  1. @Xerces 🎯 👽
  2. @YIDIRYIDIR sounds like 'play' mindset? Leo has some great advice around that - a few blog posts floating here and there too!
  3. Construction actually - but most of construction is based around massive legal contracts. Big money sums usually mean astronomical contacts with hundreds of clauses. I am very wary of what I sign, and what I authorise the business to sign. LLMs are great at translating and summarising the loopholes and red flags 🙂
  4. You aren't approaching anything here in good faith or to have a conversation. You just want to insist on your worldview. Attachment to our story can and often does produce emotional reaction. Your attempt to debunk has fallen into reductionism. This is my stance. It's not going to change. Don't waste your energy.
  5. Some of the contracts I have with clients are 200-300 pages long, part of my job is administering them. I use AI to help understand some jargon - really helps !
  6. Plug it into AI and prompt for the parts you need to watch for? Or common trips?
  7. Where did I say this? It's possible to not get angry when someone cuts one off in traffic. It's possible to get angry when one cuts one off on traffic.
  8. If one method worked then the diet industry wouldn't be as big as it is. Some people cannot eat intuitively. For some people that would mean eating nothing but ice-cream. Some people have broken appetites. Eating disorders. Metabolic disorders. Different styles of eating work for different people. But you cannot beat the laws of thermodynamics - burn more than you consume. It is as simple as that. Easiest way is to eat 80% vegetables and meat. Remain in a deficit. Carbs are easy to cut because they are not essential like protein and fats. The best diet is the one you can sustain, be sane and results in health. Repeat. The best diet is the one you can maintain and be sane. I recommend exercise for long term health. If you just cut youll look and most likely feel like shit. Do some zone 2 cardio. Even yoga is good. Anything to move the body or else it will rust. Don't be a puss puss - get the heartrate up 😄
  9. It is pretty bad in Melbourne. I am rather the social butterfly to gain information - I know a lot of the service station owners in my area. They have had a lot of theft and people hoarding fuel (filling storage bottles). Diesel is like $3.30/litre atm, and all our contractors are hitting us with fuel fees on top of delivery.
  10. @ROOBIO Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the earnest and vulnerable words.
  11. Anyone else experiencing being force-kicked from being logged in continually? Might just be my settings.
  12. @Leo Gura Does pickup teach you to sit with and endure discomfort? Without making it the central aim - obviously the pootang is the aim
  13. Glad to roll with it then! It is your creation, after all
  14. @Xonas Pitfall I agree with Leo above! You really break people's premise and stances down in a thorough way with openness and good faith. Much better than me - I tend to just go 'Yeah, no. This is wrong' and do not always have the energy to go into how and why Which pisses some people off...
  15. @CARDOZZO Will try this!! Will try this next. Then possibly throw myself out the window just to really solve all problems
  16. Oh boy - have fun What distro? I've always marvelled it is free. I donate what I can to all the software I use that is free. Even if it's just a buck or two.
  17. Thank you all for helping me troubleshoot - it is a minor issue in the scheme of things. Gives my mind some time to chew the fat while I key in my login details each time, at least
  18. Tried this - but will try again regardless. I have gone in and changed that setting also - I will give it some time as you recommend.
  19. @CARDOZZO Do you mean like when you initially load the forum index? Or when you load the page and it is retrieved as cached version? In both cases, I previously loaded the pages logged in 100% of the time. Now, it is a coinflip; I might load actualized.org and be logged in. I might load it 5 minutes later and I am logged out - then I click a subforum and I find myself logged in. Other times, I load the website totally logged out - go to a subforum - I remain logged out. All within a single session of the browser running. Regardless of it I have a tab open with another page from the Actualized.org forum. Quite the strange thing.
  20. Oooooh! I haven't read this - but I will add it to the list
  21. Heh heh indeed - it always comes down to defining terms Also if we speak from relative or absolute
  22. Free will and agency are a lie - I just roll on as if they are true operationally. That means I take action to influence a potential outcome when opportunity arises. I don't know I will obtain the outcome I desire, I just need to wisdom to know when to act. And then proceed to act on the greatest statistical likelihood of me producing what I want. Pick the right time and thing and take action. I actually don't mind living this way, because I am way less attached to outcome. And less of my own ego gets in the way - especially professionally
  23. @Xonas Pitfall it is the way @Leo Gura states things matter of fact & with confident delivery. Things become hard to filter (opinion from teaching/truth) because there is spitball Leo, and there is teacher/facilitator Leo. I normally probe for further nuance/clarification. So it requires everything taken in good faith. Unless Leo is being a naughty and reacting egoically - which we all do from time to time
  24. They are TINY! I love them - they come marching out of the ocean at Phillip Island CUTENESS OVERLOAD
  25. He's amazing! Solutions man - thanks for your help, as always. Will sing out if the issue persists.
