I'm curious how you intend to do that ?
Newness is not really a valuable quality when it comes to books, barring some exceptions like books on subjects that change frequently and meaningfully.
Diminished quality however is a meaningful signal, and would give most serious readers pause.
As Brexit has shown, even when sanity returns, the previous reality does not.
So it is not that we wish the USA ill, or harm, quite the contrary - we did not ask for this. We have clearly understood the message and we are focused on our own future now.
Sorry, but no.
Even if there are no kinetic attacks towards allies right now, the "crazy old man" is causing real harm. Harm to global stability and the world order, economies, to businesses and individuals, to long term initiatives such as research and healthcare. But most importantly, real harm to the trust between ourselves. Western allies can no longer trust the USA, it is broken, we no longer have the same values.
The first time in 2016 we forgave, everyone makes mistakes and Europe is certainly not free of them. But the American people chose to elect him twice with full knowledge, now everyone suffers.
So the rest of the world forges its own path now. America's military, economic and cultural hegemony will decline. Not tomorrow, maybe not even quickly, but inevitably. Godspeed !
1. Diet - healthy eating habits that result in a caloric deficit while giving you the required energy
2. Exercise - strengthen your body, contribute to caloric deficit, improve how you feel. Start slow and prevent injuries.
3. Psychology - work on the reasons that caused the excessive weight and develop habits that help maintain weight loss in the long term
4. Medication - use of semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications in support of the above
Keep in mind that people are strongly opinionated about things like diet and exercise, but certainly in case of severe obesity, any exercise and any caloric deficit is better than none. Don't listen too much to people who have no been overweight before, they don't speak from experience. My personal view is to work towards a combination of cardio, strength and mobility work, but most important is to find something you think is fun or exciting, as the habit-forming aspect is key. The rest will follow.
Existentialism is one approach, or you can turn towards Camus and accept life has no ultimate meaning, and live intensely despite that knowledge.
A real sustained DDoS would probably still require upstream handling by larger infrastructure than I run.
Personally I do not have an issue with bots as long as they behave and are not straight up malicious, so I rely on a combination of rate limiting, a fine-tuned OWASP CRS ruleset and an aggressive Fail2ban enforcement (hit 2 triggers and you get a 24 hour ban, 2 bans and you get banned for 30 days).
My sites also make extensive use of static elements and caching.
Essentially, you pick a path that in this moment a) you feel like doing, b) you have access to, and c) aligns sufficiently with your values, expectations and life needs. You can be very strategic about it, or you can wing it, there are no correct answers.
Then when you get older and are in a different place in life, chances are you become ready for something new, and then you go do that.
Careers and goals don't need to be forever, change is guaranteed and "life" is an awfully long time to decide on when you're young.
Not to mention that physical jobs in e.g. manufacturing have been highly automated by "the robots" for decades
While there has always been room for middle-of-the-road "content", there have also always been those that seek a higher value. I expect that segment to only grow.
Swedes seem to be context-driven in this regard. There are certain places and activities where it's OK to strike up small talk, outside of those accepted situations, they keep to themselves. One I have found is sports, this winter I've had casual chats with about 80% of the people I come across at my local ski trails. But it's mostly at the starting point or at the car park, not while you're training. Another one is regular organised activities, e.g. check out your local friluftsfrämjandet, or activities around specific interests and hobbies, and show up somewhat consistently. Every kommun will typically have a registry of local clubs on their website, it's called a föreningsregister, read through it and see if something strikes your fancy.
Luckily, as foreigners, we typically get a bit of a pass for not being entirely up to snuff with the social rules, but knowing some Swedish will help you.
Good luck !
