    Sorry to hear that one dear. I do not pretend to understand on some deeper level, but why can’t you fully control blood sugar by upping mileage?

    I used to calorie crash often at 400+ miles a week, or even half that many miles when I was cutting weight intentionally. At 400+ I could not increase calories to compensate. I was getting into sprouted grains and micro nutrients off the bike, and maximum simple sugar and salt while riding. Three hours minimum per day, and full time+ job was fun. I haven’t legitimately hit the wall in a decade, but still have a primal dread of that feeling of no blood sugar left at all. Kinda curious in case I ever have a similar issue because 90% in bed and 5% zooming on what remains of race legs is an odd life.

    Bike bike bike!

    Specifically, road. Put yourself aside, and just try it properly. The freedom is amazing and self motivating. The reason you don’t see many people is primarily because they don’t try road bikes and don’t understand them. People tend to prejudice the unfamiliar. The bike is optimal for human anatomy in unintuitive ways. The efficiency is amazing. The number of disabled people that ride is far higher than you likely imagine. While women are a more rare segment in cycling, the primary barrier is only self perception. Roadies are super friendly and accepting of everyone, except during a race. If you’ve got a slower metabolism like me, you will likely excel at endurance activities. The airflow keeps your body temperature lower than any exercise other than swimming. That is why I always struggled with a gym routine; getting uncomfortably hot. Committing to a ride is not like other exercise where you are able to contemplate stopping early. It takes 3 weeks to get used to a saddle, and 6 to turn actively pushing yourself into a neutral routine your body accepts. Everything after 6 weeks starts to become harder to stop than it is to continue. I was 350lbs in 2009 and under 190lbs by 2013. Even after a broken neck and back in 2014, it is still easier for me to keep my routine than it is to stop. Your sugar problems will go away in a few months time. One of the other groups of avid cyclists is celebrities. Like Robin Williams was famous for people encountering him on the road and at events. On a bike, in a kit, helmet, and sunglasses, you are totally anonymous. It does not matter how you think it will be before trying it, on a bike you assume a new identity and no one knows who you are unless you tell them. Road is the only type of bike that is like this. Every other type of bike is a compromise and totally different experience. I’ve worked with diabetic amputees, people that could not walk, and been and worked with the morbidly obese. You can do it dear!

    Because those other bodies are worlds. In centuries to come, every one of these will be important and uniquely valued.

    What kind of argument is “reality too hard to science.” – Dogmatic clown level arguments. Anyone stating this should be purged from academia. This is the culture of the crisis academics talk about. This is the collapse. Fundamental contextual logic has failed. Planet is a verb, by the IAU definition, used incorrectly as a noun, in an oxymoron, with recursion. That is epic 16th century level nonsense. Nouns and verbs are what, 3rd grade level skills?

    All distros have niche purposes, but most components are compatible.

    As an abstract concept, Linux From Scratch is like ultimate god mode. That walks you through everything in extraordinarily overwhelming fashion to build a operating system from scratch.

    Gentoo is like LFS on easy mode with a package manager to help you stay on top of a working system. It is still like maybe demigod mode. The main thing with Gentoo is that you have access to compiling everything from source, so you can integrate any changes you would like to make to packages within the package manager.

    If you understand a UNIX operating system on a LFS/Gentoo level, Arch is like both of these, but with binary packages.

    Debian is primarily for a more complete base system with stability where they make long term support kernels. Debian is primarily for creating custom tools on servers and for reverse engineering hardware. Most hardware drivers come from Debian.

    Red Hat is the goto for commercial server stuff. Many Kernel maintainers and developers work for Red Hat. Fedora is up stream of Red Hat and has most of the tools from Red Hat. The book The Linux Bible is the goto book for learning IT and networking and is written around Fedora/Red Hat.

    So the reason for the bla bla bla is because understanding the purposes of each of the distros will guide you to essential documentation. This is the key to intermediate level Linux; when you understand where to look for information across all distros.

    • LFS will walk you through any components in tutorial detail if you can find the entry point and ground your understanding.
    • Gentoo is likely to have similar tutorial guides and information that has easier entry points.
    • Arch is like the giant warehouse of components. Arch has the wiki which is the principal documentation on the components themselves. What Arch is not, is tutorial. The wiki is an encyclopedia. Use it as such.
    • Debian has the bootstrapping stuff and documentation to port onto new hardware or explore.
    • Red Hat/Fedora have the information and tools for the kernel and networking. If you want to mess with something like the CPU scheduler or configuring numa architectures, these are the places to look for documentation.

    These are general loose guidelines. For your monitor resolution issue, I would start with Gentoo and Arch. I had a similar issue when I tried Arch back around 8-9 years ago, but I do not recall the details and it has probably changed considerably since the X11 to Wayland transition.

    I care that it is draconian nonsense. It wasn’t created by planetary scientists, or by consulting any. It was primarily created by a highschool teacher in Temecula California. It is temporally incongruent. Saying it is not a planet then calling it a planet in the following name is an oxymoron, or rather just moronic. And it impedes real science and science communication depreciating the era and discoveries that have happened.

    The real definition of worlds is by gravitational differentiation and the point at which a body is dominated by geology.

    No object is ever defined by external factors. It is a fundamental elementary logic failure to attempt to do so. If you drive your car in a bicycle lane and clear out all the cyclists, what the &%$# object is defined. Absolutely nothing! You may define a condition here, not an object, not a noun! The fact that this definition even exists is an epic embarrassment that makes the entire field look like a bunch of dogmatic clowns.
