Loosing weight, and keeping it off, is not only about eating less, but also about doing it in a way which is effortless. If you keep struggling to eat less, you're gonna have a bad time loosing weight and keeping it off.

Anecdotally, I effortlessly consume much fewer calories throughout the day if I delay my first meal to 13:00 (I usual get up around 8.00). That is to say, it's much easier for me to delay breakfast, than to start fasting only after e.g. 16.00 (because then I'm hungry when trying to fall asleep, and I end up eating right before going to sleep just to be able to fall asleep)

On top of that, eating fewer, but larger, meals also helps me eat less throughout the day. It's very easy to overload on calories by snacking. Also, with snacking, you keep your blood sugar high, which makes you hungry, which makes you snack more.

By having longer breaks between meals, you not only eat less, you do so with very little effort.

So what about apps through which you can purchase physical goods, like Amazon's app (I presume one exists)? Do those also have to give 30% cut to apple?

If I host my own mediawiki, will the fixed line length be enabled automatically, or do I have to configure something?

I've deployed 1.34.2, but lines still seem to span the entire screen.

Can we fix the title of this thread, please? It's pretty ambiguous.

Wiki: (...) Woodward states there is no violation of momentum conservation in Mach effects:

If we produce a fluctuating mass in an object, we can, at least in principle, use it to produce a stationary force on the object, thereby producing a propulsive force thereon without having to expel propellant from the object. We simply push on the object when it is more massive, and pull back when it is less massive. The reaction forces during the two parts of the cycle will not be the same due to the mass fluctuation, so a time-averaged net force will be produced. This may seem to be a violation of momentum conservation. But the Lorentz invariance of the theory guarantees that no conservation law is broken. Local momentum conservation is preserved by the flux of momentum in the gravity field that is chiefly exchanged with the distant matter in the universe.

So much hate in the comments. Have some hope, people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse " The Fediverse (a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe") is the ensemble of federated (i.e. interconnected) servers that are used for web publishing (i.e. social networking, microblogging, blogging, or websites) and file hosting, but which, while independently hosted, can communicate with each other. On different servers (instances), users can create so-called identities. These identities are able to communicate over the boundaries of the instances because the software running on the servers supports one or more communication protocols which follow an open standard. As an identity on the fediverse, users are able to post text and other media, or to follow posts by other identities. In some cases, users can even show or share data (video, audio, text, and other files) publicly or to a selected group of identities and allow other identities to edit other users' data (such as a calendar or an address book)."

Most of the time and in most places use proven, boring, technologies.

There's time and place for using cutting edge solutions. But if that time is 'always' and that place is 'everywhere', you might be doing it wrong.

Keep things simple.

If you like chromium ecosystem, I suggest trying the Vivaldi browser. https://vivaldi.com

It won me over with (1) the ability to split the window into multiple tabs (2) ability to turn any webpage into a side-bar "applet-thingy" -- great for having whatsapp, todoist, always on the side while you switch tabs.

It also has plenty of other features aimed at power-users.

"mega-millions", so... "trillions" ?

Why is the camera shaking so badly?

Is it to add "drama", or did they forget (or were not allow do) to bring their tripods?
