people who lived under USSR really didn’t like it for the most part

So then why do some 60% of Russians regret the dissolution of the USSR? Why do 70% of Moldovans regret it? 50% of Belarusians? 66% of Armenians? 70% of Kyrgyz? 70% of Azerbaijanis?

This is why we need to teach people calculus. At the very minimum - derivatives.

Best part of the American Revolution? in c/politicalcompassmemes@lemmy.world

Holy fucking shit why are so many online self-proclaimed history buffs completely unaware of the myriad of critical characterizations of the American Revolution that don't involve takes that sound like second-grade, red state, public school dialogs from a teacher who's spent the entire last week watching repeats of Hamilton?

"Fighting the monarchy! Fighting unjust taxes!". Get real. It was all about real estate, slavery, and genocide. Washington wanted everyone to have the freedom to sell the teeth of their enslaved.

"Revolution" is a funny way of describing bourgeois infighting between white landowners that ultimately culminated with the wholesale genocide of Native Americans.

National Park Service Will Cite AWD Drivers for Driving on 4WD-Only Trails in c/hackernews@lemmy.smeargle.fans

The Kia Seltos and the Kia Telluride are both AWD vehicles that offer diff locks.

Why confuse the hell out of everyone with the AWD vs 4WD distinction when it really all comes down to having a diff lock? I feel like it'd be much easier to communicate and enforce a "diff lock only" rule.

sustained elevated heartbeat is what gets you into shape. Aim for long slow runs over erratic runs with walking mixed in.
if you are doing this as a lifestyle thing, I commend you. If you are an early riser, 5am runs are the way to go. However, find a running schedule that is sustainable. If you find yourself struggling to keep at the morning runs, adjust your schedule into one that allows you to be routine.

Best of luck
