On June 17, 2021, the McCloskeys pleaded guilty to misdemeanor offenses, with Mark being charged with fourth-degree assault and Patricia being charged with second-degree harassment.[7]

Mark averred that, with all other charges dropped, he had, indeed, "instilled fear" in the mob, as charged, and that he will do the same thing 'again, and again, and again.'

Doing ordinary work and household/property maintenance suffices to stay in decent shape. You city slickers have a tougher time of it, always cooped up like you are and usually working behind a desk.

Always amazes me that the Zulu impis could travel the distances and speeds they did--and barefoot in rough country and scrubland. They were bona-fide "foot cavalry." To this day their conditioning remains something of a military legend.

Now that I live on some acreage I find this to be somewhat true. I still do activities to stay in shape. I play hockey once a week, pickleball when I can. Swim, Bike and run get mixed in. More and more I'm liking running.

Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Not saying it's as good as or a substitute for real bodybuilding/training--just good enough for someone like me who isn't a hobbyist and where "good enough" really is good enough. I'll mow the yard with the push mower instead of the rider when the weather's decent (not a small yard--it's a tough job doing it like that), I prefer using the bow saw over a gas chainsaw, I split with the axe instead of a power splitter, stuff like that. I wear 38's now instead of 36's like I did twenty years ago, that's a decent holding action against middle age spread. I wore 34's when I was in high school but that was too much of a stick, 6 foot 3 doesn't look good like that and I can lift a hell of a lot heavier stuff than I could when I was that age. I can still carry my wife around the house which is testament to both of us staying in decent trim. Main thing is I can't drink pop nonstop anymore like I could when I was a teenager, mostly drink water these days. Probably also helps that the fast food restaurants around here are utterly wretched....I barely ever eat out. I liked McD's plenty when I was younger but it's just not the same anymore.

Why are you guys talking about running now? Running sucks.

At my largest I was wearing 34's...now I'm in 32's and that feels great.

It's still politics though.

The pro-running saints vs the anti-running bigots.

Sounds like the pro-running agenda ruining democracy again

Running on someone has a good meaning in certain dialectizations.

Yea, any physical labor is still considered a form of exercise to me. That can be up to thousands of extra calories burned in a day

No matter how much someone is older, I’ll be their age one day. I hope. That’s something I’ve been thinking about more and more lately, longevity

I worry about my heart when I push it, especially as someone who’s had both the vaxx and covid…which in no case will make your heart better. At best it’s the same, at worst, it’s much worse

Yea I like hearing about those kind of phenoms too. It can all be explained though, but I lack the complete knowledge of how. If you have conditioned your muscles to be the slow-twitch kind, and also very strong for that type, they can become incredibly efficient. To the point where it seems they can almost go indefinitely

I want to build my own log cabin in the woods, like this absolute chad.

Good exercise, healthy for the mind, and no politics.
