    When I do it? Yes. J/k

    I was always a slower runner but this technique allowed me to get my pace faster without injury. It takes time to understand the technique, build muscle memory, and then increase your pace.

    But when I was really into this and running daily (something impossible for me before learning forefoot strike) I had no problem really pouring it on within the limits of my ability. The technique requires a more forward lean for higher pace and it's not going to work day one. I think I was probably a month into it before I really understood that aspect and then it started adding sprints every so often into my normal pace.

    I no longer run due to a myriad of health issues but this post popped up. Watch a video on "chi running". Overly dramatic name for forefoot running. Hard to do at first but really pays off. The book is good but a few years ago didn't offer much over the free videos I found.

    There was a time when you didn't know what ad blockers were, that you could install them, and which one was best. You learned that at some point. Every day, there are many, many people who learn this for the first time.

    I use an index card with the book name on it. Find something good? Write the page number and a word or two about what you noticed. It's useful when reading books you might want to return to as references.

  • Guys, what's a toxic trait other guys sometimes have

    Prepared to be roasted alive for this opinion but studies (undoubtedly of white, middle class, US undergrads) seem to indicate women find clutter and messes more psychologically distressing than men do.

    I'm a man but I've had many deadbeat guys as roommates and I am definitely far more bothered by messes and clutter than they were so I kind of get this.

    If you are the "mind it more" person, you will find yourself rage cleaning because the other person can wait you out as long as they want if they are taking you for granted and not concerned you'll leave over this.

    So there are two toxic traits here:

    1. A willingness to wait out chores even if you know it's angering people you are with.

    2. A kind of willful blindness. "Honestly, I didn't think it was that bad."

    The second one might be worse.

    The first is excusable (plausible deniability) with the "men are oblivious" defense if the aggrieved party is not being overt in their request that a chore be done.

    The second is a person (some women obviously do this, too) refusing to learn to empathize and recognize when things are getting to the point where it's bothering the other person. From an interpersonal perspective this is probably more infuriating over the years.

    Back when Trump was running for 2016, my brother (really into finance) said "he wants to keep his interest rates low" because he (everyone who cared) knew Trump was heavily leveraged. This was before all the other crazy tendencies came to light, of course.

    For a long time I ssh'd into my vps to manage tasks and notes in emacs and even play dwarf fortress.

    With utilities like screen you can rejoin sessions anywhere, etc.

    Have you tried this?

    Never tried to get a GUI running like this.

    Donald Trump Photo Without Ear Bandage Raises Eyebrows

    I had a cancer removed from my ear and they bandaged it a lot like this? There are two primary means if bandaging an ear and they both look ridiculous. I have no doubt he got them to "make it look like a big deal" but you are not slapping a bandaid on that and calling it a day, right?

    Edit - Moh's surgery dressing is what I'm talking about.

    Look, I hate the guy, but that is how you bandage an ear.

    People got shot so that parts real.

    He could have been nicked or he could have caught it on a sharp point bending down or he could have cut it with a fingernail.

    My money is on the fingernail. He's probably on blood thinners. He's probably got thin, brittle skin. He probably clawed at his ear when the bullet whizzed by.

    He could easily have nicked it. A nick can bleed like crazy and also heal very fast.

    From there it's all spin...

    The simplest explanation is probably this given how fast it healed, I guess.

    I'm pretty sure I learned more about the US government growing up in Canada than a lot of US citizens. We had Schoolhouse Rock on tv with our Saturday morning cartoons (I'm old) and studied the US federal government structure for a few weeks in middle school.

    It will be nice when Trump has Lavrov over, only allows Russian journalists to cover the meeting, and reveals a bunch of classified info. True patriots want that. Right?

    Can you help me figure out what game this was? I saw it being played a couple times but only for a minute as I wasn't part of the group and just was in the area for few minutes each time (common room at school). It was the mid-80s and a group of older students were playing an RPG they referred to as Persona. It seemed to not require dice and characters were normal people living in NYC. I know a lot of the guys were into d&d (as was I) but some girls were playing that had no rpg experience and liked the game because it was based on discussion and not so rule based. I don't recall dice. There was a rule book and it had a black and white cover that I think had a guys portrait (neck up, face turned sideways, I think). Any ideas?

    Hi, is anyone else experiencing involuntary limb movement in sleep? I was put on a Parkinson's drug (small dose before bed) which was effective at first but isn't really working now. I'm calling the specialist tomorrow to discuss it but wanted to see if anyone here had a similar issue?

    Ok, I have noticed a real tone change in people who were at the SOL Foundation Conference. I've listened to several podcasts where people are recounting their conference attendance experiences and also noticing a shift in both tone and how much background they will divulge. * solemn to a person... even Dave Foley was having a hard time with levity * on Spaced Out Radio Dr. Michael Masters (did not attend conf. afaik) discussed an abduction experience that he had previously related in a very somber way... sounded like a man who knew this sounded crazy but wanted it out there (is this a mental health crisis or a person who knows his revelation will make sense to everyone soon?) " the Good Trouble recount was very serious and Matt Ford discussed how he was involved in getting a document into the congressional record, something he'll cover in a future episode * is it just me or have insiders become much more serious lately? It really seems like a change in tone, an increase in sharing details on things they would have only hinted at before, and generally a greater sense if urgency to bring the general public up to speed... Thoughts?

    I found this article very interesting. We have heard reports for a long time about the following: - UAP can look different depending on the observer, even when they stand side by side watching the same event - some people do not perceive UAP when others do - photographs of UAP tend to show things that do not look exactly like what the observers report We seem to keep finding aspects of human physiology that would "work with" the types of odd experiences reported by UAP observers (e.g. the DMT effects and our body producing DMT naturally, visual masking, evidence that ESP/telepathy is not only demonstrable but might be innate and can be enhanced by training, etc). Thoughts?

    I'm traveling with family this weekend in a touristy place and have been out in public in crowded areas. I am really shocked by the number of people who have loud, personal conversations on the phone in speaker mode. This ranges from walking down the sidewalk, to in line for washrooms, to seated restaurant dining. I've heard people say that it's because the phone speaker breaks (for their ear) but I've never had that happen in all the years I've destroyed phones and never had a friend or colleague say that happened. Other people say it's because the glass is cracked and they worry about cutting their face, etc. My personal bias is this is inconsiderate but then I ask myself how is it different from talking to a person next to them, say. I'm willing to be change my mind here. People who do this, please explain what's going on so I can sleep at night. :)
