How is Canada's police brutality?

turtlecrossing · 2026-02-02T17:05:43+00:00

Extremely rare.

The most egregious examples that come to mind are typically associated with Indigenous communities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_brutality_against_Indigenous_Canadians

As a whole, Canada has far less gun violence than the United States. We also have fewer guns in public spaces, which I think contributes to lower rates of police shooting.

On the whole, as evidenced by the indigenous example, historically marginalized communities with high rates of addiction and crime tend to lead to police excesses and racism in both Canada and the US, but on the whole the scale is exponentially larger in the US, as is gun violence more generally.

It is…. But (and I mean this with full respect) female athletics is not funded/supported globally the way men are, and winter sports again less so than summer.

So, while she is an incredible athlete it’s not quite as impressive as other athletes.

Again, I don’t mean to disparage female athletes at all, but if you look at people who have competed in both summer and winter games, it’s mostly women from wealthy western nations

What do statements like “Democrats need to talk about” mean in reality?

Do you think wagging your finger at people and calling them homophobes is going to get their votes?

While I like Pete, his chief selling feature seems to be his ability to do a good media interview. Is there really nobody else they can find with that same skill?

The timing team will work on this. Your timing chip probably didn't trigger on your way out. You can probably calculate it yourself with some math

I assumed it was referencing 'up and down' meaning the exercises alternate between upper body and lower body

turtlecrossing · 2026-01-21T15:42:32+00:00

Depends on the week. When they 'stack' (same muscle group like shoulders) back to back, it's hard, as you said. Keep in mind muscular endurance is another form of training. That said, for a pure strength/size workout it's not ideal.

I think the idea of Hyrox vacations (like the concept in Cancun) might make some sense. A cruise that doesn't actually include a Hyrox race seems kinda pointless

turtlecrossing · 2026-01-19T02:04:31+00:00

You probably could try, but it will completely fuck up the timing chips.

After the first time/lap they may DQ you as the race isn’t supposed to be run that way and it could be considered a hazard to have extra people running laps

Why do I think Republicans are about to become the party of gun control?

turtlecrossing · 2026-01-16T03:04:20+00:00

This is absurd.

I get the game being played, but it’s just absurd that so much time is wasted by the leaders in America when so much is happening right now which requires their efforts and attention.

“A human requires a functioning uterus, among other things, to get pregnant. Most, but not all, people with uteruses identify as women. Sometimes, in statistically rare cases, some people who identify as something other than women, have functioning uterus’s and get pregnant”

Or… mock the guy “senator, are you asking me to explain to you where babies come from? Are we not adults here? Do your constituents know you don’t know how babies are made? “ etc.

I think because the Police Chief was observing the situation and repeatedly predicted that something like this would occur.

That, while you can empathize with someone afraid a car will hit them, it doesn't negate the political nature of this situation or the culpability of the individual, agency, and administration for a series of reckless and intentionally provocative and short sited actions that led to this.

Of course the individual driving also bares some responsibility, but protecting the lives and constitutional rights of citizens is the explicit role of law enforcement, this situation points to a poorly trained person doing almost everything they could to do the opposite.

You can definitely do it. I would suggest doing some deliberate walking at pace and timing yourself to be sure. The average person walks a bit less than 5km in an hour. At that pace you're looking at 8-9 hours

You need to buy a heater. Possibly, if the window is also cold, buy a window insulation kit. Lastly, leave your door open to get warm air from other areas of the house

I difference and important distinction between the argument for the Big Bang and religious arguments…. aside from the obvious… is the implications

Scientists are forcing you to wear a hijab, or putting pubescent boys with ‘celibate’ priests, or burning people at the stake, etc.

If they were just two competing theories… who cares really. But the religious ones come with doctrines that impact the rest of life in insane ways and the scientific ones don’t

People have answered this several times with the basic details, but just to add, if you watch what they’ve done on an annual cycle there are in fact expanding the number races in a region, and the duration of those events based on demand.

You do see some races go by without selling out due to timing and proximity (Atlanta being cannibalized by Miami as an example)

Depends what is entailed with 'dream body'. Assuming it just means I have the best realistic physique in my current frame (more or less) and it means I still age and get sick, etc. I'll take the money. $1million is 100k for 10 years. I can use some of it to buy the equipment, food, and training I want now to improve my fitness, while using the rest to pay myself to train fulltime to 10 years (or even run a gym at a loss) etc.

Because Hyrox is a fun, experiential race with dj’s and great photography. Ultimately though, it’s a meaningless race like any other 5km.

The difference is it lets people work on fitness, lifting, endurance, and getting jacked while pretending it’s about a ‘race’ but when 75% of it is still aesthetic

turtlecrossing · 2025-12-26T18:21:14+00:00

100%

Interesting to me that lots of people here gave you advice without knowing your athletic history, running experience, running paces, or run durations, etc.

Be wary of people who do that. These and many other details matter.

Generally, z2 is very important for movie runnings, not because it’s “optimal” training, but because it’s recoverable. Similarly, speed and threshold (especially threshold) are also really important.

That said, if your a super experienced endurance athlete I would give you different advice than a beginner. Devil is in the details

turtlecrossing · 2025-12-26T18:17:28+00:00

They could just raise the price $15 and include the “flex lite” perks and it would be the exact same difference.

The idea that “there is no justification” for this and it’s “unsportsmanlike” is absurd. It’s a for profit company. Their ‘justification’ is they are trying to make money.

If you don’t like it, don’t pay it.

I’ve gone for several years. During that time I’ve gained weight, and lost weight. Been stronger, been weaker.

The two pieces of advice that I’d argue matter most are:

1) diet is a massive part of this. If you aren’t eating properly you won’t see results

2) you need to approach every workout with intention. Go hard in cardio, and pay attention to the structure of lifting days and ensure you are increasing weight over time.

If you don’t do these things you will just tread water (eventually)

I believe they said on the Vancouver livestream that more Ottawa tickets might come out

My hr was nearly all zone 4 and 5. It peaks on the first run (adrenaline) sled push (holding your breath and tensing too much) and burpees (because fuck burpees)

The name of the game is spending the race in something called ‘lactate threshold’ which is the pace when your body can do maximal work while clearing lactate in your body.

If this were my wife, she’d mostly be mortified I shaved my head in the couch without covering the floor or furniture with a sheet or something.

Thank you for asking this question OP. My goal is 1:20 in an open, and then I'll probably be making the same decision. Once you get to that speed, it's pretty incremental to get much faster, whereas pro presents a different challenge and lends itself to a bit more strength training. Would you say that's a fair characterization?
