    That ignores a huge psychological aspect of weight gain, alongside several questions that contribute:

    • How does the body manage when someone goes from incredible, disciplined health - to no care
    • How do you maintain a calorific deficit in ill health, or with limited mobility?
    • How do you stop someone eating for fun when they’re in their twilight years and they want to enjoy themselves?
    • How do you motivate someone that has gone from good mobility to bad mobility?
    • How do you navigate a caloric deficit safely with both advanced age, retirement, AND diabetes?

    I can say that for the latter points, it is incredibly hard to do so, looking at my parents and with people I’ve trained with. Furthermore, going from fighting fit to limited care can make you explode in both weight and joint issues. I’ve trained with a few army guys or people with pro sports experience, and it’s mad how even in your forties you can go from a sub-twenty minute 5k to throwing up on a mat during a 5 min spar.

    Only on Lemmy would someone with (likely) zero experience in combat sports tell someone that a sport known for rampant knee issues is “their fault”, and not due to the increased force on the knees from doing a ground-based sport.

    Again, only on Lemmy would someone say “you can’t be fat in your seventies, these famous people aren’t”.

    Well yeah, if you spend your life doing martial arts of combat sports your joints are probably absolutely fucked, and you’ve got no hope of getting meaningful exercise in without considerable pain. Hell, I’ve done BJJ for only ten years and my knees are a wreck. I know Seagal is into aikido and shit, but being rich I don’t blame him for being fat in his seventies. It’s really fucking hard to stay in shape when you get old.










  • Why annoying?

    Based on what kind of people they are, you might be able to get away with something else. Maybe play some Christian music if you think they don’t want to live next to a god-botherer. If you’re bible-belt, put one of those 24 hour Mecca livestreams on loud, and go do your grocery shopping or something.

    If you want just plain annoying, you can’t go wrong with Justin Bieber or tween pop.



  • While I agree in principle, a blanket enforcement seems like a great way for companies to purposely tank smaller entities just to get hold of their code/IP. Alongside this, it probably doesn’t help to just release the code, when these devices will run on web services, or perhaps even proprietary tech.

    In this case, it would be a great way to dissolve the company. Switch the endpoints over to a custodian project, have the servers owned and run through a community campaign, and open source the code and artifacts.







  • Haha, it’s so weird that the only people that have caught on that are my sneezes are my wife and my parents. My wife used to think it was cute, until she realised that her smelling it basically means she’s breathing in my sneezes, which is pretty grim.

    It’s maybe 1 in 5 sneezes, but I can almost always tell when it’s going to be a “smelly” one.
