There's this Indian woman at the job coaching space that I sometimes talk to during lunch, if we happen to be seated together.

She's married with children. She isn't too complex. She's just trying to be a good wife and she is looking for a job. She isn't a looker.

There isn't much we can talk about. Almost nothing in common.

But she has good vibes. Makes you feel safe. Always a little smile.

She cooks her lunches at home and brings them to work. It's not tikka masala, tandoori or korma or other Mogul empire stuff you've seen at Indian restaurants. It's food that Indians actually cook at home.

When she brings food I've never seen before to lunch, I ask her about it. One day, she let me taste some of it.

I'm not going anywhere with her, since she has her life, but it's something interesting and different, if you know what I mean.

I mean I understand it medically but not for a diet. If you are trying to lose fat, why not replace it with muscle? Strengthen the core, improve posture, improve efficiency and keep a healthy percentage of body fat. It’s just a good feeling.

As with any diet depending on how you do it will determine if you are going to loose mscle or fat mass. There is nothing unique about keto that is likely to effect that equation. Any good died, if you stick with it will give you a healthy weight anod not just labotomize your muscled.

Healthy body and healthy mind. I found that my food cravings became more healthy and my time under the surface increased to around 3 minutes. I did get over 3 minutes but I just surfaced and grabbed something until I could see again. Most of this is irrelevant but keep up the good work.

good is not inherently healthy or unhealthy. Within the context of your overall diet, sure you have healthy and unhealthy diets. But any food, in the right perportion, is ealthy as part of the right diet.

Name one thing you like the most and hate the most about each of these cultures. Please be sure its respectful and compassionate criticism (though harsh is ok), but hate speech and slurs will be blocked on site.

2. Christians
3. Muslims
4. Jews

Watching "Dr who the star beast".. they leaned a bit heavier into the woke side of things, but while a bit on the heavy side I liked it. Right until the end, the end they said something like "We have a power a male-presenting time-lord will never have... letting go". Got that was cringe, sexist, and ruined it.

I have to say its pretty nice being able to eat a five guys burger for dinner with bacon and literally be completely within the bounds of my diet and not needing to cheat at all.

I still wish it had a damn bun though!

Dont forget to thank the local NTP Gods for just making sure that you have not thought about NTP for the past year

And the creator of NTP passed away recently.
Thank you Dave Mills

Dispatching and Completing the UART Interrupts ... On #Ox64 BL808 #RISCV SBC with Apache #NuttX RTOS

Last toot I said I'm going to be employed. It's a quick decision, both to me and to the company. It's a fairly small company, around 30 people including the programmers and administrators. And it's not a high salary job (with the current FX rate, it's around 1k USD pre-tax), but the environment is very people-friendly, not like big companies where everyone is bonded by the rules. You need to go home and handle something? Sure, bring your laptop and they'll count you as working from home. If you really can't handle both, you can just ask and normally you get several days off.

The most important factor to make me decide to work there is no frequent overtime working. There will be overtime working, but most of them are predictable and you will be informed beforehand. And you can choose if you want to get money compensation or save it as an extra holiday and use it later. I don't know about other areas, but in China, man, this is the best you can ask for.

The person who interviewed me is one of the bosses charges the tech things. I can tell he knows programming since we can understand what we're talking: blockchain, LLM, JVM, etc. It's a delightful interview. But that day is Friday and it's almost 5 pm (4:30). So we agree to meet on Monday. I'll show up in the morning and they do the rest, contract, etc.

I hope everything goes well. And thanks to you, my friends, for bearing my nonsense in the past year and congrate me on my (possiblely) new job.

Got an urgent interview.

During lunch, the recruiter asked when I'm available for an interview. I'd prefer next week, but the recruiter said the leader won't be available, she suggested next Monday.

Then she told me if I could go there this afternoon.

At now I'm going to work at that company next Monday.

That's totally unexpected. In 4 or 5 hours and now I'm going to be employed. Wow
