Good article. Can vegan be a good diet for an athlete? Yep. Is it objectively the best diet for an athlete? Nope (because there isn’t a “best”).

Carpal tunnel sets in largely *because* of the reason grip strength exercises are beneficial. Larger-muscle, larger-motion exercises help prevent against repetitive motion injuries. And working up your grip strength independently will help prevent injuries like you experienced doing the pull ups. But you don’t want…

Speaks to just how badly the people running things don’t understand the problems they’re managing. I’ve had times in my life when $100 would have been a significant amount of money to come up with outside of my budget, and “a few grand” may as well have been “a few million” for how realistic it would have been for me…

Yeah, I don’t get this. Who thought he was actually driving the whole time? I mean, maybe in a couple clips for setup, but not for most of it.

How is this hard? As a host, I try to have something everyone likes. I don’t see how a host takes joy in making people eat stuff they don’t like. It’s not a lot different than feeding my own kids. I’m not going to be intentionally hostile to their preferences, but neither am I going to make them a completely separate…

The probability of something going wrong with a digital boarding pass is about the same as the probability of dropping your boarding pass.

Depends on the airport. I’ve put shoes in the bin and not in a bin. And don’t get me started on which electronics need to come out of the bag.

Yes. I may be echoing other comments, but not every exercise is useful for everyone. Some of these are pretty worthless, but some are useful for specific people training for a specific thing (like some of the jumps). Always keep in mind your level and your goals. Are you a professional athlete or an elderly person…

Ride height. End of list.

How to Recognize When Your Smart Speaker Is Eavesdropping

Very nice. If they didn’t explicitly tell you not to, you’re fine. Places that don’t want you to photograph these days will make a point of telling you so.

I feel like you’re arguing against something no one here is saying.

Like I said, most don’t. And phones have made it all but unenforceable.

“I’ve seen AT-ST’s take out squadrons of trained soldiers ...”

Yeah. I’m on the same page.  More expensive, but not a “luxury” booking.

100% correct— The width is no different. Still a tight squeeze.

I usually see the bill just put on the table instead of handing it to someone specific these days.

That’s simply not how the law works. It’s privately owned, ergo it’s private property. There’s no gray area there. And property owners can legally prohibit photography on their premises. Not saying they should, and most places like restaurants don’t, but they very definitely can.

As a math guy, I suppose the correct assessment is not that their model is flawed, but that I’m optimizing for different variables. I treat “time spent parking” like air resistance in a high school physics problem. I know it’s there, but it’s an unnecessary complication for what we’re doing, and effectively negligible…

I don’t disagree, but in the reviewer’s defense it depends on the usage. Editorial has different rules on releases than commercial. And it can matter if the person is the subject of the photo or just happens to be in the background.
