When you live more than 20 miles away from any job openings, it starts to become the only option

Reply to Vulnerable and grandiose narcissists exhibit different cortisol reactivity to psychosocial stress by glum-platimium
The results of this research: vulnerable narcissists get badly affected by stress; grandiose narcissists not so much.
I guess that's pretty much as expected ;)

While it's not for everyone, its worth a try. E-bikes are amazing, no sweat unless you wanna. We make it an intergenerational 20k + return fun run, a few times a week, outside of deep winter and high tourist season.
I pick up full pannieres of milk, water, veg, then either get a running start or trudge it up the (40degree) hill, with gramma on her e-trike. E-bikes are awesome. Works great in the fallen snow too. There are ferrings, hoods and carts available to attach. The bigger problem, outside of both locking and guarding the bikes, is lack of interconnecting trails to supplies and the biggest danger is motor traffic.
We manage to do this in 3 countries and 5 states. It's nice that employers support this by allowing bikes into buildings and card access to monitored parking garage lockers in others. Trains are good with e-bikes too but buses make you lift them. I'd like to see faster lifts on buses and trains for less able people.
There are also some impressive little pod bikes/cars (covered trikes), Sporty e-trikes, snow and water craftsman as well as off roaders, to be experienced.

You did well to pick it up so early.
Oddly sugar free chewing gums the thing i miss most now.

To bad the mechanics of the virus are completely different and your immune response is a terrible way to relate risk. COVID is a syncytia SARS virus that eats your body.
But sure... it's a cold... because it's in your upper respiratory tract, next to your brain.
Good one.

The mRNA was never good in any capacity.
If the risk of death from COVID is your primary concern then you are going to have a bad time with Long COVID.
Novavax is the far superior vaccine.

I saw your transcript and you went to Qoxford United, an online school running out of a strip mall in Ohatchee, Alabama before a tornado leveled it. And you studied mattress tag law.

> Law can only ever favor entrenched wealth and power
That is a very maximalist claim about a concept with a pretty loose definition -- and you are offering no alternative.

As a migraine sufferer, I stopped going anywhere near aspartame like 15 years ago. That stuff gave me the worst migraines.

No. You don't live in the real world obviously you live in some sort of bubble. Bikes are fine for exercise but as an actual means of transport they are ludicrously impractical.
Not to mention the health issues with knees and balls from long term riding. Bikes are not the answer.

Weird. I'd just been suffering from 18 months worth of horrendous cyclical migraines. (Almost daily in end) cut out booze 2.5 years ago as knew that was major trigger.
Still got em just less frequently. I substituted booze with coke and chocolate. 6 months ago they got way worse... forgot at same time substituted reg coke for coke zero.
3 weeks ago cut out chocolate and coke zero almost cold turkey after nightmare migraine that lasted 3 days and culminated in the only thing that i felt like eating being chocolate. Really felt like chocolate for 24 hours after that. Coke zero was the hardest thing to ditch wanted that like crazy round lunchtimes as had become a 'habit'.
Since then no chronic migraines.... odd mild headache treated with ibuprofin/ paracetomol.
Had a few false dawns with migraine fixes but so far ditching aspartame and sweets seems to be a game changer as migraine stopped over night... also oddly memory has improved. Dont 'crave' food anymore (appitite massivly reduced).
Tldr. Aspartame causes sugar cravings sugar low seems to cause my migraines.

really? How much stuff you do actually carry around on a daily basis? I bet most of it you don't really need. Get kiddie bike seats or kiddie trailers for the small ones. Hills? You have legs, for christ sakes. Use them. Get fit. Stop using lazyness as an excuse. Weather? We have clothes for that. Stop being such a milquetoast washout. Myself and plenty of others ride bikes daily for transport, it works fine.

There is no barrier to calories on a ketogenic diet, provided you're willing to go for higher fat cuts of meat. It is harder for vegetarians though.

Hell no. The very last thing I want is an unlicensed electrician causing a string of electrical fires years after the job's done because of faulty wiring or lax adherence to standards.
Licensing is not just to protect the individual hiring the contractor, it's also to protect the general public from the consequences of inadequate workmanship.

Unless you have a history of food restrictions and/or eating disorder. It really is not a panacea when you take into account mental as well as physical health.
