Its amazing what he can do, but I think, over time, that engineering will make blades fast than legs. They’ll get bouncier, or have custom ‘curves’ in their flexing, rebounding, etc. They already appear to be making the last 100m less of an issue, and (maybe) providing for increased top speed? (not really sure about…

They *are* better than legs, unless they’ve figured out some way to apply the burning, searing pain of lactic acid to the blades.

OK everyone. Time to cut off your legs and get a pair of prosthetic running blades. Only way you can compete with these cyborgs amirite?

This should tell you something. From 200 to 400 meters, artificial legs are by far the fastest in the world. It’s only a matter of time until the world record in the 400 is shattered.

I wonder how many people with prosthetics even try to compete.

- lower legs muscles don’t tire
- can push off the end of the blade vs ball of foot for extra leverage
- “longer” lower prosthetic for increased leverage/spring

I don’t know how he does it. He always skips leg day.

Wait, is name is Leeper? Fate does have a sense of irony, I suppose...

HOT TAKE: Having springs for legs is a bigger competitive advantage than being on cocaine when it comes to running fast.

Yes, the prostetics do give him an unfair advantage because unlike his competition, his lower leg muscles will not tire. It’s basically like a cyclist competing with a built in engine to the bicycle. That’s called cheating in cycling and it has the same effects in track an field.

I think the backlash is stupid, but I unfortunately get it (and not condone it). It makes decisions in the Star Wars universe that long term fans really dislike. Which...what does Kelly Marie Tran have to do with it? It’s like the harassment Jake Lloyd got over his portrayal of Anakin.

And dang, the scene in question is literally her hands are bound, and then a generic ‘cpu wipe’ is performed on her.

“Klay, follow up: Keanu Reeves was almost dragged the whole movie down as Don John, but the 2012 film had nothing but Nathan Fillion as Dogberry going for it. Thoughts?”

So a known PED user is 2-19 all-time against Serena, who continues to dominate into her middle thirties despite various weird injuries and once locked herself in a safe room to avoid a drug test. Keep those eyes shut tight, America.

I’m betting daughter finds him and drags him out of the park. William doing whatever he needed to do will probably be the penultimate scene this series, and then.... close on Dolores walking alone through the streets of Tokyo.

She claims that she’s never said a curse word in “real life.”

What’s crazy is both sides (right and left, politically) have sworn to boycott the NFL for the last year or two, both stemming from the anthem protests (for disparate reasons, of course). Yet somehow, nobody seems to actually be tuning out. Buncha bullshitters.

Damn, some lawyer is going to make a killing off you.

It’s almost guaranteed that it’s paternal unit molested it and that it’s paternal unit beats its maternal unit on a routine basis, though the maternal unit could also have been involved in the abuse.

Dragons gonna dragon.
