Raising your leg is hip flexion.

Also this device seems to help in both directions: (from their specs page, maybe an awkward translation)

Oh, shoot, you're right. Thanks for the correction.

If that's the case, then this model must assist in hip flexion and extension -- helping you raise one leg as it gently pushes back on the other to drive you forward.

It would certainly lower the metabolic cost of walking, but I'm not sure of the magnitude of the effect.

META: Why are this guy's posts insta-dead? Is this because he registered and started "spamming" immediately (responding in this discussion)?

Might be an algo thing, might be a trigger happy "enhanced" user that doesn't like green accounts.

FWiW the comments look fine to me and I've just [vouch]'d each and every one .. if some one else or two does the same they should come back.

I appreciate it! I saw that was happening so I stopped replying. Long time listener, first time caller

Did something happen to the UK?

Brexit

I was unaware that Brexit included leaving the continent.

In my case it's Kagi and Fastmail. Fastmail primarily because I don't want to support Google and Kagi because it's genuinely better than the alternatives.

Same here. Both products are actually better than the ad-supported versions. Fastmail masked-addresses are great.

I had to double check this was really posted on whitehouse.gov.

I'm really sad about this. I'm ok with the use of clear and even fully colloquial language by officials, but find myself mourning this total loss of decorum. I grew up believing that our officials should strive to be role models. I feel that by shirking this expectation, the current administration is eroding a central pillar of government as a concept.

> I grew up believing that our officials should strive to be role models.

They are striving to be role models, and they are role models for their followers, and this is clearly visible in changea in social interactions...

> Our leaders (at least in the US) haven't been real role models for probably centuries...

Even when I disagreed with some of what he did (and didn't do), I absolutely can't recall a single time that I didn't admire the manner in which Obama spoke and behaved.

I always rolled my eyes a bit about the decorum calls when anybody would get a little rowdy. I don't know, I seem to find a little bit of profanity and pointed name calling an entirely different thing than an all out assault on truth and reason.

The point of decorum is is that a devolution of language tends to result in an escalation of aggression which frequently ends in physical violence.

You generally don’t hear someone screaming “with all due respect I must disagree” before shooting someone.

Does make me wonder about the 18th and early 19th C, where the written language was very polite and formal but people regularly had duels and killed each other. But perhaps spoken language at the time was far less polite? What did Hamilton and Burr shout at each other in Weehawken, I wonder.

A formal duel following a set of rules is quite different than violently assaulting someone in a fit of rage.

President hector dwayne mountain dew camacho strikes again.

While President Camacho is shown in a more theatrical light, what this character actually does on screen is

* find an expert who has apparently superior knowledge about a widespread problem afflicting his people

* immediately seek guidance from that expert and conscript him into solving that problem

* apply that guidance by directing resources to test the theory experimentally

* begin to hold that expert accountable when their experiment fails to follow that expert's predictions

* Stop seeking accountability and reverse course when it does produce results (despite this process being very public), and offer the expert the job of fixing more things.

Could you ask for more? Do you think the current democratic discourse is above or below this level?

Or non-democratic discourse for that matter. How did we deal with Lysenko's theories on crop yields?

Cool, good luck!

Good luck!

I'm very happy with Cloudflare Tunnel on the free tier. Setting it up didn't feel that complex, you just install a client app, link it to your account/domain and then go through their equivalent of setting up nginx, i.e. assign hostnames to ports, and you can even do that through the web interface.

Yes, Cloudflare has tons of functionality you probably won't need and their dashboards can be several layers deep, but just setting up the tunnel with HTTPS and some basic security takes one evening at most.

What are you talking about?

In this case it really is just you. I can tell a high-refresh-rate display from across the room. I can tell if someone’s iPhone is a Pro even if the person is sitting five meters away from me on a moving bus.

On the other hand, my MacBook has a 120 Hz display and both my iPad Mini and iPhone Mini are 60 Hz, and even though the difference is night and day, I don’t really MIND using them. It’s just not that cool.

I have a Late 2013 MBP still going strong. Original battery, original charger, no repairs whatsoever, hours of battery life still. Wife stopped using it just two months ago when I upgraded her to my M1 Air.
