I always had a lopsided body, my legs were big from cycling for years but my top half was always small & skinny. I decided to do something about it. 24 months later my body is proportional, I'm visibly muscular and feel sexy for the first time in decades. It's amazing.
At 50 I thought I couldn't put on much muscle, but I was wrong. I will never be huge, but that was never the goal.
I was 27. Had an instructor and a friend who let me drive him around a bunch for practice. My mum got hers at 30. Just get it when you can afford it or you want/need it. There's no rush.
I was watching a SciFi tv show where large objects had an outer speed limit of 18000 kph and that got me wondering what things in everyday life are faster than even 500 kph....
A finger snap is incredibly fast, occurring in just 7 milliseconds, making it the fastest rotational acceleration in the human body, with peak speeds reaching 7,800 degrees per second—about three times faster than a professional baseball pitcher's arm—thanks to the perfect balance of skin friction and compression.
Not saying you're wrong, just pointing out this is interesting.
A baseball pitcher snapping his fingers is where it's at.
When I was a kid, my stepdad set up a telescope so I could see Haley's comet in all its glory. I'll almost certainly be dead by the time it's back in 2061.
Exciting news for those enough who are 40+ and spend too much time in front of a computer screen: a Finnish startup called IXI is promising to end the era of clunky bifocals and the 'head-tilt' struggle of progressive lenses, replacing them with a pair of glasses that focus as naturally as the human eye using a combination of...
I'm be ready to try it. Having to take my readers off to walk around, and put them on to glance at my phone is a real drag. I also need another pair for using my PC as the screen is further away. It's a real hassle, so I'd pay really good money to have a good looking pair that auto-adjusts for these uses.
If it's a subscription model though, it can eat a bag of dicks.
The spelling & grammar mistakes are normally on purpose to weed out the educated that will waste time but not fall for the final step. This is much cleverer.
Independent state run media can be harsher on governments than corporate controlled media. Editorial independence is key. The ABC in Australia was the harshest critic of government in the media space until they got hobbled by the LNP government sacking and stacking the board with ex-politicians and corporate media suckups.
Yes, I'm only worried about it being painful and my partner having to raise my son alone until she finds someone else. I'm much more worried about losing mobility and or faculties as I age, it can be devastating.
Why be afraid of my energy returning to the universe from whence it came?

It's a bit more than shit, shit is bribing FIFA to give you a peace prize. This is kidnapping a foreign leader and stealing a countries livelihood. It's NOT just a bit shit this is full blown state authorized terrorism. America is basically Russia.
I don't know, I don't see Maduro kidnapping foreign leaders he doesn't like. If Maduro is an ass cheek Trump is the post sodomy blood cum fart exploding on the world's face.
The United Nations have been trying to sanction Israel for decades and decades, only the US veto power has stopped them and the US military funding has enabled them.

It’s entirely insincere to pretend more arms to Ukraine will result in less bloodshed.
It's neutral, without the money more Ukranians will die, with the money more Russians will. We don't know how or when the war will end so it's impossible to know whether the total deaths will be greater or smaller with a better funded Ukraine.
It's just a matter of taking sides. And I know what side I'm on.
If you're old and wealthy, doing it for the education, not for the income, then it's never too late.
If you're not, then spreadsheet it. Calculate expected working life and expected income for current career trajectory, and compare with expected working life after education and expected income for new career minus full cost of further education including lost income while studying.
Or if your current works options suck, pursue further education so you can do something that doesn't suck as long as it won't leave you much worse off by retirement.
The calculations will be different for every person.
Remember any calculations and expectations will change over time, especially with the advent of AI. So do the calculations, then follow your heart. There's no guarantees.
I know this question is odd, but unfortunately we have a lot of unhoused addicted people in my city.

Well if we treated it as a public health issues rather than a law enforcement issue, the addicts could get the help & support they need and being a public nuisance would drop right off.
It so they can profile you and adjust their pricing depending on how wealthy you are and if you really need the product. Dynamic pricing is coming and it's going to be brutal. They're not collecting these enormous datasets on every household for marketing only.

I'm just curious why some people come here; in my case, it's because it's not the same as on centralized platforms. I love these kinds of forums.
