He also put immigrant children in cages and molded the Supreme Court to criminalize abortion and made the prospect of a Putin-style 'President for life' an actual possibility in the near future. But as much as those things make so

It’s related to Hoppin John in so far as white Americans have a deep fetish for food that they can tell themselves is similar to what slaves ate. Gullah recipes are the latest incarnation. I think it’s all patronizing, at best. In fact I ha

The competition is paid/subscription niche video sites. Outside of adult content I think they are very, very small compared to Youtube. But some do thrive. To wit: https://www.offcenterharbor.com

You can HIIT row, see Apple Fitness+ if you can stand the wellness vibe. But if you want challenging, join the Concept2 challenges. I was doing 10k rows several times a week as a middle-of-the-pack competitor and if that doesn’t challenge y

Rowing is awesome but even a non-impact activity can be bad for you if it’s all you do. (I tweaked my hips during 2020 lockdown by overdoing it on my Concept2). My advice is an app like Keelo, which creates HIIT workouts based on the equipm

Wow, those sounds bring back memories of traveling Europe by train in the 80s. Is it just me or do I smell some stale urine and some pretzels?

That's my take. What matters is how much control you cede when you take $200+M. If you can hold onto control of your company and take a few million off the table, why not?

I've passively ignored most of what is popular culture since high school. Which is to say I'm not hiding under a rock, but I'm not feeling left out if I don't have my finger on the pulse. I _always_ miss some film, tv an

Point taken! I'm actually quite a lumberer myself; I like running on trails, but my primary metric is time-in-woods, not speed.

Trail runner here and I wholeheartedly agree. Life is defined by experience, not achievement. But some people never reach this realization. I live surrounded by very accomplished retirees, and some, on first meeting, give me a rundown of th

Arguments were effectively made that it’s not all hydro power - it’s a connection to the grid not a single source of energy. But in the end this was doomed by the route. If it were economically possible to go around the north woods it would

I don't know from Sunspel, but I paid $4000 for the seating in my living room and I would trade it for a pair of Kamfors right now.

Why, why did the Kramfors sofa get killed off? It was a $400 sofa that rivaled $3000 sofas from other manufacturers and nothing in the market comes close these days.

In fact, McDonalds uses the numbers of employees who are no longer employees as validation that they are offering some sort of bridge into the workforce. To hear them spin it, the McJob is a sort of stepping stone, by magnanimous design.

When CDs came out I was a kid in Western Europe and the chief thing we’d heard about them was they they were indestructible. So we went to the houses of kids from better-off families and threw their CDs around the living room.
