I own one because I backpack and frequently go quite deep in the back country (err, at least I used to before having children, but I intend to get back out there once they're a little bit older).

I've never thought of holding a door open for someone as being a personal sacrifice on my part. What am I missing?

My brother-in-law had to travel for work and left his car with us. It's a 2020 Honda Civic. The tire pressure warning light came on when I drove it a week ago. I checked the tires, only 1 was 2 PSI low. I filled it up in my garage and

My concern is that at least 70%-80% of the population of the country doesn't even consume enough alcohol to be legally drunk in the first place [0]. What happens when this machine decides those people are drunk and can't safely

I can only speak to twins, and they're toddlers and not old enough to be on a bus, but... My driving ability rapidly deteriorates when they decide it's time to start arguing / fighting with each other, or myself, or when they

This self-control aspect also works in other diets, too, of course. It's why I prefer cheat days over cheat meals in my diet. I've found that keeping myself consistent with my eating, and make deliberate decisions, for 6 days stra

I agree completely but I've observed that you will often walk away from those situations looking like you're wrong / you're the asshole.

How long have you been on an IF style diet? I "ran" it for about 3 and a half years before moving on. I'm curious to know what long term success looks like for people on an IF diet. I did get my weight under control on IF but

I have nothing but personal anecdotes and observations to base my thoughts on here but it seems to me that this has become true of life in general. And as the OP has now learned, it's of no consolation how right you are or how justifie

> Private school waiting lists are a mile long. And sometimes (many times?) the financial calculus is such that _leaving your job/career_ is the cheaper of the two options. Daycare is already more than our mortgage with 2 and the pr

I'm the same way. I even have a hard time with drops despite using them regularly for years. I understand perfectly well that it's completely irrational yet I have not found a way to gain control over it.

There's a massive gulf between the two and I expect you do know this despite the comment.

I got very, very sick once from mishandling chicken. It was "just" campylobacter. But it was much worse than the average case. I ended up in the ER and afterwards the county CDC wanted to know if I left the county, etc. Long story

Throw my name in the hat, too. I had my worst experiences on mushrooms and am still thankful to this day that I had the good sense to stop using psychedelics over 20 years ago. My last trip was a complete fucking nightmare of an episode and

Same here. To make matters worse, I used to confuse the tornado sirens in our town for air raid / civil defense sirens when I was very young and I remember being quite afraid of them, even when I knew they were routine tests, until I f

I was hungover on my 40th birthday. Decided to go for a fast 5k and ran a 19:32. I don't normally run 100% for a 5k, so I'm not sure about the timing. I tend to do a fast 5k session once a month and aim for 85%. I wanted a sub 20

I agree with you, and I love what the Finnish are doing on multiple fronts, but I don't think you're going to learn too much by comparing Finland to the United States.
