  • As a parent myself it always boggles my mind that people can forget that they have kids in the car with them. I'm always in dad mode when I have any kids with me, so I've never even come close to forgetting a kid in the car. Forgetting to grab the kid's backpack for school sure, but forgetting a whole child in the car?

  • This is my second season. I'm biking about 5 hours a week right now, averaging about 40-50 miles per week. I don't know how obvious the toning would be to others but I can certainly see it, since y'know I'm the one who sees myself the most

  • I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but I worked with someone who watched LTT religiously and seemed to get most of his training from LTT. I spent a lot of time figuring out what he did or didn't do, writing the documentation he didn't write them fixing what he built incorrectly. LTT tries their best but their background is purely in gaming computers and it really shows, especially with the repeated IT failures that really shouldn't be happening in an organization of their size

  • I wasn't the one who said to avoid the stock market. I just got the feeling that your comment I was replying to was saying to just place money into a high interest savings account and wanted to throw an alternate opinion out there

  • Based on my recent meeting with someone from the retirement planning arm of my bank, high interest savings is ideal for an emergency fund. If you're keeping 10-20k sitting around it's just going to keep losing value in any traditional savings account. But having the rest in an IRA or RothIRA (US-specific tax advantaged retirement accounts. Basically one is taxed as money enters the other is taxed as money exits, and there's limitations to try to prevent abuse by the ultra-rich) can lead to significantly higher interest. He ran a report of "if we took your 401ks that we're rolling together and they just lived in this account over the last 30 years of markets here's what you'd have" and the answer was actually a lot more favorable than I expected.

  • It's really incredible how biking works an entirely different set of muscles from walking or running.

    Struggling to make it even a quarter of a mile was really disheartening, but now that I'm going 10 miles at a time I'm really starting to get into the fun stuff. There's a bike ride fundraiser on a few weeks that I'm planning on signing up for. 18 miles over a 5 hour period. I couldn't consider something like that last season but this season that's looking extremely doable

  • I got super into biking recently, having gotten back on my bike at the beginning of last season, starting out struggling to make it the quarter mile around the block (about half of which is uphill of course) and ended my first season with an 8 mile record. This season I'm already up to 12 miles as my furthest ride without a break (just yesterday I did 10 miles which included climbing over 250 feet of elevation)

    Anyways point is, I decided last second to do a 5k on the 4 of July and upon returning home I told my neighbor who was outside about it. And he's fucking ripped with a 6 pack and he gave an awkward smile and said "I don't think I could even finish that" and it was really crazy reminder of how much some folks focus on strength and entirely ignore cardio

  • It's not unrealistic that a billionaire staring down the rest of his life in prison would choose to go out on their own terms. It's also ultimately unknowable for any of us normies exactly what went down in that cell, but don't discount the possibility that he simply chose to off himself rather than deal with all of the unpleasantness he had to look towards

  • I honestly stopped watching his content after he tried to make a video about gaming on an older more budget system during the height of the GPU shortages and they were laughing about how the worst components they had on hand was something like a 2070 and a 10th gen i5 and then were making fun of how bad the performance was compared to their current high end components that would easily cost $3k. It was so tone dead it was disgusting
