet or oppressive. Make it a lifestyle. I'm still around 220 after 11 years of mostly stuck in bed. 16 years ago I was 350. A part of me wishes I was still 190 at 7%, but it is super hard for me to get that low. I just don't have that kind of pain tolerance to deal with being light headed and hungry 24/7 while counting calories, eating constantly, but never meals or more than a few bites of dry salad or chicken. Without racing and riding like 400+ miles a week, I'm just not that kind of motivated. I'd much rather be lazy and eat meals with way too many calories at once but still far fewer than most people. I have no desire to binge or eat processed food of any kind any more. Avoiding dairy has also been super helpful too because that is a good excuse to avoid most junk people make, fast food, or restaurants the few chances I ever get.
The reason these areas are monetized is because wealth is inherited. This is not a meritocratic system. Business acumen is not hereditary. The only sure investment for the grossly incompetent is through exploitation. Limit inheritance to $100m max without any loopholes and you change the world.
Freeze all rent where it is now with legal forfeiture of unmaintained property to tenants when not maintained to standard. In a decade, housing will be affordable.
The halfwit rhetoric about workers not being competitive or wanting to work is propaganda garbage. The cost of living is due to corrupt mismanagement of banking, housing, and supply chains. The quality of life in a major Chinese city is far better than the USA. Propaganda focuses narratives about rural poverty in China when the exact same narrative is actually worse conditions in the USA in places like Mississippi, West Virginia, North Dakota, Wyoming, or New Mexico just to pick some random corners of low hanging fruit. There are around 700,000 feral subhuman primates roaming in the wild and disenfranchised, oppressed, and murdered by US core ethics, morals, politics, and culture.
Imbeciles claim this is some welfare state, when in reality there are many more feral humans than any time in the last few centuries. Those claiming it is a welfare state or those supporting that narrative never have balanced or researched sources. The spurious narrative is driven by mob-type populist stupidity.
No problems will ever get solved when people fail to adequately disconnect from the media vomit long enough to think for themselves and mull over their independent ethics to the point of actionable change.

You might be surprised about places other than SoCal and NY NY. Like growing up in Tennessee Alabama and Georgia, everyone seemed to have some affiliation. The level of engagement varied, but I never met someone that was an openly staunch atheist in real life. There is a deep stigma about such a thing in the South, - sadly. There, even extremists like Church of God are nominalized (screaming you're going to hell for an hour, exorcism/miracle drama nonsense, mobbing behaviors, religious masochism).
It is likely one would need to be second or third generation removed from and religious social support network in a family unit before a person would truly answer atheist on such a poll. I don't think many people grow to the point of self awareness to care to define an anti religious god certainty at this stage in human cultural evolution.
Walls are too thin for a bottle and with the cut for r&i I would expect it to have issues at the seam. Even with this, the seam requires holding until it starts to get touching contact. Maybe if the bottle is extended past the 45°-50° tangent it would do a little better but then it has drop potential, especially with this PC/ABS blend and no part fan in an enclosure.
This has been through many days of iterations and designs. Most involved over center mechanisms or wheel levers before this design dawned on me. The bottom right is how it prints. The "spring" is a double forked 10mm bridge in the last few millimeters inside the enclosed print. The visible "clamp" is connected to the spring by forking into two paths that branch beside the tube that the spade terminal is inserted through. The clamping force is not great but it is sufficient for a reliable basic electrical connection for bench testing. The pictured driver is a very small tweeter and is barely held in place with both wires inserted between the print and spade terminal.
I wanted something that would fit on the faceplate of the little hacked audio amp enclosure I have been designing. I think 6 of these will barely fit across the front and under the actual circuit board assembly.
This one might be worth the hassle of setting up an account and sharing on printables if it does not require the goggle server connection like it did in the past when I tried.
The thing is, I dial in my prints to 0.3mm clearances and this absolutely requires that clearance. I do not care to print other people's designs because most are really terrible for things like supports, designing for 3d printing, clearances, and general slop. I'll occasionally toss someone else's STEP or STL in FreeCAD and rebuild the thing but I usually just use some conceptual idea of anything I see elsewhere. I think with this one, I could share it as a negative Boolean STEP file to be most useful. Then it would only require others to import and do a boolean cut operation to use the design. Maybe I will do so if it works out well in my enclosure with 6 of these all resolving well and functional. What do you think, would you ever care to find and print something like this in one of your designs? Do you think anyone would even understand the value of printing such fundamental componentry instead of buying hardware and gluing it together with a 3d printed design? Like, this could easily be configured to use a loop of solid core copper wire as the connector terminal for a low voltage bench power supply that requires no other hardware.
Also, I had a rather irritating encounter with Dessalines (the Lemmy Dev) on ML a few days ago. I want to move off of Lemmy but I kinda like the rest of you, so maybe piefed is an option. I haven't looked into it deeply as I thought rust was worth supporting more, however empowering these guys as authoritarians is not on my list. I'm in a position to move this community if people want but like I always say, I'm just the janitor here. I do not matter. I would just as soon give this place to someone else if that is best for the community. I only want what is best for all, which is probably stability first and foremost, but if you feel otherwise, maybe mention it, maybe we'll make it happen.
Found out about this website from today's Geology Hub uploaded on YT

This crystal doubles images, meaning that if you look through it that anything on the other side whether that be text, a person, or a photo of a volcano will appear to be doubled. But, why does this unusual optical property occur when utilizing a crystal of calcite? The answer is a fascinating phenomenon known as birefringence, which this video will explain through the expertise and analysis of a geologist.
This is the about-page of which text continues past the posted image on the left side:

Here is the link to the discussion groups page pictured:

And as a further aside, the image was made with an F-Droid app that is new to me but popped up 3 months ago apparently and has a lot of great features for stitching images and creating content:
0.25mm nozzle, clear PETG, Prusa, 6mm standard headphone jack, upcycled broken bluetooth headphones, three times larger battery, snap fit with no hardware, FreeCAD, 2nd print iteration, listening to it now, no tricks - it holds together firmly and is usable and actually sounds better than the original by a long shot from better headphone drivers I guess or proper soldering, oh and power button built into the flex of the design, OC only posted on Lemmy

Stupidity Epidemic? Are critical thinking, intelligence and civility on the decline?
Dude is not getting the views his content deserves for the quality and questions he asks and researches.
The info wore off the grip and I do not recall what it was. I think it was a German brand. These have been one of my favorite tools for a decade. The jaws are much more narrow than what is typical for side cutters and these handle like a surgeon's scalpel. Best of all, they can be sharpened many many times. Unfortunately, these are getting close to end of life from all of my sharpening and pivot pin wear. I want to get another set, but I have never been able to figure out the brand to find them again. They were given to me by a tech for a computerized Guru bicycle fit machine we had installed in one of our bike shops in 2012.

I was never a detailer or interior guy, but I painted a lot of cars that went through auctions and used car lots, and I've seen things man, unexplainable things. Not that they lacked potential solutions, but that the questions should never be asked
