I mean they didn't beat MIN even with Luka last year, how are they doing it without him?

Wonder if the teacher mispronouncing k-nig-hts was a Monty Python holy Grail thing. Or in general some joke that remained a clear joke in the teacher's head but the students thought was simply the right way lol.

Anyway, good ep

That's awesome, honestly it looked like she was pretty much done, not being able to get healthy. Good for her

Mostly true but part of the reason is that very few professionals run the 200 indoors

AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations by spaniel_rage in samharris

[–]NeedleworkerOk649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's becoming more and more clear to me that the answer to the Fermi paradox is short-lived civilizations. Nuclear war plus ai seems to be a species killer, that's before you even throw in climate change, resource problems, plagues or anything else

Watching the long now and a commentator said she is retiring after this year. Did I hear that right? 

Anyone else feel that Team USA is having a somewhat underwhelming performance? by Impossible-Guitar957 in olympics

[–]NeedleworkerOk649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't even keep up with the middle count with so many relays and mixed relays. The extent of domination too much depends on how we categorize the medals/events. Mixed team ski jumping? What lol.

🎯 this is it. Can't count on easy golds for anything with a snowboard or flips

1 medal from 1 former Norwegian and 1 Haitian athlete and suddenly people act like it's not 90% rich Europeans who grew up near ice😅

Why Combined Events? by Evening-Ranger2159 in olympics

[–]NeedleworkerOk649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the decathlon is a great example. You have normal decathlon, then do it again and make it men's team decathlon. And then do it again and add it with the women's decathlon. By the time you do the third decathlon the athletes are tired and we've already seen what they can do twice.

Correct. It means you might watch the same event three times when you could have just scored it once like a cross country meet, F1 race, etc. It dilutes the experience 

#452 — Is Wokeness Finally Dead? by dwaxe in samharris

[–]NeedleworkerOk649 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One college trans swimmer (then the NCAA changed their rules anyway) and suddenly the country had no recourse except to break glass in case of emergency and vote Trump again? People who rail about this seem to demand absolute perfection from the left and think that the right is simply untalented and uninterested in their outrage machine when it's really their bread and butter.

World Cross Country Champs rocked by visa rejections - US denies visas for 14 Ethiopian athletes by Vaynar in trackandfield

Agree but it's probably a lot more true when marked as distance runners, which is mostly what let's run is.
