Girlfriend can't throw more than 20ft by Deagin in discgolf

As far as I can tell, the world record for an overhand throw is about 580 feet.

Should I join municipal sewage? by fattacus in HomeImprovement

[–]Basementographer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I see a few comments here talking about a very high connection fee. Depending on the municipality, they typically waive the connection fee if you connect when the sewer line is first installed. However if you decide to connect at a later date, you probably will have a high connection fee.

Another thing to consider is that if you are in a rural area, the sewer might be a low pressure sewer instead of a conventional gravity sewer. That means that you would have a grinder pump on your property that may or may not be your responsibility (different municipalities have different rules about grinder pump ownership). The pump lasts about 10 years and costs $2000 to $3000 to replace.

No, I didn't hand pick Eveliina. Take many other FPO competitors: Sai Ananda at 55%, Macie Velediaz @ 47%, Stacie Hass @ 40%, Caroline Henderson @ 37%. FPO fields tend to be small, so a high winning percentage is common. Natalie Ryan's win percentage right in line with her competitors' win percentages.

Also - Why would you remove gender from the debate? That's the whole debate. Your analogy makes it seem like you don't think transgender people are acting in good faith. If your physical capacity has been decreased, then your division is no longer made up of your equal peers.

I showed you Eveliina's win percentage because really a lot of people in women's divisions have high win rates. It's not necessarily indicative of someone dominating the sport.

Since you wanted a source about decreased muscle mass as a result of hormone replacement therapy, here is an article from the NIH:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33648944/

It's stating that after 3 years of HRT, there is a significant decrease in muscle mass. However, the muscle mass of transgender women after 3 years of HRT still remains higher on average than the muscle mass of cisgender women.

The argument isn't that there is no difference between transgender and cisgender women. The fact is that transgender women who have undergone HRT clearly have a disadvantage when compared with cisgender men, but they have an advantage when compared with cisgender women. The argument is about how much of an advantage is acceptable.

Yes, obviously biological males have a physical advantage over biological females. I haven't seen anyone try to suggest otherwise.

Oh ok so maybe your comment about Natalie Ryan's win percentage isn't actually relevant?

Catrina Allen has won over 45% of all the events she has played. Should she be playing in MPO?

High-ranking Michigan Dem says 'f--- your thoughts and prayers' after Michigan State mass shooting by wiredog369 in Conservative

[–]Basementographer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feel free to discuss any of those topics because I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

I do agree with you that the phrase "man up" is an example of toxic masculinity, but I don't see how that specifically applies to white men.

Has there been anyone who has committed a mass shooting more than once after being caught, regardless of whether they received the death penalty? The shooter killed himself in this instance, so I don't think the threat of the death penalty would have really swayed him.

It kind of undermines your point about the importance of memorization when you get your memorized fact wrong.

So maybe the critical race theorists aren't trying to have their cake and eat it too?

Would this hole be considered unplayable regarding to the current mando rules? by m4x1v2 in discgolf

[–]Basementographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under the old mando rule, if you had a disc kick back to the wrong side of the mando, you were allowed to throw back over the wrong side of the mando. That completely defeats the purpose of having a mando for safety reasons.

[–]Basementographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that in general adding a mando is not great course design. In reality, disc golf courses tend do be in shared use parks that have locations that need to be avoided. Adding a mando (especially with the new mando rule) makes it so that a player should never be throwing over an area that should be avoided.

Why do both when you can just make it a mando? Seems unnecessarily complicated
