I ride a bike 8 miles every week day and walk at least 2 miles on top of that so that's my cardio. I prefer cardio over weights (no poo poo if you see my Strava) and leave the weights to being in the garage. Maybe not much longer, I'm going to start working my FTP upwards and that means more raw power = squats and deadlifts. I want to see if I can hit 300watts for 20 minutes.

BraveUlysses posted:5k is pretty good when you consider that cancer can easily hit 6 figures Yeah. In the past six months, my parents have had the following illnesses: - My dad had a blood infection which shut down his kidneys and damaged his heart. He's been on dialysis three times a week since October and he had to have open heart surgery with two valve replacements. They also had to 'reconstruct much of his heart.' Whatever that means. - The heart surgeon, best in the area, basically said that my dad shouldn't have survived the surgery. He had basically PTSD for a couple of months afterward and ended up in the ER multiple times due to anxiety. Turns out, if you have chest pains and shortness of breath after you've had open heart surgery, they admit you for a few days as a precaution, every time. - My dad also had a couple of back surgerys in there - My mom was diagnosed with heart failure, and had a pacemaker/defibrillator put in. - My mom was also diagnosed with breast cancer (her second bout, the previous time was 30 years earlier and the other boob) and she had surgery and is currently going through radiation to make sure it stays gone. - My mom had a blood clot in her heart and was on blood thinners for awhile to get rid of that - My mom had throat surgery to try to repair her vocals cords, which were damaged from a surgery several years ago I'm pretty sure they maxed out their insurance forever. Also, going back to job chat: My boss is a down-to-earth, cool dude. If I sat down with him privately and told him I had a job offer but wanted to stay, what is the likelihood that a) they 'see what they can do' and give me a pay increase, or b) basically fire me on the spot? I mean, worse case, I have a job offer that pays better. I know they wouldn't want to lose me, since they've lost so many other people recently and everybody kind of comes to me for assistance because I'm the only one that knows their rear end from a hole in the ground. Additionally, my wife wants me to take the job and basically told me I could get a fifth car if I took that job.

Yeah, but he's outlived his life expectancy by 10 years already. When betty white dies, everybody is going to say "why, she was so young!" When clarkson dies, it'll be "about loving time, lung cancer or car fire?"

I flew with United last month with predictable results: - flight out was cancelled since the plane was declared unairworthy as it was parked at the gate just before boarding was due to start - next flight out I could get on didn't have any first class seats left so they could only get me into premium coach which is the same as coach just with a few extra inches of legroom - in flight wifi was down and they kept rebooting the system which caused the in flight entertainment to keep restarting as well - overall I got into San Fran 6 hours late - flight back was delayed 3 hours because the plane was late leaving and so when it arrived they just had everyone board with no time to clear - wifi was still down so they gave everyone free inflight entertainment... which only worked 30 minutes into the flight and 30 minutes before the end as there was no satellite coverage outside of the east and west coast These are the headline issues and most of them are 1%er gently caress you poors issues but if I am paying for first class I want my loving legroom and decent food ok. There was no overbooking fight club but they did keep asking for people to volunteer offering up cash, hotel and meals by the time they got enough people.

I fly United because I have exceedingly low expectations for medium-distance travel. In flight entertainment never works but I'd rather read a book so I don't care. I've got a lot of miles, but I'm probably going to switch my rewards credit card after this trip. My return flight is supposed to be on a 777 so I'm tentatively excited since I never seem to get anything besides 757s. But being United we'll either get moved to a smaller plane (and bumped) or the FAs will crack a stink bomb in our cabin right before takeoff.

Great news for Delta, as they cancelled something like 4,000 flights this weekend and hosed up a LOT of peoples travel plans. It was partially because of weather in Atlanta (I think). I ended up taking my mom to the airport 3 times over 2 days, and she spent the night in the airport waiting for flights. So as Delta accumulates that sort of bad press, their competitor uses a brownshirt to eject a paying customer from a plane and loses 80 million dollars in value overnight. Pretty sweet timing!
