For me, it’s the other way around.

Gigity gigity.

I don’t know about outer coatings, but I always wondered if lapping film would work on glass lenses. Think super fine sandpaper for fiber optic cables.

So people don’t punch it.

I’m on lemmy, with you….

I’m not…

If you’re into apple (with the watch) give apple fitness a shot.

Peloton has a standalone app if you don’t mind a non-data experience (you can still wear a hrm/watch of course, but no feedback about exertion in the peloton app.)

Next option is some sort of trainer. You can either bolt a real bike to one, or use a stationary bike that fills the role. A trainer can connects via ANT/BLE to an app. Just google “bike trainers”. With this comes lots of options for apps to track training. E.g. wahoo, zwift, etc.

Best of luck.

I just added a bunch of classical to a playlist and then removed the occasional piece I found distracting. I still use that playlist when I need to focus.

Trudeau says Ukraine can strike deep into Russia with NATO arms

Clickbait

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ukraine should be allowed to strike deep inside Russia

These are not the same statements.

Which search engines give results without an AI generated response?

Yes, but now you’re weakening two aspects of the security, not just one. And for the digital solution you would also need to (break into the network + break into HA) -or- (break zigbee/zwave/thread) + be physically present to take advantage. I would argue this is generally more secure than a mass-produced lock with unknown vulnerabilities that’s easily recognizable from outside.

Why are people who joined on another instance only 30 minutes ago allowed to post? Seems like a fix is in order.

Look up running belts.

But cables wear out.

Don’t call me sir, I work for a living.

The difference between officers and enlisted (even enlisted “officers”) is well understood in the public domain. Just google the term “military officer”. You won’t find a reference to NCOs.

From the AI:

Here are some things to know about military officers: Pay grades Officer pay grades range from O-1 to O-10.

Army’s top-level page on “officers”: https://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/find-your-path/army-officers

From the wiki:

Broadly speaking, “officer” means a commissioned officer, a non-commissioned officer (NCO), or a warrant officer. However, absent contextual qualification, the term typically refers only to a force’s commissioned officers, the more senior members who derive their authority from a commission from the head of state.

This just takes very little research for anyone writing an article on the subject. No, I don’t expect the laymen to automatically know the difference between an NCO and a commissioned officer, but we are talking about a journalist here. I suppose if you want to lower your standards for journalism, fine.

The term officer, alone, as it stands in the headline, is reserved for commissioned officers. No one in the military would assume that headline was referring to an NCO.

That’s the argument made on one of the interviews in a sky news video on this. That Russia is making their troops “zero” surrendering Ukrainians to ensure they, the russians, won’t surrender in the future.

Because they already made surrendering impossible by murdering Ukrainians.

I already posted the relevant bit above. The history of this song in ice cream trucks was absolutely racist.
