Jobs that you want to do vs jobs that you have to do are entirely different levels of motivating and result in completely different energy levels for people.

If I have to do a job I hate for the rest of my life I would eternally be low energy. If I could do the thing I loved every day, the thing I truly wanted to do, I would get up excited every day and would have high energy throughout.

Having more free time, yes people would get bored. But the resulting things that they work on would be things that invigorate them.


I lay down and close my eyes (and sometimes nap) pretty much every day for like 20 min. When the mid afternoon slump hits, instead of trying to fight it or use caffeine I just lay down. Does wonders for my energy levels afterwards.

I think they get along with people but don't like being told what to do, or be told "how things are".

Won't competition likely keep prices low? At first maybe not, but sooner or later open models will catch up, then it's a completely open market for anyone to host and sell services.

Competition won't keep prices below cost. Only subsidy by investors can do that and they won't do that forever.

> Won't competition likely keep prices low?

If there are 100 companies you can choose from, yes.

If there are 3 oligarchs that own all options, not.

Capitalism only works when there is competition between many players. When you get less than a dozen players the prices are too easy to increase to maximize profit. They do not need even to talk between them, to not start a price war is the only logical strategy and they follow it. That is why big-tech is so problematic.

In the past, this kind of companies were highly regulated. Phone companies were not allowed to wiretap calls, prices were limited by law, etc. Internet providers had the same regulations applied to them. But service providers run amok without control abusing their position and hurting the rest of the economy. Do not expect lower prices in such unregulated environment.


It truly is not a choice, as I cannot sustain my family / lifestyle with manual labor. Opting into working out for the sake of my health is not nearly the same.


>It truly is not a choice, as I cannot sustain my family / lifestyle

Success and failure are choices. Accepting this allows us to take responsibility for the worlds we've created. Ignoring this is self-destructive act of cognitive dissonance and we pay for it years later.


> Success and failure are choices.

Tell that to crop failures of sustinance farmers. "Oh you just chose the weather to be bad/a fast soreading disease/a severe drought. Live with your choices".


My partner's grandfather died of cancer because when he was having pains they believed their homeopathic medicine would work. When he finally when in to see a real doctor it was too late. If he had gone in earlier, he would been able to have a chance. This is not a rare occurrence for these types.


Why would you stop going to a real doctor though? It's not one or the other.

I'm very on the fence over BPC-157/TB500, I really want to see some actual clinical trials ran on it. I have a feeling the effects are overstated, but I also have had a number of "insider" conversations where I know these and other compounds are very much being utilized in pro athlete injury recovery programs. Those athletes certainly are getting state of the art medical care via traditional sources, plus elite level physio therapy - so it's hard to say if the illicit injury recovery drugs are doing much or not.


I don’t think either of those are patentable so I doubt you’ll see studies or trials any time soon. A lot of strength athletes at all levels, not just elite, are absolutely convinced of their efficacy and their usage sometimes seems as common as ibuprofen.


While this can be true, this absolutely is not true for the majority of paycheck-to-paycheck people. You truly need to get your head out of your ass if you honestly believe this is what is causing people to be poor.


With the insane rates of consumtion, home ownership and car ownership, it simply is a fact. Tons of people live paycheck to paycheck and call themsevles poor, when they have an 80k truck with monthly payment as high as some peoples rent. And often credit card debt with monthly payments as well.

Yes, sometimes this is medical debt or other unavoidable things. But its also true that the consumtion rate is incredibly high and the savings rate is incredibly low, with US credit card industry making it easy to create huge debts.

So its simply a fact that a huge amount of people live in self imposed risky situations. Instead of an emergency fund, they think they can just open a new credit card.

So its of course not what is causing people to be poor, but what is does is that it makes many, many more people 'living on the edge' then there should be based on their actual incomes.


The poverty rate in the US is ~10% and the percentage of workers who live paycheck-to-paycheck is ~35%. So it is true for the majority of people living paycheck-to-paycheck.


Do you know any of those people? Yes it’s almost entirely a choice. Typically a combination of poor life choices in tandem with poor financial choices.


Which coastal major city do you live in?


You couldn’t be more wrong about who I am. My relatives and friends are some who have made those poor choices, and neither them nor I live in a major city. The poor in America are in two major camps: inner city and rural America. Both have different reasons for economic poverty and both stem from poor choices.


The angle / position your wrist is when your fingers need to do these lateral movements could be more or less taxing depending.


I think there are actually discord client mods which let you stream in high quality anyway.


Okay, what's the actual point of this website? It's just a glossary of singing terms, that if you sing at all you would know pretty much all of them. Even the "resources" section that links to youtube just links to a search on youtube of the term, not a specific video. Was this just your AI project for fun?


> It's just a glossary of singing terms, that if you sing at all you would know pretty much all of them.

Not everyone studies theory. I sing in my church choir but I had heard of almost none of these terms before. So don't underestimate the value of a glossary.


The actual point is a guide for people who wants to sing or already sings. A handy tool to lookup how to ...

I'm not positioning it as anything else.

Regarding AI. Sure i used it. But i use it as A(ssited) I(ntelligence). Being both a singer and developer I hope I qualify


I recommend the CVT app for more comprehensive information. (Also the Estill book is quite good if you have an Estill teacher.)


You should ask the word machine to try a little harder to be consistent about the language it uses:

> Adele (signatur), de fleste popsangere bruger det selektivt

(I'm assuming you didn't spot this bit during your proofreading because this, whatever it is, is your native tongue)


Oh. Thanks. Yes that's a slip. And yes it's my native (danish).

Updating ...


For the average non-schooled singer there is a lot of new information here. I have sung most of my life, in choirs, in church, and otherwise (not much in the shower though), and don't explicitly know most of these things. I have heard there are things like chest and head voice but I wouldn't know where one ends and the other begins.
