What does this mean?

Google says that the average American has a body fat around 28% but the benchmark for obesity is 25%. On average my claim is true.

This is self-hosted, not foss. Also I didn’t say they were evil? All morality is relative

I haven’t been tracking my body composition sorry. But thanks :)

Expect to be ostracised here but if your drives are “junk” (some have SMR), I got better parity performance with Windows Storage Spaces (WSS) than with Unraid. Recoverability and compatibility with old junk hardware was very good too, whereas the bits I had lying around gave me Linux driver conflicts. Trying to install ZFS on Linux gave me a headache, and I then realised I couldn’t expand the array easily when I found other cheap crappy drives to add. WSS doesn’t care, it just keeps trucking.

As for a licence, the old “upgrade from the windows 7 enterprise key that got leaked” trick did it for me. Never paid for it.

I found that I needed to spend more on components with better driver support to have a working NAS on Linux. Windows isn’t open source, but for me it was the cheapest total cost option, and you can still run your containers in it.

I reckon maybe performance is worse on write for WSS? I paid for a PrimoCache licence to fix that though, and now my SSD gets used for initial writes and slowly spools over to the array as the array is able to calculate parity and write with my 10 year old CPU.

I found a link to some dodgy discords somewhere and joined them out of curiosity. Seemed like people were receiving the product and it was working

I absolutely wouldn’t bother in Aus. Chemist Warehouse is selling 2.5mg of Monjaro for $279, which is what I took, and I got $80 back of that from my health insurance. I was more making reference to the good old USA, where my understanding is that each pen is around $1k.

Yo man!! Yeah I didn’t know lemmy was popular here! I’d go to a meet if someone else organised it 😁

So I was 92kg, but my snoring starts kicking in when I’m over 90kg. Went to doc and he put me on the lowest dose of Monjaro (2.5mg). I found that was way too much, so I dropped the pen to 20 clicks (full dose is 30), so 2/3rds dose each time. Full dose almost made me pass out at work, I just had zero appetite.

I work from home and exercise often, but my snack impulse is very strong, especially when training hard. I found on 2/3rds dose that my snack impulse was significantly suppressed, but I didn’t have the negative effects others were having around insomnia etc. Working from home, the fridge is always open, and I have returned to snacking now, but my weight has stabilised at 88kg after just the one pen.

Doc gave me a single repeat, and once life calms down a bit, I’ll try using it again to go lower. For my height the absolute optimal weight for longevity is around 81kg, so I may use or or two more repeats to get there. I’d never bother trying to lose weight without it again, it made the whole thing so much easier, and I probably saved the cost of the pen on junk food/restaurants. I also wanted to break up its use with some time off to wean my body off the extra hormone, as the standard arrangement is to keep cranking up the strength of the pen as the body gets used to it. Right now I’m 6 weeks since I stopped taking it, and admittedly I’ve put 1kg back on, but I’ve also added 15kg to my squat.

Overall, 5 stars, it’s absolutely unreal. I paid $279AUD for the 1 pen, and got back $80AUD from my extras health cover.

Mate, you’re from Brisbane, same as me, so of course we’re chiselled titans. OP on the other hand is posting in both Linux and Elderscrolls subforums and complaining about his flag-waving HOA, there’s no way he’s 105kg of muscle.

For the extra money you can stab yourself with some selmaglutide meds instead, so that you stop being obese. Did this myself, lost 4kg in 1 month, and that has stayed off. You can even buy em cheap out of china, if you dare.

Net result is you’re probably about as likely to die as you were beforehand (increased longevity from weightloss offset with scooter incident risk) but at least you’ll have more fun.

I never thought I’d say this but in defence of big coal, rent controls, which the greens advocate, have historically caused real rents for those not in existing rentals to skyrocket. I’m anti-coal but this rental cap policy is stupid.

Rental demand and supply needs to be addressed. Just fucking with prices via a cap has tons of unintended consequences. I see nothing in the greens policies about easing innner-city zoning restrictions, or increasing the supply of construction labour, both of which would be much more effective at reducing real rents.

You probably want Firelli. Super vinegary, made in Italy, and very delicious

Then you probably want something like this, which both silences the airtag and adds years to the battery: https://tryandbyte.com.au/products/elevation-lab-timecapsule-airtag-10-year-battery

I just bought an 8V USB-C chargeable drill set off AliExpress. It just happens to be bright pink. Not sure if I’m giving the right impression at the men’s shed.

Hydrogen has extreme structural problems. Hydrogen tanks need constant maintenance, due to how small the molecule is - it’s very difficult to contain and prevent corrosion. You then have significant conversion loss between the powerplant-native format of electricity, and the hydrogen. So nothing can be as cheap as pure electricity. Fuelling the car with ammonia that then gets converted to Hydrogen inside the car is the solution to the first problem, but further increases the loss on the second.

What you’re describing sounds like a small, high-capacity battery to me! Like a super AA battery. Maybe in 50 years :)

People prefer cards over carrying cash though, and you have to kinda work to collect the cashback. Most don’t bother, which is why the system is profitable overall.

Honestly I think you’re better off extracting money from a large corporation you don’t like (if you can, it’s obviously difficult) compared to ignoring them.

For example, if you really hate a company, flood their sales line with nonsensical calls. It’ll usually be a domestic agent for the sales line, and in Australia at least the average cost to answer a call fully loaded, charged by a call centre management company, is around $30AUD. You also increase demand for low paid workers. If you could figure out a way to do this en-masse for a company without annoying the individual agent, you could do some serious financial damage in a way that’s probably legal.

Edit: If I hated a company, and I had a lonely/senile relative, I would give them a special phone where every button on the phone called the sales line. That way the elderly relative gets a chat and keeps their brain active, and you get to cost the company hundreds of dollars a day. The sales agent is also unlikely to be bothered by an occasional chat with a senile person to break up their day.

Just take the item and run. Underhanded tactics deserve underhanded tactics

America has hollowed out its public school system, and then wonders why products of that system have reduced in quality?

Azure rules the roost now in Australia

SoundCloud has enormous variety. Are they jerks too?
