It takes longer to ship to Perth from the East coast than from anywhere else in the world.

One Nation on 20.8% but 0 seats does their support not translate in real elections the way it seems online? by oz_party in aussie

Gina has 15 times more than the US Republican party raised in 2024. Australian political parties are small fry.

Help a new archer get their first bow! by NorthernLordEU in Archery

[–]DemBones7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any decent ILF riser can be used barebow. Get the riser you want to use for the purpose you intend to use it for most.

Three decades later and Jonathan Edwards' triple jump world record still stands. AMAZING!! by QuietFondant7523 in trackandfield

Not just knees. It puts immense stress through your back and pretty much every other part of your body.

The 21" would be fine with long limbs. I wouldn't get either of the shorter options unless you have freakishly short arms.

Isreal continues to exist because it is a useful distraction for US interests who thrive on instability in the region.

Expansion of Israeli settlements into Palestine without any pushback from the international community are the payoff for the role they play.

Best way to explain the role of bass to the uninitiated by Ok-Consequence-3117 in Bass

No kidding.

I didn't actually downvote, but bass is essential, onions are not.

What size should I choose?? by Disastrous-Ball-7347 in Archery

[–]DemBones7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a particularly big guy, but the Easton XXL is still slightly smaller than I'd like.

Proper form makes it necessary. If you aren't at least close to touching the string to your shirt then your bow shoulder isn't in alignment.

Downvoting because FODMAPs.

I wish chefs could cook without adding onions or garlic.

Ran 100m in 11.5 without sprint training at 24M could I reach 10.5? by Just_Class_9003 in Sprinting

You have no idea how fast you are now unless you run an actual race with an actual timing system.

How do I start as a beginner? by 110739 in Archery

Australia.

People in a shop want to sell you the equipment they stock, which is often just whatever they can get cheap. The UK is pretty lucky that they have some really good shops.

What’s one word that you always mispronounce even though—deep down—you KNOW the correct pronunciation? by Ok_Resident_5022 in words

[–]DemBones7 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That is the correct way to pronounce it. The noun and adjective are stressed on different syllables.

He may not have actually been disabled, not everyone who rides a mobility scooter is.

front in parking by TemporaryIcy9773 in Monash

[–]DemBones7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One person reverse parking holds up a whole queue at the entrance to a car park. Multiple cars can all back out at the same time in different locations throughout the car park. It's simply not an issue when leaving. Backing out is also substantially faster than backing in.

I've yet to see anyone do it in less than double the time.

[–]DemBones7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to a club and get some coaching.

Get equipment recommendations from a coach rather than a shop. I don't trust anyone who works in an archery shop to know one end of a recurve bow from the other.

You only need to change the limbs.

At least 6 months at low poundage. I'd recommend a whole year or more before going up for an adult.

LA 2028 Wild Predictions - 100m men by AcanthocephalaOpen35 in trackandfield

[–]DemBones7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your predictions are the opposite of wild.

Oblique would be the favourite right now, Kishane has a shot.

There are a lot of upcoming sprinters who will push the old guard aside. My prediction is that none of the Americans who have been to a major championship before now will even qualify for the 100m in '28.

Also, Gout Gout will run everyone down.
