I will never understand why people put giant lifts on trucks, but don't install bigger tires. In the 4x4 world, you actually want a lower center of gravity so you don't flip, meaning that normally you only lift your truck enough to fit the size of tire that you want. These pavement princesses look like wrestlers with ballerina legs.

I guess the joke is on me, I've had a sinus infection or something for like a month so my nose is always either running, or clogged. Sometimes both at the same time!

Couldn't agree more. Destroying our planet faster just so people don't have to write their own emails seems insane to me. Google literally wants to use private nuclear reactors to power their AI projects... Do people really think that won't be expensive, both economically and climate-wise?

Not surprised at all. Pearson is the worst airport I've ever had the pleasure of passing through.

My brother and I quote this money to this day, such a classic.

"How could he see me?"

Well that was dumb.

The grass is always greener and all that. I spent the first 15 years of my adult life destroying my body in the trades. Sure the money was good, but the hours sucked and you're still dealing with idiots all the time. Maybe Tracie in accounting doesn't know to not click on every link she receives in her email, but at least she can write a coherent sentence and refrain from smoking crack in the porta-potties...

And don't even get me started on service work. People who can't use computers have nothing on people who can't change a light bulb or plunge a toilet.

No surprise that this happened at Pearson to boot. I don't think I've ever had a good experience while flying through there.

Mine does that too. It's usually only for around 20 seconds, so it doesn't really bother me.

The key here is elevation. I'm 183 cm and weigh 95 kilos, and I live in the Alps. For sure, I'm not always hitting those numbers, but throw a couple of big climbs in there and it starts to make sense.

Try getting into biking. I burn 1500-2000 calories (I'm not a small dude) in like 2 hours of road cycling. It's relatively easy on the body compared to running as a bonus.
