  • Working engineer with a bachelor’s and a master’s degree 👋. I credit an older sister who got into the world first who gave warning to us younger ones and the good sense to listen to her advice. I can clock a homeschooler a mile out but the well educated, well socialized ones have put in a lot of effort to get there and I won’t out them if they don’t want to be. The well-adjusted ones don’t talk about it much, same as a public school educated person wouldn’t bring up their grade school experience frequently.

    I don’t block super quickly unless they’re obvious spam, bot, or troll with bad intentions. I am very quick to apply user tags my Lemmy client supports so that I can flag them for future reference. I use yellow to mean they’re sus, consider their intent and recent history before engaging. I use red to mean “do not engage” just sit back and watch other people fall into the trap. I use Green for interesting people to pay attention to when they post or comment, like the dude/ette we have on Lemmy who is actively working on the Roku client for Jellyfin.



  • Stop pushing yourself to where you feel like you’re dying. If you’re new to this much exercise, you’re having to build up both muscles/tendons and breath.

    Tendons and connective tissue take longer to condition than muscles. Don’t push to injury.

    Aerobic capacity grows by working out in aerobic range. If you push past that to when you’re gasping for breath, you aren’t improving your aerobic capacity as efficiently as you could.

    Nerd rabbit hole, you want Zone 2 training and you can find a bajillion YouTube videos on it. The less-nerd version is run until you start losing your breath, slow down or even walk until you catch it again, run until you lose it, rinse and repeat.

    Couch to 5k programs are fine. I think if you’re trying to do this for longer-term goals than a 5k in ten weeks, then look for zone 2 training instead of couch to 5k. Zone 2 training will be slower advancement but result in a more robust base.






  • At my university (US), one of my calculus professors with a 150+ student lecture hall would repeatedly open his lecture with a slide showing his church and an invitation for students to join him there on Sunday. Absolutely inappropriate to proselytize a captive audience under his power to pass/fail them. There has to be some accountability for universities to stop this, but not to harass a person wearing a cross necklace or a koppel or a hijab. Shame this is legislated at such a high level instead of people just being professional and not a*holes.
