My only suggestion would be to go down slower. Otherwise I think you've got good form. Don't worry too much about the weight. Just slowly increase the reps or weight when possible.

You might be able to fiddle with feet position to get as low without the plate. But there's nothing really wrong with using the plate.

Are your legs/glutes sore after? That's what really matters.

I think there's a few on f-droid though i've never used any so can't recommend one over the other. I also don't know where they are developed but if american, probably just one person or open source team and not a company.

Yeah agree. I do deficit deadlifts and pullups, 5 sets each, on the same day, and they drain me so much that i usually only do 1 or 2 more exercises on those days.

He also didn't say how many days per week he was gonna lift. I also don't like PPL for my schedule, which is one lift day every third day, as it doesn't hit legs enough.

I'll also edit and add that a bunch of his listed exercises are isolated machines and so may be less fatiguing and thus might be able to get away with less rest and fit it all in a reasonable time.

I was cycling through a bunch of different jams and preserves for a bit. Apricot preserves ended up being my favorite and is my default now. Strawberry is really low on my personal preference list, well below grape.

I have a food processor - making peanut butter from peanuts is so simple.

Yeah I discovered IA and freak kitchen when I introduced Soilwork to a guitarist friend a long time ago and he pointed out that many of the really unique guitar solos were done by mattias and that freak kitchen existed.

I haven't really listened to much of his stuff in the past decade though.

Same here. Most of my reddit usage was on my phone and used baconreader. When they killed 3rd party apps I switched to lemmy. My only reddit usage now is occasionally clicking on reddit links to search results on niche topics. Though i don't do that much on my phone because of the annoyance of reddit constantly requesting to open in app instead of mt browser.

I kinda like that AI scrapes all of reddit as my Kagi searches can summarize reddit results without actually going to reddit.

I also don't use any other social media, such as mastodon. I quit facebook about a decade ago and see zero reason to join anything else.

Nuphy? I don't know if it meets all your needs but maybe nuphy air 96. Works with VIA and they sell shine through keycaps.

Yeah, that fake competence is a big thing. Physics Education Research has become a big field and while i don't follow it too closely, that seems to be a reoccuring theme - students think they are learning the material with such reliance on AI.

I intend to read a bit more of this over the summer and try to dedicate a bit of the first day or two next semester addressing how this usage of chatgpt hurts their education. I teach a lot of engineering students, which already has around a 80% attrition rate, i.e. 200 freshman, but only 40 of these graduate with an engineering degree. Probably won't change behavior at all, but I gotta try something.

Yep same here. I liked having homework a significant portion of grade. But with the prevalence of chatgpt, am reducing that portion of the grade and increasing the in-class exam weight.

Chatgpt output isn't crap anymore. I teach introductory physics at a university and require fully written out homework, showing math steps, to problems that I've written. I wrote my own homework many years ago when chegg blew up and all major textbook problems were on chegg.

Just two years ago, chatgpt wasn't so great at intro physics and math. It's pretty good now, and shows all the necessary steps to get the correct answer.

I do not grade my homework on correctness. Students only need to show me effort that they honestly attempted each problem for full credit. But it's way quicker for students to simply upload my homework pdf to chatgpt and copy down the output than give it their own attempt.

Of course, doing this results in poor exam performance. Anecdotally, my exams from my recent fall semester were the lowest they've ever been. I put two problems on my final that directly came from from my homework, one of them being the problem that made me realize roughly 75% of my class was chatgpt'ing all the homework as chatgpt isn't super great at reading angles from figures, and it's like these students had never even seen a problem like it before.

I'm not completely against the use of AI for my homework. It could be like a tutor that students ask questions to when stuck. But unfortunately that takes more effort than simply typing "solve problems 1 through 5, showing all steps, from this document" into chatgpt.

This looks to be a fork of organic maps? What is the difference? Or advantages?
