I don't know who the provider is, but the attack was almost certainly not targeting the provider, but a site hosted on their platform. Many hosting companies upsell their customers into stuff like providing Cloudflare DDoS prevention.

That's fine, but bodybuilding is recreational with the exception of a very small number of people who are professional bodybuilders. Human beings don't _need_ to have 200g of protein per day. Assuming you're not a professiona

I live at ~64 deg latitude in the USA (Alaska) and 100% agree with everything you said. The timing of sunset has such a profound effect on when you consider the day "done". In Dec it's painful to haul myself outside at 5 or 6

I think what's fascinating about it is the daylight changes you experienced in the 20 deg latitude change you experience from Orlando to Seattle are dwarfed by the changes from a ~15 degree latitude change from Seattle to Anchorage. By

I grew up here, so it's "home" so to speak. Well, technically my childhood home was a few hundred miles further south than where I am now (Fairbanks, Alaska). It's definitely an extreme climate to live in, but there are

I live just a couple hundred miles south of the arctic circle, and personally I hate the time of year where we "accelerate" into the equinoxes (equinoxii?). The rate of change is just too fast and too disruptive, and you _really_

It's never too late to get started! Also, if you're keen to try M8 before investing, you can make a "headless" M8 from a $30 teensy board, but you have to use it via a web emulator. If that sounds intimidating in any way

I've done more 30min-2hr sub-zero F bike rides here in interior Alaska than I can count, as well as many 5+hr rides for things like races and backcountry trips. Some of the coldest days are at -30F or -40F. I use a simple wool balaclav

Yeah, very weird. They have a sample prep tool that converts existing samples to the correct format, and obviously the internal sampling records to that rate.

They don't support wireless charging from phone to airpods. That would be great, and is available on some android devices. This was referring to being able to charge your airpods or watch by plugging them into your phone with a cable.
