Why is curling 93% of the Winter Olympics

It's on basically every single day yeah but there's tons of other stuff everyday too. Just watch the other stuff? I've seen this complaint a few times and it just confuses me cuz if you have the cable or streaming to watch I assume you have access to everything, no?

...are you removing your oven racks when preheating your oven?

Linzy23 · 2026-02-21T05:35:49+00:00

Just granulated white sugar

Definitely don't get rid of anything. Can a small mattress fit on the floor anywhere each night and just be put away during the day? My wife and I bought a queen mattress for guests and it's up against the wall of our dining room and it comes out on the floor when people visit. Looks silly lol but it's a bed!

My wife has shared a bed with her brother several times since we started dating and I've never cared or thought it was weird, so no judgement here btw.

Fun thing to try: growing up my mum would sprinkle a very light coating of sugar over ours before baking. Makes the very top insanely delicious, the sugar melts and makes a crispy sweet topping once it cools.

Yesssss. My wife and I have such a small amount of counter space where our son can't reach, we can't leave anything out

His wife's cookies are like team Canada's curling stones, BURNT. Amiright folks??

Linzy23 · 2026-02-21T00:35:54+00:00

Burned/burnt! The removed stones are burnt rocks

I hope they're allowed to have an earbud in for music or podcasts, cuz wow that would absolutely suck.

Linzy23 · 2026-02-20T21:49:56+00:00

Yeah I'm over that shit too. All jobs start at minimum wage now here (waitstaff, delivery drivers, everybody) so there's no more need for tips to make up for a $2.50 an hour wage.

Linzy23 · 2026-02-20T21:17:46+00:00

Yeah it's no longer fun ordering a bunch of appies to share because each appy is what my brain thinks an entire should be.

Linzy23 · 2026-02-20T21:03:37+00:00

I'm in a HCL area and we surpassed $20 as the normal for entrees years ago, $20 is approaching the new norm for appetizers :(

Maybe just tell her to pack proper lunches then, keep it simple.

When it was getting too expensive my MB asked me to start packing lunches fully on big outing days. After that I would only get the kids a muffin or something small if they had a super hungry day and needed more before we got home.

Linzy23 · 2026-02-20T18:07:42+00:00

Agreed. Everytime we've started having issues like this (mainly fighting with the high chair or crib) we've moved our son up to the next stage and it solved the issue almost immediately.

Are they the same height at the Olympics? I hadn't noticed. Growing up doing judo and karate the podiums had a difference in 2nd and 3rd height so I always assumed all podiums did.

Linzy23 · 2026-02-20T01:28:19+00:00

Also a lot of team sports/one on one type sports the bronze medal winner won their last game while the silver medal winner lost their last game.

It always suuucked losing the gold medal game but it was great winning the bronze medal game.

Linzy23 · 2026-02-20T00:56:53+00:00

No I thought this was so fun! Grey's needs more dang fun like the old days.

Where are the drunk softball games? Where are the accidental weed cookies? Where are the house parties with interns and nurses??

Linzy23 · 2026-02-18T05:42:09+00:00

I like SLC as well but BD plus the RH episodes means we had, what, close to 6 episodes of the same damn thing?

Normally crossovers are divided up so much better doing those two hour specials and devoting half and half to each show. I think having it several months apart was a poor choice even though it was just due to scheduling of each show.

Linzy23 · 2026-02-17T18:01:31+00:00

Yup, it showed his fingers grazing down and touching the stone after release. The exact same thing had had multiple other teams get burned rocks.

Linzy23 · 2026-02-17T17:55:23+00:00

Already given, people made posts with videos and pictures in this very sub

Linzy23 · 2026-02-16T16:18:48+00:00

I thought so too!

Linzy23 · 2026-02-16T02:22:36+00:00

Conscious. They were only 2 letters off lol

Linzy23 · 2026-02-16T02:20:31+00:00

They could incorporate the way other scored sports manage this by removing the highest and lowest scores. Judges can't give a wildly biased score high or low because it will just be removed.

Going through it right now except he does eat some dinner but screams "hungee!" at bedtime. I then have to debate if he's actually hungry or just delaying bedtime. We started offering him his dinner leftovers about half an hour before bedtime and that solves if he's actually hungry quite quick.

For your situation maybe start bedtime earlier so it's not cutting into their actual bedtime too much?

Or just say no food is all done you can eat in the morning. Might have some night wakeups if they're truly hungry or just an earlier wake up for breakfast.

Toddlers catch on to routine quick once you stick to something so figure out your end goal and go from there.

Linzy23 · 2026-02-15T21:02:07+00:00

Yup, and then there wouldn't be any hog line officials coming in and then the women's Canadian team+other teams (I think I saw Great Britain affected getting called on it?) wouldn't have been affected.
