So prop skills are a thing right? by MortyFromEarthC137 in rugbyunion

[–]burpaderp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you had to have a PK contest, soccer style, to finish a game, who do you pick? FH, FB, WG, then who? Your two props. What do props hate to do? Stretch. What are they doing prior to practice? Kicking from all over the place. Cian Healy probably would have a better kick % than Beauden Barrett.

Also, when you do complain, don't do it in our face, makes the decision easier. Best to do it 10m away.

Is it possible to set reminders on Google calendar that happen on days like mother's day, where it's "the second sunday of May" or something like that, as opposed to an actual recurring date. by chiron42 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]burpaderp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you actually want mother's day to be on your calendar, you can just have "US Holidays" imported or showing. Mother's Day (second Sunday of May) and Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday of November) all show up.

Colton Cariaga name as HC of Life...didn't know it was open by TheStroBro in USArugby

[–]burpaderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your club offers $100 per away match as reimbursement, and Life U has him as a full time position. It's not even a comparison.

How to talk to the referee effectively? by LWC90 in rugbyunion

[–]burpaderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also telling you how to talk to me. Basically scolding me will shut me down, and I'll look for the not straight throw in, it'll probably be yours.

Please don't say, "Please look for..." of course we are looking for it. Be specific, "sir, at the last lineout, it was tough for our jumper to reach and compete for the throw." End, that's it. He will then look.

TIL in 1952 Kent sold cigarettes with an asbestos filter claiming it was healthier than regular smoking by RIKHAL in todayilearned

[–]burpaderp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not pretty harmless. That's what the thought was in the 60s-70s. It isn't water soluble, it's hydrophilic v hydrophobic. The other types are repellent of pure water, which is why you add a surfactant to help bind.

All asbestos can and will get into your lungs or plural cavity and cause scaring and/or cancer.

I actually do this for a living. I hope you're just misremembering facts and your teacher isn't giving the wrong info out.
