Maybe the wealth is really debt.  Maybe it's because rich countries can afford birth control.  Maybe only .5% are really rich while the rest are starving.

Though nowhere close to the average CS majoring slashdot commenter, lions could imagine the desire to have an heir increasing as wealth increases, otherwise throwing it all away becomes a bigger threat than not having it. 

 Marrying down was the kiss of death.  It seems a lot more women attained higher status than men & they wanted nothing to do with marrying down, even though a lot less were in the labor force.  They would rather be alone than marry down.

 

 

 

So it's really not 1986 anymore.

For guys who love the attention economy, there's the $200 engagement quota package.

Lions surmized the maker faire has been supplanted by opensauce & it's now focused purely on edutainment tubers instead of random hobbyists.  Lions can't imagine who scrolls through the mindless, monotonous, vapid, click bait drivel of their recommendation feed & jumps on burning $200 to see the same gootube stars in a live panel.

At least after another exodus phase involving Austin, the center of the everything boom has once again reverted to the bay area.  The current boom is the most forced though.  No-one wanted to move back, this time.

A hair faster on this one, manely by only eating 3 glucoses & eating while running.  Helas, got behind on glucose & cramped after mile 22 again.  The last glucose was at mile 24, but it still cramped at mile 25. It seemed to still be behind.  Every glucose led to a brief burst of speed.

Hydration seemed to be dialed in.  Was taking 1 water bottle at the drinking fountains & filling a 2nd for between drinking fountains.  Had 4 refills.  Urinated normally.  Starting temperature was in the high 70's & ending temperature was in the high 60's.

The general idea with the glucose is to pack 3 Gu's & get the equivalent of a 4th Gu from aid station gels.  The next experiment should be slowing down the ingestion & taking them while running.  Don't know how the lion once finished fast on only 3 Gu's.  It's possible that a continuous feeding of water, electrolyte & glucose could keep a lion going.

Decided to begin retiring it & ran the old battery to death at mile 17.5.  It had 5285mAh.  Ran the headlights the whole time.

Had baked cheezits & 12oz of rice krispy treats before the run.  That worked pretty well.  The mane bowel movements were from malto meal, 24 hours earlier.

So Elaine Stypula keeled over after only 6 miles in the hardrock 100.  The cause of death is never released, since there's no longer any engagement revenue in it by that time. 

The goog showed she was a divorce laywer, so there might have been some fowl play or karma involved. 

The strav will probably be taken down to be monetized.  6.6 miles is nothing but she did climb 3000ft in that distance & was over 20min/mi for most of it. Heartrate was in the 120's by the end.

There was a drop in heartrate at mile 5.5 then a pick up right before the end.  She might have known the wheels were falling off.

The internet got caught up in the idea she was running.  She only ran 1 mile at most, then was hiking for 5 miles. It was equivalent to a low intensity climbing of Mt. Diablo, something millions of animals do. Someone who can't do that has bigger problems than ultrarunning.

Diet, elevation are always outside their normal routine on race day.  Animals might take imodium A-D to avoid bowel movements.  The biggest problem might be gaining 3000ft.  The start was 9000ft & the end was 12000ft.  Altitude sickness probably got her.
