Wow 5th! I’m only at 3 with my nest. Hoping for one after this current pair.

My only suggestion would be to go down slower. Otherwise I think you’ve got good form. Don’t worry too much about the weight. Just slowly increase the reps or weight when possible.

You might be able to fiddle with feet position to get as low without the plate. But there’s nothing really wrong with using the plate.

Are your legs/glutes sore after? That’s what really matters.

Haha yeah I agree completely. I don’t understand how anyone prefers floating windows. It just feels so clumsy to use now that i’m used to tiling.

Like how small? I tile on my 14" laptop screen and still infinitely prefer it over floating. Workspaces exist so you don’t clutter up one screen too much. Maybe people aren’t familiar with or used to taking advantage of multiple workspaces? I started using them more when i3 introduced me to a simple super+number hotkey system to switch quickly.

Sway is wayland. I’ve never used anything else. People rave about hyprland. Others in this thread have recommend plugins for the usual desktops. Probably easy enough to try one for whichever desktop you use now.

There exists a ton of youtube content creators showcasing all the tiling window managers. It’s like one of the most popular topics for linux enthusiast content creators.

Yeah, it was a revelation when I discovered tiling. I was always doing work with two windows open, and i’d spend so much time fiddling and resizing the windows. Then i’d open a third window and wouldn’t know what to do with it.

I used i3 for many years and switched to sway when migrating to wayland. It does what I need and see no reason to try hyprland or other tilers.

Most tiling window managers still have floating window capabilities, and notification popups will be on top of tiled windows.

Yeah agree. I do deficit deadlifts and pullups, 5 sets each, on the same day, and they drain me so much that i usually only do 1 or 2 more exercises on those days.

He also didn’t say how many days per week he was gonna lift. I also don’t like PPL for my schedule, which is one lift day every third day, as it doesn’t hit legs enough.

I’ll also edit and add that a bunch of his listed exercises are isolated machines and so may be less fatiguing and thus might be able to get away with less rest and fit it all in a reasonable time.

I would say that mostly applies to the story. Warcraft 3 introduced the epic Arthas story line and wotlk is the conclusion to that. Nothing else they’ve done with wow on the story side has really compared to that. Though if you never played warcraft 3, this may not have as much impact on you. Oh and the story in some later expansions really stinks, such as shadowlands.

However, from the actual gameplay side, I would argue retail is infinitely superior now. Classes have mechanical depth and options. Max level content is much more varied with raids, mythic+, and delves. Warband features make the game so much more casual friendly, allowing you to hop around on alts.

If all you care about is the leveling experience and you don’t want to really play much at max level, then classic and especially wotlk is kinda peak wow at that, but otherwise, retail is an improved game as a whole.

I was cycling through a bunch of different jams and preserves for a bit. Apricot preserves ended up being my favorite and is my default now. Strawberry is really low on my personal preference list, well below grape.

I have a food processor - making peanut butter from peanuts is so simple.

Yeah I discovered IA and freak kitchen when I introduced Soilwork to a guitarist friend a long time ago and he pointed out that many of the really unique guitar solos were done by mattias and that freak kitchen existed.

I haven’t really listened to much of his stuff in the past decade though.

There’s tons of youtube videos / tutorials on how to create a live usb of a distro, such as linux mint. This will allow you to boot into linux and play around without installing anything and get a feel for linux. It’s nowhere as tech wizardry as you think.

And if all your games are on steam and don’t have anti cheat things, they’ll probably just all work with proton (linux compatibility tool in steam).

Same here. Most of my reddit usage was on my phone and used baconreader. When they killed 3rd party apps I switched to lemmy. My only reddit usage now is occasionally clicking on reddit links to search results on niche topics. Though i don’t do that much on my phone because of the annoyance of reddit constantly requesting to open in app instead of mt browser.

I kinda like that AI scrapes all of reddit as my Kagi searches can summarize reddit results without actually going to reddit.

I also don’t use any other social media, such as mastodon. I quit facebook about a decade ago and see zero reason to join anything else.

Nuphy? I don’t know if it meets all your needs but maybe nuphy air 96. Works with VIA and they sell shine through keycaps.

Local gardening stores often carry ladybugs. I just bought some yesterday when buying some topsoil. The true value hardware store near me also stocks ladybugs.

Yeah, that fake competence is a big thing. Physics Education Research has become a big field and while i don’t follow it too closely, that seems to be a reoccuring theme - students think they are learning the material with such reliance on AI.

I intend to read a bit more of this over the summer and try to dedicate a bit of the first day or two next semester addressing how this usage of chatgpt hurts their education. I teach a lot of engineering students, which already has around a 80% attrition rate, i.e. 200 freshman, but only 40 of these graduate with an engineering degree. Probably won’t change behavior at all, but I gotta try something.

Yep same here. I liked having homework a significant portion of grade. But with the prevalence of chatgpt, am reducing that portion of the grade and increasing the in-class exam weight.

This is mostly the purpose of my homework. I assign daily homework. I don’t expect students to get the correct answers but instead attempt them and then come to class with questions. My lectures are typically short so that i can dedicate class time to solving problems and homework assignments.

I always open my class with “does anyone have any questions on the homework?”. Prior chatgpt, students would ask me to go through all the homework, since much of my homework is difficult. Last semester though, with so many students using chatgpt, they rarely asked me about the homework… I would often follow up with “Really? No questions at all?”

Chatgpt output isn’t crap anymore. I teach introductory physics at a university and require fully written out homework, showing math steps, to problems that I’ve written. I wrote my own homework many years ago when chegg blew up and all major textbook problems were on chegg.

Just two years ago, chatgpt wasn’t so great at intro physics and math. It’s pretty good now, and shows all the necessary steps to get the correct answer.

I do not grade my homework on correctness. Students only need to show me effort that they honestly attempted each problem for full credit. But it’s way quicker for students to simply upload my homework pdf to chatgpt and copy down the output than give it their own attempt.

Of course, doing this results in poor exam performance. Anecdotally, my exams from my recent fall semester were the lowest they’ve ever been. I put two problems on my final that directly came from from my homework, one of them being the problem that made me realize roughly 75% of my class was chatgpt’ing all the homework as chatgpt isn’t super great at reading angles from figures, and it’s like these students had never even seen a problem like it before.

I’m not completely against the use of AI for my homework. It could be like a tutor that students ask questions to when stuck. But unfortunately that takes more effort than simply typing “solve problems 1 through 5, showing all steps, from this document” into chatgpt.
