An argument presented in this case is that increased pay to college athletes will incentivize them to spend more time on their athletics and less on their academics. How convincing do you find that argument, applied to…
Safety is a big concern, and a place to safely store your bike (at home and at work) is another big one. I'd imagine lots of the walkers live in condos or apartments where storing a bike can be really tough.
Agreed, but jeans are really unattractive at the distances the author is riding. His circumstances are unfortunate, since the set of advice applicable to <5 mile rides is very different to his ~20mile trip. Related, I'm…
Justice Thomas also broke a multi-year streak of silence to make fun of his alma mater, Yale. Playing the long game.
I recently read and enjoyed the essay version. Would you recommend the book? Specifically, did you feel that the amount of depth in the book necessitated that format as opposed to an essay? I'm frequently disappointed…

Your point absolutely has merit. I know some, but not many, badly overweight people who exercise regularly. I know some, but not many, skinny people who never lift a finger. I was mostly trying to address the direct…

The open office from which I type this is usually quiet. Three of my neighboring co-workers have chronic coughs, throat clearing, and hacks. I wear earplugs inside can headphones that are on all day, and still, it's…
Streetcar tracks are definitely a challenge in the city. Probably the root cause of ~1/3 of my friends reported crashes (unabashed anecdata). I ride on fatter tires than I would like in order to avoid getting stuck in…
I'm finishing the book Dreamland, by Sam Quinones, which directly addresses your questions (with a particular focus on addiction in middle america/appalachia) Q1: Medicaid co-pay for $1000 worth of OxyContin was (as of…
'> 2) Ban hitting. Everything should be a wrap around tackle. No more players running full speed and launching themselves into other players. Look at how few players actually try to tackle people. I get what you're…
One of the barkley finishers (serendipitously featured in the documentary!) wrote a terrific and long race report [1]. Really good and unpolished insight into the training and race experience. I enjoyed reading it just…
Agreed, the other replies to this question seem to understate the difficulty of the route. It's a lifetime achievement for almost any climber. I'd ballpark that it's been free climbed by 100-300 people?
I loved squash through undergrad for exactly those reasons - structured, high intensity, fun, low time commitment. But I couldn't call it low-impact; I don't play today because I found the game had too much stop-and-go…

Two considerations when installing permanent hardware: 1 - You're drilling a hole in a rock. It's a small action, but it can't be undone. Can you justify forever altering part of a beautiful natural landscape to support…

My default browser remained the same, but I had the same experience with Edge and the Windows Store being pinned to the taskbar. I don't like the feeling of not being in control of my own machine.
I got a good laugh out of his bio line 'After leaving traditional high school to compete on the international ski racing circuit...,' trying to throw off a genius-playboy-athlete vibe. His FIS profile has him as a 100…
Thanks for the clarification, I read it backwards first and did a double take.
I agree. The initial messaging is to spark some sense of play and to screen for robots/crazy people. After that's established there's really not much to be gained by further messaging.
