Maybe, maybe not. I've still got 2x machines running old 7950s which were mined with for over a year and they're running perfectly fine.
Gaming and general computing is such a low intensity activity - if they didn't break while they were mining I figure that they're comprehensively stress tested at this point and they'll run til they're too old to be useful.
I already use this feature but I can reliably find my driveway on the heatmap so either a) they aggregate everything into the heatmap regardless of the privacy sphere or b) it's from my friends visiting, picking me up, etc.
Either way, there's a very clear route that leaves the road at my house and follows my driveway. It doesn't take much effort to find many, many more examples of this throughout the heatmap.
As I understand it, the iodine in dairy typically comes from the products used to clean and sanitise the milking and storage equipment (iodophor). It's not inherent in the dairy itself, otherwise we could just eat the cow's grass to obtain iodine
In the film 500 Days of Summer, Tom (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) wears a shirt with this design on it.
I have a similar shirt and had no idea what the design was. I know Joy Division, I was familiar with songs on the album, but had never actually seen the cover. My postman, a man in his mid-50s called me out one day, asking me if I was a Joy Division fan. I said yes and asked why he would ask that and he just pointed to my shirt. I assume he thinks i'm a tragic hipster now...
That is a true statement, however when the objective is getting from point A to point B and those 2 points are >1km apart strength is rarely a limiting factor for cyclists. Available training time and recovery rate are however. Many of the benefits of gym based strength training can be achieved on the bike by performing on bike sprints all the while maintaining specificity. The modern, generally accepted principle is that weight training for cyclists is not the best use of training time.
Can confirm. I have several wearables lying around no longer being used. The difference between the fitness devices that I use (smart scales, gps trackers) and the ones that I don't (pedometer/heart rate wearables) basically seems to be that the ones I use are measuring and recording data I was previously interested in before getting a device that tracked it. Ultimately, I can't get excited about a pedometer because I simply don't care about how many steps I take.
Also, the fact that the pedometers require near constant use to be worthwhile means that there's some degree of mental energy devoted to them - is it charged, am I wearing it, etc. A smart scale I step onto for a few seconds each day and my garmin head unit is only used when I'm riding my bike so there's almost no conscious overhead.
Exactly this. Training principles are built upon the theory of supercompensation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercompensation) - by using something you make it weaker and your body makes it stronger.
It's not really very useful. Most serious but recreational cyclists are limited in terms of available training time and recovery. When faced with the option of spending their limited time on the bike or in the weight room with the objective of going faster, the bike is almost invariably the right answer. The reason for that is that watts/kg and watts/cda are the 2 basic determinants of how quickly a cyclist can get anywhere. Weight lifting will increase the watts but only on a very, very short time scale (ie, sprinting). Weights will increase the kg and cda for cyclists who eat in surplus. Thus, the cyclist will be no faster and most probably actually get slower.
The obvious exception to this is track and road sprinters who benefit considerably from doing weight work. Everyone else serious about riding should just ride.
The Australian system is far from perfect but does come some way to solving this. It is effectively 2 tiered:
1) Public Medicare, the publicly funded system available to everybody.
2) Private insurance, paid for by the individual and tailored to their needs.
To pay for the public system everybody pays a Medicare levy as part of their income tax. The levy is coarsely means tested. If you have private insurance then this levy is reduced somewhat.
The real critical differentiation between the public (Medicare) and private offerings are that any services deemed as elective in nature (ie, non life threatening conditions such as surgeries to treat injuries, etc) can be completed by the public system but there is a wait list which can often be quite long. If you have private insurance then you can get in very quickly with the surgeon you want.
Having private in no way restricts your usage of the public system so there is no downside to having private except that it costs more. There are also fee structures in place to encourage people to take up private when they're younger and the saving on the medicare levy.
As I said, it's far from perfect, but the 2 tiers offer a high level of customized cover for people willing and able to afford it while offering an acceptable level of cover for those who can't.
Keep on at it. My partner and I fostered rescue puppies (mainly larger breeds) for several years before having kids. We taught bite inhibition, toilet training and general manners to umpteen puppies using positive reinforcement while they were in our care. We've used remarkably similar techniques on our children now aged 3.5 and 1.5yo. Every child is unique so YMMV but we have been very happy with the way our kids have responded to our approach.
Getting angry seems to just stimulate fear in our kids which shuts down communication and halts any opportunity for them to learn something positive from a challenging situation. I want a child who can communicate and is expressive. It's a long game so I feel like having a child who learning to communicate when they're 3 is more likely to communicate when they're a teenager facing bigger, real world problems.
Pride comes with embarrassment. I have an almost 12 year old steam account and am regularly ridiculed for playing CSGO poorly with a 10 years+ veteran's badge.
I think it's because most hiragana/katakana is in the form "consonant-vowel" meaning that almost all words are made up of collections of 2 letter sounds/syllables. This gives words a certain cadence which is easily repeated. When you convert that to romaji you begin to parse the words as though they were english and the discrete "consonant-vowel" sounds get broken down and become harder to see/read.
Really though, you can learn hiragana in a single sitting using mnemonic trickery and you can commit it to memory using a spaced repetition or flashcard system in a few days. Not learning hiragana and katakana seems much more of a hindrance than "wasting time" by learning it.
