I would love this for some of my finger joints beat up from decades of typing.
I would say mechanical keyboard (used ErgoDox for years, now I use a Lily58). Now I would say learn how to make AI type for you.

Big fan of my Dygma Defy and I've been using WisprFlow super heavily this last year, but the immediacy of typing is still hard to beat. But yeah, I hope the voice tools keep getting better, they've been a real life-saver so far and fortunately I'm a very fast talker.

>"Why not take up cycling?" I was a cycling maniac for some time. It fucks one up (knees, back, elbows) anyways. After 10 years of that I cut it down to occasional pleasure rides. Luckily all my pains had stopped after a couple of years.
isn't jogging more impactful to the knees than cycling? I've seen this over and over.

#104ATG exercises have helped me with my knee pain. Their exercises help to strengthen the cartilage and ligaments around the knee.

#105I have had fairly serious arthritis in my hips for close to a decade now. Cortizone shots directly into the joint have helped the worst of the flare-ups (limping on my way into the shot, having 0 pain walking out of it, lasting a year). 5+ years ago when I was looking for another injection, my PCP said "Well, time for a hip replacement." Now, for reasons I don't understand I think he was being way premature on that (…
Some anecdotal knowledge I can share on why they used to say wait as long as you can for a hip replacement: We were told this was because it used to be that they could only do the hip replacement surgery once, and the replacement joint would only last around 20 years max. So basically it had to be for the expected life span of the patient! But now this is no longer true. Well, in Australia at least with access to mod…
I recently got told something similar in Europe, and anecdotally anyone who’d had a hip replacement and waited on it regretted not doing it as soon as the doc told them.

#106Anecdote for any runners reading this: I'm a 75 year old runner. (Some young runners might say I run at a jogger's pace, I just tell them to keep off my lawn.) A couple decades ago, I stopped running on concrete or asphalt, and took up trail running, i.e. running on (mostly) dirt. It feels way easier than running on asphalt, much less on concrete. If you're skeptical that running on concrete or asphalt feels harder,…
Trail running is fun. But it’s probably not the surface but the technique change, that gets rid of the pain. I’m currently going through the process of shifting my running technique to where I push rather than pull myself forward and it’s a revelation. When your foot lands in front of your center of gravity, it necessarily brakes your forward movement. All that momentum has to go somewhere, eg get absorbed by your joints. Changing this makes you more efficient as well as reducing strain on the soft tissue.

Why not take up cycling?
I tried swapping running with cycling for a few months but honestly as somebody who spends a good portion of my time on my ass, often with suboptimal posture in front of a screen I hate the idea of exercising still sitting on my ass with bad posture.
The most important thing imo is to find a form of cardio you enjoy. It's not worth stressing over the differences between forms of cardio just find something you like and make it a part of your lifestyle.
Reagarding knee injuries, sure intense running with bad form is more likely to get you an overuse injury but those heal quickly, long term studies don't show increased knee/hip risk for runners.
Strength exercises are also very important for runners. Getting all the muscles arounf your hips, knees and ankles stronger significantly reduces the chance and severity of injuries and has a ton of other benefits.

I'd worry about sprained ankles on a false step or a slippery leaf-rock trap. Is there a technical approach to running in these conditions?
You can exercise your ankles so they are less likely to crumble if forced into an awkward position. Also look at where your feet land compared to each other: if one is almost ahead of the other (think camel stride), your foot is to the left (or right) of its hip and is thus naturally bent outwards. Having your foot land more squarely compared to how the body weight works, reduces the strain on the ankle. If the inside of your ankle/sock is always dirty after a run, this is why. Am currently going through the process of fixing this on myself.

Running absolutely impacts the knees, but the compression of meniscus for example is what circulates nutrients into it so some impact is necessary for healthy knees as well.

This sounds interesting. Would you be able to share more information about this style of running? I'm having a hard time imagining how this plays out in real life.
