The point I’m making is that a person who chronically overeats isn’t going to know when “enough is enough”. It’s incredibly easy for a person to overshoot their TDEE and end up gradually gaining weight while only eating until they’re full.

I say this as someone who works out 6 days a week, cycles 250km a week and works a fairly physical job. I probably eat close to 3500 calories a day just to maintain weight and I could still probably have some snacks.

If I wanted to lose weight and not count calories how would I do that? If I wanted to drop body fat and maintain muscle mass how would I do that without counting calories and macros?

Okay but like… What if I’m so used to eating a lot that I can pack down 3k cals in one go?

How me lose weight if no count food?

Yeah, RFID may be a shit way to go tbh. I was definitely thinking just traditional barcode scanners attached to a small computer on the cart.

I’m with you. Automatically charging sounds like a nightmare. I still always want a human to verify everything a computer says. I don’t trust a corporate entity to not try and rio me off.

Very interesting! I haven’t had the chance to do groceries in France yet. I’d love to see it though. It just seems so nice.

Well it’s a good thing they hardly ever employ cashiers and make me go through self-checkout. I’d never steal from self-checkout.

I’m guessing those checkouts you linked use some sort of RFID chip in the tag? Pretty interesting!

Brilliant minds think alike.

Knew a pilot who’s nickname was über. Last name? Guay.

Average 3rd Age user of 2nd age artefacts.

$3.94 CAD/2.74 USD at food basics in rural Ontario.

$2 for 12 eggs from a friend’s chickens.

So… About that. We were going to do that.

The government fast tracked the order of 80 F-35s because they fit our needs perfectly. There were complaints and lawsuits.

We cancelled the project (that we helped start with the US), lost like 100bn, did our contract hunting then settled on half the amount of F-35s for nearly double the cost.

All because we broke contract and lost our early purchase deal.

It’s all very short sighted and to be honest I can’t blame them for their brainwashing most of the time.

They hear if places with 30, 40, 50% tax rates and are appalled but they don’t realize that the combined income of a nation can more than subsidise education, healthcare and so much more while still affording an amazing quality of life.

They call Europeans poor because they don’t own 50 acres and a McMansion with 3 mud crawlers in the garage.

My buddy’s wife just doesn’t understand how far out tax money goes and thinks our government is just as corrupt as hers.

Significantly less so when you don’t have to worry about copays, premiums and other services.

Civilised countries ask everyone to chip in and take care of one another. Your kid’s booboo tomorrow and your neighbours cancer the next. All taken care of because we can. No medical poverty.

Typo on the F-16. Meant to write F-18.

As for F-35s we have a few lent to us at this time for training with 40(?) more on the way.

With about a $70bn trade deficit in Canada’s favour mostly due to oil and energy exports. Which are very likely to get very expensive should we enter a trading war.

Most likely serving to make that deficit worse for America.

Tell me about it. Buddy of mine married an American, a texan, she’s fairly liberal as far as they go…

She just had a baby and was granted 18 months maternity leave, didn’t pay a dime, had an in home nurse due to complications. All for free.

We just talked about how she would prefer to have to pay her employer for health insurance rather than “Lose so much to these crazy taxes.”

If a liberal minded, young person thinks like this, how many of them think like this? Stay to the south. Please.

You realise Britain survived both world wars because of Canada right?

Canada exited that era with the second largest navy in the world.

Canada fought hard enough in Korea that the Chinese feared Canadian soldiers.

Canada was one of the first Nations to enter the war in the middle east with the US. Sending tens of thousands of soldiers from the years 2001-2016.

Canada currently operates Leopard 2a6 MBTs, F16s, f35s and possesses what is largely considered one of the most defensible and inhospitable geographies. Has several shipping yards in northern territories that would be untouchable by ground offensives and a population of small town hicks that hate Americans.

Canada has a standing army of 100k soldiers largely trained in small party tactics, ambushing and booby trapping.

It won’t be pretty, I’ll tell you that. But you think Canadians or any other nation allied with Canada would stand for American aggression?

EDIT: Meant to write F-18. Wrote F-16 instead. Point still stands. Canada has a small yet capable military when we need it.

how are you booting windows from systemd?

I’m not. I ran some Systemd-analyze, blame etc once Fedora started up and saw that most of my startup lag was caused by a specific drive on boot.

systemd is not part of the bootloader.

Yes, and so I used the systemd tools to figure out what was causing my issues on boot.

As I explained in a reply in this thread it seems my issue is mostly resolved for now. The bootloader was stalling on initializing a pair of drives I have in RAID for system backups on the M$ side.

This is turn, when running -analyze or other tools showed the drive that contained my Win10 machine stalling out and waiting 45+ seconds to initialise. Because /it/ was actually waiting for the RAID drives to sort it the hell out. So, it looked like there was a conflict between both boot disks when in reality the stall was a symptom of Linux not playing nice with RAID.

I wrongly assumed it was a boot disk conflict similar to some Windows dual boots where the two disks may be fighting with each other for boot priority and causing a fight until one timed out.
