I can watch/listen to true crimes shows all day long and am seldom bothered by the details. What I am bothered by is the advertising during the shows for helping neglected and abused animals.
Yeah, the podcast ads can be messed up. I remember listening to some podcast when there was an ad for a bidet that installs into the toilet, and the guy in the ad said "Your asshole will taste better". I was so offended by that that I stopped listening to that podcast for several months.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Pretty much all of them except for the ones where people have gone missing and still haven't been found. I like the story to have an ending. I know way too much about serial killers and forensics. Sometimes I get frustrated when they explain things like Luminol. There was a Murder Comes to Town from a few years ago and they said the police chief's name...I joked that I know a Tom Mulder from back in the day. Turns out it was that Tom Mulder. His younger brother and I were classmates. An Evil Lives Here Episode happened in town we lived in when we were in SC. I used to sit with the wife of the murderer when our boys were in martial arts classes. I remember the crime but learned a lot more about it when that aired. I am pretty fond of Kenda though. Any of the shows he's on are all right with me.
Bought a stationary bike that was delivered Tuesday evening. It's actually a portable one that you can put under your desk for your legs or on a table to work your arms. With my health issues and weight loss I have lost a lot of muscle mass and stamina. I put it together yesterday and did a short 15 minute 'ride' with it on low to medium resistance. Well, it did something. My calves are certainly feeling it a bit today as are my quads. There's tiny little twinge in my hips but nothing too bad.
Apparently I needed this more than I realized but had to get to the point where I thought I could use it and not just pass the hell out. I am excited to see if I can build my legs back up a bit. After a week or so I plan to do legs every other day and arms the days in between.
I started walking, on my doctor's advice. He told me 15 minutes/day, 3 MPH. I'm now doing two, 2-mile trips each day at better than 4 mph, with 15 minutes of cooldown after each. Getting diagnosed pre-diabetic, coupled with kicking the cigarette addiction some years back, has been the best thing to happen to me in at least a decade. I've lost nearly seventy pounds, got my wind back, and I haven't felt this good since my early thirties, back when my kids were keeping me active. Best of all, I'm no longer even pre-diabetic.
