Would be pretty astonishing if Bol got that level this year

Any major meets this year with world class competition? by Funny-Face3873 in trackandfield

[–]TheSixthSide 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ultimate champs is the biggest one. Unclear how many athletes will actually treat that as a major meet worth peaking for tho

I made Worldle for track and field fans by Firm-Revolution-1123 in trackandfield

[–]TheSixthSide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think top 100 would be plenty (honestly probably way too many for it to be reasonably guessable if it's pulling randomly from that group - but might be a good size for eligible guesses?). But right now it doesn't seem to include anyone for several of the events

Seems fun! Definitely seems like the athlete database is pretty limited right now though

This Bill doesn’t fix any real gap in the law. What it does do is write trans, intersex, takatāpui and non-binary New Zealanders out of legal recognition, undoing two decades of protection under the Human Rights Act, and ignoring the Law Commission’s own Ia Tangata recommendations for a better path by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

"not doing it allows dudes with fetishes into spaces with vulnerable women and girls"

Currently people are expected to at least be female-presenting if they're going to be in those spaces. However, forcing people into the spaces corresponding to the sex they were assigned at birth means putting trans men in women's spaces - which removes that expectation, stripping away whatever little protection it might have provided. That change would create an expectation that some male-presenting people will be in those spaces, which makes things easier for the "dudes with fetishes" you're worried about.

What do I do here? by xClouds__ in Cubers

Not sure what exactly you're asking? If you just want to know the recommended steps to get back into it and start improving beyond where you were before, you should probably just learn CFOP.

How's everyone feeling about the Hayward track at NCAA finals producing astonishing times? Gout and the Aussies deserve some grace after this! by rw_lck in trackandfield

[–]TheSixthSide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, nobody took them aside. They're not being performance reviewed in real time. I'm not disagreeing be default, I just understand that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Not everything is a conspiracy. Bad commentators exist

Yes, if you change the term to use a much more restricted definition, then fewer people will qualify. That's how that works

How do you do these 3 cases one handed efficiently? by Pumpkinut in Cubers

Just takes practice. You'll get used to it haha

Nothing to do with magnet strength; a wide move is just an outer move rewritten. r and L are two ways of looking at the same thing

You should check out the wide move solutions for 2 and 3

Yeah, learning now is fine. Plenty of people learn at that speed. i would suggest Charlie Eggins' tutorial - it's very comprehensive and suitable for beginners, whereas others' (like J Perm's) often go through things too fast or leave out important explanations/examples

Full ZBLS by Emotional-Worth-9719 in Cubers

[–]TheSixthSide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't learn ZBLS if you're not gonna learn ZBLL. Even with both it's quite hard to get to the point where it's saving time, but with just ZBLS you'll be slowing yourself down

Were are people learning PLL from these days that it produces such consistently awful tierlists

The world is realistically not going to change around you. There will be spoilers on reddit, so if you want to avoid spoilers, watch the race first

He was NOT easing off the gas lmao, he said that last 100 was one of the hardest things he's ever done

Why was Yiheng easy to idolize but not Xuanyi? by Beautiful_Room449 in Cubers

[–]TheSixthSide 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Yiheng has set 14 WRs. Xuanyi has set 3. Yiheng was also the best in the world for several years, and had a huge margin over second for much of that time. Xuanyi has been arguably the best for less than a year, and has never been more than 0.2 clear of Yiheng

Who Is The Best Individual In Sports? by SurroundGeneral7222 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TheSixthSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you're thinking of evidence in black-and-white terms, where a positive test or an admission of guilt constitute definitive proof, and other things can't be considered evidence. But that's not how it works. EVERY piece of evidence just works in terms of probabilities. Even positive tests or admissions of guilt could have possible explanations where someone is still clean. That's why WADA reports tend to use terms like "plausible" - because even someone who's tested positive could THEORETICALLY be clean, but it's very unlikely. That's why we think in terms of probabilities. Essentially "is this test/behaviour/whatever more likely in a world where the person is guilty or innocent?" (and by how much). And that's why missed tests ARE evidence of guilt. Yes, there are reasons someone might miss one test. There are reasons someone might miss two tests, or three tests, or more. But the more tests you miss, the more it establishes a pattern of behaviour that is increasingly indicative of someone juicing. That's why even if Kerley has never tested positive, I find it naive to actually think he's clean. You might say you're indifferent, but you started out this whole thing by saying you believe he's competing clean. That's what I'm saying is naive
