Electrolytes, magnesium, and adjusting your macros may help but if your intensity is too high for your current stamina levels you have to pay the piper while your body adjusts. The obvious thing to try is adjusting the intensity until you're happy with your energy levels afterwards, for example have a day where you go harder on your arms and go easier on the hike then the next day switch it around.

I would just recommend you take your time travelling on highway 101, it's such a beautiful piece of the country. If you can swing it, I'd recommend not cutting through Portland and going the long way down 101 before heading east through Salem. Tillamook is a nice little afternoon getaway if you're big fans of dairy products, Astoria is a cute cozy little city, and the area around Tillamook Bay is wonderful (if a little touristy).

I lament the continued decline in quality for modern media, particularly in writing and pacing. A part of me hopes studios start using AI so it either blows up in their faces and they start valuing quality again, or it creates so much slop some of them focus on quality to stand out.

One of the fascinating aspects of the show is the blurry line between what is meant to be a statement about the impact of technology on society, and what is an allegory for how society already operates. In interviews the show's creators often hint at most of it being the latter, and it makes sense.
This was the conclusion I came to when watching the show, because I found the sci-fi elements frustrating compared to similar media (most obviously Minority Report).

Give us your trolls, your bots, your huddled masses yearning to post freely, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
The games at least are much less kind to the revolutionary factions. The first drops hints that they're just terrorists and not even good at it, and the second straight up says/shows they're only marginally better than who they replaced.
Jackson being a commune isn't a thing in the games, though we never see a form of currency exchanged so maybe it technically is in the sense that any group working together for just the common good is.

Classic electric stoves look essentially the same as gas stoves but with a round electric resistance heating element on the ranges.
just being able to dial in values instead of worrying about wth "medium heat" means is a boon
Ugh, my induction stove is just old enough to still have the stupid old fashioned dials instead of being able to set exact temperatures and it frustrates me to no end. It runs way too hot so when anyone besides me cooks they constantly burn things, I wish I could find a way to limit the dials.

The cynic in me says the press isn't going too hard on him because he's a democrat donor, maybe not to protect him but who he donated to.

Not just boomers, a lot of people (maybe the majority) are shockingly bad at even bare minimum computer security.
extremely blue and generally gun-unfriendly state
Not quite an accurate picture, Dems were worried Oregon would become a purple state this election and brought all the big names out last month. There's large contingents of hardcore right and left wingers with most people falling in the middle based on geography, before 2016 things tended to default towards moderately libertarian at the state level and red/blue at the county level to reflect this. Before 114 Oregon had pretty permissive gun laws - will-issue CCW, no restrictions I can think of outside of FFL for all transfers, and very healthy hunting/gun cultures.
I've seen plenty of sheriffs and ACAB types in agreement against the may-issue permitting for the obvious reasons, tons of people against the magazine changes, and everyone informed on gun laws knew this was going to be shot down in the courts based on existing case law. Lots of people don't feel safe in the cities right now either and have become gun owners in the last few years too.
My guess is this only passed because of uninformed people who want to do anything about gun control.
I use my truck for daily driving and light to moderate hauling, keep it outside, and frequently have my dogs in the back. I wash the whole thing by hand when there's so much stuck on crap it starts to bother me. I clean the windows about once a month whenever bird poop, pollen, sap, etc. starts to hinder my view. Road salt is the only thing that motivates me to wash my truck more frequently because I consider that preventative maintenance, for that I run it through a car wash that gets the underbody. I do appreciate a beautifully kept car but I find giving it a deep cleaning 1-2 times a year while spot cleaning as needed is plenty.
