I would guess it’s about as calculated as a fish swimming. The guy has simply always done this in all situations, and it has never not worked, so why would he stop. It’s like the world-record run of playing “Do you know who I am?” with the police officer.

I think he’s already fully aware of the hypocrisy. When you look at how much was invested in anti-cannabis propaganda in the past, it’s probably just a political calculation for him (and so many state leaders) to drop some line about “caution” and kick the can down the road. There’s still a significant chunk of 70+ voters who would be truly upset about legalization, since the alternative would be accepting that they were deliberately misinformed for most of their lives.

It’s frustrating because so many of the older city and town centers actually have decent walkability, even if growth made things a little more complicated. It’s mostly the later development surrounding the cities where the only thought during planning was how the cars get from point A to point B and then park, and now the barriers to fix that situation are enormous. Some of them will update their ordinances to require sidewalk construction during new development, but it’s not all that helpful when you end up with sidewalk stubs connected to nothing. It also doesn’t fix the existing arrangement of buildings and drives that makes everything so hostile to pedestrians.

I almost had this half-baked thought about the northwestern moose population being separated from the ones in the northeast, but then I remembered that they don’t need passports to get into Canada.

Makes sense. Do you know if there’s a specific name for it? I assumed there had to be a reason everyone knew to include it in their editing, but I know there’s some heavy bias there too since I’m less likely to stumble across uninteresting videos.

That’s an amazing streak. Congrats on keeping it going!

Streak running was exactly what got me over my initial barrier back when I was struggling with recurring injuries in beginner-level marathon training plans. I think the consistency of those easy runs really built up a foundation for more focused training in a way that the on/off schedules couldn’t. I dropped the initial streak just before finishing a full year, but I have a feeling I’ll circle back eventually when I’m running just to stay active instead of training for specific events.

Imagine we’re at the point where the Titanic has split in two, and the remaining portion is held afloat by trapped air. You can patch the hole made by the iceberg, but it probably won’t change my plans too much.
