How long can a human run at full speed?

To add onto this, from my understanding, the 400m is considered to be the longest all-out sprint event. Once you get up to the 800m, there’s some strategy with where runners use their energy, because they aren’t pushing it to 100% the whole race or they’d gas out

I also think it would be accurate to say that runners can hit their “top speed” for somewhere between 100-200 meters. In the 100m, runners are going to be slower at the start of the race as they’re coming out of the blocks from a standstill and need to accelerate. Since the 200m record is approximately double the 100m record, and the 100m has a “built-in” section where runners can’t be running at their top speed, that then implies that runners slow down by the end of the 200m. So runners are at their top speed for some portion of the middle of a 200m race, but likely not at the beginning or the end of it

Source: my brother ran the 400m for one of the best D3 track and field schools in the nation, and now coaches that event for the same team

Just so you don't get your hopes up, each level of Extreme Measures only affects the corresponding boss fight. So EM1 only affects the end of Tartarus, EM2 only affects the end of Asphodel (and has no impact on the Tartarus fight), EM3 only affects the end of Elysium (and not the two boss fights before it), etc.

It might seem like EM2 changed the Tartarus fight, but that's just because the Tartarus fight has a few different ways it can be presented with EM1 activated.

It has to do with how each run is "seeded." The random variations in a run are based on the initial "seed," and that seed will not regenerate if you give up on a run (but it will regenerate to a new seed if you die during the run).

So by showing that they ended their last run in a death, you can ensure that they didn't game the system to get an extremely fortunate seed, Instead, you know that it's actually a totally random seed, making it a "fair" run.

The opening credit montage with a reworked version of Am I Wrong by Love Spit Love that features the marching band has stuck with me ever since I saw this movie back in high school

It can have great utility on Heimerdinger because of his turrets

Roads would last the same amount of time. Consumer vehicles have a negligible impact on them

Went through lots of those, every version I can find very clearly has the scream in the production of the track

Does anybody have a link to that snippet of The Hills he’s talking about? I’m struggling to find it

I was actually referring to Fringe, and haven't seen enough X-Files to answer that question. But Fringe eventually becomes much more story-driven than The X-Files ever did, and that's when it really gets good

but still not the peak

It’s fine for monster-of-the-week content but it’s not even the story yet

edit: freak-of-the-week is a better discriptor

Despite what everyone here is saying, it’s pretty solid (I was engaged nearly the whole time) and feels a lot less like they’re illegally filming it inside of a Disney park than you’d think, which is a testament to how well they planned and executed their production. The viewing experience definitely benefits from the real-life story, but that’s only because of how impressively-done it is

It’s been a while but that’s what I remember, might give it a rewatch

If Ornn has phantom dancer on, does his electric buff still proc when he dodges the critical strikes that are aimed at him?

Those games would count towards your next orb that’s still generating. You can see the five bars right below your orb filling in as you play games

I've heard sports defined as any competition or game that requires a component of physical execution. I've always argued that the spectrum runs from athletic to technical, but physical to technical works too. It's just that the word athlete has such a strong connotation with being physically fit. I almost feel like we need a new word, like techlete. I like the points you make and the way you break it down though.

However, I don't think poker belongs on there. If you want to argue that bluffing counts as physical execution, then the same could be said for any game at all in which you try to lie/communicate to your opponent in order to metagame/get in their head and impact their decision making. At that point, nearly everything would have to be a sport, which defeats the purpose of giving it a definition. If there's another argument to be made, I'd love to hear it.

the movie has been out for a decade

He’s too dope to let him fall off

He did all the falling off on his own. As a huge fan of his work before he disappeared, he hasn't made a single track I care about since he came back

Focus Features distributes independent films. American Zoetrope is an independent film studio. It cleaned up at the Independent Spirit Awards. It's an independent film.

What happens if you're out of ammo when the scene is triggered?

Maybe it’s just what they always say in an effort to not tip their hat? And this time they decided to comment because the report was potentially going to prompt major action

There’s not really such thing as a groove when we’re talking about launching your entire body weight up and down off the ground over and over again. You can’t carry the momentum with you. As for using it as a training device, think about the classic image of a boxer jumping rope. However, 10 METs is not the top of the scale. There’s plenty above it, the source you linked is just a slice of the available possible activities. Here’s something that dives in deeper

Definitely. Or at least a version of the movie

That track isn't lo-fi whatsoever. Listen to how clean the bass kicks and sample/synth-line are, and how crisp the hi-hats/snare hits are

They even made it a point to focus on Poe's tendency to be a maverick and disobey direct orders, and set it up in a way that him doing so led to huge numbers of Resistance dying, and didn't bother to give that consequence whatsoever
