I don't care for the Political Compass Test; I think it's ideologically incoherent, and too many of the questions are facially silly. For example, the first statement:

I'm not sure how helpful those Wikipedia labels are, because there is so much overlap among the different "kinds" of libertarians. My view is that all forms of individual liberty -- whether they are...

The best thing you can do to train for it is just to run. You have a month to train. If you don't run much right now but can run 4 plus miles, run 3-4 times per week for at least 35-40 minutes. ...

I really recommend giving it a try. I'm much more of a runner than a swimmer, but once you start to get used to swimming it's very enjoyable. It energizes your body in a completely different way,...

Glad to see comments.

I'm not worried about choppy water because the swim leg will be in a fairly small lake, and conditions are nearly always sunny and warm with reasonably still air in early...

I'm definitely not an expert, but I've tried both dumbbell and barbell presses and it seems to me it's much easier to work the pecs with the barbell because with a barbell you don't have to pull the...

I'm glad to hear that. I've been reasonably thin but have had love handles since I was a kid. My hope is if I get my bodyfat percentage low enough I finally can get rid of them, or at least reduce...
