I’m always torn between how little and how much should be shared. Of course there’s things I’ll just never post online, preferring instead to share with friends. With that said, even within the limits of what I’ll post I’m often looking for the angle. Is
For decades now, U.S. wireless carriers have sold consumers “unlimited data” plans that actually have all manner of sometimes hidden throttling, caps, download limits, and restrictions. And every few years a regulator comes out with a wrist slap against wireless carriers for misleading consumers, for whatever good it does.
Since I started running in January, I’ve noticed something that, while not incredibly surprising, is still new to me: while I’m running, I feel stronger, more physically capable, and healthier. It’s a reliable way to experience eustress on a scalable level. I’ve been a runner since
