@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe  ·  activity timestamp last week

This morning I was thinking about something: one of the reasons why every enthusiast should consider going to a BSDCon is simple.

I eat a lot and I still come back slimmer 😄

2024 - EuroBSDCon: ate twice as much as usual, came back from Dublin 1 kg lighter.
2025 - BSDCan: breakfasts that could cover a whole day’s calories, huge delicious meals... came back from Ottawa 0.5 kg lighter.
2025 - EuroBSDCon: double breakfast (sweet + savory), massive lunches, delicious dinners (including a huge pizza, as @outofcreativity, @angie and @mwl can confirm) and still came back 0.5 kg lighter.

Positive emotions burn calories.

So come to BSDCons: you’ll come back happy and slimmer!

@stefano @outofcreativity @angie @mwl Can confirm. But also probably the post-conference flu helped

@notthebee @outofcreativity @angie @mwl Oh. That’s not a great way to lose weight.

That is a Driver Issue !

You burning more, but sensors are detecting nothing.

@stefano @outofcreativity @angie @mwl it doesn't count if you just give away 1kg of swag every time

@hyc @outofcreativity @angie @mwl Ahah true. But I’m usually considering the weight without all the swag

BSDCan helped by having terrible lunches, so I was never tempted to eat anything after the big breakfast at Cora's. And often skipped dinner too.

@david_chisnall @stefano @outofcreativity @angie

When I took over as BSDCan con chair, my goal was "replicate past BSDCans, make ONE improvement."

That improvement was externally catered lunches, like shwarma.

I suspect (expect) that @bsdtv has continued the practice. flan_nom

That's a shame. Terrible lunches were how I justified great breakfasts at BSDCan.

@stefano @outofcreativity @angie @mwl this is definitely a valid argument for people like me… but i probably should get a golden multi-pass to attend all events, given the “situation”.
