Not OP but when I was running 60+ miles a week, I wouldn’t eat before most runs but I would get up about 2 hours before starting my long run on Sundays to eat a bagel or bowl of oatmeal or something similar. 15-20 miles was just too far for

What's the point of having laws? Criminals are going to crime. Really? That's your argument?

The distraction is the phone call not the device you answer it on.

Well you could be getting priced differently. Restaurants could place different QR codes at "desirable" tables compared to the average or worst tables in the house. Would you know? I'm not aware of any place doing this but

A curry house can have delicious food. I don't know that I've ever considered a curry house a nice restaurant.

Well, today, he is a citizen. Presumably, he was natural-born and not fabricated in a laboratory. Does that make him a natural born citizen? /s I hope.

Supposedly the flaw exists on a section where a “false door” exists for future alterations to the exit points. Perhaps not all of their planes were built with this feature. Nothing to inspect in that case.

So we let the planes fly between Southern California, Las Vegas and Phoenix and never above 15,000 feet. Or Boeing can keep the planes grounded, fix the problems, and recertify later.

I've been watching his videos on a 1970s pinball machine. It goes horribly in-depth (in a good way). Fascinating how much complexity could be managed with the simplest of interfaces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue-1

Europe BUILT transit. It's not like the tribes that migrated in from elsewhere found a working subway and decided to build Paris around it. America needs to CHOOSE to build transit. The carrot approach hasn't worked, so it's

Paris screwed up their city in the 1970s. They fixed it. The city didn't die. https://www.unjourdeplusaparis.com/en/paris-insolite/photos-... There needs to be a will to change.

My adult child lives in an area of Seattle where parking minimums have been eliminated. Their building, built 3 years ago, has about 65 adult residents. There are 10 parking spaces on site and the street the building sits on has zero street

Do you pay for that spot? Would you keep the car if it was costing you $150/mo to park it there? If not, then removing parking minimums accomplishes exactly what it is intended to do.

Honestly, if SiriusXM would simply offer a fair price for life I would pay for it. I refuse to do business with companies that force me to play the "threaten to cancel" game every year just to keep a fair price. My time is worth m

My public library will let you print for 10 cents. The post office will sell you an envelope or maybe even give you one for free depending on the level of service you are paying for. It's far from ideal, and the process should be eas

The little victories matter in the same way that the Snowball Effect works for paying down debt. It feels good to see marginal improvements and those improvements allow for even greater improvements in the future. The problem comes when we
