  • I would think someone who is taking advantage of bat files would feel right at home with shell scripts in Linux. In my experience, shell was much easier to pick up than batch

    Batch is probably the same, but what always made me laugh about shell scripts is you could ask a bunch of people how to do something, and they’d all have a different way, it’s like there’s always a new tool to learn and try to fit into your workflow if you want, I love it











  • My annual subscription is finally up next month and then I’m out with an over 1600 day streak. I am sick of the hard push for AI and for how hard they push Max even though I’m already a paid user.

    And all that aside, the Italian course just isn’t as developed as other languages. I didn’t realize what I was missing until I saw a friend who used the app for French.

    I’m trying out Babbel, which seems to have a bigger focus on actual human voices, and Mango, which I get through my local library.





  • Just kinda skimmed through because I don’t have an hour right now, but marketing is definitely to blame, they managed to associate high protein content in snacks with “healthy”, so people skip over the rest of the nutrition info because hey it’s high in protein.

    Right at the start, the one gram per pound of protein is usually just a recommendation for people trying to build muscle and should also be done in tandem with muscle-building exercise.

    I think the obesity comes in with all the protein snacks. You could get 30g of protein from 100g of chicken breast OR you could drink a chocolate milkshake or eat a protein bar, it’s easy to guess what most people will pick. I spent a while looking for protein bars to help me hit my goals and it’s crazy how many of them are 300-400 calories each. Even for people who do exercise a lot and need the protein, that’s really high in calories.

    Like cliff builder bars, one bar is 280 calories, 20g protein, but also 30% of the DV of saturated fats and 32% of the DV of sugar. A bar has almost the same amount of sugar (17g) as protein, that’s ridiculous
