askchapo@hexbear.net•How come some people can work 8 hours straight and then have energy to hit the gym, but if I walk for 1 hour in the treadmil all that I can is lay down for the rest of the day?English
6·1 day agoI’ve always questioned this for the longest time until I’ve finally started to care about my physical health:
It has to do with their body’s overall fitness. There’s a lot more to fitness than BMI. Something like having stronger leg muscles or a stronger heart or a larger lung capacity or being more flexible effects every single physical motion, meaning the total sum of physical motion taken in those 8 hours is far less taxing on their bodies than someone who is less fit. This obviously also translates over to the actual exercise.
When I started out on my treadmill, I could barely walk for half a mile even holding on to the handrails. Now, I could jog an entire mile without breaking a sweat (cheating with cold climate lmao). Everything has a cumulative effect even down to how I physically move my legs. When I started out, I remember having lots of toe pain because I bruised my toes and it was because I more or less didn’t truly know how to jog. There was so much of “this part of my body hurts because I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing,” which adds up as well. I didn’t know that stretches serve a far more important role than showing off to people about how you could bend a certain part of your body a certain way.
The honest truth is that I thoroughly hated exercising for at least the first year or so and it was only through the sheer tiredness of having an unfit body for the vast majority of my life that I was able to power my way through to the point where exercising is less of a chore because my body has reached a point of fitness. After all this, I still wouldn’t say that I genuinely enjoy it, but there are good days where I feel great after exercising and there are days where I go, “Yep, still a fucking chore to do. Why can’t I just drink a glass tube of nanomachines that repair my body while I sit on my ass all day like before?” You take the good with the bad.

Syncthing@lemmy.ml•Folder size difference between Windows and Android.English
1·2 days agoProbably through some third-party window manager instead of explorer.exe because a cursory search shows that it’s impossible to do it even with regedit. I have no idea about third-party window managers for Windows outside of them existing.

Syncthing@lemmy.ml•Folder size difference between Windows and Android.English
2·2 days agoIt’s 308 GiB vs 331 GB. Windows misleadingly labels GiB as GB, which causes the issue. In general, there are three patterns:
-
1 GB = 109 B. This is how drive vendors and MacOS use it. When they say 2TB, they really mean 2 terabytes.
-
1 GB = 109 B and 1 GiB = 230 B with the option to pick which one to display. This is how most Linux distros handle it.
-
1 GB = 230 B. This is how Windows handles it.
I guess the file manager installed on your Android is using GB as an actual GB, not Windows’s mislabeling GiB as GB.

4·4 days agoThese days, Windows 11 is a janky experience on par with your average Linux distro tbf. OOTB Windows 11 is terrible, which means dicking around with third party software and regedit, and even OOTB Windows 11 is janky compared with previous Windows iterations ime.
Top left tool is a wire cutter. No multimeter and no soldering iron means you’re less likely to be a fixer of consumer electronics. I’m going to go with IT technician who mostly works with desktop PCs. You’re missing a bunch of tools if you’re doing serious IT field work (crimping tool, cable tester, tone generator). Maybe you’re the designated printer personTM, which explains the vodka lol
Edit: After peeking at the comments and learning what the bottom left tool is, I guess OP is a plumber or some kind of residential electrician.

technology@hexbear.net•AI-induced cultural stagnation is no longer speculation − it’s already happeningEnglish
14·4 days agoThey could just use the AI slop collage found in the article that’s a lot more eye-catching and actually relevant to the article instead of some generic photo of some random Asian chick in a sterile elevator. It’s like how every single article about Covid has to have a photo of some Asian person in a mask even when the article has nothing to do with Asia.

Oh I know, how about a photo of some random Asian chick waiting in some sterile-looking elevator to invoke the Orient’s proclivity towards rote memorization and inability to imagine life that is worth living?”

Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•Canada preparing for posible USA invasionEnglish
10·7 days agoAnd that’s just from a military perspective. Not all Canadian provinces are equally invested in the Canadian project, which the US can easily exploit. US occupation of Canada can entail formal annexation of Alberta as a US territory, independence of Quebec as a US vassal republic, and direct occupation of Anglo Canada minus Alberta with a collaborationist regime staffed by Albertans and Quebeois. Even if the Burgerlanders are somehow expelled, Canadians aren’t getting pre-invasion Canada back.

news@hexbear.net•Canadian military models response to hypothetical American invasionEnglish
18·7 days agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Plan_Red
A key move was a joint US Army-Navy attack to capture the port city of Halifax, cutting off the Canadians from their British allies. Their next objective was to “seize Canadian Power Plants near Niagara Falls.” This was to be followed by a full-scale invasion on three fronts: from Vermont to take Montreal and Quebec, from North Dakota to take over the railhead at Winnipeg, and from the Midwest to capture the strategic nickel mines of Ontario. In parallel, the US Navy was to seize the Great Lakes and blockade Canada’s Atlantic and Pacific ports.
The first strike with poison gas against the port city of Halifax was used to seize it, preventing the Royal Navy from using the naval base there, and cutting the undersea cable through Halifax, severing the connection between Britain and Canada.
American war planners had no thoughts of returning captured British territory: “The policy will be to prepare the provinces and territories of CRIMSON and RED to become U.S. states and territories of the BLUE union upon the declaration of peace.”
