A hot tub is a little above it. But it’s very important to remember your head is above the water. So the wet bulb temperature for your most vital organs is much lower.
Also you really aren’t supposed to stay in for a long time and it definitely can hurt/kill you to do so. It’s not very common because you can leave at any time and you’ll feel growing discomfort long before the danger zone but people do die that way.
I contacted a lot of my Russian colleagues and none are affected by this SWIFT ban and are still being paid by EU companies. They receive their funds from private banks that are not under these sanctions.
I guess they might be affected once Russia starts borrowing the cash from citizens to fund the war.
This has already started to some degree, starting from today, all russian citizens are banned from sending money over to their overseas accounts, all tax resident companies (and if you are a russian citizen, the only legal way to work for a foreign emplyer from russia is via creating a legal entity which is akin to a 1-man company) must sell 80% of received foreign currencies (this applies to money that was received starting from Jan 1st).
This would be because Russia no longer has that foreign currency, since it was frozen. If 60% of a totalitarian dictatorship's foreign currency is frozen, the dictator is going to make sure that all the foreign currency which the dictatorship does have access to belongs to him.
"Borrowing cash" is slightly less likely to lead to hyperinflation in the short term. "Slightly" and "short term" doing some heavy lifting in that sentence though.
But "slightly" might be useful to the Russian government given the game plan seems to be to try and complete the invasion before the Russian people mass revolt against their own government as the price of bread goes up 10,000%.
Yeah, technically it was the head of Yugoslavia that started a war with Slovenia the moment it left the federation (after Croatia left too). Luckily, war lasted 10 days. Not Serbia, I guess.
NATO bombing was not out of the blue. The head of Yugoslavia was a similar mad man (to Putin), just warring out of desperation. The best proof one has of his lunacy is the fact that Montenegro split from Serbia without any deaths. How did this happen? Due to the mad man dying in 2000. I'm pretty sure he would have enacted order by butchering civilians again, inside "his" borders.
Serbia is also the only country out of these conflicts that does not guarantee seat in the parliament for the exYugoslav minorities. Even though the leadership displayed aggression that was successfully deflected, the defenders made a deal to guarantee inclusion of the Serbian minority in the parliament (Croatia, Kosovo etc.)
Still, we have a country like Germany, that self-flagellates for decades and the sentiment of the majority is quite clear. While the general sentiment of people/press in Serbia is that NATO bombing is equivalent to Putin bombing Ukraine. and yeah, every now and then, the most popular Serbian (Monacoan) tennis player will say things like "Kosovo is Serbia" with complete indifference and still be the Jesus like figure his father makes him out to be.
>NATO bombing was not really out of the blue. The head of Yugoslavia was a similar mad man, just warring out of desperation.
Nobody said it was out of the blue, but it was illegal, wrong and plain terrorist like.
>The best proof one has of his lunacy is the fact that Montenegro split from Serbia without any issues. How did this happen? Lucikly, the mad man died in 2000.
And the best proof of NATO lunacy is that Kosovo declared independence in 2008 because they feared Serbia which at that point wasn't in Kosovo for almost 10 years, during which Kosovar population carried out pogroms of Serbs while the UN forces just watched.
Also Milošević died in 2006, never convicted of any war crimes. Later rulings on other people incriminated him but the same can be said for Tuđman. So, I guess if you die early you are not a war criminal.
>Serbia is also the only country out of these conflicts that does not guarantee seat in the parliament for the exYugoslav minorities.
It guarantees us a seat in the parliament, you just have to pass a laughably low percentage of the general vote. As a minority from Serbia, there's lot of problems in that country but minority representation is not one of them. If I wanted I could go through life without ever using Serbian language, I am not sure the same can be said for a lot of EU countries.
>While the general sentiment of people/press in Serbia is that NATO bombing is equivalent to Putin bombing Ukraine.
Because it is the same, a territory within a country decided it wanted to be independent and it is supported by an outside imperial force.
Yeah, I guess he stopped existing in 2000 and had nothing to do with the peaceful referendum.
> Because it is the same, a territory within a country decided it wanted to be independent and it is supported by an outside imperial force.
How can you believe this? Which part of Ukraine declared independence? What country was supposed to be created out of this independence? Which leaders decided they wanted to create a new independent territory?
> I am not sure the same can be said for a lot of EU countries.
Well, if your country is in EU, the citizens of EU are not forced to learn any language, even if they live outside of their country of origin. Language requirements for non-EU exist due to EU being an extremely lucrative place to live. Moving to Serbia and trying to hop on social benefits will not be as lucrative, so language requirement for citizenship might be unnecessary.
> It guarantees us a seat in the parliament, you just have to pass a laughably low percentage of the general vote.
In Croatia and Kosovo, there is no low percentage threshold. You are automatically in. There's no reason to believe the threshold is achievable, given that people in general do not vote.
>How can you believe this? Which part of Ukraine declared independence?
Didn't those two breakaway republics declare independence?
>Well, if your country is in EU, the citizens of EU are not forced to learn any language, even if they live outside of their country of origin.

I am not talking about EU citizens moving to another country, I am talking about minorities living in Serbia.
I am a part of minority that lived in the now Serbian territory for over 250 years and there's no legal requirement for us to learn Serbian. You can live your perfectly happy life without it. We have our schools, our communities so learning the Serbian language is not a requisite although most people learn it because it offers some benefits.
I found it odd that you thought I was talking about foreigners.
> I found it odd that you thought I was talking about foreigners.
You mentioned that this cannot be said for a lot of EU countries. Turks born in EU do not have to learn German. Immigration within EU is free from language requirement too.
I do not even understand why do you think minorities not learning Serbian is impressive? Croatia and Kosovo both have schools that can use Serbian in their curriculum and no one is forcing Croatian on them. Similar things exist for Czech and Hungarian. No one is forcing these minorities to go to schools to learn Croatian.
> Didn't those two breakaway republics declare independence?
And were immediately annexed by Russia? How independent is that? Who's the new cultural head of these independent republics?
>You mentioned that this cannot be said for a lot of EU countries. Turks born in EU do not have to learn German. Immigration within EU is free from language requirement too.
So Turks in Germany can have schools in Turkish for their children? Do you have a source for this?
>I do not even understand why do you think minorities not learning Serbian is impressive?
Because language rights are central for the survival of minority communities.
>Croatia and Kosovo both have schools that can use Serbian in their curriculum and no one is forcing Croatian on them.
Yeah, when they are not being stoned in Kosovo or have their Cyrillic signs smashed in Croatia.
That's the official lesson plan for non-German lessons in NRW; other German states have similar plans (teaching is devolved to the states in Germany). Notice that this is the plan used in the state-sponsored lessons; private schools are free to use their own plans.
Umm guys, education is about children's rights and it has to be mandatory so that your parents won't be able to override your rights even if they have something against their minority language or against the language majority.
1. The right to mother tongue: wherever in the world, the child must learn the mother tongue(s) of their parents to support the cognitive and psychological development.
2. The right to participate in the society as an equal: the child must learn the official language(s) of the society well enough to be able to understand and participate in the democracy, business, art etc.
On top of that, the bulk of the school curriculum can be in a yet another language, no problem, as long as these rights are ensured as well.
So I read a bit more about Donetsk and Luhansk and while I can see the similarities where
Ukraine = Serbia and NATO = Russia, unfortunately the similarities stop soon when you realize that Kosovo (= Luhansk or Donetsk), establishes a democratic society that includes Serbian minority by default in the government, where Donetsk and Luhansk start banning Ukranian passports, banishing Ukranians, massive antisemitism movements, and basically want to become dictatorships similar to Belarus.
Similarly, Ukranian army is not targeting Russian civilians in these regions and is not banishing them to Russia. There is no displacement of millions of Russians in Ukraine.
If you are trying to say "NATO bombing of Serbia is justified", therefore "Russia war against Ukraine should be too", therefore hypocrites, it does not really work.
Competitive programming develops these skills quite well.
Reaching high performance means knowing the solution before coding it up.
Witnessing high level competitive programmers scribble stuff on paper for 5-10 minutes, and then just a pure stream of thought into a 100 line C++ program that was compiled once, run through examples, submitted and accepted, is out of this world.
Another example is when solution is unclear (mostly for number theoretic stuff that needs to be efficient), scribble on paper, code up pattern generating code, generate patterns, look at them, stop, scribble on paper, code the O(1) solution, submitted and accepted (an easy example is to efficiently calculate the sum of first N Fibonacci numbers).
Well, I must add that the practice of solving comp pro problems is quite worthwhile for me (without the competition part).
I'm always humbled when I try to solve something, need 50-100 lines of code, and then there's a solution that really gets what the inputs/outputs/intermediate data structures are and it turns out to be just 10 lines of code (written during live competition, I'm amazed by the truly simple thinking of these authors). The best problems that demonstrate that are most often just algorithms with arrays (no specific algorithm, only required knowledge is working with arrays). True display of thinking things through before coding.
It gives me similar feeling (but less pronounced) to looking at tinycc, or looking at some tree enumeration algorithm in TAOCP, or the modification of it done by Knuth to support enumerating arithmetic expressions without redundant parentheses (also just an array algorithm, figure out how to modify an array that represents existing expression into an array that represents next expression, literally just a bunch of loops).
I had to handle time series data at work. There already exists 1000s of lines of code that deal with time series, sorted timestamp arrays, {up,down}sampling, timezone handling etc. All of that can be replaced by a simple 5 line function that works faster (supports tz, sampling, appends etc.). Only possible to write if you really focus on the problem you're solving and realize that the sub-problem you envisioned (the "efficient" time series data structure) does not really help you.
I do not think there's a way to assign probability to this situation.
If we assume Putin is mad, there's no reason why he wouldn't throw a nuke. Due to downside being inevitable, WW3 is a logical outcome. Otherwise we are just letting him throw nukes.
We have to hope their system is not setup such that Putin can unilaterally launch. Is there not some military officer or guard in the way who could decide to save the world?
This sounds a bit like you went from a low calorie diet that triggered various metabolic shutdowns to a high calorie diet that made your body work again.
Sounds like you went from hypogonadism ( which is associated with all of your listed issues) to something healthier.
Quite impressive if diet solved it, although it might be the calories, not the content.
If anything I am eating less calories now. I was heavier then as well. It was causing a multitude of deficiencies. B6, Zinc I know for sure because my doctor tested them.
But it is interesting you bring up hypogonadism, not that I had it, but I was born with a cryptorchidism and had to have the testicle removed when I was three. This is a known effect of zinc deficiency which is one reason they tested me.
Yeah, being overweight, having hypogonadism and eating a low calorie diet can result in no weight loss or even weight gain. The energy distribution is all over the place and the lack of calories affects cognition, hormone production etc.
If you were a "good" vegan, as you mentioned, I cannot imagine what kind of foods you ate to have more calories compared to fat (calorie) rich foods like fish, mussels or meat.
500 grams of raw beans is 2000kcal (very little for an avg 45 year old man), contains about 120g of protein, but is around 1.5kg of beanwater sludge when cooked. Impossible to eat in a day for most people. Adding rice, pasta, or other sources of calories still does not help a lot. It takes a lot of food to get to 2500-3000kcal.
Many vegans lack calories in their diet. Older and sedentary vegans that are starting to develop protein resistance (due to age or sedentary lifestyle) also consume way too little protein. A perfect recipe for various metabolic issues and aging related diseases.
It is not just about calories. I cannot metabolize short chain fatty acids well and they all come from plant food.
Stop assuming you know anything about my life to fit your paradigm. I was always starving when I was vegan so I ate more. I know how many calories I eat it is is way less.
It is NOT just about food, it is also about genetics.
Everything you are saying is pointing to starvation induced metabolic disease.
You said it yourself that you were always starving as a vegan. Given that you were a "good" vegan, living on low calorie foods, I cannot see how you think you ate more calories, but were starving.
If you told me you had a 150kg squat, 200kg deadlift and did 6+ hours of hiking every week, but still had issues with weight and always felt hungry, I would be quite surprised, because there's no way you could maintain maximal force production with low calories. All of that muscle would also not be there with low calories.
Vegan food is rich in carbs, so saying you cannot metabolize short chain fatty acids is irrelevant when most of your calories came from carbs. Your body can turn these carbs to fatty acids that your genes can deal with (to create hormones, if you had enough protein too). If we think about essential fatty acids, then your hypothesis is testable, either by taking a long essential fatty acid supplement (EPA + DHA), or by measuring your EPA/DHA plasma levels after consuming ALA rich plant oils like flexseed (not olive oil, and most definitely not sunflower oil). Still, no way deficiency of ALA metabolites is going to put you in a weird starvation mode. It's the starvation that is causing your metabolism to shutdown. Of course you will have trouble metabolising ALA if you are starving.
Yes, it's not about food, it's about calories. Individuals that want to function well need to eat enough. If your issue was short fatty acids, then it's quite impressive that your diet fixed it. Long fatty acids are not essential, and to function you need to be able to create metabolites from short fatty acids, because not all long fatty acids required for human hormones and metabolism are present in your food.
Not being satiated is also a sign of having low calories on a "good" vegan diet.
If you ate 500 grams of raw beans (cooked), having 1.5kg of excrement going through your bowels will leave you quite satiated.
On my plant-only days, whenever I eat that much volume of food to get to 3500kcal (I weigh 220lbs and eat 4000kcal+ on regular days), I am basically satiated after first 2000kcal for the whole day and have to force myself to eat more. This is whole plants, no oils.
Of course, the massive poop next morning makes it worth the trouble :D
I cannot metabolize short chain fatty acids well and they all come from plant food.
Is the cellular mechanism for this known? I seem to have trouble processing long chain triglycerides and I do better with animal fats, like butter and bacon.
Any resources you could link to or thoughts you might share on this detail would be potentially of value to me for better understanding my genetic disorder and practical approaches to managing it with diet.
First, I am not talking about the metabolism of triglycerides, only the metabolism off PUFA. And can you give me an example of what you mean by "I seem to have trouble processing long chain triglycerides", and what genetic disorder?
But yes, very will known. There are thee enzymes, FADS1, FADS2, and EVOL5 that turn the short chain fatty acids like ALA in flax seed into the DHA you find in fish. The FADS genes are the most studied and polymorphisms in the genes have been linked to different cultures and therefor the reliance on certain fatty acids.
Digestion relies on your gut microbiome and how much fiber you eat; both those things are much more variable than your DNA and so are more likely to be personalized to you than anything else is. Unless you actually had a medical-grade genetic test?
Yes, full genome from Nebula genomics. Take a look at what it means to be a FUT2 non-secretor and you will soon see how much genetics plays a role. Knowing this cured MY IBS. I am in no way saying it is everyones issue, but it was mine.
We know the genome changes so much of us, from our eye color to height to susceptibility to ideas. Why would it not also determine what foods we should eat?
As monad is just an interface, it doesn't necessary cause runtime costs. Identity is a monad too. Effects may not always require sacrificing performance, but as they can be used to implement exceptions they are not just free compile time annotations.
