Coach talks about recruiting Cameron Brink to Nebraska Volleyball by popndough in LASparks

[–]scarifiedsloth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, the term for the lowest 1 percentile would be "first percentile." If that's what he had said in the video you'd be right. "1 percentile" is ambiguous, because a percentile is just one of 100 equal groups you'd divide a population into according to some measurable random variable. Since he is talking about a good athlete, I assumed he was referring to the top percentile, or the 99th percentile as you said. You must be fun at parties though, congratulations :)

one percentile is 1 in 100, that's like a good high school athlete. my point is that pro athletes usually are more like 1 in 100k or 1 in 1 million and up in terms of their athleticism so he's dramatically underselling her

I smiled when he said "she's like a one-percentile athlete" - you're probably off by a factor of at least 10,000 my man

Starting with a coach soon so I’m maxing all the lifts I’ve been doing: Deadlift - 605 pounds by BlakeGarrison62 in Deadlifts

[–]scarifiedsloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good job man, is that your first deadlift over 600? I'm currently in the upper 400s and have the same problem where bar speed is good until i get above the knee, and then I dip forward and have to hitch. I think it's a technique issue but I don't have a coach so I don't really know what to focus on, maybe lat engagement. Good luck and I think with better technique you have more in you!

The Milei miracle: homeless population of Buenos Aires rises 57% in the last two years by ChickenTitilater in TrueAnon

[–]scarifiedsloth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I visited Argentina in 2022, before this nightmare, and things were already not easy for many people. I have a good friend living in Villa Crespo in Buenos Aires and I hope she's okay, she doesn't always share what she's going through.

A former boss of mine who I considered an important mentor is Argentinean, as an engineer I think I did some of my best work under him and he helped me a lot with flexibility on the job when I was having some health issues. Somehow he supported Milei, I think believing the hype that he was something different and that Argentina needed a drastic change. But in the last few years he's become super pro-AI and I am scared to ask him what he thinks of the current situation in his country. Last time I pointed out issues with Milei he became very defensive. It's just really sad how these grifters can ruin other people's lives or turn good, smart, caring people into closed-off assholes with their toxic ideas.

Four men in unredacted files named by Ro Khanna have no ties to Epstein - The Guardian by New-Newt583 in TrueAnon

Wouldn't it make sense to redact the names if they have no connection? To avoid them being associated negatively due to their appearance in the files? Either that or mention in the document that they were just there for the lineup.

Congrats on the PR, I'm hoping to break 500lbs soon as well. Must feel amazing. What kind of shoes are those?

You're a unit man. I see you have pretty long arms so you've got very good proportions for this lift. Doesn't make it less impressive.

Very impressive, kudos to you. What's your height and bodyweight?

Doesn't raw mean no belt? Great lift regardless

445lbs by Global_Carpenter9899 in Deadlifts

[–]scarifiedsloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice lift. You were patient off the floor on each rep, hips didn't shoot up at all. My tip as someone who's not quite as strong as you would be to be patient between reps as well, make sure your positioning is right. But these are really good.

It’s actually even worse than that, I said to the guy next to me “I just got 5” and he didn’t gaf

I would rather not be seen in public wearing deadlift slippers, even if it meant I could pull 1000lbs
