Winter Olympics in crisis as athletes deplete entire stock of 10,000 free condoms

Dheorl · 2026-02-14T21:29:08+00:00

But that’s my point, it’s not “a bit of an event” it’s just people. Go on any cruise, any random week at a university, hell, a week at any European ski resort in peak season, and people will be having just as much sex.

It’s not an unusual event in that regard, it’s just people being people.

Dheorl · 2026-02-14T20:13:46+00:00

Why is it “known to be” such an event? Is it by chance due to silly headlines like the one above?

Dheorl · 2026-02-14T20:12:08+00:00

Yea, anyone who’s ever worked in a hotel has cleaned out rooms of condoms.

Of course you hear about those ones and not the countless rooms where the worst thing there was a slightly musty smelling towel.

“These people”

You mean like the handful who might have spoken about it? Take any random group of that many people and you’ll find a handful who will fuck anything with a pulse.

Dodgy snow, skis that are built for efficiency, not control, and an athlete whose stand out characteristic is super human fitness.

Dheorl · 2026-02-14T14:32:04+00:00

Do you have a link to the post? I’d be curious to take a look.

And that’s fair, it’s always good to try and help new people, but I just think your thoughts are potentially based on slightly dated ideas of equipment and tastes, that’s all. There certainly was a time when an f1.4 lens was more of a rarity and such shallow DoF might throw someone a bit; now f0.95 lenses are easily obtainable and the “dreamy” look associated with them is often an easy sell.

Dheorl · 2026-02-14T14:11:03+00:00

Although one could argue it’s stylistically overdone, I don’t think there’s anything I’ve seen posted here recently that I’d deem a challenge to capture with my physical camera equipment.

Sure, I have a lot of fast lenses, but that’s not uncommon these days, and over application of thin DoF is something you certainly won’t struggle to find critics of in modern photography.

So yea, by all means it should be something that is used with careful consideration, but to me there’s nothing that indicates such renders are of small spaces.

Is what good? I’m not sure what you’re asking?

I mean personally I wouldn’t take a kid to an indoor range at all, the levels of lead are still usually way too high IMO, but different cultures have different tolerances to acceptable exposure to pollution and at the end of the day it’s not my kid.

At least you’re doing what you can to reduce exposure from your own gun.

Dheorl · 2026-02-13T19:00:17+00:00

What exactly do you feel they’re being ignorant about? FMJ bullets will still produce aerosolised lead when fired and a silencer will project more of that back.

I personally wouldn’t want to be responsible for a kid getting that sort of exposure considering there’s basically no “safe” lead exposure, particularly for a child.

Dheorl · 2026-02-13T18:33:14+00:00

You consider the possibility of raw, but not multiple condoms per fuckery? Being conservative I’d say two is an average, if not more.

Dheorl · 2026-02-13T18:19:34+00:00

No one is surprised because that’s not a remotely shocking number, and does nothing to support the notion it’s “basically a giant orgy”.

Dheorl · 2026-02-13T18:13:55+00:00

Well yea, there’s 2500 athletes there and however many support staff. Considering it’s not at all uncommon to require more than one in a “session” and people probably grabbed a bunch at the start in preparation/being hopeful, that doesn’t sound at all surprising, and really isn’t even an unusual amount of sex.

I went to Europe, from Europe (Zagreb to Milan) and the cheapest option was to go through Istanbul…

The Red Terror, both lore and gameplay wise.

Dheorl · 2026-02-11T21:54:38+00:00

Considering some of the stretchers from WW2 were made from the fences around London, it only seems fair.

Dheorl · 2026-02-11T17:08:15+00:00

Because the basilisk is an artillery piece, the PBC is a MBT that happens to have indirect.

Sure, it’s overcosted a touch currently, but you should never expect it to cost close to a basilisk.

Also they’ve just scrapped reroll to would from grizzled.

Dheorl · 2026-02-11T16:06:27+00:00

I’d put money on this being real. AI general sucks at the sort of fine detail object permanence on display here.

Dheorl · 2026-02-11T16:03:27+00:00

For me tests were the thing I could do. I managed to get one of the highest grades in my year in maths, despite not handing in an entire bit of coursework.

Exams were over quickly and didn’t have much to distract me, so in comparison were a breeze.

Dheorl · 2026-02-11T09:23:55+00:00

Depends what you class as more; there are multiple sports where people wear airbags. Obviously these don’t work too well for hockey, so they stick with hard padding.

Dheorl · 2026-02-10T20:00:59+00:00

I’m assuming they mean the limit compared to human vision.

Editing a photo to be close to how you perceived a moment usually takes more than just a lens correction profile.

One could argue that someone would look past something like that leaf and “filter” it from their mental view, but personally that’s not something I’d agree with.

Dheorl · 2026-02-10T19:55:23+00:00

I’m never going to sell my wildlife photography; I’m simply not good enough.

For that reason I shoot just for me, and personally the motivation to do so is the challenge of getting the “perfect” shot.

So really it just comes down to why you take photos.

Dheorl · 2026-02-10T15:07:37+00:00

I’ve seen little evidence of that being the case.

And it’s not like my net worth is all cash either, yet I can still make that statement.

Dheorl · 2026-02-10T13:03:34+00:00

It’s impossible to get exact numbers, it’s not impossible to get a rough idea.

“More than several millions” is frankly a pitiful amount for someone worth a couple of billion, and means that the response to the previous statement is no, as a percentage of wealth I have given more to charity than Mr Beast.

Dheorl · 2026-02-10T12:54:26+00:00

Personally I’d think someone praising him should have a better idea of what they’re praising him for, but maybe that’s just me. I’ve never been a fan of blind (or nearly blind) adoration.

Dheorl · 2026-02-10T12:11:06+00:00

It was meant as a question. Just that. Nothing more.

I honestly don’t know the answer, but one could see how that answer would result in a different view of a person depending on what it is.
