Does anyone know if the 15 hours is 15 hours of listening or 15 hours of audiobooks? In other words, if you listen at 2x speed, do you get 7.5 hours of listening or 30 hours of audiobooks?
Most jobs will give you a performance review and a raise every year to account for inflation and any increased duties you’ve taken on. We increase minimum wage by massive amounts after far too many years which causes all sorts of economic concerns, business complaints, and just a bunch of arguments everywhere. Shouldn’t they...
20+ years of martial arts experience here and there’s some terrible advice in here. Any martial art that doesn’t have an active competition scene is garbage in terms of self defense. This includes krav maga, aikido, most types of kung fu (except sanda and shuai jiou). I spent half of those 20 years doing aikido and hapkido, and they were largely useless.
In the competitive martial arts, wrestling, judo, Brazilian Jiujitsu, Muay Thai, and boxing are the gold standards. Most MMA is a combination of those four and definitely the most effective. I don’t like getting punched in the face so I stick with jiujitsu (brown belt). Karate is hit or miss, but some styles like kyokushin are really good.
I’ve been talking about self defense effectiveness. If you just want to get in shape, then pretty much anything that makes you sweat is going to work for that. Just don’t do krav expecting to be a killer, no matter how much camo your instructor wears.
Over the objections of its three liberal justices, the Supreme Court on Monday denied a petition from a prisoner confined for years without the chance to exercise outside his cell.
I don’t know anything about this guy, but I’m not sure what alternatives there are to solitary in some cases. When an inmate is so violent that they can’t be around other people without hurting them, what do you do? I’ve encountered a handful of inmates like that.
I’ve been in a lot of prison segregation units around the US and that’s not what I’ve seen. They have beds and they can talk to people in adjacent cells. They have beds unless they’re disassembling them to hurt themselves or others. The only times I’ve seen people truly isolated, it’s because they’re the ones screaming and aggravating the other inmates on the unit, and sometimes throwing shit and piss at them. They absolutely have lights turned off unless they’re on suicide watch and can’t be left in the dark without harming themselves.
I’m not defending it, I just don’t know what the solution is. Whenever I hear people proposing eliminating solitary confinement, I’m like “ok what then?”. The ones who are seriously mentally ill should be in hospitals, but they’d be segregated there too. The ones who aren’t, I have no idea.
Edit: I should add, I haven’t seen people put in those conditions just for punishment, but that probably wouldn’t be a part of a regular tour. If that happens, it definitely needs to stop.
I’ve toured prisons in many states and spent years in my state’s prisons genius. I’ve sat in disciplinary hearings in other states too, so I’ve seen the reasons why people were sent to seg. How much time have you spent in prisons?

Many will tell you that, but the research is pretty clear that it’s more effective than string floss. There have been a few studies and they’ve all been consistent.
Hi guys! For the past… ever, I’ve been putting my health and fitness aside. I tried a few times to get into the habit of exercising to no avail. I’m not overweight or anything but neither am I strong or flexible as I want to be. Mainly because I don’t want to have health troubles later in life. HOWEVER, to get started I...
I do something I enjoy 4 days a week, Brazilian Jiujitsu. I augment it with something I don’t - strength training once a week for half an hour. One warm up set of 12 reps and one working set of 5-8 reps to complete failure. I use machines to avoid injury from failure. 5 exercises- leg press, chest press, row, lat pulldown and overhead press. It’s a pretty intense workout. My goal is to keep the muscle I have and prevent injury in jiujitsu. I feel like I get like 40% of the weight training benefit for like 20% of the work that I’ve put in before with barbell training (strong lifts, 5/3/1, madcow, etc).
If so what kind of training they would have to go through ? By training I mean the spatial and situational awareness, combat skills (this is kinda unrealistic), enough knowledge to turn any situation to their advantage etc....
I’m loving the OnePlus open. I wasn’t interested in the fold or z fold. Thinner, lighter, better outer screen, very little crease, and best OnePlus camera yet (not as good as the pixel 7 or 8 though). They really did it right.

Shouldn't minimum wage just increase proportionately to inflation?
