That's not entry level, that's being exploited.
Making steady progress thanks to hiking. I go about 5 miles with a 800ft elevation gain 6 days a week. I will admit it is tough, but it seems to be working. The first month was rough, but July yielded better results. Yesterday was wild since I suddenly dropped 2lbs.
I know there is a pattern to the seemingly random drops, but I love the surprises.
I don't mean to post this often, but today was fun. I finished my 5 mile hike much faster, so I took a look back at the first time I attempted it this year back in June.
Not great, but it was the first time in awhile that I did it. Fast forward to today.
I shaved off 20 minutes and my average pace is 5 minutes faster. While I might not be losing much my body is certainly getting faster, stronger, and hiking is getting easier.
So don't look at just the scale because it can be deceptive. Find something that brings you joy and go do it.
It's quite telling that I can't tell if this is real or not and I can't be bothered to log in to check.
I'm in NJ so all we have is black bear, but I was able to scare it off easily. However, I was lost in thought when I spotted it. I am just glad it wasn't closer when I did.
Either way, itnwas a reminder that I am just a guest in the woods.
I agree. I'd love it if I could take a less demanding job. Burnout sucks and I would love to have more time for my family and hobbies.
I just can't see how that would work between paying my home loan and other living expenses.
I feel the same. Even in a state as populated as NJ the public transit system is mediocre unless you are going into NYC.
Suspending reality, it would be interesting if enough progressives moved to states like Wyoming (pop 580k) and the Dakotas (780k and 890k) to move them blue. Then vote in progressive senators. For reference, NJ alone has a population of 9.2m.
If that could happen It would be great to link senators to state population.
Manchin, Sinema, and fillabusters prevented any real change during those two years. IIRC Biden and congressional democrats were able to use budget reconcillation rules to get past the 60 vote rule to get stuff done, after they placated Manchin and Sinema though.
Ranked voting needs to happen otherwise it will always be democrats vs republicans most of the time.
Yep, I think so. I look at reddit periodically and while they haven't had performance issues lately (I wonder why, lol). The posts don't seem geniune anymore. Instead they are forced and lame.
There are probably multiple factors going on. First, there is the belief that you can't take away functionality people already expect. Second, while there would be a number of people willing to shell out money, they probably believed a majority of folks would not. Look at what people are willing to put up with at Facebook. I hate it, but most of my friends and family are on it so I'm there. Third, their backers would never approve because of point two.
I am convinced I'd be a terrible rich asshole. I'd never be able to hold on to that much money considering how fucked up the world is. That said, I have a conscience. Lacking one seems to be a prerequisite.
I feel like this is the answer. The amount of work to clean the screening will probably be about the same amount of effort to just replace it. Some local hardware stores will even do it for you (not the Home Despot)
Even if the OP manages to clean it the screen will probably be brittle and may break.
I am sure the stress is unreal, but It is appreciated. You all stepped up when everyone was stepping down (or trying to sellout). I am hopeful this will turn into something great.
The pay is really good, but not worth it. It's posts like this that make me long for a cabin in the middle of nowhere.
Just got back into hiking after an extended leave. I managed to get over 60 miles in June which isn't too bad for me.
One thing I am noticing is how much better I feel. My life was being absorbed by my job that I started last spring, and I gained quite a bit. Anyway I realized hiking worked pretty well for me before, so I decided to set boundaries at work and give it another try. I am glad I did because I am more motivated and my eating habits are getting better.
My goal for next month is 100 miles.
and none match
I blame dementia. I have a parent that's still a Trump supporter. It's as if they've lost the ability to use reason. I am pretty sure Trump could shoot them in the face and they'd still vote for/support him.
