Friendlyjordies can rub people the wrong way and in the past has definitely acted like a bit of a gronk but I've always been so impressed with conviction and bravery when taking on issues in Australian politics and media, NSW is a bit fucked
If you mean for personal use? I tried various note taking apps before I settled on Joplin.
I like that its open source and has a community that is helpful and people are always wrting extensions for it. Also the cross device syncing works really well with dropbox and I was already using that service.
Its not perfect but I much preferred it something like notion personally which felt overkill in terms of power/features, fiddly and had an awful mobile experience
Sounds insignificant compared to some of the things I'm reading here but I regret not participating in sports as much as I should have when I was in school.
Think it would have had a huge affect on my social skills, fitness and overall mental and physical health
Write about yourself and what you know, its probably the most interesting thing you could write about anyway.
I've been preparing articles for my future blog about my interests and struggles (security, beer, books, mental health). Weird mix but theres no doubt that its more interesting than me trying to force myself to write on one of them consistently
>In addition to that, America is a country that works forwards from principles much more often than European nations, which very often work backwards from objectives.
Have any examples to back this up?
I dont even necessarily disagree with your original argument, but can we get away from the Europe vs America debate that always pops up on this board as if they can be compared in a reasonable way? Europe is made up of a bunch of independent countries alot of which have objectives and principles that conflict with other entities within Europe, let alone outside of it
The "America vs Europe debate" only ever pops up when an American comes into a thread telling everyone how wrong they are. As you say it is ironic because the position that there is one "Europe" to compare the US to is one that can only be formed in an environment of ignorance. Asking why was at some point useful, but given the pernicious nature of these discussions and the vehemence with which they are repeated we have to assume they are not going to go away (unless perhaps we ignore them).

This is an example to backup the statement. The US starts from a strong principle of free speech. European countries generally don't value this as highly, and will censor speech if they feel it is necessary.
100% agreed, the issue I have with Keto and other related fashionable diets is that for the majority of people who attempt they aren't necessary to what they are trying to achieve and like you say, born out of poor relationship to food and health.
As someone who has also tried a lot of different diets and training plans to me the most sane approach to weight loss is still moderation with calorie/macro tracking which is far simpler to implement, not restrictive and personally, more enjoyable.
I have the opposite problem, I share the name with someone else working in the tech field who is academically and professionally my senior.
I frequently get emails and phone calls from recruiters offering positions with a salary up to 200k more than I'm expecting at my level because they think I teach at Stanford
Did you ever try to bullshit your way into one of these positions? Obviously it's a bad idea, but I'm only half joking since it might be an interesting experiment to see how people rate and value you if their mind may have already been made up.
I have a more minor issue, in that my mum once mistook a SciFi/horror film director for me, because of his website. I also share a name with a Victorian era author. As I’m now writing a novel, I’m going to have to publish with a pen name.
