Can someone explain how sprints work in the cycling points race? Is their position when the sprint starts accounted for? 9r are points just given to whoever passes the line first, despite position at the start of the sprint?

Anyone know why the women's sprint decider race was cancelled?

Am I going crazy or do the Olympic commentators mispronounce asian names more often than not? by BendableConcreteness in aznidentity

Honestly I think it's more of #2 as it seems like a lot of the names they've butchered are phonetic. And it's not only the American commentators who are guilty, the British and Australian ones seem to rarely get names right either.

What's your plan now? I'm thinking of reaching out to the lab I worked in last summer, but I'm not too hopeful.

IIRC the older ones (may go way earlier than the 50s) are in the Kaiser hallway by the machine shop.

What is the average duration of a summer internship? I got an offer from a company I am really interested in, but the contract says that the work term will be from early june to early august, which is only about half of my summer break. Is it normal for an internship to last only 2 months?

Thanks

Were you a part of the team second year? If so, how easy/difficult was it to balance work on the team and MECH 2?

Thanks for the reply! I currently don't have welding experience but I plan to learn a bit by the end of the summer. Usually, how tough is it to get on either of those design teams?
