@drewmcmanus@hachyderm.io“Spending this time with me is important for his health and well-being, yes, but it’s just as important for mine. Studies have shown what many dog lovers likely already know — that canine companionship and dog walking can reduce stress, benefit health, lower medical costs and decrease depression and anxiety. It’s a gift we can give each other.”

@smurthys@hachyderm.ioSpotted a yellow-crowned night heron and a black rat snake on yesterday's neighborhood walk. (I think that's what they are, but open to being corrected.)
Saw them both within 100-150 ft of each other, on the 6th km of an otherwise uneventful 7.5km walk. 😀
Snake video 👇🏽 (none of my clients were able to attach both videos to this post).

@hikingdude@mastodon.socialWuhu! Didn't procrastinate too long and wrote the blog post from our walk on the 1st of May. Lot's of #spring, lots of green, an unexpected chapel, lots of #landscape ..
I'm just happy that my wife tolerates all the interruptions and pauses I ask for when I think I discovered a m…
@unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyzhealth/illness (mine) 6/n
And I think it genuinely _doesn't_ fit the PEM pattern, because in recent months what I mostly observe is
day 1 exercise, e.g. a walk long enough that I'm tired afterwards
day 2 still tired, don't wanna do anything
day 3 fine.
Or maybe day 3 still tired, day 4 fine. But I generally don't go _backwards_. I've definitely been "getting better" compared to say 6 months ago.
@catnip@mastodon.onlineI think that supermarket car parks should have separate SUV spaces and ban them from parking in normal spaces. They should be as far from the shop as possible to give their owners time to think about their life choices while they walk to the shop. Those people absolutely should be segregated.
@Defiance@sfba.socialWait. Magic isn't real? 😂
Seriously, did anyone really think this was some kind of AI or "disruptive tech"?
I've always suspected this was more Flinstones technology than modern innovation.
"Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped."
@thek3nger@mastodon.socialSometimes I read so much dumb shit on Mastodon that it makes me think that Twitter wasn't so bad.
Then I look at Twitter.
(and then I log out and go on a walk; that is better anyway)

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsWhenever I walk through some backwater towns, I'm surprised how many young people walk on the right side of the road. Do schools no longer teach pupils to walk on the left side?
At least I think I was taught that at school. We've also gotten the reasonable explanation: you're walking on the left side, because cars drive on the right side, so you see the cars driving on the same side of the road coming from the front, and you can jump away before they hit you. If you walk on the right side, you either have to look behind you all the time, or you won't even notice when a car drives into your arse.
Curious enough, much time later I've heard a myth. Apparently, soldiers traditionally walked on the right side of the road, but Napoleon Bonaparte sent his troops walking on the left side, to confuse the enemies who were listening to the foot traffic. In my opinion, that's absurd, but what do I know?

@twcau@mastodon.socialGood to see this victim blaming douch canoe on Reddit’s Perth community getting roasted for the dumbest of dumb opinions on #DomesticViolence and #Femicide.
@mamday@kolektiva.socialI think anyone who legitimately posts about left issues eventually accumulates a lot of online gossip. I cannot attest to whether other leftists are monsters who steal from minorities or not. I can attest that I have seen people walk back obvious lies about these people and then everyone keeps repeating the obvious lies anyway. I can attest that I myself am neither a right wing troll, business major, landlord, person who lives in the woods, or prostitute who sleeps with tech bros to get ahead. Those are just rumors I know about (for all I know there are even worse ones). If someone on the internet is telling you to hate one of the five remaining people actually trying to shine a light on fascism, I am begging you, please ignore it. We are not going to get ahead by targeting every leftist, only by building leftist politics. You don't have to support any particular leftist but spend your time building things and not fighting anyone you heard from a friend of a friend did something probably maybe
@smurthys@hachyderm.ioNews you *can* use: Chicago O'Hare has more Starbucks locations than any other U.S. airport. I think if you walk an hour any where air side at ORD, you'll pass by 4-6 stores. ☕
And apparently the Starbucks situation is the worst at SFO.

"Are you a motivational speaker?"
Hell yes! But not really.
That's the question I always get when meeting new people and the topic comes around to what each of us do for a living. The question quite possibly could drive me nuts, because I think "motivational speakers" like Tony Robbins and others who encourage people to walk across the fire t…
@hikingdude@mastodon.socialHi friends,
one more photo from our walk on wednesday. This one I was able to capture right when I turned around.
We just came down the path on the photo when I turned around and said to my wife "ohhh wait, think that could be a motive".
And so I started to try a couple of perspectives. I struggled with the path because I feared that it would lead the viewer too quickly out of the image.

@wraithe@mastodon.socialGenerally I wouldn’t waste any time on anything Donald “his lips are moving so he’s lying” Trump says or posts, but I think it’s cute that MT took a bit and ran someone down there to debunk the claim that Trump supporters are being chased away.
Seems like a nice day for a walk. https://www.threads.net/@mei…
