It’s not even just the leaders, but also the voters. They keep getting harmed, over and over and over, while continuing to go back for more. I can only conclude they have a weird masochistic streak and get off on being hurt.

This is getting very abstract, but thank you, I do enjoy getting Marge pregnant!

It’s probably more efficient from a pure economics perspective, but there are advantages to home batteries and other smaller scale installations.

• Planning approvals. Grid-level battery approvals can be slow and bottlenecked by too many proposals at once, and can be slowed or halted by community opposition. No such issue with home batteries.

• Decentralisation. A decentralised grid is more robust to problems happening in the grid. If a single big battery goes down it could cause issues, but it’s unlikely that millions of home batteries will all go down at once.

• Having the battery close to the load is more efficient, and means that less transmission infrastructure will need to be built. This is also means that community opposition has less of an impact.

• Individuals can benefit (in the right configuration) by seamlessly mitigating short blackouts.

It’s more about FEX + ARM handhelds, than those in isolation. Only in the last few years has FEX started to become viable, and more and more Linux ARM handhelds (not Android) are starting to appear.

The Switch represents a floor of what is possible, with weak hardware, unofficial Linux support, and likely poor GPU drivers. ARM handhelds that aren’t Android may have better long term support, and will become closer to the experience of a Steam Deck (albeit slower), at a much lower price.

It’s the UK sky news, not the far-right Australian one.

I actually am using a VPN, and much like blocking ads, I’m not turning it off to use a website.

To help keep our platform secure, we require visitors to temporarily turn off VPNs (including iCloud Private Relay) and proxy services.

Thankfully, it’s discounted at a bunch of other stores too: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/returnal/info/

What a country!

Does it support heart rate reserve? If so, use that. Beyond that as long as your runs roughly feel like they should for each zone it’s okay as it’s not an exact science.

EDIT: Reading your original question more carefully, high HR isn’t really dangerous if you don’t have an underlying health problem, it’s just not an effective way to get faster if that’s all you do. Most people gain improvements from a mix of short, high intensity interval sessions, and longer low intensity runs. The general rule is 80/20 in favour of “easy” runs in terms of distance, but this matters more for people who are doing very large volumes. Nevertheless, you should be doing a greater volume of slower runs in terms of distance over a given period.

The reason is that people generally can’t tolerate huge volumes at high intensity. Since high volume is a big part of improving fitness, a mix of the two intensities is important.

To begin with, make sure your max HR and zones are all reasonably correct. You say your max is 194, but it’s not uncommon for the real max to be a decent amount higher than what you see in regular runs, unless you truly pushed yourself the absolute limit.

I’d use lactate threshold heart rate to calculate your zones, if your hardware/software supports it. Prefer a proper strap over a watch as well if possible.

Beyond that, you’re just going to have to run slower than what you are used to, to stay in the lower zones. Try to do it with good technique and reasonably high cadence. If you can’t run slow enough, throw in some walking in between to get your HR down.

Right, but then we are back to the question of how these companies are supposed to make money. I suppose hardware manufacturers will be okay with this outcome but I’m not sure how these heavily inflated software companies will profit under a local first world. So we are back to the bubble deflating or bursting.

People will pay $10 a month for chat GPT to write their emails.

They won’t even pay that in many cases but instead rely on the free offerings. Expect those to go away altogether, to be heavily hamstring, or to become absolutely riddled with advertisements.

It’s more likely to go up in price for the foreseeable future.

There has also been a trend in suburban areas toward people not using their garages to actually store their cars, and just using the street. I think there should be at least some amount of price imposed on street parking, even if it’s minimal.

There’s little to no reason to use esync anymore. Use a recent kernel and a recent version of Proton or Wine and you can instead use NTsync which is faster and more reliable.

Shenmue II did this. Not a cyberpunk game of course, but it felt big for the time despite a small area and not that many NPCs.

One Nation are currently leading the polls. Either the majority of Australians are incredibly low information voters, or they either don’t care about racism or actively support it.

Time will tell as to which it is.

I encountered a different headline for this story earlier today and my first thought was that Australia was being tariffed because we are against slavery. Which seems more credible than the actual claim the US is making here.

Bart gets caught writing his name with chemicals into the school lawn, and Skinner makes him call Homer. Bart takes the opportunity to make a crank call, and this is the result.

Principal charming, Homer tries to get Patty a date but Skinner likes Selma more, and various parodies of old movies ensue (Vertigo and Gone with the Wind at the least).
