After reading Born to Run (yes, I’m basic), I read ultra-marathoner Scott Jurek’s autobiography, Eat and Run, and stopped with the sports drinks and protein powders immediately. I switched over to water (what a novel idea, right?) and foods which are actually foods. My big breakthrough was things like burritos with…

Hey, that’s a good idea. It’d be perfect for things like trail running, hiking, and camping, plus it’d go with my vintage field jacket during the Autumn. Thanks!

It’s just such a simple watch that works. All you need is one (or a few) watches, and some straps, and you’re basically set for everything but formal. I’ve got several nylon straps, blue with red stripes for the spring and summer, brown and black for colder months, white for the beach, and a two leather straps, brown…

The show wasn’t funny and wasn’t even all that insightful, plus it had big shoes to fill. Maybe a minority of the show’s detractors had an issue with race, but trying to make the cancellation about that seems disingenuous.

Have you ever asked for it rare? It’s 70/30 beef last time I checked, so it shouldn’t be dry if prepared correctly.

Jesus, I’m sorry. I thought I was being cute, I didn’t realize I was pissing anyone off.

what other types of shorts are out there for men?

Alternative: audiobooks about running or beating the odds. If you really want to learn to adore running instead of just powering through it, listening to books like Born to Run and Eat and Run and such will keep you engaged in good stories about finding supreme inspiration in running. Maybe all the science in the…

Aren’t you supposed to use a particular kind of plastic for that? I get a plastic taste if I just use regular freezer bags at around 130°F, ruining the burgers. Even polyethylene will leach, and BPA-free isn’t as simple as it seems.

With everyone essentially accusing Saldana of blackface and trying to police her race, it does seem to be lost somewhere in the shuffle that she is, in fact, a black woman. Race-baiting doesn’t just come from shitheads like Trump, insisting that President Obama isn’t a US citizen. It can also come in the form of…

They shoot for ethical, but somehow always manage to hit crazy instead.

This is really important, because alcohol can be and often is such a central part to adult (or precocious youth) social activities. Whether you don’t dink because you realized you had trouble controlling yourself or you don’t like the feeling off inebriation or for personal health, there can be glances and questions…

It’s a simple choice. You either get to:

This article is more racist than what Lively tweeted.

(sorry, fans).

Have you ever worked at a place in which a shocking amount of people were incompetent and you wondered how the place even managed to function? There are places like that all over, places just skating by on luck and the fact that no one expects all that much. Instead of assuming some kind of horrible people work there,…

If humanity continues on our current course, from an anthropogenic climate disruption standpoint, what does life look like for our children?

He didn’t just wade into a situation he didn’t understand, he threw on his favorite swim trunks and did a swan dive. There is a debate to be had about the virtue and use of safe spaces, but between people who are familiar with the concept.

Plants in beds that get direct sunlight also can benefit from a bit of insulation, to slow evaporation from stored heat. I found I was having to water twice a day for some of my raised beds and planters, because the sun was simply too much. After doing individual plants, I put some leftover denim insulation around the…

I started watching Biggest Loser, but eventually switched over to Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition, because I felt that the goal was less about entertainment and more about the rest of the person’s life. Sure, they do have some drama, manufactured and otherwise, but the person isn’t shamed for being overweight,…
