By the way, I gave ChatGPT my exact workout routine and asked it to critique based on my goals. It made what I thought were good recommendations that were not upsetting the apple cart, just pointing out redundancies, some order changes, and a couple weak spots. Then it asked me if I wanted critique on my diet so I entered a fifteen day average of my macros, then my actual typical meals, and it did the same (I’m good on calories and protein, it wants me to shift some fat calories to carbs) and gave me specific suggestions how to do it We’ll see what the results are, but I found both exercises useful and informative.

@Doctor-Phibes said: When I saw that on FB I'd genuinely assumed it wasn't a real tweet. Same. I can only shake my head.

@bachophile said: Having said that and examining those pants more closely, I think a trip to Qatar would be enlightening Those three posts are absolute TNCR classics. Bravo,Dr. b.

I don't think a President has made this much fuss about ballroom since Johnson's famous discussion with his tailor.

Me too.

Link to video Interesting video about whale falls (basically what happens when a whale dies and how it feeds an bottom ocean community for decades.)

All the more reason to serve the cheapest plonk wine possible at such events.

Same logic works for kids btw

Ceefax because ‘minitel’ was taken. BlackBerry integrated with corporate email systems it wasn’t just a standalone system.

@Horace said: @taiwan_girl said: I think most people, if given the choice, would chose remote, And those who enjoy/need the office social interactions convince themselves that those people just don't know what's best for themselves. Meanwhile, probably 90% of people, if given the choice to take or leave the whole in person office scene, would leave it. But the 10% are sure they're all simply ignorant of what is good in life. I think most people would prefer a bit of both. The main complaint I hear about office working is all the time wasted in commuting, rather than being in the actual office being awful.

It's pretty obscure and not quite as funny as people are saying (he's getting an impending mortality bump). Trump said that Pence needed the courage to not certify the 2020 election results, which in Trump's addled mind would have led to Trump retaining the presidency. (It wouldn't have.)

A book I mentioned in the book thread is called "Station Eleven" about a pandemic that kills not all, but most people. Goes through some of the same decay that you guys talk about. (interesting, but the book was written just a year or so before COVID).

For those who are catholic, is there a focus on sex? From the outside, it seemed that sex was part of their agenda, but not the main focus. Seemed like there were other things like poor people, etc.

@Axtremus said: @Mik said: Probably constitutionally correct, but bad for the republic. So much for the "Founding Fathers' wisdom." Well, yes. Elbridge Gerry, after whom Gerrymandering is named, was a signer of the declaration of independence. As governor of Massachusetts, he approved an odd shaped district to benefit his party in 1812. It looked like a salamander, so they called it the Gerry-mander’. And the name stuck.

Great to hear @lufins-dad as well. Just like Jon's post, I appreciate the health updates.

You ain't lion about that
