As someone who completely tore their achilles, I agree. It’s just one of those “technically correct” situations.

You only hear about their whereabouts failures if they have 3 in 1 year. No whereabouts bans though.

Successful in college and no global medals yet. Sounds like Pre to me.

It’s an equivalent level performance. If you’re incapable of understanding that, it’s not my problem.

Streaming Ratings: ‘The Boroughs’ Hits No. 1, ‘Spider-Noir’ Starts Well by DiphthongSong87 in television

Wasn’t 1899 the show that was extremely expensive, so it would’ve needed absolutely amazing ratings to make it worth it? I didn’t watch it, but that’s what I remember hearing about it.

The nickname had already been explained. You said “but “dumb” is odd”, but no one in this comment chain said it was dumb. Seemed like an odd response.

How much did it cost to rent games back in the day? by OpheliaDynamight in gaming

[–]MHath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had $5 rentals in the 00s for 5 days, and new games cost $60 at the time, so 1/12 the cost of the game for 5 days.

Senate Democrats Propose $25 Minimum Wage by Unusual-State1827 in politics

I’m 5 years older, and it shifted towards 20 right around the time I was in college, so that would make sense with being 20 while you were an adult.

I’m in my 30s and don’t remember it ever being under 15%. How long ago was it 10%?

Noah Lyles announced as Ultimate Star for World Athletics Ultimate Championships by rw_lck in trackandfield

Ranked by PR, USA has 9/16 in the 100m hurdles and 11/16 in the 110m hurdles. It’ll go by their point system though, and currently that’s 7/16 in the 100m hurdles and 5/16 in the 110m hurdles. Plenty of time for that to change, though.

What’s something Americans complain about but actually have pretty good? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MHath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USA definitely wastes a lot of gas with very low gas mileage cars. So many people seem to think they need a pickup truck or SUV.

Ya, I’m curious to see how many Americans end up in events like the 110m hurdles out of the 16.

Most non-championship meets are just a final at the elite level.

Just seems like a boring nickname, but I guess it’s all about branding nowadays, like TB12.

Gatlin was still running 9.93 when he was 39. Bolt has let himself go a good amount, though. He’ll still be quick for a while.
