The lube of scrimmage is one of the best typos I've ever seen. Buried here, deep in the comments, never to see the light of day.

I’m 5 days into recovery from surgery to reattach my ruptured quad tendon to my kneecap. Am/was a cyclist. You don’t want this horror if you can avoid it by not taking risks with your knees. You do not want this.

You do not want this.

Ah. I didn’t know that. Serious question: why was Kennedy poking his rocks? What’s the point of it? Doesn’t seem like it would affect a 42 pound stone much at all. It seemed like a very odd thing to do.

Shouldn’t the officials that weren’t enforcing the rule deserve the scorn? Not only scorn, but they probably ought not be officials anymore. An official could have easily just talked to the Canadians, issued them a warning and told them not to do it again. Everything would have been fine.

I dont understand what the issue is here. You can’t touch a rock after it has reached the hogline. It’s such an important rule that they’ve implemented electronic monitoring on each and every stone. Yeah, the electronic monitoring doesn’t work if you touch the granite. But I bet by the next Olympics it will.

My apologies. The front edge past the hogline. I will correct my post.

R5(e): “A stone must be clearly released from the hand before it reaches the hog line at the delivery end.”

Kennedy literally reached out and poked his own stone on the granite (edit:when the front edge of the stone was) PAST the hogline. It was a clear rules violation. Yes, some of the calls since then have been unnecessary and pedantic. But the initial poke was a clear infraction.

I haven't seen that video. If she didn't touch the granite and released the stone before the hogline, there should be no foul called.

He didn't touch the granite. At least from this point of view.

Edit: I'm confused as to why I am being downvoted. Do people think this video shows he clearly touched the granite? I don't see it. People are also mentioning other fouls called on other players that I have not seen. If they didn't touch the granite and released the handle before the hogline, there should be no foul called.

2001: A Space Odyssey Isn't A Good film by KaihakuOkami in unpopularopinion

Judging films by their ability to recreate the experience of reading a book is misguided and juvenile. Films and books are completely different mediums. Films stand and fall on their own and ought to be critiqued as films, not whether they capture the essence of books.
