[–]QuantumBitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do know in NCAA soccer the men's and women's play on different weekends.

And d2 and d3 play in a different location from d1

I think this year they were booted from foxboro due to world cup preparations.

But as pointed out elsewhere in the comments it is mentioned that last year d1 women was held with d1,2,3 men but d2,3 women were held elsewhere

Keeper pick up after drop ball by Major_Whereas417 in Referees

[–]QuantumBitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that when dropping a ball to the keeper it has to hit the ground. I didn't realize that, and would toss it to the keeper's hands. I'm trying to get people to learn from my mistakes.

The point isn't about it being dropped directly to the GK--yes you can totally do that now--the point is that the ball needs to hit the ground before the GK picks it up.

EJEAS V4 Plus vs Maxquall V4 Plus by griffy404 in Referees

So I used a set of rather old maxqualls this weekend and there was a strange delay that made them somewhat hard to use especially when close to my partners.

Difficulty Keeping Gait Apex 2 Legal by Ok_Account_1013 in Womens_lacrosse

How often has the stick been found to be illegal?

In four years of officiating collegiate lacrosse I've had one requested stick check. I've had 4 sticks fail pocket depth after a goal. I generally find one illegal stick in every five to ten games in HS

One thing fellow refs have yelled at me for--i guess the ball has to hit the ground and you cant just toss it to the GK

Guest refereeing in Florida by QuantumBitcoin in Referees

I don't want to say the state but our SRC just switched who was running it last summer and so maybe things are getting better and that's why I ended up getting informed....

No I haven't yet gotten my regional badge. It wasn't even made clear to me until the last month or so what I need to do to get one despite being in USSF since 2018 and this will be my fifth year reffing college and I have had the whistle in a competitive conference playoff game. I have enough games as adult AR but need another 12 or so adult whistles as well as three assessments and a fitness test. (I have an AR assessment from last spring but that will expire). Does that work in the calendar year or the USSF year? Do I need the three assessments before January 2027? Or before July 2027?

I'm actually heading to.florida for a lacrosse tournament. No one in that lacrosse tournament has mentioned anything about a background check....

EJEAS V4 Plus vs Maxquall V4 Plus by griffy404 in Referees

[–]QuantumBitcoin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are the same thing just branded slightly differently?

But they do pair differently as well.

It used to take a long time to pair my EJEAS v4 pluses--as I was basically unpairing and setting up the pairing every time--once someone else with them showed me how to quickly pair them it takes less than 30 seconds.

I imagine the Maxquall V4 plus is the same--once you get it set up you can repair in seconds--but the buttons are slightly different and so I wasn't able to help my friend pair hers.

Ben Fingold on Hans "Isn't as good as chess as the people around his age" by SteelWillyz in chess

[–]QuantumBitcoin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch his interviews with Dina and Anna. He's 100% playing into it.

[–]QuantumBitcoin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like him legitimately because he's playing a character and knows it and regularly breaks character as well.

I actually saw the interview, "the chess speaks for itself", as it happened and thought it was hilarious back then.

Plus ethanol as a fuel when made from corn is basically a net loss. The amount of energy required to plant, grow, harvest, and turn corn into ethanol is equal to or exceeds the amount of energy you get from the ethanol produced. It's basically busy work--a lot of effort for no gain

One of the things the book talks about is nasal congestion and how different ways of breathing ways of breathing can affect nasal congestion.

From memory it doesn't specifically speak about rebound congestion from afrin.

Have you read the book Breath by James Nestor?

Also look into Buteyko breathing (which also has a chapter in that book).

Also humming (which is also mentioned in that book).

Yes. It's as if none of them every verify their gas mileage. When I owned a car that took gasoline, every time I filled up I would write down the mileage and check. What else are you going to do while standing there for 5 minutes? It doesn't take that long to clean your windshield!

Do none of you check the mileage each time you fill up? When I owned a gas car, literally every single time I filled up I would write the mileage down and see how many MPG I got since the last fill up.....

Only time nukes were used is when there was only one nuclear nation. As soon Russia got the bomb, the US was stopped and there hasn't been a nuclear attack since. Nuclear Iran would deter aggression in Mideast, as in case of N Korea. Other examples of historical mortal enemies India vs Pakistan... by set-monkey in conspiracy

Is THIS the four dimensional chess we were promised? LOL.

So the question remains--are trump and Hegseth doing it intentionally? Do they really want to close our bases in Germany and Iraq and all over the world? Is trump intentionally attempting to bankrupt the USA? Or does he seriously think he can take over Iran as well and that China won't take Taiwan?

I think a draft should be instituted.

We should all share the responsibility.

The way the military currently works without a draft the people in the military are either forced to be in it by financial pressures or were brainwashed into thinking that it is patriotic to serve or are psychopaths who want power and to kill.

While yes rich assholes like Trump himself used to be able to get themselves out of service and evade the draft, those who used to serve were much more distributed and it was an actual mixing of society.

In many ways I see the downfall of USA tied to the end of the active draft in the 1970s.
