+1 Faroe Islands

looks like someone got #lawyered

I agree with the content, of course, but respectfully regret to observe that you misspelled “Dook” throughout.

Wait, is there anyone at this ballgame? It’s currently 55° in Pittsburgh, which is maybe not as warm as it could be, but which is hardly awful, either.

No, that’s fair; I’m more than jaded enough that I’m not going to try to talk you out of that healthy skepticism. That said, in this specific instance, the weather was so ridiculous as to basically skew all pre-race expectations. And the dude who won was certainly capable of this.

Sounds like Boston wasn’t... Rupp certified.

“I had the pleasure of sitting there quietly and listening to two completely separate one-sided conversations.”

All very good points. Thanks.

The only thing I disagree with here is this: “They may not remember their exact times down to the second, but NO ONE will mistake a four hour time for under three.”

This changes the validity of your underlying point in no way whatsoever (indeed, if the difference is only 205 meters, that’s even more ridiculous and in fact strengthens your point), but just FYI, the actual distances of the men’s and women’s sprint courses are 1,381m and 1,176m, respectively.

this is a very good take [no, seriously, great point]

Came here to post this about the lie detector test being worse than useless.

This is a good comment that is not getting the love it deserves.

“make sure you buy nipple guards”

In all seriousness, you’re clearly meeting a need for information across multiple fora and genders. Well done.

For sure. Everything I learned about the unpleasant physical aspects of pregnancy I learned from the comments on Jezebel (I mean, I have close female friends, but not “ask them about discharge” close), so in some odd sense this may repay the favor.

I don’t know, everything just sort of, like, retracts while you’re running, so it doesn’t bounce around as much. I mean, not literally retracts into your body (unless your - I guess my - testicles literally do that), but just all sort of scrunches in on itself. I run in running shorts (mesh liner in shorts, no…
