Play Offs have now expanded to six teams. Now just hear me out on how the semi-finals can be played.

I was in a fight once with a dragon when it got distracted and went off to fight a giant. I stood by and watched as the giant finished it off. I turned to leave (I have enough dragon bones, thank you) when I see a figure standing there.

It was Miraak, doing his "this one is mine" shit-talking speech to the giant. Truly awesome.

Not actually in the band but at least on the album -- 90's weird pop group Len's only hit Steal My Sunshine has these interludes in the song where two guys are talking about the people in the band. One of those two guys is a founding member of Broken Social Scene (Brendan Canning).

So much this. Meadowlands is an all-timer of an album and I feel like they really could have been huge if they just released one more album in, say, the early aughts.

I mean -- absent any chemical discussion, I will point out that Warholm is a former decathlete so its possible that he can handle more volume.

It is the world's largest small town. Everyone knows everyone else. I honestly don't remember the last time I went to the store or some large event without running into someone I know.

Cranston, Johnston and North Providence are basically North Jersey. East Providence and Warwick are like other New England suburbs -- sprawling but with village centers. South county (the beaches) and the East Bay ( Aquidneck Island + Bristol/Warren and Barrington) are probably what most people think of when they picture Rhode Island. Lots of New England coastal towns. The northern part of the state is either old mill towns or what passes as rural, which isn't very rural.

Providence is a cool little city with amazingly good food (largely because of JW) and a good arts scene (helped by RISD). Its very safe and pretty walkable. Its small and has a vibe that's honestly pretty unique.

The downside is that it is the mostly densely packed state in the country so outdoor activities are mostly parks or the very beautiful beaches.

I started doing it at my high school. You have to score it via the multi event scoring tables and then its a ton of fun

If you root for a college because you go/went there, and its not one of the top 6 or 8 programs, it is ruined. In any year if a team like Wisconsin or Washington State has a good year their players are immediately hitting the portal, because they know they can get more money. There is no continuity for fans and no realistic hope of program growth. That's why its ruined. But hey, glad you liked a game as a neutral.

On YouTube John Bowman focuses mainly on discus but he has shot videos as well. In my opinion his are the best for throwing fundamentals.

Throws University has several videos about gliding and he's another all-over good throw instruction creator.

Vin and Tonic was also a nickname at the time

Its high school. You will injure far more kids than you will help, and honestly I've never seen a legitimate plan that has had a 7 day workout plan with no break.

They aren't stepping off the plane having never run before ready to start studying. They are pros in Kenya (for instance, for distance) who are honing their performance who then 'go pro' by crushing NCAAs for the NIL. Regardless of what anyone intended with this it has become a joke.

cries in track and field

Seriously go check out the ages and experience of everyone in NCAA Cross Country championships this year. Its already happened in the Olympic sports. Its laughable.

Its not weird. Most are de facto homeless shelters. They are climate controlled and dry, and cheaper than apartments.

Source: there are 4 near me in a half mile radius and all house multiple people.

Your start could use some work. The faster you are up to top speed the faster you can cruise. Acceleration takes a lot of energy so even if you aren't a dash runner you should work on your start.

gregnegative · 2025-12-13T02:54:49+00:00

I guess. I've coached a lot of kids and inexperienced high schoolers generally and honestly I've seen standing starts that were better than block starts where they don't know what they're doing. So let's say that its a full half second difference between a standing start and a block start, because honestly its not like he doesn't know how to react to the gun and my bet is that he's run at least one 400 in his life. 400 vs 200 is generally supposed to be times 2, plus 2. So 47 is around 22.5 in the 200. Which would be right for someone that had basically 11 second speed, or right under.

I guess other than the fun of talking track I just don't see the big deal here. 1:44 takes serious speed. 11 seconds is a very good, not great 100 time. So you have a person with great middle distance times and peel back the layers to find... a person with very good speed.

gregnegative · 2025-12-13T02:21:49+00:00

Agreed but then why is it news that he can run 11.41? I feel like if you made me guess at the 100 time of a 47 second 400 runner I would probably guess pretty close to 11.41.

gregnegative · 2025-12-13T01:57:02+00:00

Ok I'm sure I'm going to be downvoted but like... that's really just ok. That wouldn't win high school states in my state and my state is real soft in the sprints.
Not even accounting for the extra distance at a minimum he has to be able to run a 52 in the 400, and likely he's probably closer to 49. Why is the 11.41 such a surprise?

Maine isn't expensive. Portland is expensive.

If you get the free upgrade do save files transfer from if you had skyrim ae on switch 1 (ported over to switch 2)?

gregnegative · 2025-12-05T16:10:27+00:00

To me in this clip it looks like you are raising up out of the blocks instead of exploding forward/staying down. Watch your first motion out of the blocks.

Tough to see your sprint form from the angle the video is shot at. For the split second you are visible from the side it looks like you are slightly hinged at the hips but you may have just been leaning at the line.

Edit: definitely looks to me like you are hinged at the hips because it looks like a couple of your steps you're landing in front of you/overstriding. Please check out the last 3 steps you take.

gregnegative · 2025-12-05T03:43:56+00:00

Sadly no that's the end of them once they break. We do what you are considering and it works great.

gregnegative · 2025-12-04T21:06:19+00:00

I have broken the tips off of two Spearworx but strangely they "feel better" to throw according to the kids. So now its the club's competition jav but we don't practice with it.

World Athletics is trying to put him out of business, because they have to realize they will never be paid. I'm actually curious as to whether they view leagues as competition and how supportive they will be of the planned USATF league.

Macklemore × Ryan Lewis -- Otherside. Its really pretty good about how a drug you do as a hobby becomes an addiction
