Just this morning I had to step over an old lady sleeping on the ground* and fight my way through a gang of HOOLIGANS+ to get "GROCERY" in this Cormac McCarthy hellscape^

They don’t realize there is fentanyl in all their food. Soon they will all be dead

So many tourists risking their lives in the post-apocalyptic #SanFrancisco Hellscape

Yeah I’ve had 4 whippets plus a couple fosters, and I’ve only seen them do it rarely. It’s a mystery!

My theory is that because their snoots are so long, but they have the same standard number of teeth, there are large gaps between the teeth where a tongue can loll out. You can see them clearly when looking at a greyhound skull:

I do want it to track distance, which the elliptical setting doesn’t do. But thanks!

To clarify, I don’t want to just not track the ebike ride at all, because my commute home is all uphill and into the wind, so it’s a 30-minute workout, even on an ebike. It’s just not as MUCH of a workout as the watch apparently thinks it is. (2/2)

#ebike people who use an Apple Watch to track fitness goals: Have you found a way to stop the watch from “over counting” your “outdoor cycling” workouts? 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)

And what to do if this is already your practice but have certain people in your life who text you every stupid thing Trump does…? (this is a rhetorical question, just simultaneously venting and empathizing)

Look up the county you were born in, then google “[county name] birth certificate” and you should get results for something like the “Vital Records Office” or “Birth and Death Records” for that county. They should have instructions for how to order a new one if you can’t find it.

What an oncologist wants us to know about everyday chemicals — Post Reports Endocrine disrupting chemicals can be found in everything from your nonstick pan to your shampoo. But what are they – and how worried should you really be about them?

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
