Can't read the article without making an account but the first paragraph is a real zinger.
>Young men are staggering around, hungry for days. They are throwing themselves into ice baths and cryotherapy pods. There are not enough beds at the silent vegan meditation centers to accommodate them. They need more near-infrared bulbs.
Reading this comment before the article I thought this was describing some near future dystopia, but it's actually things he does and prescribes, albeit with some hyperbole (I fast, and 'staggering around, hungry for days' ain't it). He gets points for being interesting I suppose.
> “It’s such a strange service — who wants to be in the cold? You need to hear about it from someone you trust,” said Michael Garrett, the head of Reboot, a spa that offers cryotherapy around the Bay Area. (Cryotherapy is when you make yourself get cold.)
> The NYT paywall is far more porous than the WSJ one (you might just need to browse incognito)
They started doing something recently that occasionally throws up a popover in incognito mode, so that might not help. I haven't bothered to look into how it works, but clearing cookies or disabling JavaScript still seems to reliably get around the paywall.
I really should subscribe, though, since they do a lot of good reporting, and it would be great if more online publications became less dependent upon ads.
I can read it just fine, without an account. Maybe it's because I have JavaScript disabled (via NoScript)? If so, someone else's comment here that the paywall is porous is quite true.
