I’ve been on a glp1 medication to treat obesity for about 2 months now, and its wild how well it works. Im down about 25 lbs. The most striking part to me is that I took a week off during month 2 because I needed a break from feeling sick and fatigued all the time, and during my break week I was getting full on just under half the food I’d eat in a sitting prior to starting the medication.
All that being said, im still convinced that the most effective part of ozempic is how fucking sick it makes you feel all the time. In my case its gotten to the point that the threat of digestive pain caused by eating while on ozempic is a bigger motivator than hunger; 5 days a week lately my food intake is “enough greens to make fibrous poop, enough crackers to absorb some of the excess stomach acid and mitigate heartburn, and a multivitamin”

None. Just cheat. It will prepare you for the real world better than pretending to respect the authority of morons.

Yeah turns out two years of above inflation pay rises dont make up for 40 or 50 years of wage stagnation. Fucking wankers

I just block that community. Not like out of malice or anything but it prevents me from commenting on a post without looking at the comm name. I try to make a habit of not spending time in places where I am not welcome

I never got this. The people in my life who call themselves sluts are some of the warmest most caring people in my life. I have to remember not to call people slut as a compliment most of the time because of the people I know who choose that title for themselves

My first speeding ticket happened during college. I had to take a few weeks driving course, cut luxuries out of my life for a month, and pick up extra shifts at my job for a month to handle it. It was an overall miserable experience.
My next speeding ticket happened while I was an engineer. I literally paid it off on my phone while the officer was doing paperwork on the side of the road AND gave them an extra $100 because I could do that instead of any kind of driving course. I stopped caring about it at all 10 minutes later. It was fucking wild to see “laws are only for the poors” in action like that

I’ve legit been thinking about this since i posted the comment lol. I think the target area should probably be a minimal regular hexagon, but I honestly dont have the mathematical chops to figure it out myself or to know which would be more interesting.
Intuition tells me to either try to reduce the problem to like convex hull or figure out a reasonable way to generate random packings and just monte carlo it a few million times for a close to optimal solution. A reasonable way to generate random packings feels like it would be way harder to implement than it sounds

I wonder what the optimal packing of 17 hexagons looks like

I used to maintain an excel database along with an ecosystem of internal engineering tools in excel/vba. I worked in a vault, and one day I asked my isso if I could get python on some of the machines in my lab. A full 1.5 years later they got back to me that some security office was finally ready to consider my request and sent me a bunch of paperwork to fill out to justify why I needed python. And separate copies for each individual library I wanted to come with it. Needless to say I went on continuing to maintain my excel database and toolkit

YouTube. Straight up. When I learned to code my yt search history was a million different versions of “how to <do thing> in python” for months. I also really liked the “Computational methods for physics” textbook (you can find the pdf for free on cambridge website), but that book is written for an audience that knows near graduate math but starts praying if their advisor asks them to write a program
- Comment on Thoughts?? 4 weeks ago:
That might be the stupidest thought terminating cliché ive ever heard. The virtue of the tool absolutely does matter. I’m not out here trying to metaphorically mine iron with a pickaxe when we have metaphorical excavators available, and no amount of expertise will allow somebody to be more efficient with the pickaxe than any random novice with an excavator.

Old people and technology man. My advisor during my masters was an absolutely brilliant woman; she’s one of the people who has been basically defining the field of data science since the early 90s. The first time I ever published with her, I sent my first draft and her response was “can you convert this to docx? I don’t know how to work with tex.” I still think she’s one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever known but damn did it hurt to work on Microsoft word documents with her

I don’t think this is loss. I’m ready to eat crow if I’m proven wrong, but I think the real joke is the amount of time people will spend staring at this image and trying to figure out how it’s loss
- Comment on Anon gets philosophical 4 weeks ago:
This blew my mind the first time I experienced it. I thought I just didn’t like receiving head for the longest time, because none of my past girlfriends really liked doing it and my pleasure tends to be pretty empathetic. Then I “dated” a woman in an open relationship/swinger situation who actively wanted my dick in her mouth most of the time. The first time she blew me (and honestly also most times after that too) she managed to get me into a full on autistic sensory overload state, like to the point that I was forgetting to breathe. It worked out super well for me because that made her feel like a sex goddess, and she really liked repeating that experience. It was strange because like, I’ve never felt more submissive in my life than when she had me in her mouth. She could turn me into a lump of playdough with a hopelessly misfiring central nervous system, and I was entirely at her mercy when that happened. I’d still make ruinous life decisions to spend another night in her bed lol

I’m one of them, haha. My archives are nice and organized, but anything related to a current project I’m working on either lives on the desktop or lives at ~, depending on which machine I’m using. Automated output type files go into a structure (like any kind of processed or cleaned data), but figures? References? Drafts? FFA on the desktop. For whatever reason I just cannot function with an organized workspace

Seriously, why would anybody bother putting their papers in a folder when the desktop is just right there?
