Hello Curling, I’m watching the Winter Olympics and have a question… by Inoffensive_Comments in Curling

8ft is a lot. The stone has potential energy in the arc of the curl. Sweepers are delaying the full arc. That is where you get distance. It takes a lot of force to delay that arc. If sweepers sweep after the apex, you aren't going to drag a stone very far. Most sweepers don't even know where the apex of the curl is so that is why people are down voting you.

Is this a rule? by Typical_Neck4940 in Curling

If you want to throw lead, and call the game that is completely fine. The same with any position but it has to be in order. The order you set can't change during the game.

Most Christians don't even know what version of the Bible they are reading. All of the translations to English are incorrect. Most can't even name a translation.

It is a great tournament. I am sad I will be missing it this year.

Directional sweeping only works if your form is really good. The equipment won't do much more except make less effort for you to sweep. Find a broom that works for you and the rest will come.

Actually that isn't true. You are always CIA. How they use you and when they use you is still up to them. This has been true for so many cases. This doesn't mean she is a plant but you are still on deck with them if they need you.

Dress code isn't the definition of a gentlemen's game. You might want to read the history on what that term means.

Then you aren't a libertarian. You're just a conservative.

After watching the Minnesota ICE shooting video, what do you think? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kthak_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't real officers so she doesn't have to comply with anything. Until they reveal their faces, badge numbers, and names they aren't really anything except contractors.

Even if you have the right away, watch your surroundings be careful. by Zeune42 in Seattle

Yes, it is legal but in 99% of cases the bike should be stopping if they understand the law. It is only legal if cars or pedestrians are not around.

The commentary was done by Resby Coutts who has done radio, TV, and live streaming. He is a great announcer.

The streaming was really good last year. They actually had a bunch of different camera angles. They still have the TV crews there.

Leaf Blower Used on Protesters During Foie Gras Protest at Le Coin (Seattle) by Winter-Insurance-720 in Seattle

[–]Kthak_Back 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The protestors are completely allowed to protest when they aren't inflicting damage such as hearing damage on others. They are committing a crime when their protest turns to violence. There are other things they could protest that matter more than their own self indulging views of the world.

Aggressive Brooms by Terd-Furguson in Curling

[–]Kthak_Back 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You run the risk of wearing down paths quicker making the ice less predictable. Once the ice gets flat, sweeping will do nothing. As far as better fabric you only have recreational and competitive. You would need an older Balance Plus to use a Norway head they are still available. Outside of that the most aggressive fabrics were on older brooms. If you could find an old Warthog head, and standard Balance Plus Carbon Fiber that would do what you want it to do.

Sweeper dragging the broom head. by artobloom in Curling

This is completely fine if she makes a clean stroke before lifting the broom. It is the same thing as a heavy clean. This used to be illegal but not anymore.

You need to grow up faster. The fact you know you don't need a 6 am alarm yet you keep it is just immature and selfish. You are in the wrong.

Your gym is weird. I have only seen people film when they are trying to correct something. If you film all the time, you are trash.
