You’d have to play to understand, but the gist is that if the ball is coming down at an angle with spin, it’s difficult to properly take because

“With algae coming out of their whatevers. Sad.”

Their main professional league is sponsored by the International Chiropractic Institute.

I think the really interesting part will be how they interact with each other. I suspect that the piloting the course is easy, but responding to other cars on the optimal line will be the tricky part.

I’ll definitely give it a watch.

“Their comments section is basically the same 35 people who constantly circle jerk the same topics and inside jokes, in between spewing hate towards anything that doesn’t resemble a diesel stick shift Miata wagon.”

I tried to, but it was the first cross country race I’ve ever seen where an african didn’t win so I got confused.

To be fair to Yakovlev, there is absolutely no way to get back into a racing scull gracefully. Things are squirrely as fuck, and you don’t even get to use both hands because you absolutely have to keep a hand on the oar handles or the whole thing will go back over again in a heartbeat.

I’ll bet the rest of the galactoids are super pissed that the Interstellar Olympic Comission gave the games to KIC 8462852 and now the star-ball arena is behind schedule and all of the space rowers have to paddle in lanes with WAY more dark matter than the rest of the universe agrees is safe for a million year…

Is rowing (crew, not canoe/kayak) inherently douchey in the same way that lacrosse is? I started rowing at a local club and the people seem cool so far, but it’s sort of in the back of my mind that if I decide to take it seriously, all of a sudden people named “Thad” and “Chadwick” will appear in my life.

Is it…

Which is just fine! I think the cops do a great job at catching the douches while leaving the rest of us alone. Now they have a formal code to write on the ticket they give the bozos, but the system stays in place because it works.

I’m OK with this.

Dramatic reenactment:

so given the best possible case (70 mil a year in benefit vs 800m initial investment, none of which comes from bonds on which you owe interest [PSHAW!!!]) they’d break even in like 12 years?

Seems legit. No chance they’ll pull this same scam again for 12 years, right?

The best part is that he writes it in a diary afterwards.

I would guess that banning caffeine would essentially be the end of esports, both from a competitor and sponsorship dollars standpoint, so that’s out.

E.S.L. appears to be basing their lists off the WADA recommendations, so my guess is that any prescription only drugs like adderall or modafinil are probably on the list…

I would argue that the logical extension to the above transitive property of bearness is that any physical location on which a bear chooses to deposit is, by definition, “the woods”.

Isn’t a bear’s current location always where he belongs? It’s sort of a transitive property of bearness.

This is actually sort of sad- the inside man is one of my go-to’s for things I’ve seen a million times but re-watch every now and then.
