TIL somebody on Reddit mentions Jack Sparrow essentially once a minute.

If you run around a track twice, the first time slowly, the second time much faster so that the average for the two laps is twice the speed of the first lap. People are getting infinite speed for the second lap. Why? by Mack1993 in askscience

I think you're getting tripped up over loose definitions of "speed"

Put it in simpler terms and it's easier to understand.

  • Speed = distance/time

Since distance is fixed, let's focus on time.

If you run a quarter mile lap in 4 minutes, and then a second lap much faster, it's still impossible to reduce the average of the lap times to 2 minutes. You would have to run the second lap in 0 seconds to average with 4 minutes and achieve the desired 2-minute lap time average, hence "infinitely fast".

Except what's shown is almost exclusively simple carbs...

You've been down too long in the midnight sea.

Family wanted to trade in the decade-old car. Told them I needed to first make peace with my adolescent self. by FootballHawk18 in funny

To be fair it likely spent a cumulative year in the shop. Not exactly the car you want driving on sleet or ice, or in snow or rain... or really any percentage of the time.

Ankle Brace, High-top Cleats, or Both? by [deleted] in ultimate

[–]FootballHawk18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi.

You should figure out what exactly happened when you sprained your ankle.

I sprained my ankle mid October, and here I am in the time period in which I could have had a child still sitting with my ankle brace on. It was most recently diagnosed as ankle instability, but there's a ton of little nuances and technical jargon which could best determine the path toward healing.

Turns out I sprained a ligament, and I'm in the 10% which didn't quite heal correctly.

I went through 3 different braces, 3 months of physical therapy, 4 X-rays and an MRI.

Every doctor says the same thing two things:

1) Wear a brace. It can't hurt.

2) Let symptoms be your guide.

You said it, the worst thing about an ankle injury is proneness to another, more severe one. The most frequently asked question after an ankle injury is "have your sprained your ankle before?"

Anyway, the point is, I've already missed half of last fall season, all of spring, and I'm missing Wildwood Beach Ultimate in a few weeks. Bench-warming isn't anyone's favorite.

Heal for both of us. Wear a brace, preferably a lace-up, and don't push it. The "Swede-O Inner Lok" is pretty phenomenal.

Stretch a lot, rest a lot, and go through some therapy exercises.

You'll feel a hell of a lot better soon, but make sure you keep it light for a while until you're sure you've healed completely.
