The thing is you're describing the acolyte as well. Same approach one turned out great the other not so great

In their defence Trump is a catalyst. He has this habit of taking systems where guardrails were eroded over decades and exploiting them.

I.e. business as usual but worse

Is react native resource intensive? Also unrelated is vibe coding worth learning?

I do think we tend to underestimate how much you can accomplish with 5 minutes of study a day. My main problem with Duolingo is that it isn't effective, but if I spent the same 5 minutes using anki or a better tool I get results

I have trouble sticking with things. Gamification is absolutely manipulative but it also worked for me. I tried to keel that streak going even when it did nothing for my goals. So I kept the gamification but changed the app so that I'm manipulating myself to further my goals and it works just as well

The gamification is genuinely so helpful. You can get it through other apps like habitica with some setup. I have ADHD too but I found Duolingo good for habit building but jot the greatest for actual language learning

Steamos might be cool as a gaming rig too arch based so you get the best of both worlds

I guess I am thinking of droids as not having free will even if they are sentient.

I don't find the expense of a hyperdrive to be a valid point though mostly because even if they are expensive they can't be that expensive. Han Solo has one and he never seemed like a character with money. I.e. an individual likely wouldn't be able to try this but an army, with unquestioning soldiers and an immoral general would absolutely try it imo. 1 life/ship lost to kill a fleet is a worthwhile trade

It's a bad star wars movie because of the hyperspace ram.

SciFi inherently requires suspension of disbelief and so I find the way these types of stories ground themselves is through the rules they set. For example fire/explosions don't really make sense in space but its a consistent thing so w/e.

Hyperspace ramming breaks the entire concept of Star wars BC why hasn't anyone done it before? Its the perfect weapon for asymmetrical warfare, its cheap and its very effective. Imagine how a weapon like that could be used with a robot piloting a junk ship, why even build a death star just strap a bunch of garbage to a hyperspace drive and ram it into a planet. Its so effective that every fight in the future needs to consider it as well.

I'd defend this movie far more if it didn't do this. But it didn't only damage its own movie it damaged every story star wars has told retrospectively.

I have so much trouble condemning him because his foundation has saved 100k people. That's not nothing, and I always find it weird that nobody acknowledges it.

I think more than half the problem is that almost nobody is willing to talk with somebody who disagrees with them.

I use reddit sometimes and I see a lot of the same posts from the opposite view. I never really started seeing flaws in them until I followed the dunk tank lol. I'm going to see if slop has the same type of thing. Thanks for the reply

 

Is it still around? I haven't seen anything new there in a while

Push up, pull up, leg raise , and squat progressions daily at about 40% effort. Two hours between each set as per grease the groove. Ideal because I can run the routine in between breaks at work. Did the math on the reps and they equated to what I would be doing if I was on a 3 day split.

 

Hey everyone. I'm curious what books you've found to be useful in your own lives and if you have any reccomendations for us.

Mine would be the Compound Effect by Darren Hardy which talks about consistent small actions leading to momentum/habit and driving massive amounts of change.
