This feels like an ad written by ChatGPT.

This guy wrote a dozen paragraphs and I'm not sure he actually said anything beyond 'work hard guys, shits changing all the time'.

That's kind of a mess even now, lots of logistical concerns, but with all the technological infrastructure we have, we could kind of do the opposite... Have watches and clocks that are always synced exactly with the day/night cycle no matter where you are. It changes a tremendous amount about how we do so many things, but it's an interesting idea.

I kinda think it might make sense to normalize using both, but at that point it feels like we may be making things worse.

Since I posted this I have legit been searching for a wallet that says 'Rascally Knave', I need that in my life.

Sounds like you're talking about a bltouch or a clone, they were in the market super early, I think they were one of the first.

There are more options out there now, but most do work on the same concept.

It's almost definitely a pain in the ass, but you can probably add self leveling to your existing printer.

Envy is an interesting one, I think this is usually based primarily on the 'Golden Calf' story.

There's a bit of context that makes that story much more interesting. The stories that eventually led to what we think of as the christian god depict god as a bull. It brings up the possibility that the story wasn't calling out against worshipping other gods but instead a warning against reverting back to old ways, changes how you approach the story.

Historical evidence there is really all over the place though, there's a LOT of other interpretations and possibilities.

People have actually put it on stage too, it works.

It's ethical relativism y'all!

It's unethical because it's gross and I personally don't like it.

Back then, that was kind of out of character for Musk's public persona. Now, it might not even make the news.

That used to be the place to get quadcopters/drones when they were first becoming a thing. That was mostly just chance though, they were temu before temu was temu.

The talk around weight loss is kinda crazy and a lot of it is dominated by pseudoscience.

However, we are pretty much positive that eating at a calorie deficit will result in weight loss in 99.9% of cases and you aren't going to be the 0.1%. There's a lot of anecdotal data about how eating too little will make you stop losing weight or even gain more weight because of your 'metabolism', but no controlled studies that show that to be a significant contributor without other causes. It's not some magical metabolism trick, you're just cheating on your metrics and doing less because you're tired and cranky and have no energy because you aren't eating right.

Saying that, eating at a massive deficit can definitely make you feel like shit and will make it hard to exercise, do not recommend. You will also likely have a part of your brain dedicated to fantasizing about food 24/7 and your libido will likely be in the trash if that matters to you. This will be very hard to maintain, and you have to remember that there's never going to be a day where you can go back to eating like 'normal'. Your current normal is why you need to lose weight and your goal is to eventually establish a new baseline.

Lastly, highly recommend against adding calories back due to exercise. We don't have a lot of good data about there being any reliable indicators of actual calories burned available to the average person and you'll find a tremendous amount of super variable answers when you find instances where people tried to actually test the estimates you see online. The time you put into exercise isn't about weight loss, it will help, but it's a bonus just for you because you deserve to have the body that you want.
