Jesus it's objectively worse. NY/Chicago/London/Paris/Tokyo you can conceivably and easily nip out to a grocer's, bodega, cafe or pub within 10 minutes of where you are. LA? Outside of certain certain pockets like DTLA, KTown, WeHo or similar walking is tough and if your friend is across town you're SoL without a car.

Rogue is the gold standard but I honestly haven't seen any deficiencies with other smaller brands like Rep or Titan Fitness. I don't know your fitness level, but if you have the space I always recommend the basics: squat rack if you have the time (can also function as pull-up and bench), dumbbells, curl bar if possible, and free weights. I'd keep an eye on used/craigslist listings as well, with the pandemic lifting, a lot of people who spent a lot of money on excess equipment will be looking to unload extra equipment.

You're conflating two issues. One, the benefit of exercise on mental health, and two, the side effects of the gym lifestyle and culture.

Anecdotally, I find even dedicated heavy lifting (1-1.5 hours) does not improve my sleep but similar durations of high-intensity cardio (45 minutes+) heavily improve my sleep even comparing for differing work-related stress baselines. I alternate lifts/HIIT,Tabata and do this regularly (2+ years of 5-6/week workouts) and still have reduced sleep latency times compared to before dedicated regular work-outs. My job is 100% sedentary desk job as well. Dunno if that helps.

Man, that's crazy how sudden this car demand surge happened. I was in the market for a Model Y in February 2021 and got mine in March.

> Often, people expect to do whatever they want and then go to doctors to ‘fix’ them. It’s good for doctors, but not so great for you.

Hackernews doesn't realize they are the 0.000001% of patients we see. I'd love for all my patients to make the lifestyle, diet and habit changes I recommend in addition to the medications I prescribe. The reality is that users here do not recognize the privilege they have in terms of money, agency and knowledge. The vast majority of people I see are barely scraping by and have very little time/effort/privilege to make the changes I would like them to undergo.

I've got another anecdote about exposed information. Saw a car's 'Instagram handle' while next to them (was passenger) and got curious. Sure enough, their car's Instagram handle was public-facing and had links to the presumable owner's instagram handle (public facing) and his wife's handle (also public). Within five minutes of horrified clicking, I found both parents' birthdays, occupations (and photos of locations where they worked at) full legal names and birthdays of their parents, sisters, brothers (they had posted birthday celebrations and funeral announcements with names and dates), their wedding date (and all subsequent vacations they took), residence (posted about buying a new house), their children's full legal names and where they went to school (posted dropping them off at school), and the makes and models of all their cars (posted about buying new cars) over the last 5-6 years. It was a little scary to see how open they were.

> Writing this on an iPad keyboard just now sucked—light years less efficient than on my computer keyboard. And my phone is even worse! But I often want to journal in bed or write fiction away from my desk. Are there better ways to input lots of text quickly?

I hate to suggest you buy things to improve your experience, but I had the same issue earlier this year. The Magic Keyboard really is just that, delivers a 95% equivalent of a computer keyboard that allows me to enter long-form text comfortably on an iPad Pro. My n of 1 and all that but I've found it to be a suitable quick-boot alternative when I just want to write a couple paragraphs down instantly.

> Both the data and my lived experiences indicate a correlation between more extreme behavior among protestors and more arrests.

I think there's a false attribution of 'extreme behavior' with 'protestors' primarily. feel there are a significant number of people who took advantage of the protests to loot and burn and generally cause chaos. It's worth noting that Seattle and Portland, are primarily Caucasian (67% taken from OPCD), (77% taken from US Census Data) respectively. I think the looting can be more attributed to a general anarchy/countercultural movement in the PNW as opposed to protestors regarding BLM. It's definitely something that is more complex and requires more research than an off-the-cuff comment could generate.

In the immortal words of the GOP, "Fuck you, got mine."*

*But no not necessarily, but at the same time I had a lack of autonomy in regards to those decision made.

King James Version truly is the worst translation you can find of the bible.

Out of curiousity, how many pilots do you regularly hire?
