Sound advice. Especially the enjoyment. I think often people feel that a workout needs to burn and/or hurt, otherwise it is not counting. Or that you need to measure everything, otherwise it doesn't count.

Sure they probably will. At least that is what they show on tv while flashing their logo. But it is a different story when you actually arrive at their location or order online. Companies use all kinds of dark patterns and strategies to get you to buy more or get the high margin items, that are usually their junkier stuff.

Where I am from it is not allowed to run ads with alcohol. What the companies do instead is create a non-alcoholic version of very similar branding and then run ads for that instead..

I am sorry, but these rust evangelist's are a bit ridiculous. Rust is I great language. But saying that the Linux kernal not having a future because not everyone will adapt a new programming language is stupid. Does he not realize he is putting alot more technical burden on the remaining maintainers that need to learn a completely different language because he decided the kernel suddenly neeeds rust, thanks I guess?

Very focused on the north American market. Where I live induction stove tops have been more or less standard for 20+ years. BUT I didn't know special round coils existed for round wokpans. Pretty cool. Although I think a wokpans with a flat bottom is fine for home cooking, maybe get one that is slightly heavier so its able to retain more heat as you work your food. It is kind of ridiculous that this would be an argument to get a gas stove, given that standard gas stoves don't have a rocket engine flame that is required to get the real wok experience at home anyway. I don't even think you would want that in a home kitchen. Also it is a bit niche for most people.

Great! I wonder if it is as good and frustration as when I was a child. The platforming was the typical wonky 3d jumping puzzles, although I seem to remember it striking a good balance of not going on for too long. Looking forward ✌️

The five colors were fruit-themed: blueberry, grape, tangerine, lime and strawberry.
