well well well, if it isn't mr I'm gonna call "far left" anything I don't agree with. GAFL

Dude seriously, watch the video in slow motion and make a sane judgement. There's no reason at all they should've done that. She wasn't even running over him or pointing a gun or anything. If they wanted to catch her they could've done it.

isn't jogging more impactful to the knees than cycling? I've seen this over and over.


Yes, but it’s a common misconception that impact is a bad thing.

The body, including bones, muscles, tendons and joints, adapt to stress. Many people do too little, not too much, as they get older.

There’s a limit to that recovery of course, and balancing it with stress is not always simple.


I no longer regularly jog / run / cycle, only occasionally for pleasure. I either swim or hike steep hills or if weather is ugly just put treadmill on 15% incline and walk very fast for an hour or so. Wastes energy like crazy and leaves my knees intact.


I think diversifying the physical activities is a good thing.

Also avoiding using your domotics, motorized vehicles, elevators and escalators, kitchen/cleaning robots/electric devices when there are manual replacement as well as not using domotic, does a super job on its own.

People have become lazy, pretend they don't have time to do stuff, then have to actually dedicate additionnal time so that their body doesn't suffer from their lazyiness. This is bonkers.

One day my brother saw me shirtless and asked me if I was going to the gym. I said no, I just have 2 young kids, carry my groceries including cat litter by foot, use a shovel to clear snow, use a manual coffee grinder and kitchen whisk and only use my car when it would take me more than 1 hours / 30kms by bicycle, etc. And I had an office job. Being active, fit and healthy shouldn't involve having to "exercise".


There is the downhill part of the hikes, unless you have ski lifts or similar way of getting down. I used to do running a bit before major paragliding accident, and I hiked like there is no tomorrow and still do... subjectively the hiking down part felt more stressful on knees than running (maybe not on concrete/tarmac).


> isn't jogging more impactful to the knees than cycling? I've seen this over and over.

my brief reading of studies shows there is no proven negative impact on knees from running. Some studies suggest there is positive impact: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11320545/

I can speculate that running is very natural to human, and body evolved for running through the evolution, and cycling is not natural movement.


Running absolutely impacts the knees, but the compression of meniscus for example is what circulates nutrients into it so some impact is necessary for healthy knees as well.


A poorly adjusted cleat is absolute hell on the knee.

It can be difficult to fix too as once your knee is sore it takes ages to come right so it’s not clear if adjusting the cleat is working.


Most people don't need clipless pedals and only do that to mimick pros or because they were told to by other cyclists.

This is stupid (saying that as an ex elite road, track and cyclocross racer).


Maybe not, do what suits but I find it helps, particularly over longer distances or up hills.

I’ve never tried real cleats, I just use mounting biking ones, spd. Doubled sided pedals seem easier in traffic and I use them for a decidedly non-pro 2-300km a week.


I used both and do not see much difference in efficiency. clipless do feel somewhat nicer but that was just a habit. Do not use those any more


People like to support artists or own physical media for art appreciation.


always hated when people buy these for non-utility purposes, it's all marketing and the perceived notion of looking tough. Specially because these big trucks cause more pollution, both smog and noise.


That's basically what happened, we're heading that way fast. The fact that leaving the country crosses my mind is a good sign


A better sign would be you actually leaving. Bye bye!


This is move by the journalists is inspiring to be honest, ending press freedom is what they want.


The pentagon and jornos embedded there were always playing the access journalism game all along. Nothing new is happening, this was just the secdef being so thick he asked them to put the punches they'll pull in writing. It should be seen as a union walk-out.


I don't doubt they're doing access journalism, but being part of the press pool wasn't really an element of that it the past. When's the last time a journalist got kicked out of the Pentagon? The access journalism is usually about what happens behind the scenes (e.g. embarrass someone in the Pentagon and you won't be getting off the record statements).


Secwar, right?


Don't encourage them...


not this way no, black hawk and tactical teams to illegally raid a build with innocent families?, I've never heard of that at this scale, it's pretty obvious they want to create a fictitious situation to convince people there's threat where there isn't any.


What I'm saying is if those people had been the people we generally do this to, as opposed to immigrants, we would have simply dropped a bomb on them instead of dropping tactical teams.

Again, I'm not agreeing with any of these tactics. I'm only saying that these kinds of actions have been normalized over the last 30-40 years, so we've all got to at least consider the possibility of such actions being taken against us if we fall afoul of the law.


yeah? and what are they gonna do when they get to safari, type the website, and accept geo location?. You don't know humans. you lost me at "if you told them", who's gonna tell them?


Your outrage and accusations are nonsensical, you didn’t understand my post at all. I was asking about that person specifically.


> aren't immigration laws there for a reason

Right, the problem is you're assuming immigration agents are following the law. You need to alert people of where they are to protect them. People who are actually here legally are being arrested, waiting for them outside courtrooms. There have been several cases of actual American citizens detained illegally based on racial profiling. There's no proper due process. Additionally, the treatment of those who are detained is very inhumane, using tactics to induce fear.
