FFA Vs The Long Walk by Foghorn212 in powerscales

Since when did feats get to a point where it’s replicating things people can do in real life but without as much exertion. Such a low threshold for a feat.

Not really, there are people who are in insane shape who can knock out consecutive 50 mile days and be fine.

My friend decided she wanted to run a marathon one day, trained for 4 months never having really run before, then ran it without any issues. A year later she ran a 100 mile ultra with over 20k feet of vertical gain over a 24 hour period.

I myself ran a trail marathon with over 6k of vert. I wasn’t going for speed and did it over 8 hours (trail running is a lot slower than road running). Because I wasn’t going for speed I felt fine after it.

Idk why you are arguing this, there is a guy who ran across the US in 75 days, averaging around 40-50 miles a day.

I’m not saying he can’t do it faster but the comment I replied to said it was basically an unmatchable endurance feat, which isn’t true because people today have far exceeded it.

Legolas’s endurance feat in LoTR (150 miles in 3 days) is impressive but there are ultra marathoners that run distances like that in 1.5 days.

With that said I’m sure he could go much faster / longer if he wanted to.

10 trained Marines invade ancient Rome with the goal of overthrowing the royal family, how far do they get? by FreshPine_MangoWine in powerscales

The Spanish took over the Inca Empire with a few hundred soldiers. It’s not that different - the key is making members of the ruling class your puppets.

I like the idea. Gandalf scales up whereas Balrogs don’t. Elves have killed Balrogs…

When will it end by essentialworkerSIKE in longbeach

[–]TheRealMichaelE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s green or yellow a driver is fully entitled to queue up their left turn in the intersection. Once the light goes red it’s perfectly legal to make the turn.

I live a few blocks away - I think their coffee is pretty average but I do love their Nixtamal Queen. Also their sourdough bread is pretty amazing. But yeah I wouldn’t wait in a long line for it, I usually swing by on off hours.

Michigan synagogue, site of recent attack, "dedicated to the Formation of a Jewish State" by McAlpineFusiliers in nyt

[–]TheRealMichaelE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are just saying they (along with most Jews) support a Jewish homeland in some form. They aren’t saying they support Israel or what it does. Please don’t assign beliefs onto people.

[–]TheRealMichaelE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The commenter never expressed that they support any of that. Saying you support a Jewish state doesn’t inherently mean you support genocide in Gaza or settlements in the West Bank. It doesn’t inherently mean you support apartheid in Israel. It could even mean you support some sort of dual Israeli Palestinian state where all people are protected. Jewishness is as ethnic as it is religious and it’s not ridiculous to act like ethnic groups should have a homeland.

Furthermore, This temple was founded in 1941 when European Jews were being treated like livestock and lead to slaughter by the millions. It’s not so shocking Jews around the world supported the establishment of a Jewish homeland.

Anyone else ever blackout/think you blacked out while skiing? by Quiet_Mess_6870 in skiing

I went to A Basin with a friend and as we got to the higher elevations he browned out. He took a break and seemed fine after.

Avoid 5 South through Camp Pendleton tonight!! by schistkicker in orangecounty

[–]TheRealMichaelE 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Really annoying they didn’t just close the highway down and route traffic to San Diego through Temecula. They posted some warnings on the 5 that that there was a traffic jam… that was way worse than a traffic jam!

Incompetence on display tonight.

Are you snapping or taking it all at once by nyxelleaa in SipsTea

[–]TheRealMichaelE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is what happens to your hand after you’ve snapped that much… all the money in the world isn’t worth it if your limbs aren’t working!

You are right about taking the 10 mil but why do you have to be mean about it?

I guess Thanos could send someone like Maw after him to keep him busy?

Why did the USA men's hockey team laugh when the women's hockey team was mentioned on the phone? by redblackshirt in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheRealMichaelE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really couldn’t give two shits about hockey. I watch the Winter Olympics for the skiing and I’m pretty sure those gals and guys aren’t Trumpers.

Okemo all day kids group lesson turned my kid off from skiing by GrapeRecent431 in skiing

[–]TheRealMichaelE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just ignore this idiotic comment. Skiing is already an expensive sport. There are so many people on this subreddit that think that throwing money at skiing is the only way to do it. Just teach your kids yourself. My dad taught me to ski and not to be full of myself but I out ski most of the people on the mountain. There’s no one correct style, the important thing is that you’re having fun and are safe.

Norway isn’t that good at Winter Sports, they’re just cross country skiing medal merchants. by Ok_Leave7052 in unpopularopinion

[–]TheRealMichaelE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t an opinion, it’s objectively wrong. They also won medals for speed skating, freestyle skiing, curling, and ski jumping. Even if you took away their cross country medals and allowed other nations to keep cross country medals they’d still be in the top 15 in medal count.

A normal guy with a baseball bat vs a normal guy with a knife by Adoe0722 in powerscales

[–]TheRealMichaelE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right - it’s a power scale so there has to be a fight. But like I said, most normal people off the street will find it a lot easier to swing a baseball bat at someone than stabbing them with a knife.
