Can we have a "It's not all bad news" thread?
No wonder I don't stress out. Many doses consumed back in the day.

Well, with the advancements in headphone and hearing aid technology, the two are starting to merge. I have pretty good hearing now (I am sure some loss over 16k, etc), but as I age, and hearing gets more affected (distinguishing individual voices, etc), Hearing technology will be better, more discrete, and cheaper than ever.
So that’s not terrible.
EDIT: As well as all sorts of medical shit.

A modified Jordan 4 for BMX, I can totally get on board with that. The J4 is my favorite skate shoe, so a mid for bikes makes total sense.

Like a hand grenade with the pin pulled.
and the rich guy who doesn't believe in global warming or sea level rise, probably votes Republican and is against entitlements wants the state to pitch in to save his home, 
Just north of Boston?
Possible.
But unlikely.

“What Would Hayduke Do?”
When this first passed I wrote an essay on it for my politics class and got hammered by my right wing wacko of a professor. After that paper I skewed everything right and quoted Fox News and got all A's. I voted for it and still support it.

In some ways she is closer to our roots than the vast majority. Humans are endurance hunters, with the ability to exhaust anything in a track and run. She is one of the few who still has the ability to run down her food.Man... people are fuckin' *weird.*
Not my jam, but you have to respect the dedication and ability. She is not so different than us. We willingly fling ourselves down mountains on foot-cycles with the almost certainty that we will be injured at one or more points. Some of us just don't get the message and keep racking up the injury scoreboard.
Not sure who is crazier.
Run Forest run.
Oh, I'm pretty sure.
no comment.
Well that is kinda contradictory, because if true, then a large number of us (obese population excluded) would have that ability, not just "a few". We are hunter gather's. Yeah, I've heard all that stuff about the endurance stuff, but you aren't going to outrun a gazelle, and if you track it for too long, a lion will probably get you anyway. Other animals will jump up rock faces like they aren't even there...good luck for hoo-mans. Some people have this ability, some humans survived this way, but it's a broad brush that some people paint by making this claim. Inuit survived by not running, eating berries and whale fat.
And all of that does not negate the fact that as humans we are CAPABLE of this type of feat. Nowhere did I say anything about other hunting methods, or did I say that we only hunted in this fashion. Bushmen in Kalahari are the best known example hunting primarily Antelope, there is also a tribe in Mexico who practised this until relatively recently . There is also evidence that Navajo and Paiute in the SW also used this technique long ago.
Me thinks that the environment you live in may have just a teensy, tiny effect on the hunting techniques employed. Just a wild ass thought.
Physiologically, I don't see it as possible. Not from a strength/endurance point of view, but from a physiological damage over time one. The impact to joints and other parts from running for hours and hours on end. I've done stuff where I'm training all fall and winter so I can sustain riding 24hrs/day for a few days. I've done a bit of longer distance running too, but backed off of that due to...physiological damage. I just don't see this as realistic. Some people do it, but as a "oh yeah humans can do this", that's like saying humans can climb Everest without oxygen all the time because people in Nepal can process O2 much more efficiently than the rest of us. It's a bit deceiving to say that the entire population has this capability.
You know why I like to hike on gnarly terrain ten hours a day for months at a time ? Because it feels amazing when I stop.
When I look back at some of my more notable and more physical accomplishments such as the cascades traverses, Race across america, or even when I used to run like baboon, I think it was pure lunacy and mental instability that was the driving force. These days I am perfectly content not leaving the recliner all day and ordering door dash.
Ultimately the experiences were so involved and singular in my life that each one actually was the cause for me not continuing in the avenue, the three sisters traverse was the last time I had been mountaineering, RAAM was the last time I physically owned a bike and enjoyed it and the military pretty much ruined running for me.
I will stick to daily self challenges these days such as not shitting my pants and not choking to death on a ham sammich.

GFF I can kind of relate. I embraced living on the edge, and yes it was borderline insanity. I don't climb or mountaineer anymore and I only do easy bike rides. I would still do the harder stuff but at 67 my body just can't do it anymore. I am almost always in moderate pain in my joints. I make do with fishing from my kayak and wading the trout streams and the occasional easy back packing trip. Such is old age but I wouldn't want to do anything differently if I had a do over as I had one hell of a fun time getting here.
