Basically guaranteed to be a clear text offender

• Video games: lifelong tech interest + it was what the other people in school were doing? I found that I like to compete as well
• Podcasts: monotonous tasks always really annoyed me as I was mentally understimulated. Listening to podcasts solved that particular issue, and now I can wash dishes and clean for days at a time
• Walking: I was overweight and wanted to change that, and I had trouble getting into running due to me finding it mind-numbingly boring. Just walking and walking a lot was very helpful in this regard. Combined with the aforementioned podcasts it was a winning combination
• Biking: I don’t own a car by choice, being able to get around more than just fine with transit where I live. During the pandemic while I was working from home, this became a challenge as I didn’t want to risk infection when going to buy food or other things. As such, I dusted off an old bicycle, and started using it to get around my local area. I quickly noticed that it was great fun to bike, despite having just a bog-standard terrible bike. I then changed jobs and wanted to go to the office more, and figured one day that I would try to combine my new-found interest in biking with my desire to be at the office by commuting by bike. It was a bit hard to justify time-wise as it was generally faster to go by transit, which motivated me to go faster every day to try to beat the transit alternative. As such, every day became two small races, and I fell in love. Cycling is way more fun than running and I have never been healthier than I am today, I believe.

Not consciously, it’s been a long while since I watched zero punctuation.

This thread is generally filled with completely pants-on-head dietary advice.

Don’t get this type of information from randoms on Lemmy, contact a professional instead. I’ve noticed that Lemmy is exceptionally bad as a source for this.

Podcasts often dynamically generate ads at the point of download, making the SponsorBlock-approach unviable: since the media is expected to be variable-length you can’t store media positions that map to advertisement segments.

So first off, I don’t think you should bring the laws of physics into conversations of how human bodies store fat. I know it’s tempting - I’ve been there before - but it’s just too reductive to be useful in the conversation, and it leads to generally poor conclusions.

While it’s true that energy cannot be ‘conjured from nothing’ - human bodies don’t quite work on a fixed energy in/out model. They can be variably efficient in how much energy is required to perform certain tasks, and secondary systems can be turned off when the need to conserve energy becomes apparent (leptin is the signaling mechanism for this).

The main mechanisms that cause rebound weight gain after sharp dieting is a reduction in passive energy needs stemming from the change in leptin levels, along with leptins very strong effect on appetite.

I suggest to you, and anyone still under the impression that CICO is a useful model for understanding human metabolism, to read the book The Hungry Brain. It’s hugely useful for gaining greater insight into the subject.

Healthcare is pretty rough, I’d be willing to bet that the grass actually is greener in this case.

There’s not going to be one single number for this - you’re most likely looking at views/production costs or effect on retention/production costs.

WFH means less carbon emissions, less time wasted in traffic, and less time literally putting your life at risk from vehicle collisions.

It speaks volumes that all of these problems are car-related. The whole push for WFH is a massive condemnation of how badly people actually feel about the effects of the car-oriented development that the U.S has been spending so much time championing.

Given Putin’s long history of violating Swedish airspace over Gotland, I feel like the statement has at least some amount of credibility.

In fact, I would not be surprised if that is a large part of why public sentiment finally swayed in favour of NATO in Sweden after so many years of public sentiment being against the prospect.

A fitting punishment for choosing to drive in NYC

Imagine the horror of not being able to escape France. Truly a fate worse than death

That’s where you’re wrong, bucko

I mean, if it’s fresh from a bakery - sure, but “factory-fresh”? I think toasted is definitely an improvement.

I wouldn’t be surprised if originally it was something you did to rescue stale bread. Can’t waste any good food when it’s scarce, you know?

Anything can be finger food if you’re brave enough.

Stockholm, 2022. Det var lite bättre marknad då, med nollränteläge och allt.

Notera också att jag inte fick erbjudande på en del av företagen då jag självmant lämnade processen eftersom att jag fick negativa signaler. Jag hann ‘bara’ med att få 5 erbjudanden under tiden jag intervjuade.

What I did last time was to write down every company I could see myself working for here in town, and checked their career pages/contacts I knew at the company for openings. Then I browsed LinkedIn to figure out any other potential opportunities.

Finally, I applied to 10 companies simultaneously. I got rejected by one, rejected a few before coming to the offer stage (the remaining didn’t complete their processes in time), and landed five offers that I tried my best negotiating against each other before signing one.

“It went to the forest” - we have that one in Swedish as well: “Det gick åt skogen”. It’s possible that it crossed the border in either direction during our imperial days, I suppose.

Swedish has it as well, so I think we can safely scratch it down to common heritage.
