There's a risk of considering oneself better than average and that aggregate statistics don't apply to you. Like most drivers consider them better drivers than average. I'd bet the same with gun owners or any other activity.

Curious if you have example of racist US visa/immigration policy? There's a lot deserved criticism of current system, but can't think of anything specifically racist.

That's sound awesome. What's the name of the island/camp? Writing from the Nickerson state park at Cape Cod which is also one of great parks with prestine lakes (and cheap for MA residents $20). Though cheapness makes it real

My experience is only with using skateboards for long distance, though similar should apply for scooters, but haven't tried. If I haven't rode both bicycle and skateboards for distance for a while, I'd have exact same thought

Overall it's questionable on muscle efficiency. The main problem with scooters/skateboards is that beginners don't learn using second leg (it feels unnatural and takes practice). Thus getting tired with pushing with one leg.

I think more people are familiar with riding bycicle and thus it maybe easier for them to go longer distance. But yeah scooter would be smaller and lighter,even electric powered ones. Longboard would be even lighter. It takes some practice

The main goal of this action is sound - cut off Russian economy from outside and it achieves it. There're undesirable side effects that you listed, but the main objective is still achieved. And we should keep prospective and direct the

why would USA be secret about supporting Ukraine? USA was one of the countries guaranteeing Ukraine's safety in exchange for nuclear weapons release. I would argue USA is not doing enough for what they signed up for.

I'm well aware of political situation in Ukraine. I took part in the protests of 2004 that led to "US-backed putsch", had nothing to do with USA. You're stripping Ukrainian people of any agency. Not everything is secretl

The statements you make don't pass basic sniff test. America training anti-russian militias in Kharhiv, would be like Russia training anti-american militas in Toronto. Did America trains some small % of overal ukrainian army - yes, can

Interesting that cycling 24h record 900km is less than 2x of skateboard record 313m/503km. From my amateur experience with both, would expect cycling to be 5x-10x of skateboarding. https://24hourultraskate.com/#records

Employing a few citizens/green card holders, doesn't mean it's not about money - it just to satisfy regulations, so you can keep getting h1b's approved. Most of outsourcing companies now moved to having small offices in
