mikegillman··on What Happens to Your Body on a Thru-Hike
Not realistic for many people who live far from rural areas.
mikegillman··on Is the NYPD About to Start Ticketing More Cyclists Due to a Mathematical Error?
So why bother to fabricate reasoning behind their actions?
mikegillman··on Traffic Signal Timing Manual: Chapter 4 – Traffic Signal Design
The word 'bicycle' is mentioned only two times. 'bicyclists' once, 'bike' none. Why are we officially overlooking a fantastic and common form of transport?
mikegillman··on Show HN: Does Facebook know your friends better than you do?
Yes, I'm sure a lot of work went into that graph, but it makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.
mikegillman··on Ask HN: 16-hour work week jobs?
Interesting. If the staff thought they would have to work through those 12 weeks of vacation anyway... or that it would be impractical to actually take 3 months vacation (or every Friday off), they probably wouldn't risk taking the salary cut. In our society the money feels more valuable than the time.
mikegillman··on A free cookbook for people living on $4/day
Thank you for this. It is very helpful to think of all the combinations I can make cheaply or quickly, with only a few ingredients. Reminds me that we don't need to go overboard to make something tasty.
mikegillman··on My low-paying, early-morning, exertion-requiring job
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea during college, while I was my fittest. Running every day, lifting weights, etc. I felt great, besides the fact that I couldn't get myself out of bed.

I still haven't started using a CPAP machine, as I have developed other coping methods (sleeping on one side helps dramatically). I have considered doing another sleep study though, to get some more information and start with a CPAP machine for backup.

Yeah, that's not going to work very well.
