  • I agree. I don’t really see any problem with her performing the play.

    BUT, I’m not sure the library should be forced to let her use the space (or be assessed civil penalties). So, I don’t think she should sue or that the suit should go her way.

    I could be convinced if the library is supposed to be providing performing space to the public and the library is controlled/funded by the government. Then, I think she might have free speech protections, especially after they had done some scheduling. Asking her to change the characters definitely seems like content policing, not mere “time and manner” control.






  • When I started it was more of a walk (2.0 mph; 30 minutes), but it still wore me out.

    Now, I do a 7min mile on Wednesdays, try to get my 5k @ 2% incline down to 28 minutes on Satruday (did ~32 minutes yesterday), and try to get a 10k in under the “club limit” of 1hr on the treadmill on Sunday (did 6.15 mi. in 1:02:00 [2 minute cooldown] today).

    It’s the best way to get my recommended weekly cardio I’ve found.









  • Based on the simulations I’ve seen, yeah. I’m sure there were plenty of panic in the sub and during the anaphylaxis, but I believe once the sub failed, there was less than a second between in first physical sensation to the complete disorganization of the nervous system, rendering the sub death quite painless. With anaphlaxis, even a sudden, sever attack, there will be several minutes of (at least) muscle strain as your diaphragm desperately tries to pull in more oxygen, and also general pain as your tissues squeeze against one another as they expand and nerve cells die.

    I can and have accepted death; I’m too old to believe radical life extension will save me. But, many deaths are incredibly painful. If I have a choice on how to go out, inert gas asphyxiation seems best, but some sort of rapid disorganization isn’t too bad. Anaphylactic shock seems worse.
