You can; and you will.
I unfortunately don’t see structural reform in your short to medium term future.

This joke was used in Hancock, car instead of boy. But a bunch of people got angry at Hancock for destroying a train rather than lifting the car out of the way.

I looked at the picture and was initially wondering why the front car is in the wrong…took a moment to realize that this is probably from a country where they drive on the wrong side of the road.

I’m in NZ, of there is a naive blackberry, I’ve never heard of it. But we have a lot of blackberry in this country, it all sucks.
- Comment on Mint 2 months ago:
They are spreading seeds… That is the point of the berries.
Nothing eats the plant.
Even goats, which famously will eat blackberry, will eat anything else first.
- Comment on Mint 2 months ago:
Blackberry is evil.
If it is not native to your country don’t plant it! Nothing eats it, grows extremely quickly and is very hard to get rid of.

Agreed.
I wish it was already sorted… But I fear that is not in the cards just yet.
There will be more killing for no gain, at the end things will mostly go back to how they have been. Everybody loses!

I showed this to someone at work today, we were discussing the three main branches of the war (military, economic and propaganda). Iran has the propaganda war dialled in… Some of the Stuff is really well done.

Good old Cyanogen, my 10yo found my old nexus one in a draw, charged it up and turned it on…CyanogenMod boot screen, nice.

I try to focus on outcomes.
E.g. it takes me 28 minutes to bike too work, next month I want it to be around 25…in a few months it would need nice to be at 20 minutes.

Whilst this is true; your body does have some pretty neat tricks to maintain homeostasis; it can shift the energy budget around quite a bit to where it is needed.
Your body will down regulate some systems to try to keep your total energy balance within what is “normal” for each person.
Digestion uses quite a bit of energy; this is why sometimes you feel sleepy after eating; your brain has been down regulated to enable digestion.
Another common example is when runners get into “the zone”; this is your brain prioritising the required processes and reducing the energy of other parts, putting you into a semi trance…this is so your body can maintain an energy balance.
It is also why we sometimes feel sick if exercising hard and then eat quickly afterward; your gut is not ready for that job.
High energy process that can be “switched off” or at least significantly reduced:
- Brain processes (up to 25% of your energy budget)
- Immune system (~20% when fighting infection)
- Digestion (dependent on food 3[sugar] - 30[protein]% of food energy)
Just because you have done some exercise; doesn’t mean you have used more total energy that day…it seems counter intuitive; but your body likely shifted energy from one thing (immune system, brain) to muscles, for the time your were exercising.
In saying that exercising is so good for other things; physical and mental health are enhanced by exercise, there are so many good things about exercise, just don’t rely on it for weight loss.
As the old saying goes “you can’t out run a bad diet”; you are correct, if over the long term you eat fewer calories than your body requires, you will see an effect. But your body is a tricksy beast, it will do all it can to prevent this; it is why dieting is so hard in an age of abundant food.
