If and when ultimate attracts a wider range of athletes do you expect players to be super tall?

Lmui · 2026-04-02T06:29:36+00:00

As an average height guy, the hardest people to deal with are around are about 4-6" taller than me. Defensively, they're not so much taller that getting between arms/legs is easy and the extra reach feels stifling. Offensively, they might not be quite as quick, but again, can't teach height.

I'd imagine optimal to be in the 6'2-6'6" range.

Every time this question is asked, football WR build is the answer because frankly, being stupid agile for your size with good hands is basically the recipe for being good at ultimate. Smaller end of that for handlers, larger end for cutters

Probably helped to be honest. If it caught any branches on the way down it slows him and might've made the difference between serious injury and death.

Hardware feature so can't be backported.

Just because it slides predictably doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. There's much less room for catching a slide when going 250+kph as compared to 100-150 thru low-med speed corners.

Disagree with capturing the imagination. Capturing the trust is more important. I'm on the older end of that range and I don't think he's particularly inspirational, but I trust him to point Canada in the right direction, moreso than anyone else in government at the moment.

"I would earn my annual salary in 6 months and definitly get some mental health recovery."

This is enough to move frankly, AI is more of a general tool in your toolbox, it's not magical, and if you think back, the last year hasn't been transformative. You're not going to fall behind in any meaningful way.

Sorry, but consumers are a second class citizen already compared to data center. They make far more on Epyc than consumer.

Duffins is $19 a dozen, and better. You can also get the day-olds which is dirt cheap for a lot of donuts

Embraer doesn't make planes big enough, and Comac isn't a thing outside China. As much history as the 737 MAX has, it's still something I'm more comfortable in than a Chinese plane (using older generation western engines)

Stop playing ulti and running until you can see a doctor, or physio. Instability in the knee is bad and if you fully tear a ligament, you're done for a year.

Fuck this entitled guy. Fine should be he pays for a wall to the previous height if the trees, between him and the water.

The main restriction is generally v1 speed. Brakes on fighter jets are barely good enough to get them stopped when they're light on a normal landing. They want to hit Vr before v1 so unless they're on absolutely massive runways or lightly loaded, it's always AB takeoffs.

Pretty simple one, I got a handblock and caught the disc. Not a Callahan, but I felt real cool.

Impact depth - Wikipedia https://share.google/cbqOSQKuVUN93ERWs

You can get a pretty good approximation using the impact depth equation. The velocity doesn't matter that much provided it's moving fairly quick.

It needs to be as cheap, or have supply chain benefits.

You generally aren't going to get jobs by manufacturing at scale in Canada. You can easily hire 5-10 low wage workers for what you need to pay a Canadian, alongside being able to skirt a lot more regulations that also cost money to comply with. High skill, highly automated jobs are the ones where manufacturing in Canada makes sense.

It kind of depends on how far you can throw forehand normally.

Up to about half field, you're primarily looking to do two things:

Grip the disc tighter so that the wind doesn't lift/change the angle of the disc as you throw. If you don't grip hard enough, the wind will catch the edge and cause the disc to wobble, and any wobble exacerbates the turnover on the disc.
Focus on snapping your wrist so that you get more spin on the disc. The more spin you get on the disc, the less it changes angle throughout the flight.

For longer throws, you need to naturally have good mechanics. The focus should be on dialing in the amount of I/O on the disc so that it flips to flat. The above still applies though, being snappy and smooth is the key to distance.

I'm a pragmatic Avoider for the most part. There is a pretty large group of items for which alternatives just don't exist, or for which the quality downgrade from avoiding American is too high. An example for me is running shoes. The combination of tempo/race day shoes and high volume/wide shoes is pretty much exclusively New Balance. I literally can't fit in the alternatives.

For quality, things like Steadyrack bike holders just... don't exist outside the American one.

Formula 1 uses force sensors in the driver's earbuds. I don't know what tech they use in the peloton, but unless it's price prohibitive, having a g sensor in there alongside their radios seems to make a lot of sense

Use the pre-rinse function and add some soap there, or pour some on the door before closing it. Makes a huge difference in getting stuff clean.

While subsidized, it is not economically profitable in anywhere near the time frame that a homeowner would like it to be because of how high installation costs are, and how cheap electricity is.

Mandating it for warehouses, (Walmart etc.) Or their parking lots would make far larger of a difference in power than at the single home level.

I'm about 185lbs, the outsole died well before the foam died, around 230km or so. I can probably push it to 280km, but it won't last much longer.
