Sunday School 3 years, 10 months agoSome directed thoughts-
I used to use a gadget to monitor heart rate. It is so cool to go up a mountain and watch your heart rate climb. I am sure what Autumn does is super strenuous and causes a very rapid increase in heart rate. Also kinda cool to have the estimated calories burned readout. Then as you get fitter you can maintain longer and…[Read more]

Sunday School 3 years, 10 months agoYeah motivation is a funny thing. I liken the by-now pervasive motivation to exercise for heatlh to the pervasive motivation to eat well and avoid being too overweight.
When i was a gym-rat i hated post new years cuz the gym would fill up and it was a greater hastle navigating and using favorite machines. But every year in due course most of the…[Read more]

Sunday School 3 years, 10 months agoEnco, ya don’t have to do anything super strenuous if that is not your thing. Just walking. Walk out the door. Start 30 minutes. Get to an hour. Whatever. Study after study demonstrates lower mortality for walkers. Reduced risk of diseases. It is good for the brain. Makes ya feel better too.
There is also a lot of research that supports the…[Read more]

Sunday School 3 years, 10 months agoKind words Davis.
It is evident from a few years of reading your posts that you are a kind and thoughtful person. Good advice given in your holiday message. If i may add one thing it is for those able-bodied who are inactive to add exercise to the mix-make it part of your life.
It is good to express appreciation to others. I just hate it when…[Read more]

@humanity-Don’t worry. We continue to treat each war symptomatically. Don’t worry we’ll just keep coloring the others as bad guys. Don’t worry when this war ends new wars will erupt. Don’t worry. Be happy.
Don’t worry. The march of folly will be undisturbed. A change in path is anath emaaaaa…

Belle i sometimes begin a hike at a VFW. Those vets are kind enough to allow me to walk across their property except on sundays when they hold a turkey shoot. And that one restriction is both for the safety of passersby and their liability. I sometimes stare for a few minutes from the bridge over the Scantic River. On several occasions i espied…[Read more]

Belle Rose writes: I think the United States has just decided that they are going to profit from this war until Putin sizzles out… I think Ukrainians will hold strong and their drive to win is WAY stronger than the Russian soldiers who have started to realize they’ve been sent out for open season for Putin’s personal man tantrums
Oh my god Belle…[Read more]

Sam’s guest dispels the notion Putin acted in response to perceived threat from NATO. Also credits Putin with a fantasy that is the actual fillip to invade Ukraine. Now where are the experts who are brainstorming how to end dictatorship? Dick tator tots ship of fools.

Unseen’s query: Why is that??
Cuz it is inconsistent with the good/guy bad/buy paradigm.
Cuz it is inconsistent with the narrative of the pro-Ukranians. Ya ever read/hear anti-Israel folks point out Palestinian terrorism or crimes? That is just how we are once having taken a side most everything is one-sided. It is like the internet-fueled…[Read more]

According to wiki a quarter million Ukranians collaborated with Nazis.

There is some merit in Unseen’s hypothetical.
During Cuba Missile crisis Kennedy and the defense boys freaked the fuck out over far less threatening circumstances. Kennedy nearly got us into nuclear war. And i have no doubt that if the civil war had gone differently and an enclave of USA had gotten its independence that if the USA attempted…[Read more]

Robert writes: Just taking a look at history, are authoritarian dictators ever satisfied? Show me one. Especially when they start getting what they want? They pretty much all go down the hard way. And if the West fails Ukraine, that will just embolden China, Iran and N Korea.

That article makes it clear that his intentions are unclear. One author even says so. Where they concur is thinking that Putin intends to make Ukraine into a puppet state. That makes sense. At worse it is as you have quoted or stated differently, “Putin certainly has an endgame in mind: It’s recreating the Russian Empire with himself as tsar. A…[Read more]

Cossacks’s history began as revolutionaries. But guess what? They ended up an instrument of oppression. I saw em as a kid at the circus. Wow can they ride. I wonder whether cossacks were as good as Mongols or Commanches.
In any event i do not believe Putin has or had plans to expand beyond Ukraine. And i am no Trumper. Once again the parallel to…[Read more]

NFT’s are way too sophisticated for his followers. If he wants that market he will need a traditional baseball pack of Trumps with some bubble gum.
