Probably not. They'll train like hell for a few weeks, their bodies unable to properly recover, they'll feel wrecked the entire time and they will never develop the habit of exercise.

Likely best for most people is to just start moving and once you have _actually_ established the habit of exercise, slowly add intensity. Let your body accommodate.

Sadly so much of that, people are actively trying to undo it.

And this is precisely why nothing will ever change. I tell everyone who will listen to me on my soap box, we will never get universal healthcare until we divorce healthcare from employment (by that I mean, make it to where businesses cannot offer benefits at all).

Personally, I would retire early. I have enough to cover bills and reasonable HC costs, but the way it is now, I'll just keep plugging away for a few more years.

Didn't the rules for how CEOs are paid change under Clinton?

Including Reagan.

And so much of it has to do with the influence of The Heritage Foundation.

> You always have a choice to use/learn/make a different tool.

Weak argument. People don't have infinite time. People just want tools they trust and that aren't enshitified.

I'm taking the person you are replying to as being snarky. But, I believe OP is right, treat these with zero trust.

So, are you saying there is zero value in _any_ youtube video for kids?

To be fair, how the hell is that something an APP can do?

For some time how, when you have the camera open and lining up a shot, iOS is taking image after image. When you press the shutter, algorithms determine the best or sharpest shot and processes it further.

Phil introduced it with iPhone 11 as "deep fusion"

No, the standard for Dems is "don't rock the boat". The Right moves things further to the right, the Dems don't let them go back to the left.

Ice cream is 1.5 qt not 1/2 gallon. I don't know what they put into pizza "dough" but it's not real flour.

If you can only make X number of widgets, you must increase the price until demand stabilizes at X.

This is what consumers are always told. Prices go up as demand goes up or scarcity increases.
