Like most things in life: You must be motivated by a need or really enjoy it. As you, sport do neither for me. As you get older working out will be more of a need and you find a good group of workout buddies and maybe a friend or two.

I dont know of any place of worship (christianity in particular) that is unwelcome to atheists. unitarians simply take the parts they like from every religion to form another.

Any furniture we buy we always leave it out in the sun as long as possible to off-gas (release toxins) then leave it in the garage for a few weeks to further loose that new 'furniture' smell of chemical.

Its insane. I always hear that level of chemical is so low it has no negative effect on a person. But you add up all the low levels of toxic chemicals and they add up to something significant! Pesticides, detergents, personal products such

There must be a better way. I work on a project that does lidar scanning now to track construction progress and its a beast. Keeping up with the latest data is a huge problem (and this is not a tech problem, its a people problem). Issues ar
