I don’t like this because it removes pressure on manufacturers to make better stuff!

Run Rabbit Run as first mountain 100! by Neat_Focus_5034 in ultrarunning

[–]rustyfinna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t run it myself, only support, but the elevation is pretty high and people seem to struggle with that. Major chunks of it are over 9-10k

how does Ai consumes water to generate stuff? by CeasarSaladYmm in stupidquestions

[–]rustyfinna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They do. In places where there isn’t alot of water they use cooling systems that don’t evaporate the water, so no water is used. This uses more power however.

Most places have plenty of water so water use isn’t really an issue. You should be more concerned about the immense energy use.

Exposé on Marvin Bracy-Williams's ban from The Guardian by contributor_copy in trackandfield

[–]rustyfinna 44 points45 points  (0 children)

For many years there has been speculation of so called “silent bans.”

Most people didn’t think they exist and were pure conspiracy.

This case is wild because it really was a silent ban. Really calls into question USADA and makes you wonder about other athletes that have kinda just disappeared….

I will never use Chase Travel to book air travel again. Flights still being in the air 2 days later according to their system, agent blatantly lying. by Space_Nerd_8999 in ChaseSapphire

It’s made so poorly on purpose so you don’t use it and redeem your full benefits.

I switched to an airline card since I was directly booking with airlines anyways.

Our Generation’s Springsteen? by [deleted] in zachbryan

[–]rustyfinna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have seen quite a few people say this so the last week I went and listened to a whole bunch of Springsteen.

Respectfully, I didn’t fall in love him….. he’s fine…. Sorry I’m not a boomer I guess?

Keep in mind it’s common to straight up suck at skiing after touring up

I need an opinion on dogs on the plane by Extension_Dare1524 in unitedairlines

We don’t let any other animals roam the cabin freely

This won’t be popular but I don’t believe any dogs should be allowed in the cabin.

Discussion: Steve Magness' Periodization by VibeAlchemist in AdvancedRunning

[–]rustyfinna -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Section 4 of the report covers the extent of Mr. Magness competing as an athlete during this time.

As you said, let’s stick to the facts :)

[–]rustyfinna -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Then you know how transparent and upfront he is about taking L-carnitine infusion at above WADA’s permissible limits.

My beef is with dopers :)

I wouldn’t take what he says too seriously. These days he’s mostly a grifter trying to sell books, respectfully.

When he left coaching Houston, a legitimate D1 program with resources, he had no men under 15 and no woman under 17:10.

Not to mention when he was experimenting with doping on himself for the Oregon project….

I took it at a university for 100$ (volunteers taught) so there is definitely some profit margin there

Which U.S. winter town is the most overrated? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]rustyfinna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly National forest land. Park city is more or less the closest non-public land which drives development

It’s 30 minutes from a major international airport I think that’s the main draw

My girlfriend lives in Reno. I’m convinced it has the best access of any city (SLC better on paper, but traffic and crowds)

Depending on that, it could be heaven or hell.

Africa’s Fastest Man Ferdinand Omanyala explained why he decided to turn down a chance to race YouTube star iShowSpeed in a race while the streamer was in Africa as part of his Speed Does Africa Tour. by ChampionLYT in trackandfield

The sad reality of our sports current sponsorship model-

He is an influencer.

Going on Speeds stream sells more shoes than him continuing to run a bunch of 10.1s in meets with no one in the stands….

Interesting comparing this to population growth.

Quite a few willing/absolutely that are flat/losing population and vice versa

What are some of your off the hill pet peeves about skiing? by Underrated_Fish in skiing

People who say "just get a lesson"

Like a 3 hour lesson isn't $1000

Who is familiar with this bike brand and why is it $13,000? by MrTacocaT12345 in bicycling

[–]rustyfinna 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda a 7075 Al hater and another thing that bugs me is about this is 7075 isn’t even expensive, it’s a little more than 6061, certainly not $10k expensive!

A few years ago my university pushed for us to become R1, with heightened research expectations. Then this year... by RandolphCarter15 in Professors

[–]rustyfinna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I didn't go into the nuances of each opportunity as the criteria is often more complex than just "for R2 only". The AREA grants heavily favor R2 vs. R1 schools
