For those people, any kind of a generalized take on "how much you can get away with in terms of fitness" wouldn't be helpful either. They will need a way more specific advice tailored to their individual needs and physical li

The lack of noise and smoke is a big one. I used to ride Honda CBR500R as my primary commute vehicle for a few years in Seattle. And while the rumble of the engine was not at the chainsaw-levels of annoying, it still sucked, it still emitte

Yeah, this isn't the HN I remember, but the one I am, unfortunately, stuck in. Slow but steady reddification of HN audience (judging by the comments) is its biggest existential threat imo. And the worst part is that, unlike with the ac

The grandparent explained exactly why it is an issue though. It isn't because US is somehow just magically more legitimate than Denmark. As they stated, it is because the population of Denmark is very homogenous, as opposed to the US.

Are you talking about being able to afford a private jet? If yes, then I would hardly call it a choice. I would definitely pick private, if I could, but I believe that most people (including me) just aren't able to afford it. Otherwise
