This piece is such an excellent description of our current moment.

It seems to think I’m going 20mph on a standard bike even though my heart rate is only ~110. It’s giving me more “credit” than for running. (1/2)

They should have instructions for how to order a new one if you can’t find it.

Something I never would have expected back when I was a teenager shoplifting Dexatrim in the 90s is that 30+ years later, middle-aged men would discover eating disorders and call them things like “keto,” “paleo,” and other names they believe sound more “manly” than orthorexia
