He’s not going to turn Senegal into a liberal paradise; his party and policies sound to be more of the same homophobia. But it seems like he will actually try to end the corruption and put the country on the track to independence rather than looting it like Sall. Secularity is a cornerstone of the party, which is an important first step. Here’s hoping Senegal is on its way up!

Did not know that, thank you for improving my day with that little fact!

In Putin’s Russia, Ukraine invades you!

Stupid brain, filling in the gaps when I didn’t even want it to…

So the police just outright abduct and intimidate citizens they don’t like, in Canada?

Where do they think they are, America?

When giving feedback, it helps to avoid derogatory phrasing and instead specify what you don’t like and why. The key word there being “specify”. Otherwise, you don’t have a point, and you’ll come across like a dick.

Edit: okay, suffer an eternity of complaining about things that never get fixed; no skin off my nose.

Not sure if you saw elsewhere in the thread but Obsidian slows down the more notes you have because it doesn’t have a DB. Trillium is DB-based (and thus so is TrilliumNext) so it can handle a lot more entries. OP said they’ve got 300,000 notes without a performance drop!

There are typically agreements with ATM operators to allow no-fee withdrawals, and you can usually do cashback at the register when making a purchase in many stores, but beyond that you’d need to find an office that can handle cash and not all credit unions have those.

Oh god, you’re right, it used it correctly, it’s just self-martyring. That’s much worse. “This hurts me more than it hurts you”. Ugh.

The Mac rewrite misused “compose” at the end, as well. Confusing, and could be read as self-martyring. You’re absolutely right that anything the LLM generates or rewrites needs to be reviewed for accuracy word by word, which rather limits the utility to most people. Imagine all the interpersonal problems that could be caused by the LLM using the wrong word, phrase, conjugation, context, etc. Imagine all the hand-typed stuff that will be blamed on the LLM if it lands badly…

Ah shit, I thought this was an “I’m starting to work out” post. I’ll leave it for anyone else who might find it helpful; it’s slower than weights but it builds strength and stamina in lockstep and gets all the major muscle groups.

I’ll still highly recommend compression gear generally if you don’t have any (though it sounds like you probably do!) and Feetures socks for running 😊

Socks from Feetures to avoid blistering when running (they’re really good, so much so I’ve been slowly replacing all my socks with Feetures) and compression underwear and tops. Then do your working out at home or outside, depending what’s practical for your situation.

Day 1: Sets

• 20 pushups
• 20 lunges
• 25 calf raises
• 60 seconds plank
• 20 squats
• 25 calf raises
• 10 chinups
• 20 lunges
• 25 calf raises
• 10 side planks (5 each side, the ones where you curl your shoulder down to the ground and then back up, buggered if I can remember the proper name)

Consider these one unit, and when you’re not dying after doing one, add another one, and then another. My record was 6 in one day.

Day 2: Cardio

• 15 minutes of intervals, on a treadmill or outside at your preference. The speed depends on you but jogging should use your calves more and running should use your thighs more - do not heel strike, land on the balls of your feet to avoid shocks to the knee joints. Nobody needs arthritis at 40.

Alternate and watch the gains roll in.

If you can’t afford health insurance then you don’t have everything ready to go. Myself, I’m holding my job to keep my health insurance until my business can support my family and our needs. It’s a bastard and a half but worst case, I’ve still got my job.

But if all you need is money, do you have a way to get some to pay for health insurance in the interim? Do a tiny “family and friends” seed round for six months runway, or however long you think you’d need?

Because they pair very nicely with a plate of crayons.
