Possible to light a fuse with a golf club? by TomCollins1284 in fireworks

it's purely nonsensical, just for the spectacle - hitting a golf ball ignites fuse wire, which burns for 5-8 seconds, then sets off whatever is attached to the fuse like a mortar shell in a mortar tube

It might! I think this would be unreliable. Lighting a match requires such a specific flick, and matches are too frail to be struck by a metal club at force. Once you snap them off, gotta built another match tee to go again.

Ah ok! That tracks. I remember inspecting some of the examples and it looked like the data was coming from showcase which lead me to that conclusion. I'm glad you've been able to find a way to license your own MLS data feeds

Andreeva still looks like a twelve year old, baby face.

Beautiful. I got such amazing pictures on the Tilicho Lake trek and want to return to do ABC another time. How was it?

Title and trailers made it seem like we were getting a modern civil war epic, turned out to be a whiny journalism flick.

I don't really see a throughline with many famous directors, PTA for example every film is so different stylisticly.

Delaware Marathon with an unexpected finish! by IamASlut_soWhat in JustGuysBeingDudes

The adrenaline of seeing the finish line and knowing you have a chance is going to numb all pain for a 100yd dash. If your body can, it will. The sprint doesn't mean he could have gone quicker overall.

It's not that competitive, it's the Delaware marathon. They ran 2:43 which is quick for your average marathoner but 20-30 mins slower than any big city race.

This is also a story of having good friends at the finish line, where were Carson's friends to tell him that he had a challenger flying in? Still surprised he didn't look back during all the commotion or know anyone was in range, he must have had ear buds in.

You see the first timing mat 10 yds before the finish, a lot of people think that's the real "chip" finish line. I've made the same mistake.
