I came to this exact conclusion a long time ago, except using intermittent fasting (i.e. “stop eating so much”):

    1. Use a fad diet (e.g. potato) to get down to 80 kg.

    2. Weigh yourself every morning

    3. If your average weight over a week ever exceeds 81 kg, spend the next week on the potato diet.

    4. Repeat forever.

Loved that book! I highly recommend it.

That said, nothing will prepare you for the reality. It’s like learning to swim in a lap pool, then getting dropped into the ocean in the middle of a storm.

Just learn as much as you can, talk to as many people as you can, and prepare yourself for the fact that you will not be prepared.

All good! Other than that, there’s nothing like a child saying “I love you too.” So, it’s all worth it once you get to it.

Congrats!

Thanks for the great summary. I’ve been renting an office from them for most of the year and all of what you’ve said rings true.

I wouldn't feel bad...those (phoneme, plosive, fricative, spirant, and affricate) are specialized vocabulary words from a specific domain (linguistics). I only know them because I have an interest in the topic. Other than phoneme, they describe how words are pronounced and/or formed in the mouth.

Wouldn’t that qualify as more of a technology than a product?

The current flows southward (from Alaska) on the west coast. Goes northward along the east coast.

Can you share the link to that study please?

Very nice! Bought one immediately (not even for an AirBnB listing, btw).
