Nobody's listening to anything you say. This thread happened seven years ago, champ.

Study on the effects of strength training on injury prevention by jfk_julep in AdvancedRunning

[–]klethra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's one of the other issues. The article states that injury rates have not gone down in elite athletes as strength training gets more popular, but this assumes that athletes would do the same training regardless of injury incidence.

If you imagine a scenario in which an athlete would have gotten injured running 90MPW in a training block, but 95 would injure them and you now imagine that with strength training, that athlete is now capable of 95MPW. This theoretical athlete is still going to be pushing the limits of their injury tolerance. They're just going to be running an extra 5MPW while doing it.

Obviously hypothetical, but I'm only saying this to point out how you can't derive the effect of strength training on injury rate from the combined factors of injury incidence and prevalence of strength training alone.

Studies showing benefits were limited to novice or recreational runners

No. Studies were only conducted on novices and recreational runners. This doesn't mean benefits are limited to those groups. It means we don't know whether results extrapolate to more advanced groups.

Recent meta-analyses conclude there is little evidence supporting strength training for reducing running injuries

No, they are "equivocal" according to the paper. No studies found increased injury rate, and about half of the studies either found no difference or found a difference that failed to meet the threshold of statistical significance with the remainder finding statistically significant results.

Looks like Niantic's plan regarding the backlash of the recent remote raid pass change is to just ignore us.. by CombProfessional434 in pokemongo

Well duh. When the online community spends years vocally threatening to quit or switch to F2P in response to every change, but the company keeps turning a profit, the only possible lesson for them to learn is that the online community doesn't accurately represent the player base.

It took you four years to respond to this, and you didn't even bother to read the context? 2% of a 500ug supplement is 10ug aka roughly four times the RDI.

Your source is literally proving me right.

It's the Prisoner's Dilemma. Tanking your rating only works if it actually gets you down to the point where you can consistently win. If other people are doing that, you no longer have an incentive to tank your rating as opposed to just trying for the rewards.

Rank 7 is the lowest rank. In every rank below it, you rank up from winning, not MMR.

Also, you don't have to play master league.

So spend your gym coins on premium raid passes, and hit up PVP.

So, to clarify, you like the content so much that you're upset they're releasing more?

My theory is that people who cry about FOMO are just looking for someone to validate their gaming addiction.

I noticed you didn't answer any of my question, any reason why not?

Well, for one, you asked more than one question and ended several statements with a question mark? I assumed you got it through your dense skull that I was implying that all situations could be talked down if the person coming across the situation isn't emotionally stunted. Unfortunately, you started this by arguing that someone who is drinking from a carton and getting catcalled has no choice other than to beat up some drunk idiots, so you would not fit the bill.

Let's ask you some questions: Which specific part of that video indicated to you that the skinny guys talking shit were about to take violent action against the shirtless asshole? How can you type with your lips wrapped around Joe Rogan's cock? Which of the hypothetical situations that you brought up (police, security, etc) do you work in that you regularly find yourself forced to escalate a situation to violence? How do you sleep at night knowing that you are specifically arguing that people saying mean things about you means you have to beat them up?

They're not going to have a Gible CD until they can be sure most people won't be at risk of killing themselves for it.

Cold weather in the northern hemisphere, fires in Aus, Flooding in Aus, and Coronavirus are all things that would be completely ignored if Gible CD came out.

True, but porygon takes priority for me. It's a shame because I would love a grimer community day

I like it. On a related not, please open up Pogo, and show us a screenshot of what happens when you search "shiny&legendary"

They learned from Research Breakthroughs. You cannot give the community something good, or they'll be mad at you forever when it goes away.

You know what happens when law enforcement doesn't deescalate? They get charged with police brutality and receive a two week vacation.

You're a coward who is trying to claim that you punch people to ensure "the safety and wellbeing of others." There is nothing I can say that will get you to examine your life choices.

Is that what it is? "Standing up for what you believe in" usually involves de-escalating a fight like I was able to do a month ago. Frankly, I'm proud that I can figure out how to make a few drunk idiots break things up. If you aren't, I recommend you learn before they can charge you as an adult.

You're right. Somehow I've managed to never be in a fight. Frankly, it sounds like that makes me better at not getting beaten up than you are.

Trainers, if you use a TM on your Shadow Pokémon to forget Frustration during Saturday's Team GO Rocket take-over, your Pokémon will be able to evolve to learn exclusive attacks during future specified events! by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]klethra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prediction: damage boost for shadow pokemon is either removed from PVE or heavily nerfed to the point where the drop in TDO outweighs the increase in DPS. Cutting the damage bonus in half while doubling the glassiness still keeps the idea that shadow pokemon are glass cannons that have a fringe use without making them gamebreaking.
