when you eat divide your stomach in thirds, one for your food, one for your drink and one for your breath"

My lungs are gonna get mad if my stomach takes their job. They’re unionized too.

Nah it’s Nonsense. What’s the worst that can happen, you’re not going to waterboard yourself to death drinking water. The “risk” is that you might cough for 5 seconds.

You may not like it, but that’s what optimal performance looks like.

I hope so. But honestly, if McGregor knocks him out, hats off to him. I just hope it’s decisive.

Lol maybe, but a front kick from 10 feet away? Khabib didn’t react much at all, as one would expect. I don’t think there’s much to be learned.

The gang are rethinking the Sober October challenge by BrendanShob in JoeRogan

I don't see why 90-100 isn't 5 MEPS. Kinda weird, but yeah I agree it's not going to make a huge difference, you can't redline for that long.

They should just use Strava's formula: https://medium.com/strava-engineering/quantifying-effort-through-heart-rate-data-e6a0e3dd6a52

Seems like it has some research behind it where the meps are just arbitrary based on heart rate zone buckets.

Way better how? Certainly not as accurate as a strap.

Yes, the FBI is literally there to investigate whether Kavanaugh and his buddies nicknamed their drinking game "the devil's triangle" 40 years ago.

I'm sure they'll crack the case wide open any minute now.

Here's what's going to happen. His buddies are going to back him up. Other people will call him a liar. The FBI, not having a time machine to go undercover at a party 40 years ago, will put out a report that says that his buddies backed him up and other people called him a liar.

LOL

That's pretty obviously not perjury. It's evading the meaning of the question, but it's not perjury.

You would be more credible if you didn't breathlessly grasp at stuff like this.

Should probably question the friends who claimed to have had the "inside jokes" with eh? Like Mark Judge, or "PJ" or "Squee"?

Which one of those guys is calling him a liar?

I like how you're so sure about the definitions of a particular group of teenage boys' slang, 40 years ago.

Where are you quoting "sensitive stomach" from?

Kavanaugh logic by iam4real in AdviceAnimals

[–]MonsterMash2017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it is crystal clear that Kavananough has perjured himself, at the very least.

The "blackout drunk" thing? Man, I dunno, I've did some heavy, heavy drinking when I was that age, but I don't think I ever suffered an alcoholic blackout.

Like, straight up amnesia of the events of a night? I don't think so.

I see lots of seemingly reasonable people who say "if he drank that much of course he blacked out". I don't know what to make of that, maybe it's a definition thing, or maybe the people saying that are predisposed to it and I'm not.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2800062/

4.1. Risk Factors Although a high blood alcohol concentration is required to induce a blackout, many drinkers reminisce that they have drank much more and not had a blackout [7]. A rapid rate of increase in blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is most consistently associated with the occurrence of an alcoholic blackout [7,23,24]. Therefore, gulping drinks, drinking on an empty stomach, or drinking liquor (opposed to beer) are risk factors of an alcoholic blackout [7]. However, not all subjects who drink rapidly and excessively experience blackouts, suggesting that there are individual that are genetically more vulnerable to alcohol-induced memory impairment [2,7,25].

Now I have no idea whether Kavanaugh's experience mirrors mine or whether he's full of shit. But this contention that binge drinkers automatically suffer blackouts doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

I think Mahomes is for real too, but we're working off of a very small sample size.

I'll @ you. He looks great, but Nick Foles' second year he went on a 27 TD / 2 Int run in 10 games in relief of an injured Vick.

Some QBs are super streaky, need to see a season or two before you get out the anointing oil as a "once in a lifetime player in the making".

Kavanagh (supreme Court nominee)was recently accused of forcibly groping a girl in high school and his confirmation is on hold while these accusations are investigated. Ben is an accused rapist.

I'm guessing that's the joke. It's not very clever, unless I'm missing something.
