On day one, do one push up. Day two, two. Sounds a bit ridiculous, but it gradually builds difficulty.

Crucially, it is not all in one sitting. On day 10, if needed, do five when you wake up, and five before bed.

Break it up into something achievable. And if you miss a day, don’t sweat it. Again, the idea is to start to build, or rebuild strength and flexibility, the exercises themselves barely matter; you could do planks instead, for example.

So to correct one thing:

Poor posture is a symptom of poor core strength, particularly, your rhomboids and lower back. If your muscles are both stronger and more flexible, they will literally pull your bones into the correct alignment, without any conscious thought towards sitting straighter.

Start by taking a short walk once a day (free). A 100 day pushup challenge (free) or starting Yoga classes (can be free on YouTube, but in-person has several benefits, including having someone correcting your form, and some social structures to help provide extra motivation) would be a great next step. Longer term, maybe light weights and rows alongside using a treadmill or stationary bike.

If you choose to look into weight training, “Starting strength” is a decent program by Mark Rippetoe that I would recommend.

You know the Internet didn’t die, right?

The American Olympic committee, among all other Olympic committees. Not the whole world.

But don’t worry, the judge hearing the appeal also has close personal ties to the Romanian Olympic program (whose athlete came in fourth, and stands to benefit from the committee not hearing the appeal), which were disclosed to everyone except the Americans. Nothing weird about that.

Said it better than I could. Fair? Yes. Effective? No.

They fact that they were only apparently just realizing this in “early 2023” says a lot more about the US auto industry.

More likely, people on lemmy blindly downvote YouTube links. Post a long form article, and you’ll see better results.

There’s a lot of rehosted trash being posted in general to drive clicks/Adsense revenue to tiny, new channels specifically for this purpose.

This doesn’t seem to be the case here, but generally YouTube links, especially with no summaries, don’t do great (e.g., I don’t want to put headphones on just for this).

So… Slackware?

I was shocked to hear Dejoy getting credit for this, but securing that 3 billion dollar investment in the USPS charging infrastructure didn’t break into the news cycle.

Still no idea about where they are with eliminating those sorting machines right before an election, but credit where credit is due, I guess.

Sales slowing is only one variable in the “growth” equation. Specifically, are sales of gas vehicles slowing more than sales of electric cars? Yes.

People are replacing vehicles at some standard rate, but growth of EVs is dependent on what percentage of new vehicle sales are gas versus electric. As long as people aren’t moving back to gas cars en masse, the growth of the segment can continue to rise, even if sales overall are slowing.
