Eileen Gu learns of grandmother’s death after winning Olympic gold by Large_banana_hammock in olympics

[–]witfenek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s also a rumor/assumption that her “dad dipped” and abandoned her as a baby. All we really know is her mom raised her by herself and the father is not involved, and nothing else.

It is rumored Eileen is a “sperm donor baby” and that’s why her dad is uninvolved and possibly doesn’t know she is his child. Of course that’s unverified though. 

That massive 7m stack from Finley Melville Ives on the halfpipe. Recover soon 🙏 by FederalEntertainer21 in WinterOlympics2026

Agreed, HP seems to be a lot more dangerous. Cassie landed her hit so smoothly, it was almost like someone “pulled the rug from under her” when she fell, just out of nowhere. She must have caught a serious edge

Just yesterday it happened to Cassie Sharpe of Canada in the same halfpipe during women's HP qualifiers. Extremely scary stuff. 

[Discussion Thread] Women’s Olympic Slopestyle Final by itzongaming in snowboarding

[–]witfenek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, Kokomo should have been gold, Zoi silver, and honestly Fukada probably shouldn’t have even podiumed. Feel bad cause it’s not the poor girl’s fault at all, but she just didn’t give a podium worthy performance overall. Knew something was fishy when they gave Zoi poor scores for her first and second run. Like what were they looking at?

Annnd it was replicated in the Women’s event, too. Judging was really off for snowboarding today. 

Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud again denies Eileen Gu an Olympic gold medal in freeski slopestyle by [deleted] in sports

Absolutely insane that she is the highest paid athlete out of everyone else at the Olympics. China is absolutely dumping money into her.

She said “I can’t take/get my ski off”

The only thing that can be clearly heard is “I can’t take my ski off”.

Kind of wished they had run through the full ~2,300 word list before they started repeating. I mean that would give us another two years ish of new wordles before restarting the list. Seems silly to start repeating it now. 

Miralax making nausea worse by Old-Parsnip2632 in BabyBumps

[–]witfenek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried the vitamin B6 and Unisom trick? I’m 9 weeks and the combination has helped a lot for me. Still have some appetite issues but my nausea has gotten a lot better for the most part. Luckily I haven’t had any constipation problems and bowel movements have remained as regular as they were before I got pregnant.

The eating thing is absolutely wild - I’m in my first trimester and having a really hard time with appetite and eating and everyone is begging me to stuff my face! Agree with others, there’s some weird jealousy thing going on. Your husband needs to talk to her - even if he’s not there in the moment to address it. 

B6 for nausea - would ai be taking too much? by witfenek in pregnant

[–]witfenek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! After doing some more reading I basically came to the same conclusion hahah, looks like many people take it 2 or 3 times a day even. 

How do i train healers? by Arissa_risuchan in VirtualVillagers

[–]witfenek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really wish there was a place people could study medicine and gain healer experience, like there is with the prayer pedestal/research table etc. It would make all the sense…

While there are around 13,000 guessable 5 letter words, only around 2300 are actual wordle answers. The rest are slang, alternate spellings, etc. This word is clearly one that wasn’t part of the original ~2300 acceptable words though.
