His time at PayPal he probably subtracted value while learning, and Thiel was more useful … but look at Elon now. He’s got the scars to prove he was in battles. His businesses are thriving making him the wealthiest person in the world.<br /> <br /> It is only natural that he’d want to own a media company (even a decentralized social media platform like Twitter, it’s just the sign of times). <br /> <br /> But make no mistakes about it, it’s not some charity for him. I don’t know what his goals are. It’s not like he’s buying CNN or Fox. He won’t have a team of idiots facing a camera and producing toxic verbal diarrhea to program the masses. <br /> <br /> I really wish he does buy Twitter, if only to see what he’ll change and do!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Do you have to go to the gym to train legs ? Can it be done with calistenics ? I dislike the TV plus Mirrors ambient of most gyms, and rather exercise in a park in nature. My legs are ok but I would prefer to haven them really strong. Any advice?</div>

I have been purely doing bodyweight here for years, focusing on functional fitness, being lean and mobility (so if you want to gain muscle mass I can&#039;t help) . I use these:<br /> - split lunges<br /> - squats / jump squats / cossack squats (+ barbell if you have and want) / pistol squats<br /> - lunges (bonus of you have barbells)<br /> - jump rope<br /> - calf raises<br /> - standups<br /> - burpees / burpees squat jump / burpees box jump</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">F*ck hand sanitizer. I am so sick of everyone dousing themselves in this every chance they have. What did everyone do three years ago? How ever did we survive?<br /> <br /> I started refusing it about a month ago, and this wild rash I have been fighting on the back of my hand has 100% cleared up, just as easy as that.<br /> <br /> Oh, and stop trying to slather my toddlers in it as well. They don&#039;t need it.<br /> <br /> Who knows what toxic brew lurks in your paste.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">My son caught Covid. The first day he was pretty down with a high fever; but from the next day on, he was almost back to normal. Kids! They have that awesome ability to heal.<br /> <br /> Yesterday, few days after he tested positive, I got up, not feeling well. I could immediately sense something is off. I have not done a test, but I suspect I am positive as well or at very least I am fighting something.<br /> <br /> So I look at my Garmin watch and see this:<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/attachments/screen-shot-2022-04-17-at-6-04-05-am-webp.43043/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/data/attachments/39/39669-0211a218fbbe5e1fbaa71704cfe98589.jpg?hash=Luv6mLt7h8" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screen Shot 2022-04-17 at 6.04.05 AM.png" title="Screen Shot 2022-04-17 at 6.04.05 AM.png" width="253" height="200" loading="lazy" /></a><br /> <br /> <br /> Ouch.<br /> <br /> I didn&#039;t have my watch on my wrist for the first half of the day.

I am on average above 80. It went down to 60 to now 24 - my lowest number ever.</div>
