  • Preparation is the problem.

    If you know the enemy is going to walk across a specific field at a specific time you can prepare. Pre-sight artillery, arrange a mine field, lay an ambush, flood the field, etc.

    I’d you don’t know the enemies plans you have to prepare for all possibilities and you can’t concentrate your resources

    You can do anything, but you can’t do everything. In the military there is the concept of defeat-in-detail. Even if you have a better force, with larger numbers, a engagement where the enemy has concentrated resources can overwhelm the superior force in small engagements. This is the key behind guerilla warfare, the weaker force attacks the stronger force where they don’t anticipate, strike fast, disappear.







  • When google started to index paywalled things… I thought that was pretty evil. Showing google content but not normal internet users. Giving sites the ability to have their cake and eat it too.

    When reddit decided to force logging in to see some subreddits on mobile, I decided they were evil.

    This is why I’m on Lemmy posting content, we have to use open platforms if we want them to succeed. This is the first time I’ve used social media. I’m doing it as a civic duty



  • It’s the thermodynamic basis, but not the clinical basis. The carbohydrate insulin model of obesity is far more clinically relevant.

    The human body is a hormonal machine, the hormones keep everything in check. As long as the hormones are functioning properly hunger and fullness will regulate body weight optimally.

    To gain 1 lbs in a month it’s a 30 calories difference per meal. I don’t care how good your calorie tracking is, there is no way you can measure down to 30 calories per meal correctly.

    It’s far easier to eat food that doesn’t spike insulin, and let the bodies normal feedback mechanisms regulate hunger.






  • Move on, it’s a sign your not important to the other person, so they are not worth worrying about

    I’ve got a friend who just dips from the conversation for months and shows back up like nothing happened. Now I respond to their new message, but use signals timed message feature to match however long they ghosted the conversation. Disappear for 2 months then ask a question? No problem, the answer is coming in 60 days!
