Lots of pro runners run over 100 miles a week, once you’re there it’s not so bad. Cyclists will do even more, bike packers get excited by the idea. As a kid I went to canoe camp and we would paddle for 40 hours a week sometime. Not sure if I should include through hiking.

I’ve worn 5" inseam running shorts for mountain biking sometimes. It’s not so bad bus sometimes you bounce your knee/thigh off the top tube and that can leave a bruise. I usually wear 7" inseam tho.
There are some cycling bibs that have better ball comfort, they will excentuate your package.

It’s kind of a dumb argument to begin with. Like yeah the grid is weak in a lot of areas, maybe we should strengthen the grid as people electrify their transportation.

So you were expecting trump to do something different? I’m saying I’m not surprised at Trump’s actions. But why would FIFA enable this sort of action, just say no.
- Comment on Belgium national team's officialsocial media post after beating theUSA national team in the World Cup:"Overturn this" 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s weird or uncommon for trump to ask FIFA to reconsider a red card. He’s a politician doing politics there. It is weird for FIFA to go along with it though, I would be upset at FIFA if they hadn’t already proven how corrupt they are in the past.

I’m pretty skeptical that palm oil is more unhealthy than butter. The farming practices surrounding it’s production are not wholesome sure. But it tastes good and cost less than butter.

I really love the atmosphere of skellige. Something about it is so nostalgic, the blowing wind, the clouds that look like a huge storm is about to roll in.

I thought most ediacrin biota were soft bodies. Like the transition to the cambrian is when carnivores really start to diversify and in response things grow shells. All I’m saying is that the cambrian would be a crunchier period of earths history.

It says I should be eating between 67 and 200+ g of protein, because of how much I exercise it should probably be like 150+ and I’m definitely not eating enough protein.

I bought a steam deck when they came out (the cheapest one so I could upgrade the storage myself), and it’s a pretty nice device. But I honestly couldn’t come up with a use case for it. I think I just don’t like games as much as I used to.

100% Orange Juice and those types of games. It’s not super popular but also people love it. Personally I couldn’t think of a more boring type of game, even with friends there’s boardgames I’d rather play.

Gaming has gotten so huge that investors want to target the most lucrative segments of their market. It’s not that you can’t make money with games. It’s that exploiting addiction is better at wealth extraction.

Well I don’t think the vocabulary is particularly important here, since they likely didn’t use the words in the same way we do. Like some scripts like batard or English secretary hand were evolutions of the formal script that reduced pen strokes to be faster to write making them more cursive.
But I’m curious about the history of connected letter scripts like Italian round hand. But most of the books I’ve read about handwriting have been in the American tradition, and it helps they are easy to find on the Internet. Some cursory reading on the subject seems to point to it coming from Italy in the form of old Roman cursive. To my eyes old Roman cursive seems related but is too different for me to call a flowing connected letter script. This isn’t surprising though since it was used to write on wax tablets.
It seems like something we would recognize in the modern world as a connected letter cursive originated in the late 15th century Italy out of italic script. But I don’t speak Italian or Latin so I don’t know how to find any primary sources on this.

As a person who’s special interest is calligraphy, what do you mean by cursive? I had always thought that scripts were on a spectrum between gothic and cursive, with more strokes per letter or less strokes respectively. Though I mostly practice ornamental penmanship (fancy spencerian), so I don’t know much about the history of hands in Europe.

Just like humans their emotions change with the environment. When it’s hot out and it’s been dry for a while, there’s not much food for them and they get very irritable. That includes honey bees.
