tough@phone: articulate reason2earn cooperation #out@basecamp

Precious — as of today (29 Nov, Aunt Gen’s birthday) boy still accepts my tough policy on iphone8.

Boy’s cooperation and concession must be earned.

— Highest priority: hand_in_hand.. if wife agrees with my policy 100% then boy will accept much better.

— priority: consistency
LKY said he has been consistent throughout the years, so people know what he is like.

— priority: clarity
At his age, he deserves to hear clear reasons and guidelines. Without them, it’s hard to earn his cooperation and respect.

— why I don’t want to bother to earn his cooperation or give a reason
This phone argument has turned out to be more costly more harmful than we assumed. See

• lesser_of_two_evils and
• too_tired_to_argue

Therefore, earning his cooperation is not to be done in my base camp !

win10 license expiry

tbudget? 3H perhaps in office. Note 20H is more tcost than a fresh reinstall.

— This is another winUp problem
Life is never perfect, esp. with these new technologies and devices. Spending excessive amount (often poorly defined) of hours on this (or the original winup) problem is worse than accepting nagging popup reminders.

🙂 luckily I spent only $299+$30 on the glue, rather than $1299. An expensive computer will also have similar software problems.

–backup

• Before any change, need to back up all installers in some tarball.
• git push

— https://howtofixwindows.com/windows-license-will-expire-soon/ .. updated Oct 2020. I followed it. Managed to retrieve and remove existing key.

===== sugg: try living with unlicensed. If unbearable, then ask shop to reactivate for me. If unable then pay $30 and hope for another year without issue? Better go back to the same shop to get original Acer drivers installed on the original OS version.

wind energy capability in China++

As of 2019, wind provided only 5% of China’s power.^[4] This is much higher than the 0.1% I heard years ago.

— as of 2019 , total wind power generation capacity in gigawatt. Out of global total of 650 GW

1. 240 GW / 36% by China
2. 105 GW / 16% U.S
3. 60 GW by Germany
   • 190 GW by EU including Germany
4. 40 GW by India

Above is capacity in watts. Below is actual amount of energy produced.

— as of 2017, total annual production of wind energy, in terawatt-hour

1. 300 TWh by China
2. 260 TWh by U.S.
3. 100 TWh by Germany

workout: 10m * 5D/W #criticalMass

30-minute sessions are a common criteria for “effective workout”, including reasonable amount of rests. I prefer 10 or 15 minutes as the criteria.

I discussed the right and wrong priorities in a healthy lifestyle, and I said I’m becoming one of the individuals with the right priorities. Part of that transformation is the number of “active days” in a week.

I told my friend Raymond Teo that once you hit 5 times a week, and maintain it for a few months you will notice the difference in your physical and mental condition.

My friend Ashish told me he could hit 4 times a week.

stretch .. should be part of the weekly dosage. One or two yoga sessions each week is very good but tough.

— some workouts equivalent to 10-min jog. See blogpost on star_rating

• [s = sweat, heart rate and heavy breathing]
• [s] climb 15 flights of stairs, like G-16 (taking lift down)
• [s] cardio for 80% of the jogging duration
• chinUp, pushUp, sitUp, stretch for 100% of the jogging duration but with more rests. These acts are tougher than jogging. See star_rating.
• stretch for 20m even without sweat or heart rate. Stretch is usually tougher (more boring, less self-sustaining) than all other exercise, so in terms of absorbency 5m is comparable to 10m jog. Unfortunately, i need much longer than that to maintain the critical_mass.

— critical_mass and self-sustaining .. If you hit At_Least 5 times (not average 5 times) a week for 8 weeks , it can be easy to maintain for a few more weeks.

git-blog files growing longer

as of 15 Nov 2020, my git blog files are much bigger than before, evidence of my success in reducing time publishing blog online. More important than blogging is piano, helping kids (on math…), localSys, wellness activities, even family outing.

However, the large amount of no-blog or fuxi content in git-blogging is slow me down… growing baggage. Need to move most of the content to the misc folder

• git blogging proved effective when growing a post incrementally.
• it now becomes ineffective when a file grows too big, and review tcost escalates.
