I've given a talk more than once titled "the mistakes I've made so you don't have to".

I never reveal the title in advance and it always gets a giggle but invariably grabs attention.

I agree with that 100%.

The context I was given it in was more about how you view the world. So if you think that people are good you'll invariably find the good and vice versa.

Oh that's a good one. I really like that as a parent.

 

Two for me:

  1. The moment you feel tipsy it's time to ease down. You have a stomach full of booze that's going to make you more drunk even if you stop immediately.

  2. If you think people are good, you're probably right and if you think people are bad, you're probably right.

People are good IMO.

Don't fall for it, friends. It's division for politics sake.

Very satisfying to watch. Thank you. Absolute arrogance to get in the ring at 39 as unskilled as he is. I'm speaking from experience; had to give up the ghost at 36. Your body just will not recover from hard training as fast beyond your mid thirties. You can absolutely look lean and strong but you'll never have the same levels of fitness.

He ate the shots in fairness, but that's it's own bonus.

Oh man that's gross. :(

I was surprised at how quickly he gassed given all that. He did do a lot of running though lol.

I keep meaning to look up how the Nazis reacted to supposedly "racially inferior" Jewish and black competitors winning events at the 1936 Olympics. I'm sure they'll use the same rationale.

Edit: well I finally got my finger out. It seems they put them down to anomalies and just kept on thinking they were the best. I expected as much.

One interesting tidbit is that some of the losses were blamed on weather or technicalities hahahaha. Cope.

Jesse Owens (who I just learned won four gold medals) did say that he was treated better in Germany than the US and Roosevelt never invited him to the white house. Shameful. :(

they never bring up that he's MAGA.

In fairness I didn't know or think about it until he showed up in that stupid hulk Hogan costume at the fight.

What happened to Tate?

Calories in / calories out works perfectly and predictably for fat loss as long as you're measuring correctly and most people don't. I used to follow it religiously in the run up to fights in order to make weight.

I would look at my weight, look at the weight I need to be 8 weeks later, figure the calorie hole I needed and follow it incredibly closely.

It worked every single time without fail. I always stepped into the ring lean as fuck and having lost zero muscle because I was training twice a day six days a week and keeping protein intake high. I allowed one maintenance calorie day per week on my recovery day.

There are other things that account for weight loss (e.g. loss of sugar from muscles and the associated water loss that comes with that) if you're using keto but most people are after fat loss more than weight loss.

He's making his list, redacting it twice, you'll never find out who's naughty or nice.

 

Presented as a gift in 1848 to Thomas Francis Meagher from a small group of French women sympathetic to Irish nationalism,[3] it was intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union between Roman Catholics (symbolised by the green colour) and Protestants (symbolised by the orange colour).

 

So, not uBlock or whatever as everyone's aware of that.

Mine (all Firefox):

Video Speed Controller. LOVE this one. A tiny widget appears on any video showing current speed and you hit a key to +10% / -10% (I have mine mapped to [ and ]). You can also hide the little widget (v) if you're watching a movie etc.

Very handy for sites that don't support changing video speed or have limited options.

Quick cookie manager - Allows you to delete all cookies on a page that you've visited. Very handy when "reject all" leaves you with like 20 cookies anyway.

Netflux - 1080p Netflix on Linux. Can be a little fiddly at times but it does work.

 
 

I never buy vodka but went to today and just out of curiosity checked where it's made. Well, it turns out it's made in the US in my (Irish) supermarket at least so yours may be the same.

I bought Finlandia instead.

 

I used to love the bench sub in the other place, went to post a picture to /c/bench and realised it didn't exist so I'm being the change I want to see in Lemmy.

!bench@lemmy.world

 

Mine has a few that I can think of but I'm definitely forgetting some:

  • Snig: a secret stash. Usually of cash but it could be chocolate or whatever. Pretty sure this one is unique but I'd love to hear otherwise.
  • Sero: (seero) seriously. This one isn't unique.
  • James floody (flew-dy) ah-doody amen: Weird chant in the hope that something comes true.
  • edit: pinchies: little bit of food before it's ready. Usually meat but as I'm cooking pancakes I just gave some pinchies and it reminded me of this thread
 
 

I'll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.

So....Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).

Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

 

It only appears occasionally. I have no alarms set, no timers, stopwatch etc. running.

Android phone. Searching got no joy.

Update: it was a scheduled message in signal. Didn't want to send my bestie memes too late at night. It does use the actual alarm icon though, weirdly.

Thanks everyone for your help!
