Most marathon runners have a lower body fat than is considered medically healthy and their toe nails pop off during the race, so we are already 2/3 of the way there.

That set is inclusive of every official marathon ever ran, so no it is not a single sample. We see consistently that the women’s record always is slower than the men’s record.
Longer stride length also equals a heavier body weight to move. I’m sure there’s some sort of graph where the vertex represents the most efficient combination of those factors.
That is definitely impressive stamina. An Olympic marathoner can average 12mph for around 2 hours and an “average” marathoner does 8mph, but that is on a road or track. Savannah is one of the few terrains where you could approach those speeds. I would believe they could go 50 miles on a hunt. Trying to run far in sand or snow, through heavy vegetation, or up and down mountains drastically increases the energy it takes (and the max distance and speed you are capable of). That’s a whole other thing.
Right. Even with persistence hunting, I doubt our ancestors were going 50+ miles chasing prey.
How does it not? Running 26 miles takes endurance and running it fast takes even more endurance.
I absolutely agree with the thesis that both men and women hunted, but I think the claims of women’s superior endurance are not represented in reality. The fastest marathon time for men is 2 hours 1 minute and for women it is 2 hours 14 minutes. These were in 2023 and 2019 respectively, so it’s not like it was years ago with drastically different treatment of the sexes. Both runners were Kenyans too, so that limits non-sex based biological differences.
I don’t buy that it is socialization. For one thing, the difference disappears in sports like shooting and horseback riding where physicality is not the determining factor. On top of that, when children compete at sports there are negligible performance differences until after puberty. The article mentions the record a woman holds for swimming across the English Channel. I think that women’s higher body fat provides buoyancy that massively reduces the energy required to stay afloat for a prolonged time. We don’t see the same supposed superiority in other endurance events.
This link touches on many of the same topics as the main article and adds some more info.

Can you imagine a woman or a black man (let alone a black woman) running for president while being three-times divorced with kids from multiple partners and having cheated multiple times on top of that? Even if they were rich like Trump, it would never fly.
Or do the opposite. Voting enters you into a lottery where the prize is you never have to pay taxes again.
I remember one guy telling his story that he was raped by a pregnant woman. He didn’t want to hurt the baby so he couldn’t force her to stop.
Acetaminophen and caffeine are often included together in “extra strength” pain relievers as the caffeine enhances the effects of the acetaminophen. That part at least is perfectly fine. Half ibuprofen half acetaminophen plus caffeine works even better.
I’m not sure about school board because I don’t think we vote for those where I am. I know they reach out to candidates that don’t have easily found information and if the candidate doesn’t respond the organization says so. It’s really helpful for judges in particular because it lists all the ratings from various legal organizations.
I cannot recommend this organization highly enough. They provide nonpartisan information on candidates in every state for every election.
a giant underground storage tank
That’s basically what groundwater is already.
The trick isn’t storing it. The earth does that naturally. The trick is moving it where there isn’t enough.
Also in spite of what we learn on TV, matching a bullet to a gun is mostly junk science.
While I disagree with it, there is a valid argument that getting rid of the filibuster would become an absolute disaster once Republicans gain the majority.
The program provides funding for states to build charging stations. As of the beginning of the year, half of states hadn’t even begun to take bids from contractors. Not like Biden can control that.

100% agree with you then.
Y’all need to hear the fable of the boy who cried wolf.
There have been several people, men and women who run a marathon every day for months or even years on end. In that sense there is no upper limit, but those people almost certainly all have a genetic mutation which most people don’t that prevents lactic acid buildup.
