This isn’t the end, but the beginning. There’s a lot of fight left, don’t make the mistake of thinking we’re done now.
Joy is rebellion. Kindness is radical. Optimism is counterculture.
I just wanted to pull out this little nugget because, as the kids say:

Just admit you were wrong and a bit judgy and take the L my dude
All of the numbers are rounded. Maybe this is the first month collecting data so everything is starting from 0?
I have non-ironically gotten responses like this
Personally, I think you’re making things too complicated at this point. If you are just starting out you don’t need to add periodization. That’s for when you are really pushing heavy weights or doing things you cannot recover from quickly.
I don’t see why not. I would do them after the lat pull downs.
If just general fitness is what you’re going for then a solid program like starting strength is great to build a base and then go on from there. This is a more advanced program that is focused more on muscle size and you need to have a good mind/body connection to get the most out of it. Building a base first would help a lot.
For pull ups, what I did to go from 0-1 was doing a lot of negatives. So I’d jump up to the top position and hold it and then I’d slowly let myself down as controlled as possible. That worked for me better than lat pull downs.
It all depends on your goals. Are you looking to do a bodybuilding program? Those exercises are all good but lack compound movements which should be the core of your program if you are able.
How much training have you done? Are you just starting out?
TPU is a great choice for dog toys and a lot of them are manufactured from it! It doesn’t provide a good environment for bacteria to grow and is also used in medical equipment.

You’ll want to make sure that the toy is big enough for your dog and I think I’d use enough infill and walls to make it extra strong since puppers can have crazy strong jaws.
Thanks for the link. It does seem that there is a correlation between News media that leans toward the minority party getting a bump in eyeballs.
I would fucking love that if it were true but it most certainly is not

Yes, but that also like never happened. Fox was always dominant.

Hey man, I’m sorry this is a rough time for you. But maybe you’re looking at Christmas all wrong.
The origin of Christmas wasn’t anything to do with the birth of Christ, but was a way for humans to get through the literal darkest time of the year. This is the moment when the natural world throws all it had against us and takes away one of the things that we require to be happy (sunlight). Society doesn’t do much, if anything, for summer solstice because most people are in a good mood. But we sure as hell do for winter solstice because, before modern society, shit was about to get rough.
I also have to face a lot of loss during this time as well. My mom died on Dec 19th 2020, and my brother overdosed and died 4 days later. Then a year later my dad died on Dec 30th. This time of year is tough for me too. And I also don’t really deserve my amazing wife and kids either. But they sure as hell don’t deserve a sad sack of a father/husband.
Therapy helps a lot with this. It can be hard to find the words to talk about this with the people you love so it can be easier with a third party. Your family deserves you to be there for them and to be legitimately happy.
I hope you find peace and can put the past behind you.

None of what I write in this newsletter is about sowing doubt or "hating," but a sober evaluation of where we are today and where we may end up on the current path. I believe that the artificial intelligence boom — which would be better described as a generative AI boom

The surgeon general's latest public health warning is about. . . parenting?!

> The surgeon general has a new public health warning. And this time, the hazard isn’t tobacco or alcohol: it’s parenting. > > Two-fifths of parents say that on most days, “they are so stressed they cannot function,” the Office of the Surgeon General reports in an advisory titled Parents Under Pressure. Roughly half of parents term that stress “completely overwhelming.” > > Those dire findings anchor a 35-page report, released in late August, that posits parental stress as “an urgent public health issue.” It draws on data from the American Psychological Association and other sources to build a case that parents are facing more stress than at perhaps any other time in recent history. > > One-third of parents with children under 18 rate their stress level as 8 or higher on a 10-point scale, according to psychological association data. Two-fifths of parents report being “so stressed they feel numb.” Three-fifths say stress makes it hard to focus. Two-thirds are consumed by money woes.
Parents in the United States are overwhelmed and burned out with the “dizzying pace” of the world, and it’s a public health concern, according to a surgeon general’s advisory released Wednesday that calls for shifts in policy and cultural norms.

Curious exactly what happens when you run a program on your computer? Learn how multiprocessing works, what system calls really are, how computers manage memory with hardware interrupts, and how Linux loads executables.
As A.I.-generated data becomes harder to detect, it’s increasingly likely to be ingested by future A.I., leading to worse results.
I ran an AI startup back in 2017 and this was a huge deal for us and I’ve seen no actual improvement in this problem. NYTimes is spot on IMO
