I would say that my walking speed is a very insignificant fraction thereof.

I'm pretty light footed and therefore must be pretty healthy?

My mom and I have a weekly walk of about 8 km at an average tempo of 7 km/h (or slightly above, like 7.2 km).
Their neighbors describe us as "shooting past at high speed."

Keeping up a walking speed of more than 7 km/h most definitely is brisk walking!
I used to do that in my student days (my way of coping with deep frustrations was to do a 21 km walk in 3 hours), but if my mom had been with me, I guess the walk would have taken twice as long ...
Growing older, I have always insisted that for any distance that I can walk in less than half an hour, using the car is more a hassle than a transportation tool. Between half an hour and one hour walking distance: It depends. Finding a parking space downtown is such a hassle that I prefer to walk, even if it takes 45 minutes to the furthest parts of downtown. If parking is easy and I don't have to pass any toll station, I might use the car.
If walking distance exceeds one hour, nowadays I choose the car, in particular if I would also have to spend an hour walking home. Even though walking is good for my body, I am not willing to spend two hours on a round trip. I've got other things to do as well.
Nowadays, 'always walk' has been reduced to about 2.5 km, 'always drive' starts at about 5 km. I can't keep up a speed of 7 km/h for an entire hour. But friends still claim that they can recognize me from far away on my walking style, long before they see my face

The only reason I'm that fast is because I walk with my mom 
She's a life long walker/runner.
If I'm by myself I probably walk somewhere between 5 and 6 km/h, probably closer to 6 km/h.
I rarely walk, but I take the bike a lot.
Including to work, which is currently 14 km.
Although with 14 km (about 45 minutes, single trip) I tend to take the car more often (like every day for the past two weeks...  )
Before this, my office was 6 km away and I took my bike every single day, no exceptions.

I'm 72 and walk 3 times a week for about 1 Mile at a brisk pace. Not the speed of light, however.
I feel healthier and stronger than before I started exercising. It has also helped me to lose weight and avoid things like adult-onset diabetes.
If I had known of the benefits, I would have started a long time ago.
In my experience the article is correct. We all spend too much time sitting in a chair staring at a computer screen.

I'm 74 and walk at least 2-4 miles everyday! Not fast, but not slow, just a speed to enjoy the view. Keeps the back strong for gardening, fishing and poker.

I'm relying on the fact that we are all travelling through the space-time continuum at the speed of light, so I don't have to mess with this walking business.

A huge argument exists among health experts on this.
Currently, the two biggest camps are...
- HIIT "High Intensity Interval Training"
- LISS "Low Intensity Steady State"
Search for "HIIT or LISS ?" and you'll get hits by the hundreds
Both sides claim to have reams of science behind them.

I can't get USB-OTG on the ESP32-S3 to send MIDI. It registers the device as a USB device, and it shows up in MIDI input devices but no data gets sent over the wire.
I am super frustrated right now. I've been trying to get my MIDI off this chip for 3 whole days, using Bluetooth LE and now USB and I've got nothing to show for it. I'm burnt.
I worked hard on the actual MIDI engine behind it, and that works - I'm pretty sure - but it has been cut off from the world on account of not being able to communicate over USB or bluetooth.

I too admire the passion, but when zigging too long, zag.

Yep,
It's becoming harder to identify the truth these days. It's very important to teach people to do some basic fact checking.

A more useful video would be how to unbrainwash Boomers who totally believe the real 'fake news.' But that will never exist because it is seemingly impossible (from personal experience).

It's becoming harder all the time. News sources and even so-called fact-checkers have become increasingly politicized.
Part of the problem is the "Gell-Mann Amnesia" effect described by Michael Crichton:
Quote: You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward--reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page and forget what you know.

The right side says the left is using fake news.
The left side says the right side is using fake news.
The left hates the right.
The right hates the left.
Both sides hate the ones in the middle.

Had classes in high school and college (back during the cold war) on critical thinking processes, parsing propaganda, ads, sources, (i.e. motherhood, apple pie, right is wrong, etc.). something missing in schools today.
Wish I had kept my notes. It helps to process the news. Why I support wide open social media.
