Bicycling and water jogging are both great but the former is far more accessible. Flat pedals are better if you're injured/recovering since you can adjust your foot positioning (if clipless aren't dialed in right you're kinda locked in and can exacerbate injury, and if you don't unclip in time you fall over). Padded gloves to keep vibration from aggravating things. I was in a boot for 6 months from a gnarly stress fracture but my doc cleared me for biking and I basically lived on a bike.

Also range of motion, biking helps for that since you're constantly articulating your ankles and loosening up the 'rust'. Trace the alphabet with your toes a couple times a day to stay on the up and up.

Check with doc ofc, and might help to get bloodwork so see if you're deficient in anything and also see if there's some root cause if you're injury prone. Turns out I had a vitamin D deficiency so I started taking a ton of D+K2, couple years later I got back into running and building up mileage pretty realistically and went couch to 50k in 8 months, before that I was always getting injured. Not saying it's specifically that, could be lots of things or nothing, but in my case I found that thing out and the sky was the limit afterwords. It'd be cool if it was some overlooked thing like that for you

Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump.

But look on the bright side, this guy is gonna be able to buy soooOOOoooo much gas. Who's that cool cat over there just driving in circles flexing? Damn, that's Rabiul, smart guy, smart guy. Heard they mistook his family for illegals, now he's free as a bird

The other bid wouldn't be an arm's-length transaction because that entity does business with Alex Jones

Is this not the capitalist dystopia they wanted? It was an auction, The Onion was the highest bidder, and the discussion should stop there, right?

Fun hammer fact: it's called dead blow not because it's supremely powerful or anything, but because the head is usually full of loose material like BBs, and it causes the hammer to not bounce back as much, kinda like throwing a hackey sack at the floor

Now I'm thinking of a hammer tier list. Milled face framing hammer is clearly S-tier because you get to leave your mark

It got the 'trendy buzzword treatment'. There was a time when people were using it pretty heavily to describe professionals with specific skillsets and expertise sent to foreign (usually emerging) markets where hiring locals might be spotty. There was a time when, if an expat asked a local where expats hung out, the locals would interpret it as them asking where the foreign professionals would hang out, and usually they'd all talk shop/share experiences, that kind of thing.

There are of course multiple definitions but the corporate world started flinging it around like such. If you were chosen to be an expat you were basically 'A team' material - smart, reliable, trusted with a generous amount of autonomy, that kind of thing.

But it conveyed some sort of prestige, like 'entrepreneur'. Now lots of people use it loosely as a colloquialism to describe anyone from a dyed-in-the-wool immigrant to someone who took a 6 month sabbatical to have an extended vacation on a sunny beach

That's probably more helpful than you think. It's often a little discouraging to be out there and watching most of the world just pass by with indifference. Even a couple chirps of a car horn or a high five from a passing stranger helps

I just learned today since I've never been compelled to look up any sort of conversion chart, but I had a hunch because dress/pants sizes are all over the place. One brand's mostly-honest 12 is another brand's flattering 4, shit like that

I actually landed on the deer and it got up without kicking me, but in my thoroughly concussed state I thought the best course of action was to just make some huge stream of thought facebook post and basically narrate my ordeal lol

But yeah I had a rottweiler-sized bruise on the left side of my body, shit was gnarly. It was a long ass night

If the loss in revenue from turned-off consumers unsubscribing is less than the revenue gain from ads from people who just live with it, then it's good for the business. That's the world we live in now
