That’s a very healthy and impressive commute distance!
Riverside sounds better, but if that’s too crowded then yeah, road it is. I just ride road, and just for recreation / fitness / state of mind, and it really works for all those things. When I go at night, these days, it’s essentially all the roads to myself, which is fantastic.
Mostly fantastic. A couple weeks ago I set out to ride a new route, looping toward downtown, up over a big hill then back home. On the way down the four-lane into town, I passed a police car parked off to the side. I didn’t quite catch what he said but it could have been “you need to be home before dark” or “you can’t be out after dark”. Which would have been strange because neither the governor’s order nor the city enforcement of it includes a curfew, and outdoor exercise is an allowed exception to the stay-at-home order. I ride with a printed copy of it in case it comes up. But rather than court trouble I bailed on the new climb and picked a different route home, one that stuck to local streets and neighborhoods. When I got home, I watched some city council meetings and read notices to verify, and yes, no curfew.
For those of us who like English Premier League footie, there is an ongoing competition between the teams using EA Sports Fifa 20:
The players are really not all that good, but it is interesting if you know their on-field play; for example, I watched Moussa Sissoko (from the Spurs) playing and he plays in the game just like he does on the field, eg passing when he should take a strike.
I think that might be because nicotine is an ACE2 antagonist. So, not really “frenchest thing ever”, but informed by science (and still, a desperate measure - I guess getting this though the ethics board would have been difficult at any other time).
As always, this is very much preliminary, and just looking at this:
Sadly the DUP only want to use this to get the army on the streets again. Because that was just so great.
Also u saw a yougov poll today suggesting that England may be just totally bored of NI:
Worth remembering that Al de Pfeiffel’s first big achievement in office was utterly fucking the unionists who kept them in power over. At least the unionist politicians a century ago knew to never trust the English. The current shower look to the American right for inspiration and are at sea.
I have the feeling that this piece should have contained a complete written statement of Järvinen on his position, giving him the chance to be comprehensive, clear, and provide evidence for his stance.
Oh, thank you! Not that my Finnish exceeds Llevan polkka * and I could understand a thing, but I (wrongly, I now think) assumed they were just quoting him without context.
ETA: he’s not wrong that the second wave will be more difficult when it hits during the cold season. The rest of the short summary: I honestly don’t know, and I, for one, am having my fingers crossed for more research on every field to inform decisions. Making decisions is going to be tough. Really, really tough.
* I know it’s in an easter dialect, I just wanted to bring it up since I actually learned to sing that in canon once…
This has been known for a while. Half the “problem” with teenagers is we jam them on a schedule that doesn’t properly reflect when and how they sleep. Massive hormonal changes + sleep deprivation = extremely poor emotional regulation.
Easier said than done. The stuff that is going on is the kind of stuff that doesn’t allow me to sleep well. Perhaps people sleep better when they are less stressed, so the root cause is stress and lack of sleep is just a side effect. Correlation doesn’t imply causation and all that jazz. It’s very difficult to force yourself or force others to sleep more.
