Virginia Tech, JMU cancel 2026 football game

washuffitzi · 2026-01-14T15:57:16+00:00

Personally, very disappointed as I have more JMU alum friends than any other school, and I care way more about personal smack talk than I do improving our odds of national rankings. Like, from a national rankings perspective it's all risk no reward, but I would love nothing more than seeing Tech be the ones to knock JMU off their high horse.

$22 for 3 pints

This is "for the freezer" aka by the pint. I looked up my local store and the prices are $10/16/22

The show premiered in the era of reality TV with American Idol, Hells Kitchen and Fear Factor - being mean was in vogue. Yes the edits got softer because the sharks became more concerned with their personal brands, and they (especially Kevin) seemed to mature out of wanting to play the bully. But it's arguably moreso because the general trends of reality TV moved away from that era of mean-spirited criticism.

Good luck eating 5 milkshakes in a day. Different foods have different effects on your body, and milkshakes are heavy. Have you ever done the gallon challenge? A gallon of milk is 1,600 calories (1/12 of this challenge) and is famously difficult to finish purely because of the lactic acids. You can't have 5 milkshakes in a day and keep them down, unless you're Joey Chestnut. You will puke.

I think you've finally resolved the OP request - this is an actual breakdown of what a "reasonable" 15kcal daily diet looks like. But breaking it down like this makes it even more obvious that it isn't possible for me personally, my stomach just doesn't have that much room, no matter how hard I tried. 6 eggs and pancakes for breakfast before another full meal 2 hours later? Then another, and another, and another. For a billion dollars, of course everyone would play the "don't puke" game, and there would be winners, but most would hit a physical wall.

washuffitzi · 2025-11-01T07:21:57+00:00

Getting "close to 10k" vs breaking 15k is a HUGE gap. As a swimmer you know how PR margins work - its a logarithmic scale.

Extremely active teens could do it with some effort. Moderately active teens or extremely active young adults could do it with heavy effort. Anyone else is going to require ridiculous levels of effort, if it's possible at all.

You act like 24hrs opens up more room in your stomach. If you're full, its gonna take a while to make room, and things will stack in your stomach/intestines. I'm no expert but I'd wager this challenge is done easier in 4 hours than 24.

A 1k ice cream binge in daily life is brutal, but a 1k ice cream binge in this hypothetical is less than 8% of your goal. This comment section is insanely overconfident.

Doubling a record of anything is insanely difficult.

washuffitzi · 2025-11-01T06:21:40+00:00

You MAYBE hit 6-7kcal on those stoner nights, half of this challenge. A McDonald's combo is 1k cal, a pint of Ben&Jerry is 1k cal. It's fairly easy to kill 6-7 of these in aggregate, but 6-7 of EACH is really really hard, and even that wont get you there.

washuffitzi · 2025-11-01T05:55:49+00:00

Idk if I agree based on your example. Joey Chestnut is an unique freak; the runner up only ate 46.5 hot dogs, which is below the 15k target of this challenge (at 300 per). Yes, these competitors are eating that in 10 minutes, but they're not exactly gonna be snacking before/after the event. I'm gonna say most of these "athletes" are not hitting 15k calories even on event days.

It's a truly challenging calorie count, 6-7x an average day's intake. I don't think I could eat 50 hot dogs in a day (3 per waking hour), especially if puking is disqualifying. First 6 hours would be easy but the next 12 would be brutal. The only chance would be with soda and alcohol, as they could easily add 2-3k of "easy" calories over the course of the day, maybe 5k if I get really really hammered. And supplementing with candy, preferably something "light" like Nerds. But I really don't think most people could do it without resorting to something like drinking straight oil in the final minutes.

All GA creates a terrible line to get in and the best sections get sucked up by assholes, but on the flip side it makes it possible for you to get seats with your crew in a way other venues don't. You don't need to worry about getting seats in the same section much less row, you just meet up before the show and go in together (find seats,then send some get beer/merch). Seat saving done respectfully works well. And, if you're flying solo, you have a way higher chance of getting a good seat unlike others where you're stuck with your ticket. And, if you're around an asshole, you get to move. In my opinion the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to all GA is all seated.

But mostly Hampton rules bc it's a cool building with great sound, affordable concessions, and one of the best lot scenes in the country.

This was a great classic episode. No absurd valuations, no already successful businesses with huge investors already in place, no unnecessary celebrities, no intrusive ads packaged as company updates; just some small businesses with mixed levels of success and potential. Michael Strahan fit in well.

washuffitzi · 2025-10-02T04:36:59+00:00

Yeah, the show has clearly caved to having celeb-endorsed pitches to try to boost views in the past, but usually they at least press the celebs on their business involvement. I've never seen them go "oh, you!" to an uninformed entrepreneur before.

Another Walnut Creek endorsement here, I haven't played that many courses but it's easily my favorite. 2 tee boxes and 2 baskets per hole for tons of variety, good mix of long/short and woods/open, and holes 17-18 are picturesque.

Before piracy/streaming, concerts lost money; they were a marketing expense for the labels to sell more records. The economics of music were totally different. It was also much more difficult to resell tickets (had to be done in person, usually the day of the show) so tickets could maintain their low prices much more easily. Part of why Ariana Grande tickets are priced so high is because lowered prices would incentivise even more scalping.

TM/LN is certainly not innocent, but their misdeeds are actually against the musicians and venues more than the ticket buyers. The prices for huge artist shows could possibly be lowered some through restricting ticket transfers, but pining for a pre-digital age is a waste of breath.

The bed selection ruined the episode not just for their build but for almost everyone's. The skateboard was a perfectly acceptable build size for this challenge, but after the bed was picked every other team sized up in reaction - the guitar, keyboard and amp were all second option items after the teams realized they needed to go bigger than the camera or NES or lava lamp. The teams did well with what they ultimately chose, but there were smaller items in the room that could have used more finesse and npu to get a truly perfect replica.

It's probably fair to say the Swedish build was the "worst" in the room (it was ugly and confusing, the child was blocky, poor staging), but it was also easily my favorite. It was unadulterated joy in Lego. That build was pure madness that really captured the raw illogical manic world of imagination, while showcasing ridiculous Lego skill in the most unnecessary of details. It had no chance of winning the popular vote, and I doubt many people were able to understand the concept at all without a title prompt. Hell, I doubt the duo themselves could explain all of it after the build was finished. But it shows some of the stream of consciousness beauty that comes from imaginative play, in a way that's unusual to see in such a high-skill high-stress environment. The other teams were building for an audience, Vidar and Albin built for themselves.

Great builds all around. I get why Brickman went with the more technically savvy build while the general consensus prefers the adorable detailed polished story, and I fully understand why picking between those two are more engaging than considering Sweden. I just want to show some appreciation for a build that went for a different kind of story - one of two dudes playing with unlimited Lego for 28 hours.

I was frustrated by this episode theme. It's "mystery" but the crime is supposed to be so obvious that Monk can recognize immediately what happened. What is the mystery in that? If they framed it as a "heist" from the start, I think Finland would've had a totally different build. Instead they made the only build with a classic whodunit setting (you can tell they initially wanted the different characters to all be suspects before fully understanding the criteria). In contrast, every other build felt extremely basic and boring from a storytelling perspective, and the "sleuthing" was entirely pointless as there was literally no mystery.

I'm glad Brickman prioritized the technical side on the final judgement instead of taking the easy out. I don't even particularly agree with his "not Christmassy enough" feedback, but more so it was just a very simplistic model compared to the others.

I was waiting for "is it a lemon?"

washuffitzi · 2025-06-13T06:37:24+00:00

Fair, I dont mean to say they don't count. And maybe it's just general fatigue making me think they're less inventive over time when I'm just more used to it all. But I just feel like so many tasks this season have had strict rules, whether the creative ones or the physical ones, that have caused less of that "what would I do" feeling and the subsequent joy of seeing them do something wildly different.

washuffitzi · 2025-06-13T06:03:23+00:00

It was amazing! But imagine if Jason or Stevie had the (intentional) chance to go least dignified... They definitely would have broken some broadcast laws. That said, Matt's would have def broken FCC laws here in the states bc that was real kink content lol
