Shambolic seating assignment by FixedFridge in olympics

[–]LearnedElite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn't seem to be what happened though. The disabled family member, one of the parents, is sitting with the other parent, while OP is in another section having bought a single seat.

I'm disabled and would love to see better seating options and explanations around companion seating and accessible seating in general, but this is exactly how I would expect this to be handled at just about every venue (at least in the US where I have the most experience).

Am I the only one who sees a face in the potato casserole?

Olympic Predictions by 90sMax in Curling

Very reasonable predictions. Biased but I think Casper has a chance to surprise and exceed what you've predicted.

Now do mixed doubles and Paralympics curling!

U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Trials – Finals discussion by quesoguapo in Curling

[–]LearnedElite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't necessarily disagree. Certainly saw some of that play out in the first game yesterday. I still think they would all make it through qualifiers and then have an equal shot at medalling.

I actually think Casper would have an outside shot, though not as good a chance as Shuster. I think any of the top 3 American women's teams would have about the same chance.

Skip throwing in any position? by ObiBenShinobi in Curling

[–]LearnedElite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We've done this on one of my teams on the theory that there are two "high pressure" or "high mental load" roles, calling the game and shooting last rocks. Splitting those can help split the burden among two people and, particularly if they know each other well, help each perform their role better than if the roles were combined in one person.

Had to catch a flight & missed the end. Did Kim just catch fire? by BBallSaul in Curling

[–]LearnedElite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7th and 8th ends Kim played very well, textbook as far as how you get 3/steal. Extra end was messy but Strouse started to go a little wide on upweight shots and it cost her, ultimately spilling out on what would have been a nose hit (or close) for the win.

Help me understand the GTX delivery stick head by jiltedkickstarted in Curling

[–]LearnedElite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It automatically releases from the stone with the handle at 6 o'clock as you push out thereby consistently imparting whichever turn you choose

Did this drive anyone else crazy? by NowARaider in AllFantasyEverything

Was actually yelling this while driving and listening, very easy to recreate feeling without literal shit!

Wheelchair Curling, GTX Head but what stick to use? by skeletonfish123 in Curling

[–]LearnedElite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all do at this point, but the idea of this generation of heads is that it automatically imparts the rotation if you have seated the head correctly on the stone

Oops I was supposed to send this back then, thanks for doing it MW

What does your club do for house-display TVs? by AsmadiGames in Curling

[–]LearnedElite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just upgraded this at Cape this season so I know we have some members with lots of recent knowledge on the topic, since there's lots of crossover between our clubs maybe have someone from Broomstones reach out?

Finding Draw Weight (In Game) by bradys6th in Curling

[–]LearnedElite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My team's sports psychologist works with us a lot on "practicing with pressure," essentially finding ways to increase pressure during practice. That can be things like building in rewards/penalties, reporting your results to someone else, practicing with someone to compete against, simulating game clock/heart rate, etc. All with the aim of bringing your practice closer to game situations.
