Good point. I know many fellows, who forget that they are moving way faster than expected and it's the competitive cyclist to blame. Oddly enough, I know a few groups who basically race in the traffic; However, the ones I know, reside

I love To Do Sports. Every now and then a story on "Exercise/Sleep/Meditate well and you will reach the Nirvana of Human 2.0" comes up here at HN. But the thing is, that Sports are quite fundamental. According to Wikiped

Define a serious relationship! What's the significant property? A duration over 6 months? Or you already moved together? That's a difficult thing to do. As far as I understood, Elizabeth is somewhere near her 40ies and I'm not sure if she e
