In France in conforama stores salesman use a ascii terminal GUI connected to AIX shells. Fast as hell to take your order. I’m always amazed at how marketing BS lead us to vastly su…

You get the vi bindings and modal behaviour which I find better _plus_ all emacs functions and most of the emacs bindings. I’m often mixing the 2 modes while editing.

What helps me doing something I don’t like on a daily basis (pull up for example) is thinking : I don’t have the choice. That way I consume much less willpower

I always use it in pipelines to extract columns. I often use it for summations of numbers. Sometimes for more complex tasks. Get the job done.

Agreed. But you can have sexual fantasies and still be friend, no ?

That’s my point. Regarding people that maintain the same weight, I highly doubt they eat on average the _exact_ amount needed. There must be physiological adjustments that are brok…

CICO while thermodynamically true, is not _that_ useful because no one really control CI nor CO …

How do one manage to eat exactly the amount of calories one consumes ? Based on the calories in/out weight gain theory a little error of 50 calories/day would lead to 50*365=18250 …

Problem is people want it all : health _and_ do whatever comes to my mind. Sometime reality is stronger than will. My advice : do not focus on a weight but on eating normally. If y…

"I will be a health(ier) weight, if I continue to put the effort in. And who knows?" Fit and normal people don’t put any effort. As long as you’ll see this as an effort/reward thin…

I wonder when this madness will end.

There’s no death and severity for healthy young people. Only mild symptoms.

Comparing polio and Covid is ridiculous

Yeah, sure. Like the song says : "do what I say, don’t do wha t I do" :-)

Idk, maybe ask this to Japaneses or Panamanians.

It is true for vaccine that have been long tested and are really effective for certain set of _serious_ diseases. It’s not true for Covid were those vaccines are new, not effective…

I don’t recall of any teacher dying from covid …

ho yeah and we saw how effective the measures were, every person I know has got Covid !
