I consider a staff of investigative reporters a good sign, and local outlets are often a good source for plain facts on the ground. For example, the...

Go get it Dustin. Good stuff. I am at my best in a workweek where I’m not traveling and I can run 1-2 miles after the school bus comes then mix...

Honestly the only reason I can even do that is because I'm constantly lifting my daughter, either playing or helping her into the truck or setting...

I'm not there yet. I'm doing my get-ups with an 8kg kettlebell. There's a lot to potentially get wrong in that move - I'm impressed you can do with...

- This is a nice article. I’ve lost track as to whether or not it’s already linked in my thread. ...

Simple & Sinister was put together by this Russian guy (there's a book, and it's pretty inexpensive) and it is a program/routine that is three moves...

I picked up some kettlebells a few weeks ago to add to my home gym (a bench and some dumbbells - haha). I've been working on something called the...

We subscribe to the NYT, WSJ, and Star Tribune. We give to Minnesota Public Radio. I also regularly follow the Chronicle of Higher Ed and the...

I have been using the multiports tips for a while and I was thinking if anyone has compared how small is the heating area of a recessed oxypropane...

Fun thread. Well, not fun, but, you know.... To those working on reducing/quitting booze - good luck! I didn't grow up around alcohol and wasn't...

The Beeb’s website has a bit too much clickbait and tabloid for my liking. The broadcast formats (e.g. World Service) is a lot better. Used to be...

My local paper (and their website, syracuse.com) is typically my first news source. They often have national and international news stories published...

Try C-Span Book TV, for the opposite of silo, the POV Randomizer. The local NPR station is doing good local reporting, since the only in town...

Opinion editorials are not news. If you are looking for news there, you are making a mistake. NYT, WashPo, Guardian, ProPublica, 538, New Yorker,...

The BBC have been in decline for some years, with some having difficulties stringing together a sentence, but the last few years have been...

I agree with this. If you examine the 'hard' news in the mainstream newspapers (FT, WSJ, NYT, WAPO) the report is usually straight forward. When...

I subscribe to Apple News. I can select from among as many newspapers and magazines as I could ever seriously deal with. For my daily news feed...

This chart is oriented around an imaginary “center”, which I think is a fallacy. Those x and y axes are certainly not linear. Saab2000, I think...

I've recently decided to aggressively cut back on my salt / sodium intake. (my BP's fine, but I think it would still be a good idea) One of the...

I'm not sure if these are necessarily the "best," but they work for me: NYT (paid) & BBC (free) web sites. The free part of the Le Monde web...

Good thoughts. I want to like the NYT. It’s got tons of good content. Identity as a “this”:or “that” is far too simple. Critical thinking is...

Been mostly dry since I started this thread and feeling pretty good. Solid habits are gaining traction/habit. After trying many of the varied NA...

I pay for the Washington Post, NY Times, and FT and read them all daily. Of the three, I’m thinking of letting my WaPo sub expire, even though it’s...

Was in a new rental Audi Q3 this past weekend into this week in LA. Yuck. Way too much nanny tech in there and that 2.0T is just not enough grunt for...

I read the print edition of my local newspaper, daily. The subscription includes the on-line version but I never use it. NPR. My local...

"Don't pick one out of the barrel, go to the tree" -- James Bond as an old beat cop I was taught by news directors to go to the sources of the...

What I’m seeking is source devoid of blatant bias and partisanship. Just good reporting and analysis. I remember listening to NPR for years in the...

BBC, NPR, and Fox Business. When I have time to sit down and read news stories, Early Bird. https://www.defensenews.com/ebb/

I pay for Milwaukee JS Online, WaPo, and The Guardian. Solely for news and OpEd Local: Milwaukee JS Online. Next to useless other than local...

Fillet knives are intended for abuse - you often have to give them a few licks between fish and sometime every fish if you are doing things like...

I have one of those electric sharpeners too. It works great but I brought it to work to keep the knives there sharp because they get a lot of abuse....
