Running. AFAIK the most efficient way to burn calories. Doctor put me on the scale a few months ago and I was like "ohhhhh. Yeah that makes a lot of sense". So I've been running, trying to do 3x 10+km runs a week.

Going on a fast one tonight - going to try and beat my last pace. When I'm going for it I've been hitting around 4:50/km but I'm trying to get it closer to 4:30/km.

(Also, I stopped all treats except stove-cooked popcorn.)

Anyways I'm already down a belt loop!

The Big Mac index is a pretty good indicator of purchasing power. Despite this Big Macs were not $0.50 in 1980, they were closer to $1.75. Still a significant change. Also, the price of a Big Mac changes between states, ranging from $3.75 to $6.39 in 2022.. If you follow that last link and use the minimum wages given to do some division they're really not as different as presented, which is interesting.

Income inequality in Russia over the period of the USSR (hexbear.net)

My first time trying cross-posting, hope I did this right

I shared this deep in a dunk thread earlier and figured there's probably many comrades who haven't seen this data. I think it's very good rhetorically because a lot of libs have an incredibly vibes-based impression that the Soviet Union was just an Animal Farm old-boss-same-as-the-new-boss situation.

Instead, this demonstrates that Russia underwent one of the most dramatic inversions of income inequality of any country in recorded history.

For comparison here is the US over the same time period:

China:
