  • Everyone’s body is different but try lighter and more frequent. 3x 20 minutes. You can always push faster, more frequent once you get past “it always feels like I’m dying”, but at this point you’re trying to convince your body, “this will be a regular thing, I need to be able to do this”.

    Do 3x 20 and add in walks on off days. Anything to overall make your body raise its “floor” for cardio.

    Taking days off is when your body immediately tells your lungs and heart “see I knew he was kidding!”

    You can go from marathon shape to having running be a struggle at old levels with 4 weeks of inactivity. Most people go faaaar longer than that without exercising and think there is something wrong with or unique to them.

    Our bodies want to save energy and not waste it burning calories to keep you in shape, so regularity trumps all. Go light, go often, and slowly increase pace, duration, frequency as it feels good. Your body will respond in time.




  • And in just a few years, for me with my on-chip gpu needs and AMDs huge improvements around the same time, shopping for a processor went from having to read about Intel and AMD and wonder who I should choose for my next small laptop to not even considering anything with an Intel chip set. Thankfully this is also when AMD also became a standard offering at many OEM laptop makers (10 years prior you maybe had a few laptops in the entire market with an AMD option).

    Intel truly squandered so much market dominance–despite it being clear to a layman where markets and the world was going-- it’s breathtaking. The fact they missed both mobile phone chip explosion and GPUs despite having been producers of both at some level is wild. The fact they managed, separately, to lose an enormous amount of trust and reputation points with their customers is a testament to why their only new investor is someone as stupid and corrupt as Trump.






  • Related: Marjoe, is a 1970s Oscar winner for best documentary about a child preacher, Baptist preaching, the money involved in the preaching/god industry, and to a degree clearly exposed the raw core of manipulation inherent. It’s a documentary so doesn’t come straight out and say it, so it could be interpreted differently perhaps by a strong religious conservative. It’s a fantastic exposé.

    Honestly some of the Michael moore movies; Roger and me might hit different for some of those folks now that they’re suffering the continued effects of wealth concentration that is so flagrantly and unashamedly happening. Sicko will probaby hit many folks across the aisle as the issue is universal. Bowling for Columbine might be interesting depending on if they are a gun nut.

    The atomic cafe is in my top 5 movies of any genre. It’s not just about arms proliferation, it pulls together a ton of cultural pieces and shows how naive, propagandized, and horrible a nascent fascist nation began post WWII.
