  • The Humane Society has some suggestions for how to protect feral cat colonies from coyotes. Not sure if you've already tried all of these or if they would even work for your location, but it seems worth considering.

    A small North Carolina city’s bus service had such long wait times that it canceled it for van rides costing just $1.50 apiece

    HOW AMERICA GOT MEAN

  • This sounds absolutely fantastic. If I could have ridden a train from Boulder to C. Springs in college, I would have never needed a car. With the number of commuters that live outside of Denver and commute to it (or more rarely in the other direction) having this option should greatly relieve the number of vehicles on I25

  • It can depend on where you're located and how deep you get into the sport. For beginner classes, in my area, they are ~$100 for 6 weeks. It gets more expensive once you need your own gear and if you choose to compete and/or take private lessons.

    I think the most comparable comparison in costs are probably club hockey and club soccer.

    • Walking my dog - Better awareness of my neighborhood/getting to know my neighbors. Fresh air, sunshine, and time to work through my thoughts helps me stay clear headed. Cardio is good for you.
    • Fencing - both physically and mentally challenging. It is basically violently enforced meditation. Hella fun and is great stress relief. Cons - can be expensive and relatively few adults.
    • Reading fiction - I enjoy getting lost in other worlds. Helps to disconnect from the internet from time to time
    • Yoga - reduces random aches and pains from sitting all day at work/high impact activities. It just generally feels good afterwards.
    • Curling - team sport I do with my spouse. Throwing shit and drinking/eating afterwards is nice. Good community to socialize with.
    • Watching movies/tv/YouTube - Lots of great stuff out there. Easy to do too much of this one, especially youtube.
  • Most recently... empanadas.

    But there are so many foods i hadn't been exposed to but absolutely adore. We didn't have much "ethnic" foods as a kid, so there's been a lot I've tried as an adult and loved. Butter chicken has become a staple for me. Saag paneer. Pad see ew is another great one. Savory pies in former British colonies (I had a butter chicken pie at a takeaway in NZ that was incredible). The list goes on...

  • I spent so much time at our neighborhood pool as a kid. We would get dropped off by a parent and then they'd come pick us up either around dinner time or when a thunderstorm rolled in. Other days, we would go after dinner and stay until it got dark and the pool would close.

    I just looked it up, since my hometown had budget issues a few years ago, and it is now owned by the YMCA.

  • It sounds like a platform private companies can use to develop instantaneous peer-to-peer money transfer, as opposed to a true service run by the feds. Either way, the fact that it would allow someone to make a direct payment to another person's bank account anywhere would be a huge upgrade.

    Looks like the US is finally catching up to the rest of the world for transferring money

  • Doing ~20min of yoga every day I can, which works out to about 4-6 days a week. All my random aches and pains disappeared and my body feels way less stiff.

    If I skip a week or so, I definitely feel noticably worse than I do when I keep it up.

  • I thought movies were real and they just literally followed people around with a camera for the events in movies. Of course, animated movies were a little difficult to resolve with this logic. So, I just figured there was an alternate universe where everything was animated and that's where they came from.
