Note: this is an old text (2012) but I just stumbled into it and found it was still relevant.

Yep, and unfortunately it's gonna keep being relevant for a while yet.

I realize this is an older post, but I just now found it. I'm actually using this this textbook resource right now as a result of your post. Thank you!

This is exactly why I am so frustrated that my youth was spent on girls, drinking, fucking off, and avoiding anything to do with all authority.

That lifestyle is behind me, and I want to do all this cool stuff, but lack the skills and the income to pull it off.

But this article has inspired me to really jump into a whole new DIY thing. Love the mindset and innovation for this. Thanks for this post!

This reminds me that I need to start using the Pi that I have. Life got busy, but I wanna refocus on it. Thanks for this, OP!

Love this cover!

I actually like the look of these!

I like the idea of it. I live in a house. And the windows thing stresses me out because of the expense of fixing them if broken, easy access for intruders, etc. lol

suppose we must push harder for remote work

But most remote work pays enough that housing isn't an issue. Many lower paying jobs require us to be on-site, and we're the ones that can't afford housing.

So I think the option is way more affordable housing, and removing the stigma around that. In my area it's called Section 8, and of course, those options always seem to be in the more crime-ridden areas. So frustrating.

I love the name and the idea. I'm def going to try to be a bigger participant of this sub!

Just curious, and not to beat a dead horse, but if Lemmy can give us notifications that comments are removed, why can't it do a simple ban notification as well?

Because I always get notified when a post or comment has been removed.

Seems simple enough make the removal notification that led to banning something as simple as "Your comment has been removed for xxxx reason. And now you are banned from the community due to reasons xxxxx."

I realize that my particular situation here has been resolved and we can move on, but I'm just curious if the lack of banning notifications is a software issue or if it's a philosophical issue for Lemmy and the fediverse.

My biggest issue is that I'm 55 years old. So if I eat more to bulk up a bit as I lift heavier, I lose my ab definition. But to keep my abs, I look skinny.

Getting lean buff is freakin hard at my age. Vanity-wise I look ok tho a bit scrawny, and most people don't believe my age.

I'm always amazed at athletes that can be both lean and muscular. I've found that I have to be one or the other. And I know that diet may be the key, so I'm trying to dial that in.

Funny thing tho, so I posted a shirtless selfie to AI, then told them my age and stats, and asked what it would take to be in the shape of a college rower. And asked for detailed routine and timing for that. And I'd like to follow it step-by-step after I finish my current "workout 100 days consistently using AI workouts" kick I'm on.

Pretty interesting answer, and I'll post it here in a few but I wonder if I might also have it do a diet for me.

Holy shit, that's a great point that I wouldn't have thought of. Great fucking point.
