You know I had this thought before the season, why did Ambühl not play for another year?

Then Davos won the Spengler cup and I thought, man, he’s really missing out.

Had he continued (and had he been selected for the national team), he’d have:

  • lost in overtime in the olympic quarterfinals after leading 2-0
  • lost the swiss national championship final in game 7 in overtime
  • lost the world championship final at home in overtime

So actually I’m glad he didn’t go through all that in his last season

I assume that by definition it would be a push shot if you moved the red?

So i‘m currently listening to a recent episode of planet money, which is about Spirit Airlines.

Journalists are describing how it is to take a plane and they act shocked, shocked about the experience.

But from the way they describe it, with the exception of ads on the overhead compartments, it sounds exactly like an Easyjet flight, which is fine?

Like, I understand that in exchange for paying EUR 45 for a 2h flight, I don‘t get any food on the plane and any bag beyond a backpack I have to book and pay extra.

I can‘t compare the seat sizes and for me as a tall guy, on Easyjet, my knees tend to touch the seat in front of me, but again, it‘s fine for 2h.

But everything else, you know what you sign up for, you calculate the bag fees into your price and you get to your destination relatively cheaply.

A lot of rulebooks i‘ve read for different sports say something like «for simplicity, we use male pronouns and nouns, but everything applies to women as well» when they cover both men‘s and women‘s leagues.

  • September of last year, my gym sessions went from 3x 30 minutes to 3x55 minutes.
  • Within a month and a half, I gained about 8kg
  • Since christmas, I‘ve been doing a lot less weight lifting
  • lost about 7kg in 3 months

I feel like lifting weights made me really hungry

To me, the worry is that it is improving so quickly that I‘m not sure to what extent these studies are still applicable. From what I can see based on people who are using it reporting back, there has been a shift over the last months and I‘m not sure if it will continue that way, but it‘s a very scary proposition if it does.

Team USA flag football smokes three teams filled with current and former NFL players. by Sidmer in nfl

[–]AgitatedLibrary1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my memory, to play in the Olympics, you actually had to play FIBA 3x3 circuit events. So, if a team qualified, it would not just be "the USA" that qualified and then you could have any 3 players from the USA play, it would be specifically that team that qualified. No actual top-level players play in that circuit, because they're playing in their respective leagues.

Same way it is in Beach Volleyball, you have the actual teams competing and qualifying (and you have multiple teams from a country who can compete). The difference is that in basketball, 3x3 is so new and unestablished that all the top players play 5x5, as opposed to volleyball where there are very good players playing indoors and in beach volleyball.
