FAA standard person is 170lbs/77kg. I'm sure the airlines use a better estimate though.

Micro economics: Price will reduce to maximize utilization

The world we know: reduction in cost means increased profits we can funnel directly into fuel for the CEO'S private jet and super yachts.

Carbon isn't considered a cost by the wealthy and powerful.

Pharmaceuticals are life saving for people in various conditions whether thyroid issues, achieving a body that can exercise in the first place, or fast interdiction for diseases associated with excess body fat. But yeah i agree with your point if someone's problem is their own choice in diet and exercise.

When you go off GLP-1s you generally gain all that weight back. So when they're discussed in the context of saving airlines on fuel costs it's not that far a leap from cynicism about pharmaceutical companies being pretty excited about rising popularity in a take-forever-drug.

Capitalism is so gross...

Obviously everyone except the child. Now what about if your only option is another room where another abuser won't assault your child but will hire someone to sexuality assault your siblings children in plain view of you and yours?

Not saying trump or inaction were good choices, just that it wasn't an easy one for a good many folk, and i felt sick to my stomache voting dem that year. Though i can't remember feeling a different way about voting dem, just that it was Not the Other Guy^TM^

Their comment is the must obvious sardonicism, not sure if I'm being wooshed by yours.

All trauma and people are different. I'm not prescribing anything.

When i was going through mine from a severe work accident i had to not just sit with the feeling and adrenaline waking up after watching meaningless gore-filled horror shows in my dreams but push into it. Feeling it as hard as i possibly could telling myself that I WANTED and NEEDED to feel it, trying my best to think about every detail of it. It was horrible to experience that, but in the moment i was focused on seeing my trauma and getting to know it.

It seemed the deeper into it i went the faster it receded over time. The worst of it, fits of adrenaline filled crippling anxiety, went from daily to null over 3 years. The wincing about the thought dulled over the following few. I settled at some point on just having a heightened internal sense of empathy. It's probably why i avoid a lot of visual format social media.

I hope you find a method that works for you. You may not get back to your old normal but you can get to a normal where you can live life in whole again free from this pain.

Just remember to have your installs on independant hard drives, not just partitions.

You don't go into law enforcement thinking you won't be shooting someone in your career. You have to want to use force on people and abandon empathy for humans just trying to survive.

Liberals are ill-equipped and it's antithetical to the left.

These are things you can do WHILE rising up

I'm not really about shaming people. I just want to say, "i don't have the urge to have them" and that be sufficient. I don't think I'd turn it around and say the other is dumb or wrong for not understanding on the basis that there are all the problems in the world.

 

Can you guess what new hobby I've taken up?

Second real attempt at a digital work. I'm continually surprised by my progress with drawing 🤠 I don't think I can go back to pencil and paper unless I'm on vacation or something...

I plan to fully render this one with color so this might be the project for all of December 😅

 

Finished the drawing I posted a few days ago. I'm really happy with how it came out! Took 7-9hrs but felt like maybe 1 😅.

Here's construction:

And because i think it's super funny 🤣

 

I've been struggling with faces for quite a while but I think I'm getting there!

Finally got a graphics tablet after drawing for a year with pencil and it's a world of difference! Undo and layers is like enabling god-mode. It's also nice that the pen doesn't follow previous strokes like on paper.

Braids have been a challenge, especially with perspective. Probably another piece or two before get them really figured out 😅

I am building a new PC. I want to run Linux and windows on separate SATA 2.5/3.5 SSD hard drives. I need windows (Winn11 Pro) for work. Linux will run all personal computing needs.

I have a horrible history with dual booting Linux and windows (grub getting murdered).

I currently plan to shut down the PC, switch power to the drives, and start up on the other OS.

Can i use a switch which only toggles power to each drive while keeping data cables attached to accomplish this? Will this be possible with windows on one drive?

Is there a smarter solution?
