    I second the couch to 5k comments. Additionally, If you have a parkrun (or international equivalent) give that a go for motivation and to help see time gains - they allow walking so you can do walk/jog intervals.

    I do want to ask though - why the hour between getting up and running? I (generally) recommend against running after eating. Get up, go for a run, then eat/shower etc after

    Google spies on me, but actually provides useful services (other than search) for free (ish) in return.

    Microsoft want money for everything.

    The rest of big tech wants all your data for basically no gain.

    I don’t trust Google, but for now the trade seems worth it.

    Part of the problem is that most people will spend most of their time around people of a similar wealth level. They will therefore always be around people richer than themselves and generally see less people that are much poorer (at least in a personal context).

    This means that ‘rich’ people don’t feel rich. (Unless they are self aware enough to realise it). It also means that your references for morals etc are now other rich people rather than ‘normal’ people (although it’s normal to them!)

    Therefore, they always want to acquire more money, and their references for how to go about that are the richer people who have already done similar things.

    Looking it up, it doesn’t sound like it. Looks to be planned for later this month.

    My understanding is that they are making the economy harder and completely removing the government subsidies that small cities get that make them absurdly easy. Other changes include making utility exports less lucrative and roads etc more expensive.



  • It’s all about risk tolerance. It was thought that improved brakes on cars would hugely improve safety. However it had a much smaller affect as people just braked later… There is a level of acceptable risk that everyone has, increasing safety measures just means they take more risks up to that level.

    Helmets make people feel safer so they do more risky things and therefore hurt themselves more in other ways.

    Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear one though!
