There are like 100 for the whole country. No one gets audited, statistically speaking. It’s why you’ve never learned anything about taxes from your parents or friends. They don’t know either. People pay people at HR block who don’t know about taxes either to file. No one gets in trouble because the only people who know tax laws work for the very wealthy. Or at the IRS where there are about 100 of them to 300m of us.

Everyone’s body is different but try lighter and more frequent. 3x 20 minutes. You can always push faster, more frequent once you get past “it always feels like I’m dying”, but at this point you’re trying to convince your body, “this will be a regular thing, I need to be able to do this”.

Do 3x 20 and add in walks on off days. Anything to overall make your body raise its “floor” for cardio.

Taking days off is when your body immediately tells your lungs and heart “see I knew he was kidding!”

You can go from marathon shape to having running be a struggle at old levels with 4 weeks of inactivity. Most people go faaaar longer than that without exercising and think there is something wrong with or unique to them.

Our bodies want to save energy and not waste it burning calories to keep you in shape, so regularity trumps all. Go light, go often, and slowly increase pace, duration, frequency as it feels good. Your body will respond in time.

Almost got me

And in just a few years, for me with my on-chip gpu needs and AMDs huge improvements around the same time, shopping for a processor went from having to read about Intel and AMD and wonder who I should choose for my next small laptop to not even considering anything with an Intel chip set. Thankfully this is also when AMD also became a standard offering at many OEM laptop makers (10 years prior you maybe had a few laptops in the entire market with an AMD option).

Intel truly squandered so much market dominance–despite it being clear to a layman where markets and the world was going-- it’s breathtaking. The fact they missed both mobile phone chip explosion and GPUs despite having been producers of both at some level is wild. The fact they managed, separately, to lose an enormous amount of trust and reputation points with their customers is a testament to why their only new investor is someone as stupid and corrupt as Trump.

I see you too have studied judo.

It’s like no law is upholded unless you have lawyers.

That’s the entire idea of what has been lobbied and constructed over generations. The wealthy have access to infinite appeals, have their crimes categorized as “white collar” so they might do a few years for stealing millions or billions if they happen to suffer the miscarriage of justice actually finding them guilty, while poor saps stealing corn nuts from the grocer get far longer sentences. The system is working for exactly whom wrote it’s laws, no strange coincidence historically in any global setting.

Reading about the consternation in the US about what would happen had trump been given a sentence after having been found guilty during the run-up to the election was a good primer on how warped things are. Many could only express concern for how Trump’s life should be able to go on as normal regardless of a “justice” system if guilty and elected. The simple answer, long forgotten since kindergarten, is that there have to be consequences for actions. It’s been laid incredibly bare there no longer are. The US either starts to take them back ala South Koreas’s new administration or fully embrace failed, corrupt state membership.

Because someone has to coordinate to let Saudi royal families safely exit nationally closed airspace after 9/11 when 15/19 plane hijackers were from Saudi Arabia!

Can you imagine what might have happened to them if not? Luckily we then started having those same agencies spew stories about WMD that didn’t exist in Iraq so we could fight a proxy war in Iraq.

The US is China’s bitch, Israel’s bitch, Saudi Arabia’s bitch…

It’s also just generally a good barometer of a good idea. If people can’t independently evaluate an idea and come to a similar conclusion on their own, it just means that you simply apply coercion and then you get to be right! It’s excellent as a management practice which I’ll note all the big 4 claim to offer…

That’s the beauty of it, now that the oil-ligarchy has defunded alternate energy and removed tax incentives, the companies responded by reversing 2 decades of development and finally getting hybrids and evs common in us automakers.

Now that electric is off the menu, and protectionism is back on, it means the places those cars are being made and made well–like china–americans simply won’t even know about them or be able to buy them as they’ll be tariffed out of existence.

Triple win for the oil-ligarchy

Kids toys.

Why would you use such questionable technology to assess future behavior of subjects when we can simply use phrenology to easily predict criminal behavior?

Scintillating is uncommonly used but does appear occasionally in things I’ve read but I didn’t know the latin root or connect it when I saw the noun used by Op, so thanks for the link and chance to learn!

They people who wave away bombing a school and killing 175 because “it’s war”(that we unilaterally started). These are definitely the people who you want to trust on child safety and well-being.

Plausible accountability

Correct, because it’s important that only large corps with access to resources to create widely used LLMs have unfettered access to the minds of our populace in a completely open way. Random humans being able toaccess and exchange information adhoc, independently without prior approval is of course incompatible with the first amendment.

The email. The email. The what what? The email.

Dictatorships can be very efficient, tons of time saved by no meetings, delays, stakeholders, rights, debate or considerations needed.

I had completely forgotten Lenovo bought Motorola from Google some 10 years ago. Honestly haven’t seen a Motorola phone in at least that long …

Actual education with regular rigorous driver testing. Ruthless revocation of driving privileges for violations. Incarceration for serious offense, no outs for the rich. Fines proportionate to income.

That’s it. In 3 years the culture would be completely different.
