I opened this article, and kind of wish I didn't. This man sucks.
Quote from this article where the dude ends up taking something with real bad side effects then bloviates about how he's the one true god of health: “Very experimental” is a fair assessment. Johnson’s protocols sometimes involve taking drugs based on limited trials in humans, like rapamycin, a drug originally formulated to act as an immunosuppressant for people after an organ transplant, and which is being investigated for possible anti-ageing effects. Promising results have been seen in mouse studies, but Johnson stopped taking the drug last year after experiencing side effects. His team then also found a study indicating that rapamycin may accelerate ageing in humans. So, is he ever fearful of experimenting with interventions that aren’t backed up by solid science? “I would flip that. A lot of people would look at this experiment and say, ‘Bryan, but wait, you are at so much risk!’ and I say, ‘Friend, you are at greater risk than I am because you are experimenting with fast food and staying up late and drinking alcohol and eating toxins’,” says Johnson. “Their lives are higher-risk than mine. I am taking fewer risks overall because I eat well, I sleep well and I exercise all the time. I look at them and say, ’Why are you running the experiment to see what happens to you when you eat junk food?’”

so true!!! there's nowhere you can turn to get a shot without the fucking things. Meanwhile in Tokyo there's streets like this a ten minute walk from the second busiest train station in the entire world. This one isn't even quiet! Parking is a scourge.

What's the frame? what kind of stuff are you aiming to carry? It's also super possible to carry stuff via the fork that isn't basket!

The world lays dormant in this unsettled flux.

This game is busted and weird but I loved the age of experimentation it was a part of!

The cute Meadowsweet one by the entrance to the Williamsburg bridge pedestrian path was coming down today as well. So sad to see :( (photo by Steve Ginther)
