  • Climate change.

    In the mid 90’s when the data was becoming more mainstream, I felt that there wasn’t enough info to make a decision on it, looking back from now there was but the O&G lobby was muddying the waters as much as possible.

    A few years later, ~97/98; I had read enough studies and seen enough data to accept that, yes; we were changing the climate, and yes; we need to do something about it.

    It has shaped a lot of the decisions I have made in the last 25+ years.

    BTW electric power tools kick arse.

    I needed to update my parents old NUC from Win7, it was either new hardware to run Win10 or give Linux a try, I told them I had been running Linux since 09 full time and it isn’t any harder than running Windows.

    I said how about you give it a go for a month or so and see how you go.

    I installed Mint, it has been a few years now and no real issues beyond taking a while to get the printer working. I installed rust desk for remote assistance which I have only used 3 times since install.






  • Earlier in the year I was in hospital for a while, had to have surgery. I went in at 80kg and after 5 weeks was just under 66kg.

    I’m 175cm tall, BMI 26.1 (technically over weight, but was very fit) down to 21.6, which is considered “normal” but I felt very skinny and unhealthy.

    The BMI thing is a little bit bullshit, since it doesn’t map fitness level.

    As for getting back to a healthy weight, take it slow, eat really healthy foods eat mostly nova 1 & 2 foods, some nova 3 and avoid nova 4 if possible.

    Also if you have been on antibiotics while in hospital, eat ferments like kimchi or sauerkraut, maybe drink some kombucha to rebuild your gut flora. But take it slow as it can really mess you up if you dump too much in at once.
