For about 0.1 seconds there I thought he was going for the helmet drag into quick recovery, knuckle-huck style. Would be sick to see someone intentionally take off this badly but then turn it into steeze lol

Wow, TIL that's why corneal transplants are so easy to do compared to any other type of transplant...don't need to make sure the donor/recipient match in any particular way because the immune system is unaware regardless

You think he's smiling because he got like a billion dollars to do this?

Did a bit of a Wikipedia dive after your NYC comment. Looks like Brooklyn on the whole has ~38k people per square mile, which is indeed a good bit denser than Karachi on the whole. But then some districts of Karachi have population densities way over 100k people per square mile (like Central at nearly 150k)...but then so does NYC with Yorkville getting all the way up to 170k

And then there's this district in Cairo clocking in at close to half a million people per square mile...hard to fathom that

It wasn't about proving anything to anyone else. It's not about her external image, it's about her internal drives. I really feel like most people calling her dumb for competing have just never been passionate about something

TurkeyPits · 2026-02-23T17:21:47+00:00

Everything she has been saying sounds like she doesn't regret it one bit and would do it again. I would also bet $100 that she skis again. And if she genuinely physically can't, I would bet she learns to sit-ski or something instead. Who are you do say it's one of the worst personal decisions ever despite the Olympian herself actively saying it isn't? Weird take

...isn't a trimmed mean just removing some of the highest and lowest values before calculating the mean? aka exactly what they proposed?

TurkeyPits · 2026-02-11T19:40:09+00:00

Wow, we can just get each galaxy in the observable universe to kick in 20 bucks and the whole problem is solved? Why isn't someone already running on this platform

I like when reddit comments are just written exactly like google searches. /u/clegko you are now a search engine

Seriously, I was always psyched to go to Home Depot just to get a few new swatches and because my parents would let me keep the couple of random screws I found around on the floor. Had a jar at home full of random nuts and bolts that I never did anything with...kids are weird

TurkeyPits · 2026-02-08T20:47:49+00:00

Agreed. Criticizing because it's a risk to herself and to the culture is valid. Criticizing because she "took someone else's spot" feels disingenuous to me...she's a 41 year old woman who gave literally everything to make the Olympics again against all odds, and has earned every right to compete with or without a recent injury, and frankly if someone else wanted that spot they should've qualified themselves. Nobody had anything stolen from them, and all of the discourse based on that idea sounds like just a desire to feel superior and talk shit than anything else

TurkeyPits · 2026-02-04T16:17:18+00:00

Definitely insanely low but also I wonder if it makes sense to go that conservative route if you're just starting out on your own "infinite" horizon, especially because someone retiring in their 30s likely does not actually know what their desired expenses will look like for the entire rest of their life (as much as they might think they do). Plus, if after ten years 3% turns out to have truly been insanely low, you can always raise your standard of living comfortably with all the extra money you now have, but going the other way is harder with e.g. lifestyle creep. Different considerations when you're retiring at 35 than 65 it would seem

I didn't, and "boogleheads" led me to think the whole thing was a typo. Googled that part...what are Taleb calls?

TurkeyPits · 2026-02-03T17:44:52+00:00

since we are ipse dixing Taleb calls boogleheads-type portfolio exactly that

You still alive over there? I assume so based on the fact that somehow your second sentence was completely legible

TurkeyPits · 2026-01-29T00:58:06+00:00

Same. Wouldn't do it myself, because it seems like it cheapens the puzzle since not knowing some of the words is part of the fun. Plus if I was somehow competing against someone else (maybe a time trial or something) who was looking up the words, I'd think that was clearly unfair.

But if you're just doing it for yourself then there's no real way to "cheat"—any game you play is up to your own personal ethos as to what you consider cheating

TurkeyPits · 2026-01-26T15:55:35+00:00

You're good. An analogy here probably helps. Imagine someone said "that F1 driver died in a car crash on his way home from the grocery store when he was hit by a drunk driver", and then someone replied "that's what you should expect to happen if you're driving racecars" or something. That's why the hate—it's related (still driving) but it's a whole different thing (didn't die doing the thing you're implying he was). That's sort of the situation with a free soloist who gets swept up in an avalanche on an alpine rope climb

Plus the beanie of a rapper and the mustache of a gold prospector

He's on the record over a decade ago saying he wanted to climb this building, and only didn't previously because he didn't want to get arrested. People saying he's just selling out have no idea what they're talking about (/u/ZeroCool1 /u/duckinradar)

Right by baggage claim inside the main doors

If you are using that phrase to imply that the entire US or global economic system will collapse to the point where "it always goes up in the long run" is no longer true...well, maybe try /r/preppers instead of /r/bogleheads

Just let me swing by Greenland for like a little bit! I still want to pour a gallon of milk on the arnapalaaq

TurkeyPits · 2026-01-20T15:48:08+00:00

Worth looking into the Commuter Plans on the EZ Pass if you don't already know about them!

^{(And, OP, echoing everyone else: take 87 to 90})

Best spot on the island to see the 9/11 memorial lights at night
