Wait...we have underwater dancing and gymnastics floor dancing with a twirly thing. I guess this bullshit was inevitable.

This bullshit is a precursor to adding a Talent Contest to the Olympics. Cannot be any worse than the bullshit posted above.

I bet that dude slays pussy.

Obviously a "Selfish Teammate".

Barton Springs dude was in June 2013. I watched the a life guard perform CPR on the guy. I remember that day because it was the last day of school for AISD. I took my middle school daughter and her friends there after school. They saw the body as he was being pulled out. They saw the CPR attempt. The pool was closed shortly after. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2013/06/07/man-pulled-from-barton-springs-pool-remembered-for-positive-attitude/9998887007/ The life guard who later died was in 2016. https://patch.com/texas/downtownaustin/austin-ems-medics-respond-two-barton-springs-rescue-calls-one-day-0 I remember him standing next to the other life guards while one of them performed the CPR on the Barton Springs guy.

I was there when they didn't save a dude. Well, I guess the life guards performing CPR on the side of the pool constitutes as trying to save. The dude drowned in the pool 15 yards directly in front of the life guard stand. Oddly enough, one of the lifeguards on duty at the time later drowned in Barton Creek.

I believe that is the aggy meat judging dude's rude ass mom.

Tre is wise beyond his years. Great video. Show's what kind of person he is but it also give great insight to the team culture that Sark and the players built. This program is built to last. I truly believe that Sark will retire from the UT head coaching job of his own choosing many many years from now.

The brother as he watches the body search.

Damn, dude had a brother competing in the same event and was running around looking for his brother. Video won't like me share at specific time but fast forward to 1:18 of the video. Talks about the brother and the absolute negligence by the "lifeguards". This is going to cost them.

Damn, this is going to cost them. Supposedly a bystander tried to jump in and help but was turned away by a "lifeguard". Whose life was he guarding, exactly? Also, the dipshit "lifeguard" was within 30 yards of the victim. https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2024/08/08/crossfit-games-athlete-lazar-dukic-dies-from-drowning-moments-before-crossing-finish-line-in-tragic-video/

Sounds like it. Why the fuck would they put swimming after anything? The organizers should be neutered to keep that stupidity out of the gene pool.

I would've assumed it was the Panchos Buffet. https://local12.com/news/nation-world/explosive-trap-toilet-restroom-arson-multiple-injuries-after-man-sets-under-seats-in-public-criminal-firework-explosion-bomb SAN ANTONIO (WKRC) - A man was arrested after he was accused of planting multiple explosives under toilet seats in public restrooms, resulting in several injured people. On July 20 authorities responded to a report of an explosion in the bathroom of the Wash Tub, a San Antonio car wash. The arrest affidavit said a security camera caught a suspect entering the unisex bathroom. When the next person entered and used the restroom, a small explosion occurred. Authorities reported one woman was injured by the incident, but she left before an official report could be made. Less than a week later on July 26, a different location of the same Wash Tub chain reported two more explosions. The first explosion injured an employee, and the second injured a young girl almost immediately after. The responding officers found small commercial fireworks designed to ignite under enough pressure beneath the toilet seats. Authorities also said the man caught on the security camera, who was identified as 46-year-old Paul Moses Alden, would remain in the building after leaving the bathroom. He would allegedly watch the bathroom door and leave the area once the explosion occurred. Alden was identified by employees from the Wash Tub, who said he was a regular customer and even had a membership card. Alden is being charged with arson causing reckless damage or bodily injury.

Is poisoning your rival considered cheating? https://www.chess.com/news/view/russian-chess-player-suspended-after-allegedly-poisoning-her-rival Amina Abakarova, a 40-year-old chess coach from Makhachkala in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, is accused of trying to poison her rival, 30-year-old Umayganat Osmanova. The incident unfolded during the Dagestan Chess Championship on August 2, according to a Telegram channel that first reported on the story, and is now making headlines in state-run Russian news media as well as reaching global media as well. Security camera footage shows the incident where Abakarova calmly walked over to the board where Osmanova was supposed to appear 20 minutes later. It was reported that she'd previously asked if cameras were in operation and been told that they weren't. She then smeared what is said to be potentially deadly mercury from a thermometer. Osmanova said she began feeling unwell 30 minutes later, complaining of nausea and dizziness, prompting an immediate call for medical assistance. Doctors eventually concluded that poisoning was a likely cause. After reviewing the footage from security cameras, the arbiter reported it to the police and Abakarova was detained, rtv1.com reports. Osmanova described her ordeal, saying she felt "terrible, disgusting, and morally depressed" when she realized she had been poisoned. She said another player and a member of the organization also became ill. "I still feel bad. In the first minutes, I felt a lack of air and a taste of iron in my mouth. I had to spend about five hours on this board. I don’t know what would have happened to me if I hadn’t seen it earlier," she told Russia Today. Amina Abakarova is suspended after she allegedly poisoned her rival. Photo: Department of Sports, Tourism and Youth Affairs of Makhachkala. Abakarova has reportedly confessed that she wanted to "knock her opponent out of the tournament," admitting "personal hostility" toward Osmanova, who had a week earlier won the Dagestan Rapid Championship above her on tiebreaks. The plan was not to harm Osmanova, but to scare her, according to a police report quoted by Russian media. Abakarova has now been detained by police and is facing up to three years in jail, according to The Mirror. Andrey Filatov, the President of the Russian Chess Federation, has also confirmed that Abakarova is temporarily suspended from Russian chess events, pending an investigation into the incident. She is potentially facing a lifetime ban. Dagestan's Minister of Sport, Sazhida Sazhidova, is also shocked: "Like many others, I am perplexed by what happened, and the motives of such an experienced competitor as Amina Abakarova are incomprehensible. The actions she took could have led to a most tragic outcome, threatening the lives of everyone who was present, including herself. Now she must answer for what she did by the law." Despite falling ill, Osmanova fully recovered and continued the tournament, eventually finishing in second place and winning a prize. Abakarova was expelled after the fourth round and is unlikely to play chess again anytime soon. Crazy bitch. I'm betting there are a few on here who would. Dat ass.

Idiots and money... https://www.torquenews.com/11826/im-trying-sell-my-tesla-cybertruck-18000-loss-i-cant-seem-find-buyers/amp I’m Trying to Sell My Tesla Cybertruck For $18,000 Loss, but I Can’t Seem to Find Buyers A Tesla Cybertruck owner reports that spooked by the falling Cybertruck prices, he decided to sell his vehicle. However, it appears he is struggling to offload the vehicle, even at an $18,000 loss. Pedro Hans is a Tesla Cybertruck AWD owner. After taxes and fees, Pedro paid $110,000 for his Cybertruck. Following this, Pedro has added modifications to his Cybertruck, including a complete wrap and full window tint that cost approximately $6,000. However, to Pedro’s surprise, although his Cybertruck cost him around $116,000, he is not able to find an interested buyer to take the truck off his hands. After listing his truck for sale on Facebook Marketplace, Pedro writes, “Well, we’ve already lost $12k. We paid $110k. Going for $98k or lower now 🤦🏻‍♂️Massive depreciation. I’ll be lucky to get $60k in April.” Pedro listed his Cybertruck on Facebook Marketplace for “$98,000, or the best offer.” However, even though he listed his Cybertruck for $18,000 below the total $116,000 he spent on it, Pedro doesn’t appear to be getting buyers at this price. For anyone who has closely followed the Cybertruck secondary market, this is shocking and emblematic of a wider trend in the Cybertruck world.

Could microplastics be the cause of a rise in cancer in young people? https://www.ft.com/content/491d7760-c329-4f57-9509-0da36bc9e7de Now, scientists at the American Cancer Society have confirmed the trend across a wider range of cancers, with statistics broadly suggesting that a Gen X or Millennial is more likely to develop certain types of the disease than her Baby-boomer parents. Half of the 34 types studied showed a “birth cohort effect”, meaning they are increasingly common among successively younger cohorts. For pancreatic and kidney cancer, for example, the incidence rate among those born in 1990 was two to three times the rate of those born in 1955. Hyuna Sung, an Atlanta-based epidemiologist at the ACS, teamed up with colleagues to dig into American cancer registry data on more than 23mn people who were diagnosed with 34 types of cancer between 2000 and 2019. The researchers also drew on registries recording over 7mn deaths from 24 types of cancer over the same period. The data was sorted according to birth year, with patients grouped in five-year intervals from 1920 to 1990. Previous research by the ACS and other groups has found evidence of several cancers — including colorectal (or bowel), pancreatic, kidney, gallbladder and testicular — rising in the under-50s. Sung and colleagues found that same pattern writ large. Among the new conditions trending upwards in younger generations are cancers of the small intestine, liver cancer in women and anal cancer among men. In some cases, death rates tacked upwards with incidence, including for colorectal, liver (in women) and testicular cancers. “These findings are sobering as they indicate the increased cancer risk in younger generations is not merely an artefact due to more frequent cancer detection and diagnosis,” Sung told me. “Instead, it points to a genuine increase in cancer risk at the population level, with the increase in incidence being substantial enough to outweigh improvements in cancer survival.” Bafflingly, many of the new clinic’s young patients are in good shape, exercise regularly and eat healthily. That is prompting a hunt for environmental carcinogens capable of affecting entire generations. Last year, New Zealand researchers showed that microplastics, now found everywhere and ingested from infancy onwards, could disrupt the gut lining. The prevalence of microplastic pollution since the 1960s — the tiny plastic particles come from consumer products and the breakdown of industrial waste — has the right timeline and might explain the compounding effect between generations, but it needs further investigation.

I asked the same and got responses up thread. Was there for a month in the mountains in between Golden and Boulder. I played... - Fossil Trace (twice) - Must Play - Bear Dance - Must Play - Arrowhead - Must Play - Indian Peaks - Decent course if you are in the area and can't get onto the top 3. Walkable. - Westwood - Avoid. Most par 4 tee shots are 200-220 yards. Very short course. Walkable. - Flatirons - Avoid unless you need a cheap quick round. Walkable. Most everyone I played with suggested Colorado National as a must play. I couldn't make it work but will play there the next time I'm in Denver. I really liked Fossil Trace, Bear Dance and Arrowhead. Those 3 will be on everyone's recommended Must Play list.

This is absolute bullshit but I have a fear that Texas is going "hold my beer" and do some stupid shit like agree to the bullshit claim.

You know there's a rapey problem when an airline will alert women if they are going to sit next to a man on the plane. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/07/indigo-allows-women-to-avoid-booking-seats-next-to-men-on-flights.html India’s biggest budget airline IndiGo has been trialing a booking feature that will allow women to avoid booking a seat next to men on flights. The feature, the first of its kind for an airline, works by showing female travelers a pink seat at the seat selection page if it will be occupied by a female passenger, a company representative told CNBC Travel. Male travelers, however, will not see this information, the company said. An IndiGo representative told CNBC Travel that the new feature is designed to make flying “more comfortable for our female passengers.” Many users on social media platforms X and Reddit commended IndiGo’s new initiative, with some commenting that it is “such good news” after having bad experiences when traveling alone, and they are “glad it is available,” citing personal experiences of being touched on flights.

This is actually quite sad. I bet this crazy bitch and her family believes Pizzagate and all that QAnon bullshit. Russian propaganda is making stupid people dangerous. Fuck this cult of utter dipshits. These assholes are voting. Well, not these specific assholes; thank gawd they are dead. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-mom-claimed-neighbors-pedophiles-tried-killed-authorities-say-rcna165480 A Florida mother whose family is accused of ambushing law enforcement officers, killing one and injuring two, had sought to lure neighbors who she believed were pedophiles into a fatal trap at her home but was interrupted by authorities, law enforcement officials said Monday. A search of the family’s home in Eustis, northwest of Orlando, revealed more than 20 high-caliber rifles, shotguns and pistols that had been staged around the living room, Lake County Sheriff Peyton Grinnell said at a news conference. Authorities also found a stockpile of ammunition, body armor, gas masks, ready-to-eat meals, ghillie (camouflage) suits, anti-government propaganda and media promoting conspiracy theories, Grinnell said. "This was nothing short of an ambush. The evidence will show that," Bill Gladson, state attorney for Florida's Fifth Judicial Circuit, told reporters. Her husband, Michael Sulpizio, was found dead in the family’s home Friday after, Grinnell said, he fatally shot Lake County Master Deputy Bradley Link, 28, and critically injured a second officer, Deputy First Class Stefano Gargano. A third officer, Master Deputy Sheriff Harold Howell, was also wounded. Michael Sulpizio and the couple’s two adult daughters were all found dead on the family’s couch, Grinnell said. The body camera on Link, the fatally injured deputy, who was inside the family’s home when he was shot multiple times, appeared to have captured the Sulpizios taking their own lives, Grinnell added. The sheriff's office first responded to the scene at 7:45 p.m. Friday, when authorities were told that a woman — later identified as Julie Sulpizio — was assaulting her neighbors, whom she accused of "being sinners," and saying, 'I know what you did,'" Grinnell said. After an officer arrived, Julie Sulpizio identified herself as "Helen under God's will" and said her neighbors were involved in pedophilia, Grinnell said. One of the neighbors told the officer that Julie Sulpizio had tried to get them to walk to her house, Grinnell said, but that they didn't trust her. In a later interview with investigators, Sulpizio said she was trying to lure them to her home so her husband could kill them, Grinnell said. "She was not successful because of our deputies," he said. A detective investigating the case said at the news conference that investigators found bumper stickers, fliers and handouts promoting anti-government propaganda and conspiracy theories at the home. The detective did not say whether the material is linked to the incident. In her interview with investigators, the detective said, Sulpizio said that she could “visualize souls” and that it was her job to bring her husband “dark souls.” After Sulpizio was handcuffed, Grinnell said, deputies tried to conduct a welfare check at her family's nearby home. Officers found two dead dogs in the front yard and a window screen that had been kicked out, he said. Inside, they saw three people running and believed a burglary or a home invasion may have been in progress, he said. After roughly an hour, Grinnell said, the deputies announced themselves and failed to reach anyone side. They entered the home through a laundry room, Grinnell said, and Link's body camera captured a man who appeared to be wearing body armor positioned with a rifle on a couch. The gunman, believed to be Michael Sulpizio, fired several rounds, striking Link in the back, Grinnell said. Howell was hit in the wrist, Grinnell said, and he and other deputies retreated. When officers tried to negotiate with the Sulpizios for the release of Link's body, Grinnell said, a woman in the home was captured on the deputy's body camera racking her gun and yelling, "My king will kill all of you." Around 9:30 p.m., a tactical unit entered through the laundry room and was met with a volley of gunfire, Grinnell said. Deputy First Class Stefano Gargano, who had a ballistics shield, was struck with multiple high-caliber rounds through a wall, incapacitating him, Grinnell said. As other deputies tried to remove him, they were being "actively engaged by suspects," Grinnell added, calling the officers "heroes." At 11:02 p.m., Grinnell said, two gunshots were heard in quick succession. A third one was heard moments later. Inside, authorities found the bodies of Michael Sulpizio and the two daughters, Savannah Sulpizio, 23, and Cheyenne Sulpizio, 22, Grinnell said. Gargano is stable and Howell is expected to make a full recovery. Link was airlifted to a hospital and pronounced dead, Grinnell said. The sheriff’s office said Link had worked for the department since 2019 and "quickly became part of our family and faithfully served our citizens with courage and zeal."

Taking trash to dumpster, need gun to protect himself from trashcan pandas. Something about this doesn't sound quite right. https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2024/08/06/man-taking-trash-to-dumpster-with-gun-slips-shoots-and-kills-self-accidentally-police-say/ SAN ANTONIO – A man taking his trash to an apartment dumpster was shot and killed after he slipped while walking and the gun he was carrying went off accidentally, according to San Antonio police. Officers were called just before 6 a.m. to the 12400 block of Starcrest Drive, not far from Jones Maltsberger Road after receiving word of a person wounded. According to police, a man in his 50s or 60s was walking to a nearby dumpster while carrying both his trash and a gun. That’s when, police say, the man slipped in a wet area and somehow the gun went off, wounding him the chest. Police said the man, however, continued to walk down the hill to the dumpster where he was later found. He was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, where he later died. SAPD said investigators found a gun near the trash bags.

https://www.kxan.com/2024-olympics/what-will-olympic-discus-champ-valarie-allman-do-to-celebrate-gold-go-all-out-on-barbecue/ AUSTIN (KXAN) — Valarie Allman launched her fourth throw in the women’s discus competition nearly 70 meters to repeat as Olympic champion Monday at Stade de France. Allman’s winning mark of 69.50 meters (about 228 feet) was two meters further than silver medalist Bin Feng of China, and this one felt a lot different for Allman than her win in Tokyo. Allman lives in Austin, Texas, and trains with University of Texas at Austin throwing coach Zeb Sion. Allman is also a volunteer assistant coach with the Longhorns. When she gets back to the Texas capital, she said she’s going to celebrate in the most Texas way possible — eat a lot of barbecue at one of Central Texas’ most popular spots. “I’m so excited to get back. I’m going to Terry Black’s to celebrate and eat a pound of brisket,” she said. “I can’t wait to go all out there.” Terry Black’s posted a congratulations on its story in response and said, “We’re honored and can’t wait to celebrate with you! Let the party begin!”
