Fun story.

The licensing changed for Gates’ own Nonprofits too.

Aight. You do you.

I for for a fact I can work anyone breathing to the point they are maxing their heart rate and can’t stand for a half hour after we are done.

If you are not hitting that at home it’s on you.

I did 10 miles today on a stationary bike at a 3 minute mile pace. Then I set target heart rate of 145 and never dropped below it for 1 and a half hours as I did my circuit and strength plan.

Get creative with it. You can use nothing but a foam roll and get a completely wrecking aerobic workout.

You can input any bulk food and its stats into the tool. I cook most everything I eat. Lots of veggies and chicken.

All my workouts can be done at home with a few inexpensive items.

I have chronic pain. I was instructed by the pain clinic I went to, under no uncertain terms, to exercise 5 times a week. No taking a day because I feel sore or tired or because the overwhelming blinding pain is screaming at me not to. I just have to do it.

That was a year ago.

I am still going.

I went from sedentary for a decade to a healthy BMI and muscle mass because of 1 rule.

Don’t let how I feel guide how I act.

Fuck me it was hard. It is hard. It was hard today. It was hard every single day.

I have currently a torn labrum, a torn rotator cuff, 3 torn things in my knee, 4 bulging disks in my back, a herniated disk, arthritis in 5 joints, and a titanium cage holding part of my spine together.

If you can commit to tracking every single thing you eat in the app MyNetDiary ( it scans barcodes and is free), and exercising 5 times a week; I guarantee two things will happen.

1.) I will do the same and have an accountability buddy to keep me going.

2.) You WILL be successful in the weight loss and gaining a healthy life.

Your call if you want to transform your life.

I have PT exercises and low impact options for days. I have whole fitness plans and diet plans from distinctions, and hundreds of hours with PTs. I have so much to share with someone whose life I can help gain so so much…

You just have to commit to joining me.

A year from now you could be vastly different than you are now. So could I. IF we keep our promises to ourselves and one another.

There was the girl with cancer getting treatment in the US who was deported a couple weeks ago. She is a US citizen.

Her parents declared they were not, but were taking her over the border through a checkpoint to see her oncologist. As they have done 4 times prior without issue.

They were arrested and deported all.

Talk about jumping 4 steps down the road.

They are uniformed. No global convention or agreement mandates those elements be on a uniform. The nametag, unit patch, and other items on the uniform are just ways that force happens to enhance identification within the unit.

They are identified as uniformed members of a military force. This satisfies the convention.

None of this matters or applies at all given that there is no combat occurring that would fall under the Geneva convention. So they could be plain clothes officers and it wouldn’t apply.

Trump is a sack of dog turds, and what he is doing is largely stupid speed run overreach, but this hyperbolic shit just harms credibility of the already massive list of shit he is violating.

I need to know where you got this Lego set

Worked at a major company you would instantly know the name of.

They were a large corporation but were not public ally traded. Trillions of dollars in assets with more than 60k people employed.

DEI was a MAJOR push, with not just required corporate training but also sessions held often for minority groups of all types to speak their minds in forums about how to connect with them etc.

DEI initiatives and campaigns were a thing, VP of DEI was hired and they had a whole subsection under HR. Corporate events, entertainment, whole virtual bands playing to the theme of inclusion.

This same company did nothing when facing the burning obvious culture of being yes men to their bosses. They did nothing different than most any other massive rich company for how they treated workers, tracking their activity, location, and even physical assess login to buildings for reviews or as excuse to fire.

In an large address by a major leader in the organization I personally gave virtual written innocuous feedback, that they asked for, only to have that be met within minutes with being told never to do that again. The message wasn’t even seen by the speaker. It was just purely culturally unacceptable to offer any constructive criticism of any kind to people in high enough authority.

More than half a dozen people messaged me to tell me they appreciated I gave it public ally and it needed saying. I didn’t know any of them.

So if people are so important and we value voices being heard equally so much, why would you have people desperate to be treated like people and any such statement be met with greats of reprisal?

Yeah. DEI is fan fare in the same way the office cafeteria and gym were. They are designed to entice talent to come or stay while costing the company minimal amounts to do so.

Most modern cancer drug treatment is sequenced to at least the specific proteins of the type of cancer it is.

Have breast cancer? Cool. We figure out which of the many variations so that we can give you medications for that exact type of breast cancer.

This sort of specific targeting has been increasing and increasing for the last 20 years. MRNA is the next step of that and is highly likely to be a means or become or for treatments in many other areas.

Opinion letter.

None of the accusations in the title can be substantiated, more than a dozen other apps and technologies are backed by the same organization the article mentions funds part of a signal’s budget.

Assertions that TOR has a governmental back door, that the CIA wants people to use Signal, are not substantiated, and the article states at the same time that there are fears the anonymity of Signal threatens western governments. Can’t have it both ways.

The only definitive thing this article can prove or cite is where some OTF funding goes, which was publicly disclosed since it’s inception. It reads like a /r/superstonk GME reeeeeee post equivalent for communication security by a ti foil hat.

Sure it does, but that doesn’t make it bad.

Open source code is not the only solution to secure communication.

You can be extremely secure on closed source tools as well.

If they found specific issues with Signal aside from not being allowed to freely inspect their code base, I suspect we would be hearing about it. Instead I don’t see specific security failings just hat it didn’t make the measure for their security software audit.

As an example of something that is closed source and trusted:

The software used to load data and debug the F-35 fighter jet.

Pretty big problem for 16 countries if that isn’t secure… closed source. So much s you can’t even run tests against the device for loading data to the jet live. It’s a problem to sort out, but it’s an example of where highly important communication protocols are not open source and trusted by the governments of many countries.

If their particular standard here was open source, ok, but they didn’t do anything to assure the version they inspected would be the only version used. In fact every release from that basement pair of programmers could inadvertently have a flaw in it, which this committee would not be reviewing in the code base for its members of parliament.

Not being able to inspect their code vs no passing are different things.

Who is we and deep into what?

I simply responded to your statement that you couldn’t think of a way to express the position without sounding as if you were against another people.

It feels very very simple.

The actions of those who cause harm to innocent people are deplorable. Those who order such actions or commit them, should be held accountable. I don’t have to say any proper nouns or even make it specific to this conflict to express that.

“I don’t want the response to horrific things to be more horrific things inflicted on those who have no control of these events.”

That seems pretty cut and dry…

hah, you think these trades are in a 3rd normal form database instead of unsorted excel sheets passed for nightly batch job settling transactions? Nahhhhh fam.

I work for one of the largest private investment firms in the world.

The scrutiny is something I understand well. We have a lot more thorough checks than his firm does. Real name, kids, spouse, girlfriend living in your house, parents, all part of the review process and more. Significant individuals as well as non-person entities you are tied to in any way.

You could, in theory, still get past it, but you would be doing a lot more money movement to do so.

The front running trades amounted to a total of 6% of all the personal trades he made in that period.

I think he was assuming, that inter dispersed in the group and traded in segments of the sums, it would be hard to dig through the mountain to spot the relationships to the company trades.

We do distinguish primary residence vs non-primary residence for property records. Should be doable to remove the corporate purchases that way.
