I eat potatoes a lot since they are one of my favorite foods.

I have never been a potato person, always preferring rice dishes. Though after swelling up to around 270 lbs (122.47 kg) I refactored my knowledge on nutritional needs 😉. I eat a Keto/ Carnivore like diet eating only none starchy vegetables that are low in carbs. I have lost weight over the last 4 months and now weigh in at around 210 lbs (95.2544 kg). My new nutrition plan is a lifetime commitment so even though I will include more carbs once I have reached a more healthy weight, I will never consume carbs at the rate I used to prior to my new lifestyle. I just find it unhealthy. I use the way I feel as my greatest metric.

There are many factors to ones fitness plan. Each plan must be individualized as there is not a one size fits all solution. The solution you maintain in your life must be sustainable. So we have to choose something that we can live with 😀.

I'll keep sharing the things I make.

Awesome! another foodie on the instance 😀. I think I was the only one sharing food posts before. I particularly like posts with lots of details and recipes 😀.

I'm not formally trained in cooking, but it has become my greatest passion in recent years.

I cooked in kitchens while attending the Uni for my Masters in Computer Science. I eventually went to the Culinary Institute of America in Boston. I was a chef for a while but disdain professional cooking now. Though cooking at home will always be a passion of mine.

Lol, I actually switched to GNU/Linux when Windows was just a MS/DOS application. Windows 3.11 had just released when I began using tutorials on usenet to build my own GNU/Linux installation. X Server was another story. It took literally weeks to download all the code successfully and For a very small while I used a bare bones X Server with no DE or WM. Boot magazine (now Wired) distributed a stripped down copy of Debian on their complimentary CD on one Issue and I finally got to try out Gnome and KDE which were both in their infancy. At first KDE had my attention, then as both matured, as I pretend I did as well, I learned to love the elegancy of simplicity and now I favor Gnome.

Have a great day!

And they believe this is a weakness, when it is actually sciences greatest strength. In order to learn one has to accept what parts we do not have right.

@Acta Populi

I would say you are correct.

That is the idea, you should be full (satiated!). If you are hungry all the time you are going to overeat. Carbs leave you hungry and you end up eating more, even though you have already consumed way more calories than you need. Meat and fat satiate you and you do not feel like eating more. So it is not a struggle to not over eat.

@plan-A

Same here in America. Food prices are crazy. Especially real food and not food like products that are all carbs and killing people over here.

@plan-A

why would you go through all that? If you are concerned about someone knowing what your user name is for some reason then just rewrite the motd like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

figlet "Hello" | lolcat -b
fortune -a | cowsay -f dragon | lolcat -b

I am not exactly concerned about people knowing what my user name is. There is no way they can use that in any scenario to effect me. I literally use the same name here.

In any case dropping the $(whoami | perl -e 'print ucfirst(<>);') (as this is the code that retrieves and displays your username with the first letter capitalized) out of the first figlet line will prevent the script from displaying your username.

The original motd I shared with you:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

figlet "Hello $(whoami | perl -e 'print ucfirst(<>);')" | lolcat -b
fortune -a | cowsay -f dragon | lolcat -b

@plan-A

why would you write code just to write more code to eliminate what you just generated? That makes no sense at all. Just eliminate the whoami and you do not need to filter its results out with awk. Remember KISS (Keep It Simple Silly).
