A Rant about Front-end Development
  • I'm not versed in the web dev scene, front end or back end. But if you mean the people that design sites where shit isn't loaded in proper sequence and keeps shifting/moving buttons as it keeps loading more shit, then yes, fuck those people.

  • Byron Bay is to be stripped of its nudist beach – and naturists blame ‘conservative creep’
  • Family friendly?

    Are you for real? Nudist campings are family campings in yurop. Went to a nekid beach last week and it was filled with families. As it is every time we go.

    It's not the nakedness that seems to be the issue. It's your hyper sexualised mindset and culture.

  • We refuse to die for fossil fuels – Just Stop Oil response to police raids resulting in at least 27 arrests.
  • Biggest balls? Really? They are actually a large part of why we're still so dependent on fossil fuels. If they had the balls to accept nuclear is in fact the faaaaar lesser evil, we could've ditched fossil fuel for electricity generation completely by now. Instead we have countries ramping up coal usage and building new gas power plants to replace their nuclear plants. And they still see this as a win.

    Those nuclear plants will be indispensable once we start having entire fleets of 18-wheelers recharging at night.

    Agree with their battle. It's necessary. Just not with what they've pushed the past 30-odd years.

  • Ultra-processed foods need tobacco-style warnings, says scientist
  • Because no one actually knows. Studies or trends are done by crusaders for or against a certain food because they noticed for themselves it has some neg impact.

    There are not enough actual studies on food or even healthcare. There was like 1 decent study for example on keto diet for athletes. Results weren't valid for most people as they only looked at athletic results and how the athletes felt. Not the health impact for gen pop.

    Healthcare is the same. I've lived my entire life following various medical advice due to medical issue. Recently that advice has changed. And I'm fkin pissed cuz after 40 fkin years I am finally pain free.

    And I haven't even touched the topic of both food and healthcare for women, poc, differing body-/lifestyle types.

    Only thing I can agree on: consume less sugar and sauces. Sure my opinion is anecdotal, but everyone I know that has cut those 2 has seen great results.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • An EV will double your electricity usage. Look into the requirements for EV cargo transport. Swapping out all the diesel trucks, just the heavy transport will come close to doubling the national electricity needs. Add to that small vans and buses.

    I urge you to actually do the math. You'll get a much much better understanding of the issue. Just pasting links to articles that look like they support your arguments adds to the dream.

    The aim is to drop fossil fuels. Your goal should've been to embrace nuclear while increasing renewables. Atm you seem fine with just burning fossil fuels, killing the planet, cuz the alternative isn't renewable. GG.

    Take a look at Germany, Belgium, etc. ditching nuclear because the green parties fought so hard for it. What are they doing now? Back to healthy healthy coal and gas. Thanks for helping kill the planet even faster in your zeal for exclusively renewable energy.

  • Oh Joe...
  • Why? The same reason the 1/3 burger flopped. Majority of mericans are dumb af. Splitting off from the D would give the R a sure win. That's the only reason they aren't doing it.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • Idealists and reality. Natural opposites.

    Renewables are unreliable. That's a fact. Yes you have moments, days even weeks where they can deliver what is currently required. In total output. Not yet in delivers when you actually need it output.

    Sure you can have 100% renewable generation for a 24hr period, but if your generation is during the day and your usage is spread into the night, you're not really covering your needs, no matter how good it looks on paper.

    It is also your current usage. Now do the math and replace all fossil fuel usage with electric alternatives. Cars, buses, trucks, heating, cooking, etc. Now calculate just how much more renewables you need to cover all that in ideal circumstances.

    Now do the same for windless winter days.

    If we're going to step away from fossil fuels entirely, you're going to have to accept nuclear as an option. Thinking we'll manage only with renewables is a dream. While you dream, we're burning fossil fuels non-stop. Cuz that's reality.

    You can have renewables with nuclear, or renewables with fossil fuels. You're actively choosing renewables with fossil fuels.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • Oh noes, facts. The bane of all renewables evangelicals.....

    Just wait till you have to tell them they're looking at irrelevant data. Not only are they using specific usecases that are not applicable to a large majority of countries, but they're also using data that doesn't support the long term fossil fuel goals.

    Just wait till you tell them how much the electricity requirements will skyrocket once we're transitioning to EV, dropping fossil fuel heating, cooking, cargo trucks switch to EV, etc etc.

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • Aaaw, someone doesn't like the tone used? Well that's unfortunate. How about you start with leaving dem bad faith arguments?

    Renewables will not cover your usage. Period. You will need something to cover what renewables won't be able to deliver. Your options are limited. Nuclear is the only sustainable option for many places. Sure you got hydro (ecological disasters) or geothermal in some places, but most do not have those options.

    It's not an XOR problem.

  • New to running - My first 3 months

    As the title says, I'm new to running. Due to medical reasons I was never allowed to do any sports. Which turned me into a 40 yo fatass. Well my horrible diet didn't help either.

    Finally had enough and started running, prolly the first time in my life, about 3 months ago. It went worse than I thought. 1min at 7km/hr and then 4-5min walk cycles for a total of 5 mins running was all I could manage the first few weeks.

    I kept at it, slowly increasing running time and walking pace. Got stuck at 15min running, just couldn't go longer. Last week I said fuck it and went for a full 5k. At the 15min mark I had my usual dip/shutdown, but pushed through and finished the run with a HR at 172-176 for the final 20 mins. Repeated the 5k twice now and the last time my max HR was at 156-ish.

    Found my unconscious breathing was holding me back. When I focus on proper breathing I can keep going.

    Next goal is upping from 8km/hr to 10 for the 5km, then extending the runs. End goal is doing some 10mile races next year.

    Started running for weight loss, which so far has been great. +130kg to 110kg.
