  • Type h for “hello” does literally nothing… ok… thought this was a text editor why can’t I even write… mash esc still no response, try typing “hello” but no matter how many time I mash h nothing happens. Right let’s leave and find a guide. Right so closing a terminal program that’s usually Crtl-c nope that’s done nothing, erm, what else works, nano uses Ctrl-x let’s try that, nope. Erm kill nope nothing, fuck this I’m just closing my terminal. - my first vim experience.






  • Yes and no.

    Doing pull-ups will make you stronger, but it’s lats and biceps, if you’re wanting to be a boxer they aren’t the most important muscles to target. Also at a point you’ll be training endurance not strength. You’ll need to add weight to overload.

    Losing fat through cardio. Ehhh… like technically yes. Practically though not really. It’s really hard to out-train a bad diet. Losing fat is something best done in the kitchen not the gym. Problem is losing fat requires a callorie deficit, and gaining muscle requires a surplus. It is possible to do both but you’re really fighting biology. Do do cardio though - it’s its own benefit. Better lungs and heart is so important for everything else.

    Yeah training will work endurance. Much like strength. But the way you train for the two is different. You can train both but again it’s non optimal.

    The good news is that as you’re just starting out the gains should come easy so you don’t need to be optimal just yet. Keep it up and decide what you want to be your goals. Then build a focused training plan for those goals. You don’t have to do it forever either. You can initially try lose fat, then pivot into strength training, then pivot into endurance or back to fat loss or whatever suits your goals at the time.




  • Well the way to avoid dust is to not have any soft furnishings including carpets and rugs because they shed fibres that form dust, not have any clothing, because that also sheds fibres and forms dust, not have any skin because that sheds and forms dust, also have no hair, pets, unsealed surfaces, open windows, wear outside shoes inside, etc etc…

    But if the above sounds too tricky then yeah the alternative is you just have to vacuum, mop and clean. I hoover several times a week, my partner dusts roughly weekly. It sucks. Entropy is a cruel mistress. But the upside is, having less dust in the house a) looks cleaner, b) is better for your respiratory system. So it’s worth doing, especially if you have someone in the house with something like asthma that would make them more sensitive.


  • Assuming the Asus has an intel 4000 igpu then the GPU in the t480, a UHD620 is quicker, and the UHD620 is later than broadwell which is blenders requirement, so I think it should run. It can run OpenGL 4.6 and blender only needs 4.3.

    It’s not a graphical powerhouse mind, so I hope you’re not planning on massive models with loads of triangles as I imagine it’ll be pretty slow!






  • NO

    Tankie is a meaningless word. If you point out China has undeniably made progress under communism, you’re a tankie. If you point out Stalin wasn’t the evil dictator westerners make him out to be (even though it’s disproven by the literal CIA itself) you’re a tankie, if you think capitalism is causing problems in the USA you’re a tankie. If you criticise US or NATO foreign policy you’re a tankie. If you criticise the Republicans you’re a Tankie. If you criticise the Dems, guess what also a tankie. If you think that the USSR and the PRC are/were perfect little angels that never made any mistakes or did anything wrong ever then you’re also a Tankie.

    It’s just too broad a term for me or anyone to identify with any way. It’s not an ideology. It’s a dumb insult to dismiss the opinions of others you disagree with without having to engage with their point at all or critically analyse your own beliefs in any meaningful way.
