    You get pretty good about estimating, you learn by weighing stuff at home then you can just guesstimate, it doesn’t need to be absolutely perfect to work. But to be honest if you’re serious about your diet then restaurants are always gonna be a cheat, the reason the stuff tastes good at the restaurant is because they charge it with the good(bad) stuff.

    Lots of people already mentioned that you lose the weight in the kitchen, not the gym, but I still don’t see many or any recommendations for counting calories. Truth is most people have no idea how many calories are in the stuff they consume and when I decided to lose weight using a calorie counting app was the number one thing that helped me out. After a while you learn and don’t need to keep logging anymore but at first it was invaluable in my journey losing 35kg.



  • Great comment all around albeit with maybe a bit outdated yet personal experience.

    I would say, don’t underestimate blender, it has a lot of parallel progress going on and while I never used it for video editing, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pretty powerful in that area.

    I’m personally a resolve user and I think it doesn’t have anything to envy from avid or premiere at this stage (you admit yourself it was 8 years since you tried it). It’s incredibly powerful and the free version should get you by for most projects though you might run into a few things where you wish you had the studio version.

    My personal experience when I was shopping around before settling on resolve (3/4 years ago) was that all the other FOSS options I tried were mid at best.




  • Hey, I really appreciate you jumping in, I’m glad I randomly checked on the thread because since you replied to the other guy, I didn’t see it myself (I’m the OP).

    You made some great points and raised a bunch of info that no one really gave me so far, not at the hospital that day or when talking about it with others since, all very valuable stuff.

    I just want to clarify that I was exaggerating for dramatic effect, and definitely drove to the emergency safely, respecting all driving laws and while his mom was in the back monitoring him the whole time. There was no speeding above the limits, no red lights, etc, I’m not a dumbass.

    I do want to add that if I did call an ambulance right away and they sent in a heli or something I would’ve been even more mortified, having taken crucial resources away from people who might actually need it. I understand now the actual advice is “wait until you see if there’s any reaction, and then call an ambulance if needed”, and that they would first start by evaluating the situation/give us advice.

    So yeah, just for the sake of anyone reading, don’t be like me, don’t panic, and call the appropriate services if/when needed. It’s tough as new parents sometimes and I learned the lesson that day, I do think it’s relatable and sharing it led to your valuable insights so hey, that’s a win right?
