  1. Vertigo is an inner ear issue that causes dizziness. The twisties, on the other hand, is a loss of confidence and a mental issue where the mind and body aren't in sync and there is fear that one won't land properly.
  2. I don't remember her ever being diagnosed with vertigo. The only thing medical that I am aware of is that she took medications for ADHD. As for 4 years ago, she fell, lost her confidence, had anxiety issues and stopped competing. It isn't that that in itself is terrible for a person, and it is totally understandable and forgivable. However, it does preclude talk of being the greatest of all time when it happens in someone's prime and in the only big stage in women's gymnastics. I never saw it happen to Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Earl Campbell, Usaine Bolt, Muhammed Ali, or practically anyone else you may consider the greatest of all time. With that said, it is only my opinion. And I couldn't care any less about her legacy, your opinion of her, or your opinion of me based on my opinion of her. The only reason I brought it up is that HenryJames claimed that it is racist to not like her. Quite frankly I found that one of the dumbest comments in the history of the internet.
  3. She has the likeability of Lance Armstrong. She fell, lost her confidence and quit on her team so, she is like the anti-Michael Jordan. She has zero humility. And she is from Columbus - OhiO.
  4. If he somehow didn't play MLB, he would probably end up at LB.
  5. I just hope Suni Lee wins gold so I don't have to hear about Simone Biles being the GOAT, anymore.
  6. I can't believe that was from a bicycle battery. I've had a car battery explode on me and it just put some holes in my shirt. This seems worse.
  7. 6'2" 330lb 0-technique DT.
  8. Still - "His remarks came as he asked the commissioners to raise the salaries of eight of his assistants to $95,000 each to retain them". Are we talkin' secretaries or assistant DAs?
  9. I spoke with a strategic command guy late last year and he said he was more concerned about sleeper cells than Russia. What was worrisome is that he sounded like he had intelligence.
  10. While Russia isn't competent they were a threat. And still are against smaller countries. Further, no one wants a nuclear war.
  11. Great - with colleges starting to open for the fall semester.
  12. A cratered field, a mangled fence. Clues emerge from strike that killed 12 children in Golan Heights By JULIA FRANKEL and SARAH EL DEEB Updated 11:56 AM CDT, July 30, 2024 JERUSALEM (AP) — Two days after a rocket slammed into a soccer field in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights, killing 12 children, many questions remain about the attack on the Druze town of Majdal Shams. Israel accused Hezbollah in Lebanon of deliberately targeting civilians, while the Lebanese militant group quickly issued a rare denial of any responsibility for the attack. With Israel vowing retaliation for what was the highest civilian death toll in Israel-held territory since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel, diplomats rushed to prevent an escalation that could spiral into an all-out war after months of exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah over the Lebanese-Israeli border. Weapons experts told The Associated Press that evidence points to a rocket from Lebanon hitting the field. But they raised the possibility that the hit on civilians was an accident. Here’s what we know and what remains unclear about the attack. The strike The strike left a crater about 2 meters (yards) wide, breaking through the carpet of artificial grass where the children were playing. Around it were scattered burned-out bicycles and scooters, some electric bikes with their batteries melted. Walls of a nearby tent and shelter were pockmarked from shrapnel.
  13. Chinese women shouldn't play with samurai swords. They should have stuck with scissoring.
  14. Has Lole practiced yet as a Longhorn?
  15. The bigger, underlying problem in places like Venezuela is a non-diversified economy that doesn't require many workers and a very large and fast growing population.
  16. Not even close. Brisket and I were talking about what brings guys like Chavez, Hitler, Stalin, Ho Chi Min, The Ayatollah, Castro etc. into power.
  17. I'd love to earn a little more about this, but unfortunately I don't cloak and cloak isn't a learning environment anyway. It is always the young left that overthrows governments, but the governments that follow are just as likely to be right as they are left. It's an interesting phenomena that in my slightly uninformed opinion is due to people wanting change but latching onto whatever strongman is present at the time. Obviously, it could be attributed to the horseshoe effect but there is more going on (maybe extremists are more gullible or maybe extremists just want change without understanding or caring about what that change is).
  18. Nice job correcting for the wind - a little like hitting the green on a windy day in Scotland.
