About a year. It's awesome. Hardest thing I've ever done. It is good motivation to do all the other stuff.
I never thought about it before but that XKCD comic is pretty stupid. it pokes fun at an extremely specific and unlikely scenario where good encryption is useless. Yes sure, but the other 99% of the time it's very good to have.
I've done 100 pushups a day since the end of January. I added planks and leg lifts for core to that. I also do 30 minutes of cardio daily and Jiu-Jitsu twice a week. And of course the dog gets two walks a day.

The heros are journalists, painting anyone who's critical of the profession (which has gone to shit in recent years) in a negative to light.

The president, who is evidently portrayed as fascist (i.e. right-wing), disbands the FBI, which is absurd considering the FBI is nothing but a fascist, militarized, national police force and most certainly would be a valuable weapon in the hands of fascist dictator. But the message is that if you want the FBI disbanded you're a fascist, which is pure statist propaganda.
I've been using it for a couple weeks. So far I love it and plan to continue being a paying customer. Thanks!
