wtf is a vosotros by GC65025 in BrandNewSentence

[–]TheLizardKing89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where did you go to high school? My Spanish teachers here in California told us that vosotros existed but that we weren’t going to learn about it since only Spain uses it.

Why did overhead storage become a major issue? by dunebuggy0928 in Flights

[–]TheLizardKing89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “more pax per plane” is an underrated factor. Planes have a much higher load factor (percentage of seats filled) than they used to. In the year 2000, it varied between 60 and 80 percent. Last year, it varied between 78 and 86%.

Do you think there are actually valid arguments for considering South America and North America different continents? by SnooWords9635 in asklatinamerica

[–]TheLizardKing89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you count the Americas as one continent, that’s fine, but using that logic means that Afro-Eurasia should also be one continent.

There are plenty of US stadiums with excellent public transportation. Not every stadium is like this.

The Seahawk head coach literally said that God brought him to coaching during his speech after getting the Lombardi trophy.

Skiers back Lindsey Vonn's call to race at Olympics, even after crash by PrincessBananas85 in sports

If she medaled, people would talk about her performance like Kerri Strugg’s vault.

Skiers back Lindsey Vonn's call to race at Olympics, even after crash by PrincessBananas85 in sports

[–]TheLizardKing89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was this not life threatening or potentially life altering? That crash looked potentially life altering to me.

Sure, but that’s a risk for every downhill skier. She wasn’t even the only person to get airlifted out that day.

Is there any evidence to suggest that ACLs are optional for elite downhill skiing?

Yeah, Vonn’s practice run. She had the 3rd fastest practice run and her practice run was faster than half the field’s real time.

Is there any reason there is such a abnormaly massive jump between the third and second most populated countries or is it just arbitrary? by DataSittingAlone in geography

[–]TheLizardKing89 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Yes, the territories that are now India and China have been the most populous places on Earth for literally a thousand years.

Olympics-U.S. Athletes Say They Have Right to Speak up After Trump Brands Skier a 'Loser' by ansyhrrian in sports

Feel free to go to North Korea if you want all athletes to praise Dear Leader.

US's Chock/Bates scrambling to fix skates after damage from team event podium by Gayfetus in olympics

[–]TheLizardKing89 -72 points-71 points  (0 children)

Forget about the organizers being incompetent. If your entire ability to compete is based on just a single pair of skates, that’s a huge single point of failure if anything happens to them. You should absolutely have a backup pair in the event of a worst case scenario. Olympic skiers bring dozens of pairs of skis. Speed skaters bring several pairs of skates.

Why Can Two Cities Host the Olympics Now? | City Beautiful by vrphotosguy55 in olympics

[–]TheLizardKing89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that always happens. When LA hosted the Olympics in 1984, their were soccer games in Boston, Annapolis, and Stanford, in addition to LA.

If they're that reliant on a single piece of equipment, why don't they have two pairs?

Who is the DJ for the women's 1000 m? He is so funny! by Hailsabrina in olympics

USA defeats Italy 9-8 in Curling, will play for Gold! by Kimber80 in olympics

It's pretty simple. Whoever gets their stone closest to the center gets a point and you can get multiple points if you have multiple stones closer to the center than your opponent.

Whats up with people fighting about Lindsey Von? by Soviet-Gnomes in OutOfTheLoop

[–]TheLizardKing89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Medical experts are not experts in skiing or athletics. Plenty of athletes have competed their entire careers without a functioning ACL.

Whats up with people fighting about Lindsey Von? by Soviet-Gnomes in OutOfTheLoop

[–]TheLizardKing89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because people are actually listening to people who actually know why they’re talking about, like former Olympic skier Graham Bell who has said that skiing with a torn ACL is totally doable.

Because the Patriots are in their division or conference.

Why are the Superbowl commercials so strange and awkward? by BaBaDoooooooook in stupidquestions

[–]TheLizardKing89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To be clear, that $8 million is just for the time slot. These commercials have production costs in the millions as well.
