Exactly what the title says. I'm looking for anything that could help to encourage me. 150 days is all I need to keep it up for, I'm great at maintaining my weight but losing weight feels hellish to me. I have everything planned out, I just need the motivation to stick to this plan. Following this I'd be losing 40lbs over 6 months, which is rapid but not dangerous. Life has really beaten the crap out of me over these past 2 years and now things are looking up, and I just want to get back to enjoying my life in a body I'm comfortable with as soon as possible.
I need as many ways to keep me sticking to this plan as possible. What's worked for you in the past or currently?
The exercise : "Read through the following statements and check any that describe your parent."
A few moments later...
"How many of these statements describe your parent? Since all these items are potential signs of emotional immaturity, checking more than one suggests you very well may have been dealing with an emotionally immature parent."
"Checking more than one suggests you very well may have been dealing with an emotionally immature parent."
"Checking more than one..."
I LITRERALLY CHECKED ALL OF THEM OH FUCK
Edit : Also this book seems pretty good so far. I recommend it.
I ask because I don't have any. I have plenty of male acquaintances, but none who I would class as friends, and certainly none I would trust.
Is it possible to complete the book solo?
I'm looking to brush up on my old French grammar skills in my free time. I'm looking for something like this or this. I would like it to be a little more challenging so I'm looking for the language of instruction to be in French instead of English. Something with a comprehensive review of all the major grammatical concepts along with exercises would be great! Recommendations immensely appreciated.
I failed because I was to slow to answer all the questions well.
How do I speed up subnetting? In the past I've got very good at math with doing numerous problems in exercise books with answers at the end.
Can anyone recommend subnetting exercises books so I can focus on this purely with working on paper and notes?
I find doing it on websites isn't very affective for me. I've watched a lot of subnetting videos but still had the set backs of having to take a lot of time problem solving for the questions in the exam and in practise because they were different every single time.
I think the best way for me to become good would be to have the questions in sections.
E.G.
Section A - Find the address range this ip and subnet mask fit in 50 questions
Section B - Find the valid host network first or last etc. 50 questions
Section C - Enter the subnets the host belongs to 50 questions
Section D - What subnet mask would you use for X networks. 50 questions
Section E - Min number of host ips and subnets for these networks based on requirements 50 questions
When the questions are a mix of things I get confused or side tracked a lot more and am much much slower getting the answers or applying my knowledge so I feel like I need to get good based on repetition and then i will be able to do subnetting with the advanced variety questions a lot quicker.
Hi!
I'm very interested in learning more about pranayama. Hope you can give me some advice on more resources.
First some background. By default, when I'm scared, stressed or doing intense exercise, I stop breathing. I've been doing vinyasa and some yin classes, and obviously teachers have reminded me frequently to keep on breathing, because when I stop breathing I'm certainly not making it easier on myself.
I notice that just learning to breath continuously during exercise has already helped me so much, that I'm very eager to learn more about how I could use my breathing in my practice and just in life in general. Obviously I'm very much a beginner in terms of yoga breathing, so I'm not looking for super advanced techniques or anything. Rather I'm looking for (a) beginner book/videos that guide me through different breathing exercises, explain how they help the body and what are good moments in a day/during a practice/in life to utilize them.
Any tips?
Imagine you lost everything in your life : your relatives, your friends, your job, your house, even your body : everything! You are nothing now. To get the things back, you have to ask a deity ( whatever it means to you ) and justify why you need those things. List five things . Here are mine :
-
I would ask for my mother back, because she means everything to me ;
-
I would ask for my sight back, because I would want to see my mother, her face; I would also want to see the trees, the sky, the city lights at night... ;
-
I would ask for my memory back, because I depend on it for everything;
-
I would ask for my dog Rita. I love her so much 🐕;
-
I would ask for my hearing back. A mute world without music seems so senseless;
And the list goes on... Even with 100 items you will conclude you have all you need right in front of you but just don't see it when you are angry or sad. Your feelings and thoughts often deceive you. I cried so hard when I first did this exercise because I did over 60 items and none of them included money or everything we think we need, but are not priorities.
I just picked up a new to me Getzen Eterna piccolo trumpet and am in love with my newest addition to my trumpet family! I have been playing a few minutes everyday on the little guy to acclimate to the different feel of the horn. So far I've just been doing Clark 1 & 2, scales, and Plog flow studies to get used to it. I've also been listening to some more piccolo playing by Caleb Hudson, Maurice André, and Håkan Hardenburger to help get the sound in my ear.
My questions for you all are:
-
What are some exercises or method books you found helpful when learning the piccolo?
-
What is some piccolo trumpet repertoire you would recommend to someone new to the piccolo? Any etude books out there I should check out?
Could anyone give me any recommendations, I feel that this course book doesn't have enough exercises.
you ever just be sitting there like you always do and realize damn. i really feel dead inside. nothing to look forward to. legit can't find the will to do anything. "do it to be happy" what the fuck for. what's the use of a happy life. to live long? you could die tomorrow. all that effort for nothing. wish i could just have a brainless job and make enough to live on my own and just know as little as possible. i don't want to know about anything. no world news, no country news, no family news, no history, no future. i don't want to know it. but no. i have to strive to become someone important just because i have the financial support for it. i don't want it anymore and I'm only just beginning. I'm so done and have been for so long and it never gets easier. "appetite comes with eating" no the fuck it does not. I'm more disgusted every time i open these books. any books. I'm disgusted of everything. disgusted of being alive and being human and existing in physical form.
useless vent. talking never helps. I throw everything into a void and nothing changes, I just go back to hoping I won't wake up the next day. me and almost every human on this planet, I'm not special.
Despite looking at different resources, I am stuck with improv. The best thing that worked for me was the building blocks lesson in the Open Studio course Improv for all, but it's like I need some tutorial to unlock something, some sort of "the minimalist guide to start with improv".
I know, listen, play a phrase, repeat, change, modify rhythm, change note, licks... But I never know from where to start and where to go. Hopefully there will be more in the courses I am following, but it would be very helpful to read what took you out of this kind of block, if you ever fallen in it.
I really like the book. (It's targeted at a certain type of reader. Happily, I'm that type.) The exercises, not so much.
After reading through once without doing the exercises, I've gone back and I'm up to Exercise 3.5 ("Implement a full-color Mandelbrot set"). This is yet another program generating graphics bit-by-bit with low-level operations.
Here's one solution by ptdecker (a.k.a. u/ptdecker) to the related Exercise 3.6. In many ways it's cleaner and simpler than where I was going. (For example, map2RGB() has a switch statement that returns one of six colors. I wrote a helper function that generates a rainbow palette. It seemed more appropriate than color/palette/Plan9 or color/palette.WebSafe (link). In retrospect, it feels like overkill.)
I like ptdecker's solution, but there are some things about it that worry me about the book's example:
- The solution begins with four references of how to draw fractals. That suggests ptdecker spent a lot of time learning that, time not spent learning Go itself.
- It requires two arrays of arrays, before arrays or slices are covered in the book. (This isn't required for Example 3.5, but pretty much is for Example 3.6. I also needed an array for my rainbow palette.)
- Like my attempted solution, it requires burrowing into the
colormodule and grokking that interface and its related methods, before methods and interfaces are covered in the book.
Again, these aren't problems with ptdecker's solution. They're problems with the book's example.
One good thing about both our examples is how much they demonstrate explicit conversion among integral types. I had to do a lot of them.
I know where these examples are leading to: the expression evaluator in section 7.9, and then the surface program [that] plots the 3-D surface of a user-provided function. I'm not sure that, as they say, the juice is worth the squeeze.
To ensure this isn't merely a rant:
- Have others of you had the same experience?
- Are there better examples to go through? I've heard many good things about Learn Go with tests, which in turn credits Go by Example. What
hello you kind people. Can you please recommend a Rust book that has some exercises at the end of each chapter/topic?
Approaching the end of a degree in physics so I should be able to handle these books but yeah, I just cant do it. I've tried various books like griffiths, currently trying townsends "modern approach". I can always just about follow the text, but then when I get to the exercises they're just absolutely impossible. Like even if I look up the answer, it's just absolute jibberish, though so called "solutions" tend to be just walls of equations which don't help me to understand anything.
What is going on here? Are these exercises supposed to be doable by people who are reading the book? Seems like a stupid question but they're just impossible. Are there any books with questions that actually lead you through how to do them so you can learn? I've heard the one by Shankar is good, been trying to find it at a reasonable price.
I think (hopefully) some of it comes from trying to teach myself this stuff.
I'm a begginer in german, still learning A1 content and I need exercises. Lots of them. Especially grammar ones. That's what I'm looking for.
The thing is, I'm one of those people who learns way better when doing stuff on a notebook rather than in an online website. So I prefer pdfs of physical text books with exercises I can copy and solve on paper.
I've been doing the Deutsche Welle language course but they don't offer many exercises. I have a german text book from 1967 (Deutsch als Fremdsprache) with some exercises but to be honest they aren't that great, they're all pretty much the same thing all over again.
Thank you in advance!!
Does anybody know where can I get a copy of the 4th book (soft or hard)? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Hello people, can someone suggest me some books to start learning game theory and maybe some nice exercises in order to practice? Ive studied game theory during UNI but just the basic and Im interested to learn more about it.
Stay safe Love
Hi,
I'm currently studying linear algebra on my own using David Lay's book "Linear Algebra and Its Applications".
I'm only at the beginning of the book, at the start of chapter 2. The sections themselves are straightforward and quick to grasp, but there are something like 40 exercises at the end of every section, so the reading of a section might take me ~30 minutes, but the exercises are taking me at least 3hrs+ (especially if I write everything out correctly).
My questions are: does anybody do all the exercises in a math book like this? Is it ok to skip some? Are the books even meant to be worked through in such a manner as to do all the exercises, or do the authors figure people just choose the exercises that they want to do, instead of doing it all?
I am an undergraduate mathematics student and I have both courses as part of upcoming semester. Suggest me good books in Abstract and Linear algebra to do exercises from. Thanks in advance.
Any good books out there for corrective exercise I came across “Rebuilding Milo” the lifters guide to fixing common injuries by dr Aaron Horschig, Dr Kevin Sonthana
