Is Walking An Underrated Form of Exercise?
  • Let's say you go to the gym 3 days a week, as an example, what do you do on the other 4 days?

    I walk 3-5 miles the same as I do on the days I go to the gym. I also sometimes run, and sometimes cycle on top of that. I worded it pretty poorly in my op. When i say walking should be considered bare minimum exercise I mean it's the baseline everyone should be doing no matter what. If you can do more, you definitely should. And not in lieu of walking, in addition to. If you're under the age of ~60 and don't have some kind of physical disability I just dont accept that walking 5 miles over the course of a day should be your only fitness goal. Its if course much better then nothing, but it should be considered foundational not aspirational.

  • I already deleted it because i read it back and the way I worded it felt kind of douchey, but thats not what I meant. The problem I have is it often feels like the conversation around walking as an exercise only ever compares it to no exercise at all and neglects to mention that if you can do more strenuous exercise as well you really should. It could be swimming, running, biking, dancing, anything to elevate your heart rate. I know fairly healthy, relatively young people who think walking a couple of miles a day alone is everything you need to do for fitness when really its the bare minimum.

  • IMO walking is the lowest form of exercise. Virtually all the benefits outlined in the article are in comparison to doing nothing. Almost any other form of exercise would give you far greater returns. The only benefits walking has going for it over other exercise are its free, has an extremely low barrier to entry fitness wise, and its easily integrated into any lifestyle. You dont even need to set aside time specifically to walk, you can just walk places you were going to drive.

  • Yeah and if it were some mundane claim it would probably get away with it. But its always something outlandish like say being able to perform fully automated blood tests with a single drop of blood.

  • Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor
  • Don't put all your eggs in one basket again, that's what makes degoogling such a difficult thing. There's several proton services I intentionally avoid and use alternatives for so I don't have to uproot my entire digital life to leave them if they start being shitty. If you go from using all google services to all proton you're setting yourself up to need the same sort of big migration down the road. 15 years ago google was also an awesome company that kept making incredibly useful things for users just because they could and look at them now.

  • “Where did all the money go?”: Star Wars Fans Can’t Believe Disney Spent Twice the Money as Godzilla Minus One to Make Each Episode of The Acolyte
  • Does that matter prop wise? I'd say I have above average knowledge of star wars lore and I have absolutely no idea how to visually tell the difference between say the old republic era and the most recent trilogy. The only thing I can think of that reliably identifies a time period in star wars in terms of visual design is storm trooper helmets.

  • Do people think these Star Wars sets just exist already or something?

    Yeah i do. After the new movies, several tv shows, and the galaxys edge theme parks they have a decade plus of star wars specific production infrastructure to draw on. They're not starting from scratch on this show.

  • Mercedes-Benz scales back electric ambitions as EV pessimism grows
  • A big part of why the tesla plug was chosen as the north american standard plug is the lack of infrastructure upgrades needed. Apparently it uses exactly 1 phase of a commercial electric line so it needs far less infrastructure to add charging if there is commercial electric already. For example they'd be able to install just an outlet on every streetlight.
