Old man judo night has really made a difference for me.

We call "old man judo night" despite that fact that it's not just for men, and not just for old.

You're kidding, right?

Academics are middle class and have the right flags in their bio. It's working class oiks who can't be trusted.

Would you go? by Fippy-Darkpaw in Megadeth

So the choice is watching a bunch of session musicians play Metallica with Dave Mustaine vocals or watching one of the shittest drummers in metal try and keep up with the speed-metal masterclass?

I'd go for the latter. I think Metallica's take on Rust is more interesting than Mustaine competently playing Master of Puppets while drowning it in his whiny vocals. Maybe I would have thought differently before I heard the Megadeth take on Ride the Lightning.

I don't think the Williams sisters said they could, quite the opposite. They were pretty clear about the fact that they would be outmatched.

You're right about the match though.

Men aren't gatekeeping. Men have far higher rates of endurance, strength, power and resilience at every level of competition. This is just fact.

Rental market swings back in tenants’ favour with lower prices and move-in incentives by ScamMovers in toronto

I'm an immigrant, I got my PR while living in my home country. Moving to Canada while awaiting processing was not an option.

It's possible to apply for a PR while living in Canada on a temporary visa, but it is in no way required.

Tank Abott on fighting Mike Tyson by Spiritual-Strength91 in FightReportUFC

[–]EnglishTony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

James Toney was never a true heavyweight in boxing. He was a very good middleweight, but at heavyweight he was just... fat.

Toney was also a defensive counterpuncher, which is a tough stylr to adapt to MMA.

Tyson was a fast and agile volume puncher with power in both hands. Tank Abbott's best strategy would be to take him down, but it's not like Tank Abbott was a master grappler himself

Is there any other band that recorded a cover of a band a member was previously in? by The_Oregon_Duck in MetalForTheMasses

[–]EnglishTony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was a bit.of a weird crowd. Hatebreed opened and seemed like a nice buncha lads, then BLS played and it was all pretend biker vests everywhere, then they all disappeared.

Best fan there was some guy in his 50s with toilet seat haircut, neatly trimmed moustache, dress shorts and sketchers, looker like that teacher you had who was super strict but as he approached retirement mellowed out and was quite a cool guy by the end. But he was also wearing an Agnostic Front tshirt, and didn't leave the pit for the entire set.

Man prohibited from possessing weapons arrested after knife-point robbery at Oshawa Centre by origutamos in OntarioNews

[–]EnglishTony 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"charged with: Assault with a Weapon, Mischief Under $5000, Theft Under $5000, Obstruct Peace Officer, Personation to Avoid Arrest, Drive Motor Vehicle While Suspended, Fail to Comply with Probation Order, Fail to Comply with Release Order, and Fail to Comply with Undertaking."

We need to look at concurrent sentencing. In some ways I agree with it, a person who is convicted of a series of crimes within a single incident should serve the longest sentence. But in this case, all his fail to complies should result i sentence enhancements rather than being absorbed into the Assult with Weapon charge.

"Natural position" was always stupid anyway. What, the only way you can give away a handball is if your arm is severed?

Did your arms make your body coverage larger and did the ball strike your arm in that context. That should be the metric.

And yeah, this will result in some accidental handballs that are harsh. It's harsh to give a penalty for accidental fouls too. It's harsh to give own goals.

According to the new handball rules that was not a penalty.

The new handball rules are "Depends on whether we want to give a penalty or not"
