I've got you all beat. My job is a 1 minute jog from my house. Less than a football field away. It changed my life. My entire life has been altered for the better and every few days I wonder why we stopped designing cute little Europea

For those of you curious why some Meetups fail: They tend to be boring and not well organized around a purpose or objective. Putting a bunch of people in a room together without a purpose is like gathering an army of soldiers in a gymnasium

They think money solves every problem, completely ignoring family stability, risk assessment by family members, advice, a roof over your head, more daylight hours since chores are split up between family members, sanity, etc.

I work at one. A nice one. Honestly it's all because of the drive and location. - Office parks are usually built away from people and this creates a "long drive to work". Americans are tired of driving and traffic. Office par

Nice explanation I just wish it went into more detail as to WHO causes the time delay. No bus stop line has stops where the exact amount of people get on every time. It's the fact that the first bus picks up more people (due to rush ho

For 2 months now, an alarm clock program alerts me every hour to do 1-2 minutes of quick but high intensity exercises. That's every hour. The benefits are amazing. I'm amazed at how many of my problems went away. I now get to slee
