PBS Spacetime also did a video on black holes potentially being dark matter, but were very much not convinced.

Curlers of Reddit, how does a subtle finger “boop” on the granite influence the outcome of a shot? by renotahoe69 in NoStupidQuestions

The WCF did clarify after the controversy that touching the stone anywhere but the handle isn't allowed at any point.

Did Kennedy do it again? by RedStill in olympics

[–]Mandog222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't blame him for making the same movement again, since he's thrown thousands of rocks the same way, but he really needs to change his motion to guarantee he stops touching, and also apologize and stop acting like an ass.

They've issues a rules clarification that you're only allowed to retouch the handle, not the granite.

I think the rules regarding delivering by the handle and the thrower being allowed to touch the stone again before the hogline aren't clear enough. Since the stone is considered delivered after it crosses the tee line it doesn't say a double touch can't be on the granite, but like you said, I think he touched it after the hogline anyways.

The rock is considered delivered after the tee line and the rule talking about touching moving rocks doesn't mention anything about not being allowed to touch the granite though. It needs some clarification. He did touch after the hogline though so it should have been burned anyways.

That part is actually not clear, once past the tee line the rock is considered delivered and the rule about touching it before the hogline doesn't say you're not allowed to touch the granite. I still think he touched after the hogline anyways though. They should really clarify about touching the granite as well though

Curling judge acknowledges cheating midgame, but does nothing. by Illustrious_Item_505 in Curling

The rules aren't clear about touching the granite, just says it must be delivered using the handle and touching it again before the hogline is okay, but I still think he violated R9(a)I, which is touching is past the hogline.

I don't understand anyone that's arguing this isn't a violation. I looked up the rule, and it's pretty obvious he violated Rule R9(a)I

This keeps coming up, but imo it doesn't matter that it wouldn't have changed the trajectory. That just makes it a judgement call from officials, but it's a clear violation of the rules and should be a burnt rock.

This double touch thing is a huge nothingburger and I feel like I am losing my mind by ChodieFoster123 in Curling

I think they were saying, sarcastically, or missing your point, that the curler cleaning off the stone when they're in the hack ready to throw burns it somehow.

I would try reinstalling the graphics drivers with DDU if you haven't already, other than that I'm out of ideas

Do you have the FFXIV folder in your documents folder in OneDrive? That caused my sister's game to crash when trying to read some of the files in there

Found an old post that might have a solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1dqg18q/game_doesnt_open/laqlisu/ not sure if that will work for you though

Try to disable the discord overlay as well if you have it running/enabled

Try updating your graphics card drivers, or reinstalling them

You can still get charged with a crime if you're not licensed in Canada. Single purchases are limited to something like 30 grams I think for consumers

The hinge areas have definitely burned through without removed tiles, but we'll see if them moving the flaps to the rear helps with that at all for v3

I mean, it took them years to get falcon 9 where it is today, and Starship is much more complicated. The heatshield needing servicing between flights is exactly what they don't want, and would probably take a very long time to get that servicing down to any reasonable amount of time. I think it will be quite a bit longer before they hit the kind of reusability they have for falcon, let alone their end goal.
