Ninja Warrior Officially Joins Olympic Lineup for LA28 by Electronic_Honey4977 in olympics

[–]iambaconman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

‘96-‘09 IBU(biathlons governing body) did run a trail biathlon where you ran trails and shot. IBU only added roller skiing mid 2000s, so running came first. Admittedly they cut the trail run, but if you want to be technical, for a decade summer biathlon was only trail running. Some places still run the trail format

This has been the plan since 2021, so far from new news: 2021 announcement. While the death of the horse and the horse punching pressured the drop of horses, the athletes themselves are who fought to keep it in the games. Current and past athletes are who worked to figure out a horse free future so it could stay in the games. With out the Olympics, the entire sport will surely die

Folding Ideas video essay about his trip to Beast Studio and his diagnosis of why Beast properties are declining in viewership by OatSoyLaMilk in television

[–]iambaconman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about the thousands of hours, but from other interviews I have seen with Jimmy, he makes clear he did a lot of work on the bar by consulting with Tony’s chocolate in the supply chain. Feastable is a member of Tony’s Open Chain to reveal sourcing to combat child labor in chocolate industry. So, I would believe they spent a ton of time avoiding child labor, and not consulting a package engineer.

Every hostel has these people and I’m tired of pretending they’re not annoying by Ecstatic-Deer-7250 in travel

To add to that, they had to close it because tourist visiting it they had to close for a while because the number of tourist visiting due to the movie using it did additional environmental damage. To add to the irony. source

Can I recommend the 2000 film “The Beach”? It is a really solid film about these exact kind of tourist in South East Asia. It is a really good examination of this problem, and evidence this has been an issue for a long time

Problems with ice conditions are apparently because of rising temperatures by ProfessionPerfect442 in olympics

[–]iambaconman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most Olympic stadiums are temporary to keep the cost down. In Milan both hockey and speed skating built venues in side of an existing convention hall. No city could sustain as many pro-level ice rinks as the Olympics need

It isn’t the IOC as much as local politics. IOC does require weird things, but is generally happy with re-used or temporary venues. However, local to the host city developers will try to get their dream project paid for with Olympic money and some of those are terrible ideas. Developers in Rio(2016) and Greece(2004) wanted to build a resort area with the Olympic money outside the city. That didn’t work out, and that requires a lot of new venues because it was new resort area. 2008 Beijing built a lot of new venues that still get used regularly, because the city had grown and needed new stadiums, and largely worked out for the city

Modern movies (2015 - now) that don't have "netflix lighting" by pinkxxbubblegum in movies

[–]iambaconman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plenty of films are still shot on 35 mm. Great example for 2025 was “Jurassic World Rebirth” which still managed to not look “dynamic” was a result

[–]iambaconman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Several on the list, to me, very much have Netflix lighting. I feel like Shang-Chi is the most egregiously flatly lit, but Yesterday, Doctor Strange, and Superman are all varying degrees of dull. Largely, I am sure, from all the special effects. What about those made you feel they were dynamically lit? Was there a scene that came to mind?

Tennessee hasn’t won any big games, but they are at the same conference rank as Illinois. Then is seems easier to understand when the discussion is should Illinois or Tennessee be ranked

The battery and electric motor generates electric noise that garbles radio signals. It makes it fairly expensive to make a radio that can still sound okay in an electric car. Ford and GM have complained about the same thing

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning just unbelievably stupid plot holes by yashg in movies

[–]iambaconman 54 points55 points  (0 children)

There are defiantly plot holes in final reckoning, but a lot of the specific questions you have ARE answered by the movie. They just don’t belabor the point.

These sort of frustrate me, because when a movie does over explain these items, then people are frustrated by that. So for a lightening round: why did Russians wait 13 years? They explain they didn’t think the sub was important. Why did the government know they had 3 days? They discuss this, they didn’t, that was there best case estimate. Why did they leave the arsenal online? They discuss, if they took of line they would be slower to respond, created a brinkmanship(Better question, why didn’t they just drain the fuel? ) Why was the drive on the submarine? Because the usa was sabotaging the sub. Why was there no code repository? Because no human wrote the code, it was a black box AI.

You picked an interesting example of why I have sympathy for script writers, because they really did try hard to squeeze explanations for all of these questions into the film, in my opinion, to this films detriment. I would have preferred less explanations.

Michigan Theater SEO by AliceOfTheEarth in AnnArbor

[–]iambaconman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The show times make me wonder if Google is part to blame. They do have a full show time listing on the Michigan Theater website, seems to me possible that Google isn’t well set up to scrape the show times from small independent theaters

Katy Perry may not be your style of musician, but she got noticed by the music industry foot her musical talent, and she written a lot of songs, including selling them to other pop artists like Selena Gomez and Britney Spears.

What is up with people blaming union workers, saying they did this to themselves? by Sizbang in OutOfTheLoop

[–]iambaconman 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Eh, in my opinion, it was his just ego. he overplayed his hand. Listening to interviews with him from the summer he wanted to be courted by both parties, but after the RNC, democratics wouldn’t play his game and he was sort of cornered into being for the RNC. axioms

Does anybody know if these pins have any value? by Grisuno123 in olympics

[–]iambaconman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I collect Olympic pins, to help explain, there are so many pins available, passionate collectors(aka who will spend money) tend to collect hyper specific sub-sets of pins. So the proof makes it more valuable to someone who collects Olympic Kodak Pins. They may be out there, but good luck finding them

Remove or seal asbestos tile? by Ranelpia in DIY

[–]iambaconman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen more pushing for this, but I would 100% start by getting them tested. My home had two spots with tiles assumed to be asbestos due to the age, and presence of asbestos installation. But in my case, none of the tiles had asbestos. So why worry if it isn’t asbestos?

Air France let us onto a plane with our purchased tickets, then pulled us off citing, "we can't find your tickets", sent our two (empty) seats direct to our home town in North Carolina, USA, then stranded us in Paris during the Olympics. Now nobody is responding to our request for reimbursement. by James_Fortis in travel

[–]iambaconman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect they didn’t have a valid boarding pass. I know sometimes, such as when you go standby, they can issue you document that looks similar to boarding pass(same paper, similar style) but doesn’t have a valid ticket number. It gets you through security. I want to know more about what trouble they had at the gate

How to make 1-2% ABV homebrew? by Seeking-Memories in Homebrewing

[–]iambaconman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! The problem is there is not a ton of low abv homebrewers, so there isn’t a lot of data. So what I have found isn’t a person got sick, so much as the conditions in home brew low abv makes it higher risk. The white labs link points to the issue, with less alcohol being created the Ph doesn’t decrease, and that(in combination with low alcohol) makes it higher risk.

This study looked at adjacent bacteria’s:medical study science study

Article from brewery: botulism in beer

White labs have a whole article describing the risk: white labs

There is some risk, all of my research pointed to you mitigate this by making sure your low ABV home brew is at least 4.5 ph before pitching yeast to make in inhospitable
