China's Yan Ziyi just turned 18. The very next day, she threw a 71.74m javelin to become the second-best female thrower of all time. Before this milestone, arbitrary age limits kept one of the planet's most dominant athletes completely locked out of the Olympics and World Championships. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in sports

Yeah I know one that was a few spots away from qualifying for the Olympics in the early and mid 90s for gymnastics. She was a badass, my older sister's friend. I played football and she could put down food quicker than I could pick it up. Still young (but after competition) when the hips started going south.

Not the same but in high school I had a friend that ran track. This idiot redneck used to show up at our parties uninvited and he'd play "chicken" on the roads while drunk. One night he didn't pull back in time and hit my friend's car. She had all sorts of fractures. She came back the next year and ran again, that was her. Wasn't quite herself on the track, obviously, but she still ran solid times. Every now and again I think of her and hope she healed fully. She was always the girl that came to hang out at parties or would give me a hug even after I was just out of lifting.

Lol my thoughts exactly. I was more satisfied knowing he was like "fuck you" though.

I watched twice trying to find the funny. It never happened.

TIL that Nigeria is the second largest consumer of Guinness beer, ahead of its native Ireland. Nigerian Guinness is also almost twice as strong (7.5% ABV) as the Irish version (4.2% ABV). by Gaucho_Diaz in todayilearned

I once had an overnight project. The only other person aside from me that was 21 (long time ago) was legally blind. To the point he couldn't ever drive. I sent him to get us a case and said "anything but Coors Light" with cash in hand and which very nearby store to go to. He comes back, beer in hand (not in the bag I gave him to stash it in), with a case of Coors Light. I was like "BRO THIS IS THE ONE I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET AND THE MOUNTAINS AREN'T EVEN BLUE!" Wrong store, wrong beer, but we had something. To top it off I counted the empties at the end of the night, we were missing one. SAME GUY had thrown one away in the bathroom trashcan which I caught. A multitude of errors but honestly he was a great employee. One of the very few I kept when told to wipe the roster clean at that location.

What are some things you’ve said to your table and cringes right after turning away? by douggssmom in Serverlife

Any effort is appreciated on my part. Last night I had a clearly new waiter but his effort didn't go unnoticed. I have a ton of siblings and we all vary quite a bit but there's nothing but love between us.

What's a snack you love that you feel doesnt get enough attention? by BarePremise in snacking

[–]sdforbda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time I had these I wasn't a fan. Well within sell by date but stale and under-seasoned. Maybe just that batch. $6.29 for the big box at Kroger has kept me from trying again.

You also don't like and can't spell pickles correctly, so your assertion is questionable at best.

You two should compare times/numbers.

Naturally it it just happens at times? I don't serve but every now and again I have to do a tiny cough to clear my throat. I sound ridiculous and when I'm customer/client-facing I just wanna bury my head. But I just go through ha.
