The principle is to be active - treadmill, rowing machine, elliptical, etc on days you're not lifting weights are perfectly reasonable expectation after a few months of adaptation period. You don't have to go to the gym of course, you can do all those activities at home with some very cheap and easy to obtain equipment like rubber bands and/or TRX, but the point I think OP was trying to make is to create opportunities for social interactions.

On days I miss workouts I feel much more groggy and tired, so working out over the years became a necessity which I don't really need to find motivation to do. If you feel bored and tired, try to couple workouts with audiobooks or podcasts, that helps to make the experience more enjoyable and even productive at times.

(I'm nearing 42, working out most of my life 5 days a week at least)

Nazi Germany didn’t need Allied ships near its coast to invade Poland. Saddam Hussein didn’t need US aircraft nearby to invade Kuwait. Argentina didn’t need British naval pressure to seize the Falklands. Russia didn’t need NATO forces near Kyiv to annex Crimea in 2014 or launch a full invasion in 2022.

Tyrannies tend to frame any foreign presence as “provocation” after the fact, because it’s politically useful at home. Liberal democracies publish their movements precisely because they operate under scrutiny; authoritarian states act first and justify later.

Proximity makes for a convenient narrative, not a causal explanation.

does their claim of reaching 8 km/s in earth's atomsphere make sense? how is it possible without an insane amount of energy?

Besides, how are you going to deliver this energy in such a short time without frying the entire system, we're talking probably 1000A+ currents flowing in insane voltages.

You'd rather use TNT or some high explosive, that's what is usually done with artillery, and even then you don't get close to 8 km/s as far as i know.

Not saying Israeli soldiers have perfect values and obey all international laws, but every time I see a story in the Guardian , it's so one sided, one has to question their motives and objectives.

Saying 'Israeli soldiers' also leaves the readers to wonder - how many are there? 'soldiers' can also be 2-3 soldiers. Is there something about Israeli soldiers or society in general that is different than other soldiers of conflicting nations?

To me, it’s obvious that if a certain command feels cumbersome (e.g., (1)), you can just create an alias, script, or panel to make it behave exactly how you want. In contrast, a GUI usually forces you to use the functionality as it was envisioned by the product team that designed it.

Ultimately, GUIs target the average user, providing a good experience on average across all users.

With terminal apps, if you are patient and willing to learn how to customize your shell, you can make an excellent environment which would offer a huge boost of productivity

I live in the terminal, but most people in my company, including developers rather stay away from it

I completely agree with your last statement. The issue here is that there's an organization which doesn't value life and wishes for martyrdom for its members and the entire society that it governs. For this sake - every act is justified and even praised.

For context, there was an Israeli volunteer organization called Road to Recovery, made up of citizens who drove patients/children, the elderly, and others—from the border crossings to hospitals across Israel for medical care. Many of the volunteers lived near Gaza themselves. On October 7th, when Hamas invaded Israel, those very volunteers were deliberately targeted and murdered. One of them was Vivian Silver, a remarkable woman who dedicated years to this mission.

The cruelty, hatred, and fanaticism of Hamas is almost impossible to grasp for those who don’t live with it. It’s easy to get swept up in narratives shaped by popular media, but those accounts are rarely impartial when it comes to this conflict.
