Hindsight is 20/20 and I realize this probably wasn't the best idea to begin with....
(Scott Kirkland, if you were wondering..)
Age.
I get it. Many people have a hard time separating a single experience from an entire population, culture or cuisine.
While I am absolutely not a fan of the Russian government at the moment, I have to force myself to remember that many of the Russian people are no different than you or I. It's all to easy for me demonize and generalize an entire population as much as the next person, if I am not careful. (This is exploited heavily by state propaganda to foster xenophobia, in many cases.)
Still, a culture couldn't be defined as a "culture" of it didn't have distinctive and common traits. The same goes for regional cuisine.
After thinking about this a bit more (and also deliberating if I myself was overreacting) what we have is a fine line of context. Me exclaiming that "that countries food is crap" wouldn't be the same as "if you let those people in this country, our food will turn to crap".
My reaction is exactly that same as yours when I see out-of-place comments bashing Americans. I never go out of my way to troll or spread hate against any common person and it sucks when I get pulled into a generalization for no reason. Trust me when I say I hate our government as much or more than most of Lemmy and more power-hungry slobs are not what this world needs right now.
So, after considering your position a bit more and reflecting on how I react to similar situations, it's just as easy to portray being xenophobic as it is to be perceived as xenophobic. Both could be true or false, and the only hints we have as to the actual nature of it is context. Context, unfortunately, is something that isn't expressed well in text on social media.
I haven't read what you have read and probably might interpret it differently anyway. So, if you think something is xenophobic there isn't much I can say about that other that what I already have. Perception is what tips the scales in one direction or another, it seems.
I love Garmin metrics. It's an ecosystem, expensive, but the numbers rock.
I am sure this has been covered already by the volume of replies, but approximate max heart rate is computed by age. It appears that Connect has done the same, based on the zones it shows. (I am at the upper end of my 40's and my theoretical max is ~188, I believe.) For Connect, I tune it way down to about 165 as my LT threshold is kinda low. (I operate on ~1.5 kidneys, so higher intensity simply isn't possible for me.... Yet...) For outdoor running, it can automatically adjust your max heartrate and LT threshold. Seriously take some time and dig into the app and learn how it is computing metrics like that.
If accurate heart rate is important to you, get a chest strap that is compatible. The accuracy is much better than a a watch and the data doesn't lag as much. (I get better metrics about step speed loss and ground contact time balance as well.)
But yes, 180 is high intensity. At our age, we need to ensure that we get cleared by our doctors for high intensity stuff. (I don't know your full medical history, nor could I fully understand it.)
I have been running for over a year now, and am just now allowing myself to get into the 160's. However, the reduced blood supply to my left kidney (renal artery stenosis) can cause my blood pressure to spike hard. With lots of exercise and meds, I have that under control for the most part.
For me, as mentioned, I have underlying issues so getting up into the 180s could potentially be stroke territory. Over a year ago, I had a CT scans and MRIs on just about every critical bit of my body looking for the cause of my BP issues, so for now, I know there isn't anything in my brain that could pop quite yet. (The risk is still there.)
Also, it depends on the problem you are trying to solve and if the good deal lets you buy plenty of spare drives.
I have a 3 server cluster running 9 k8s nodes with persistent storage in Longhorn. While it thrashes the drives a bit more and I lose performance, I opted to use hardware RAID so a drive rebuild would be much easier. (I think with Ceph, it's a step or two more to kick a drive out of the storage pool before you can swap the drive safely. The fact that I can't remember much about Ceph already and it's only been a month or two since I setup a Ceph testing cluster should alone explain my decision.)
Basically, I get volume replication backed by easy to manage and affordable drive replacements. I even get mirrored boot drives too. The setup is fault tolerant to a degree and it gives me enough time to shuffle things around if a server starts to die completely.
All the drives are used and have already had a full life, but yey, the risk is ok because the parts are cheap. I'll probably buy another refurbished server of the same type just for the spare parts, drives and memory. I could even just use the extra server as a cold standby. Whatevers.
The cluster isn't critical, to be perfectly honest. It really just holds a massive tool suite of containers that I need at random times and now I at least have solid templates and ansible confogs for all of those containers anyway. Even the data isn't super critical.
Parts are cheap and my setup allows for disposable drives in a setup where risk tolerance is sky-high.
My NAS is RAID 10 with brand-new drives and read/write cycles are conserved. I care about that data and will probably mirror that storage that to an additional pair of mirrored m.2's to absorb most of the read a cycles while adding an additional redundancy layer. (The hdds would primarily only see write cycles and probably just function as an incremental backup location for specific folders off of the m.2's.)
Those are the cliff notes, and only I attempted to explain how I thought about risk in my setup. Volume over quality for my cluster: I think about fast recovery and how I can parch around a problem during a catastrophic failure. Long term: Multiple layers of redundancy for important data with less concern about price but I have less capacity and speed.
Having spent years around lots of equipment, I view a flashy red light on an HDD as a suggestion to do something about it in a couple of days if the server is just a worker node. (I have been desensitized to most hardware faults, TBH.)
I wouldn't go so far as to say xenophobic. Ignorance is probably a better description in many cases. It is also ok not to like types of food, or be disgruntled if the only thing to eat was food that was not to your liking.
Xenophobia could absolutely be an issue in some cases, but applying it broadly is a bit harsh.
It's got what plants crave.
I just won't watch any Tom Cruise movies, is my reason.
So you are saying we should milk a rooster?

For anyone wondering, that's Sarah Connors dream from Terminator 2 right before the city gets nuked.
Spores are everywhere like you say and you only really see a tiny percentage of mycelium. Fungi kinda is everywhere already, but where it can grow well is much more limited.
Fungi can be remarkably picky about its growing conditions to thrive, otherwise, it's growth will be remarkably slow. However, if you put a tablespoon of dirt under the microscope, there could be dozens of mycelial strands in it trying to survive. They can all survive, to a degree, but there are a couple of issues preventing dominance.
If it can find a place to settle in and grow, chances are that many other spores may be trying to take hold as well. Fungi is insanely competitive and is constantly fighting for space. Fast growing fungi is what we normally see take over food sources and it's usually a type of trichoderma. Trichoderma will literally choke out other fungal growths simply due to its rapid development. If an existing colony is weakened for one reason or another and it gets a trich infection, it's game over.
For commercial mycelium development, (button mushrooms, oysters, etc.) growing conditions are generally perfect and the substrate used is tailored specifically per species. (It's mostly sanitized poo or specific types of wood.) Temperatures need to be adjusted for each growth phase as fungi can be very sensitive to that. Some strains of shiitake are rumored to require a physical shock to fruit. (Like, the substrate bag needs to be physically smacked hard. It's an odd characteristic.)
To sum all of this up, it usually comes down to competition. Where there isn't fungi, there is bacteria. Plants even have chemical defenses to both. Small critters and insects may eat all three of those things.
Next time you look at your garden, just remember you are looking at an actual battleground for millions of critters of all shapes and sizes.
It's one of the better EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) tools on the market. For enterprises, they are able to suck down tons of system activities and provide alerting for security teams.
For detection, when I say "tons of data", I mean it. Any background logs related to network activity, filesystem activity, command line info, service info, service actions and much more for every endpoint in an organization.
The response component can block execution of apps or completely isolate an endpoint if it is compromised, only allowing access by security staff.
Because Crowdstrike can (kind of) handle that much data and still be able to run rule checks while also providing SOC services makes them a common choice for enterprises.
The problem is that EDR tools need to run at the kernel level (or at a very high permission level) to be able to read that type data and also block it. This increases the risk of catastrophic problems if specific drivers are blocked by another kind of anti-malware service.
When you look at how EDR tools function, there is little difference between them and well written malware.
Crowdstrike became a choice recently for many companies that got fucked over by Broadcom buying VMWare. VMWare owned another tool, Carbon Black, which became subject to the fuckery of Broadcom so more companies scrambled to Crowdstrike recently.
I hope that was enough of a summary.

Go eat a bag of cylinders.
Your cylinder is too soft. No way I am sticking that in my mouth.
You can pound your cylinder for as long as you want, but it's not going to taste any different
Huh. I don't think it's a good replacement word for eggplant. Cylinder just doesn't roll off my tounge any easier. It kinda makes me gag a little thinking about it, actually.
