  1. yeah, my point is that even 40 yards is plenty of time/distance to separate out who's faster and in better shape. 400 yards seems excessive but hey, if you can get it it should make it easier.
  2. there would no difference in the 40 and 400 as the better in-shape 'athlete' would win regardless of height, imo. i am an expert because my roommate at UT was on the track team and ran the 400 hurdles. If the tall guy added the hurdles to the race, then you being a manlet would come into play but otherwise you should be in the clear to win by a convincing margin.
  3. Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom dinner reception scene would start Planet of the Apes for sure This story is just fascinating; are the monkey being vindictive and know they are going overboard? Are they just completely eliminating a threat that killed one of their infants? Where's Koko when you need her to ask these hard-hitting questions? We know killer whales are yuge assholes and supreme dicks and kill shit for fun.
  4. doggocide aside, that's actually pretty badass of the monkeys. i mean, how human is taking revenge waaaaaay too far? better keep an eye on this pack and see if they start walking upright, drinking IPAs and starting conspiracy theory websites claiming that cats actually killed the infant monkeys and framed the dogs
  5. pretty damn funny. although in my head i say HOED-EL when i read it.
  6. lol, all they will do is double the sub price for citizens in the cities that have sued (if they should win). Is the city going to sue the big 3 letter broadcast companies as well since they all have streaming services? does anyone have a link to the actual statute? Is this some ancient law stemming from a Ma Bell agreement? Streaming is an amenity for your citizens so yeah, the cities should be expected to give a little fair use for public land so we can have nice things.
  7. Ewers talk not going away. JFC, can we get back lauding Charlie Strong?
  8. that's the issue. there is a non-zero number of people that care and are affected. The number on both sides probably rounds to zero. i am woefully ignorant of the issues surrounding this. On one hand, forcing transgender women to train, travel and compete with/against men is not cool and probably overly stressful. But competitive advantages have to be looked at. From the NCAA Transgender Handbook on competitive advantage for Female competitors The standard set for transgender athletes to compete in their desired side of the sport (male or female) is to complete 1 year of hormone therapy and then they can proceed. Females ID'ing a male can compete on Men's team with or without testosterone augmentation. Males ID'ing female cannot compete on the women's team without a hormone therapy. Based on https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/inclusion/lgbtq/INC_TransgenderHandbook.pdf - so from above #1 - no idea the % of transgender athletes in the ncca that underwent hormonal therapy prior to puberty but it has to be shockingly small. - #2 it's non point. yes, ALL (as in 100% in the world) male bodied are not taller, stronger etc... But law of averages says that most males at the same age/fitness level would have advantages. - #3 RE: the bolded part. i think we are seeing evidence of this. still very few instances to make assumptions on though. There does not seem a fair and equitable answer to make everyone whole. I think they should just continue down the path that they are on until a point where if/when the outliers start to become the norm, then some competitive rebalance may be needed.
  9. my wife has a wallet and knows how to use seed phrases. both kids have mm accounts but are not super savvy about how they work just yet, but they are in middle school. all pw and seed phrases are in a safe, but still need to go and list the credentials/pw/2fa for the centralized exchanges. I think stuff like this will be rolled into what should be a burgeoning tax/accounting service for crypto. after i get hit by a bus, i think my fam could at least find my crypto stuff. whether they would sell my animal jpegs for pennies on the dollar is another story.
  10. unless this was that guy 3 minutes earlier really not sure what, besides bloodthirsty cop, to warrant the scooter driver's execution.
  11. nice! how is BYOP doing? i remember that mint. it was not a quick a flip. i remember grinding like hell to turn a small profit. all the traits were hard tell what was rare
  12. yeah, i just assumed that too. I actually followed through and gave it away, lol. it was interesting. I am not a big twitter guy with a handful of followers. I think i gained ~35 new followers to get to 140ish. so 38% increase on a $200 NFT (that i got for a few pennies in MATIC fees).
  13. saw a scam that happens on these giveaways. if the winner is announces, someone creates a similar handle and DMs the prize giver. Then gets the prizegiver to send the NFT (or set up a zero cost private auction on OS) to their address. so many scammers out there it's crazy.
  14. yo i am giving away a free Crypto Raider nft. giving surly a heads up here i am no shit up $50K on this project. gaming nfts are booming right now.
  15. sounds worse that a vegan crossfitter. no one fucking cares.
  16. we should never have a president/senator elected in their 70s. it's fucking stupid and asking for trouble. don't care which party. But it's good to be laughing at this type of shit again.
  17. bailed mid 4th when it was tied. guessing we lost. LA forced the ball to go to WCS near the FT line and he made a few good plays/decisions but it largely succeeded in getting the ball out of Luka's hands and worked overall in limiting what the Mavs were doing on offense. The parade of bricks from 3 were not helping either. That one sequence where we went missed 3, Of rebound, missed 3, Of rebound, missed 3 was stellar. first game i have watched for more that 5 mins in a while.
  18. I work for a huge corp and they cited the EO for federal contractor and subs to adopt vaccine mandates. Either get vaxxed by x date, submit a reasonable accommodation request or get fucked. Set early Jan as date for all employees returning to office. They are allowing 2 days/wk to WFH. Used to be 1 day a week, but i never did it.
  19. Tried to dress her up as the Loki crocodile variant. There was an attempt
  20. why is Brain Davis getting hard over this game? /nokinkshame
