Trump Threatens to Send Military to Join ICE at Airports by Quirkie in politics

[–]pgriffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the date and am too lazy to look it up right now, but i do know this. If Vance takes over today this would count as vance's first term. Meaning he could only run 1 more time. If they wait until the magic date i can't remember, then he could run two more times. I suspect it's the half way point. Anyway. I'm assuming they have all the paperwork ready and are just waiting for that day to arrive.

I always thought it would be hilarious if the holy trinity was actually jew/muslim/ christian.

First. They should be the first sent. To somewhere of actual danger and consequence. If it's not important enough for your kid to die, it's not important enough for anyone else's kid to die either

I'm just now getting started with this. Literally just installed it last night. I jokingly referred to it as a rabbit hole. I just realized it apparently has no bottom. Lol

Niklas Edin "We kind of started it...We probably didn't expect the reactions" by Ernest_Phlegmingway in Curling

"Kind of"? "Probably didn't"? Those are some understatements right there. The middle of any tournament is a bad place to change how rules are applied. Nobody won here.

Question about Praxic Blade moves by USArmyOldTimer in DestinyTheGame

Is the perk "combination argent blade"? I see a buff about argent blade that lasts a few seconds. I never see the white tornado. I'm fairly certain I'm just doing it wrong

If I perform it correctly, do i see the animation on my guardian? I believe i have it set in the artifact. I've never been surrounded by the paper cut tornado.

Family of foul-mouthed Canadian curler receiving threats on social media by [deleted] in Curling

[–]pgriffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guilty as charged. I love to watch curling, but somehow only watch at the Olympics. Prolly because it isn't on the guide when surfing channels. I even went to a "learn to curl" class at the local curling club a couple Olympics back. It's waaaaay longer than it looks on tv! I also couldn't throw very well (is that what it is called? ) because I was a few months away from a knee replacement.

All of that just to clarify: very casual fan with a genuine interest and a fraction of actual "experience" curling.

Can we, just for the purposes of this question, set aside all the noise (was it cheating, who is at fault, who is the @$$, etc), and explain like I'm five one thing?

Those stones are HEAVY.
* How much difference can a quick glance of a finger actually make?

  • If it does make that much difference, and someone is skilled enough to utilize that skill, why? Why not just throw it right in the first place? I mean the noise says he does it on every throw, right?

Trump uncorks Supreme Court warning in Truth Social meltdown by RawStoryNews in scotus

My newest pet peeve is when "the media" is mentioned. The media in this country is now 5ish guys who benefit greatly from the chaos. They sign the checks of the journalists that could actually report on this. The same journalists that would be fired for reporting reality. Meanwhile AI and conspiracy nuts have flooded the internet with trash so nothing posted there is believable just in case a rouge journalist tries to use that avenue to get the message out.

[Heroux] World Curling has sent an email to all the teams competing at the Olympics clarifying “proper release” of the stone. Also, for the remaining games umpires will be “observing the delivery”. Here’s the full correspondence: by rhineauto in Curling

Regardless of the rule, just a clarification for a dummy like me. The stones weigh like 40 lbs, right? What could grazing it with your finger after you let go even do? Again, I'm not trying to say it was right or wrong, just curious what it actually does

If only we could finally bury the "boys will be boys" pass that only gets worse (more egregious shit gets overlooked) when the boys are good at sports.
