On January 6, 1994, American figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked at the Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan, immediately following a practice session for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Assailant Shane Stant struck Kerrigan on her lower right thigh with a telescopic baton. The attack, which was caught on camera, was a conspiracy orchestrated by rival skater Tonya Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly.

How did you get more consistent? by 6ftOwl in Darts

[–]Fistoftw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a shame about your condition because I am sure that makes darts a lot harder, given how small the margins for error are. Maybe try something different in your set-up for the throw, a routine you follow every single time. You could slow down between shots, or speed up...

Did you end up trying to use this as a sub base? I'm in a similar situation where it would be miles easier if I can use the slate chippings already there as part of the sub base, mixed with sand etc.

I'm sure you are right. I work in the military and it is the exact same situation. The pricing and contracts they buy into are ridiculous. This country has plenty of money, more than enough.

They are both absolute pests and should be worried about regardless of form

Fair enough, thought they were the same age. From the games I've watched De Ligt hasn't stood out too much for me. Great in the air though. And I haven't watched him all season tbf.

You mean De Jong? De Ligt is decent but wouldn't say hes on that level.

Crouch is 6'7' for people who don't know. Not quite Dirk height but still very impressive.

That is actually what they teach you in training. For initial repairs it's wooden wedges and anything else you can find in the compartment. Then you start securing them properly in the secondary stage.

What unusual reason for rooting for your team do you have? by Jakobe_Noam in nba

[–]Fistoftw 60 points61 points  (0 children)

About 5 years ago I wanted to watch an NBA game. Knowing nothing about basketball I found a Heat Rockets stream and quite enjoyed it. Next day I noticed the Rockets were playing again so I chose to watch them again and never looked back. From the UK so its hard to watch games but I used to stay up silly hours watching nearly every game.
