Readit NewsInside the workplace, I find that people mostly don’t read documentation, but I write it anyway, because I tend to go back to it as a reference, and I can point others to it when they ask questions.
Does anyone know of a mobile browser friendly way to read this kind of site without being constantly bombarded? It's exhausting. It seems like the sort of problem that would have been solved, but my attempts to discover the solution have failed.
- latency
- it has a boot procedure when you turn the car on. While this happens, the controls have quite substantial latency. However the first thing that happens is it begins playing audio.
- there is a knob for adjusting volume, but it's still part of the same system as the rest of it. There is still substantial latency to this control, especially immediately upon turning the car on. However even a little latency here is really annoying, because one naturally adjusts volume via trial and error.
- if you've paired the car with your phone via Bluetooth, it immediately sends a message to your phone to start playing whatever audio was played most recently at whatever the current volume is. I wrote a tasker routine to intercept this, but an android patch a while back helpfully broke this and I haven't bothered fixing it.
All of this combines for a user experience dramatically worse than an aux cord. It's kind of spectacular in its terribleness. And this is an otherwise great car.
All the smart TVs I ever had lasted a long long time physically, but after a couple years they invariably started being noticeable slower than when I bought. The same happened to a guitar effects unit I had: changing patches became somewhat slower after update. And the battery of a wireless guitar transmitter I had now only lasts half the time it used to after the update. I honestly can say I dread updating almost any software today.
It is a great resource to learn about all different kind of rockets and rocket engines. And quite amazing to see how 3d printing can allowto build so many of miniature versions.
- Recognize that media and the weight loss industry have absolutely no interest in helping you lose weight permanently. The incentives are wrong. They want a captive audience and repeat clientele. If there's any truth to what they say it's incidental. e.g. Blueberries are not a magically healthy food that will transform you into a greek god or goddess if you eat them. Some asshole blueberry farmers just commissioned a study to drum up sales and idiot health reporters picked it up on a slow news day. I'm not saying blueberries are bad for you. They're just fruit.
- Everyone has advice that has worked for them (or maybe hasn't really). That doesn't mean it will work for you.
- Maybe you stress eat or eat when you're bored. Maybe you eat way too much of the wrong foods. Everyone is different. The path to being healthier starts with observation. Keep a food and activity journal and crunch the numbers. An apple isn't so healthy that you can ignore the calories in it. Write things down and figure out where you're paying the biggest costs.
- Change your behaviour. This is what works. Read a book on cognitive behavioural therapy if you have no idea where to start. Your weight isn't a temporary condition that can be permanently fixed by temporary action, such as a short-term diet. It's a reflection of your diet and activity habits. Permanent changes to how you think, eat, and act are necessary to change your weight. Little changes can yield big results. e.g. Get in the habit of asking yourself, whenever you open the fridge door, "Am I hungry, or am I bored?" If you're bored, close the fridge door and go do something interesting.
- It may seem like there is a sea of advice and help out there that might make things easy. However, you really have to figure this shit out for yourself. It's going to take some mental effort, but it's worth it. You can do it if you try.
Edit: I have the same problem. I ate a whole frozen pizza a few days ago and felt like crap for a day afterward. Not just a little personal one either. A full Screamin' Sicilian pepperoni...
