Nah, watching two men hug for 10 rounds is way more exciting than actually boxing.

Can someone help me with the plate? CFOGD?

It wasn't until this video that we realized my father-in-law is the Carl Lewis of turtle walking.

I don't disagree. The question is are the Olympics a competition of sports? To me sports require athleticism and physicality, if stamina doesn't figure in IMO it's not a sport. To that extent curling, shooting as archery are not sports, but race walking, as odd as it is, is, even though archery and shooting at least superficially feel more "Olympic".

I guess my point is I can see all of these fitting in the Olympics and it comes down to a question of participation and interest among competitors, and probably more important today, viewers.

Have you watched the original video? Very Ska horn.

MOVE GET OUTTA THE WAY

From the wiki:

There are only two rules that govern racewalking.[4][5] The first dictates that the athlete's back toe cannot leave the ground until the heel of the front foot has touched. Violation of this rule is known as loss of contact. The second rule requires that the supporting leg must straighten from the point of contact with the ground and remain straightened until the body passes directly over it. These rules are judged by the unaided human eye. Athletes regularly lose contact for a few milliseconds per stride, which can be caught on film, but such a short flight phase is said to be undetectable to the human eye.

I think you make a great point about it not being a natural gait, I think that's why so many of us are just WTF. Its a competition that's predicated on an unnatural constraint, kind of like trying to make someone run with a pebble in their shoe, making them hop in a burlap sack or tying their leg to a teammate.

As silly as it might look, apparrently race walking is grueling so I'm sort of on the fence whether or not it's sport and/or if it belongs in the Olympics, which apparently it's been there since 1904.

Hell, apparently there's doping in race walking and I'm not talking about competitors over dosing on laxatives before race time, actual anabolic steroid doping.

At the heart of the Olympics is competition. Billiards, darts, horsehoes, and other games of skill are not unlike archery or shooting so I can sort of understand their consideration as Olympic events.

The most amazing thing about racewalking as an Olympic event, it's apparently been part of the Olympics since 1904. I've been on this planet a while, 10-some-odd Olympics worth, and yes I've heard of it as a sport before (probably because of Malcolm), but I can say I have absolutely ZERO recollection of this ever being in the Olympics.

I think many of us are WTF about racewalking because it seems like such an artificial constraint; run as fast as you can, but do it like this with a very odd an unnatural gait. It only seems logical that maybe sack races, three legged races and egg and spoon racing get their fair shot at the Olympics as well.

I remember years ago when I moved to California being amazed how people would just step off a curb assuming that the drivers would stop. No look both ways, no look for the drivers eyes to see if they see you, just step off the curb safe in the knowledge that you have the right of way as a pedestrian. Even more amazing was that they had a big push for a pedestrian awareness campaigns aimed at drivers, but they had nothing targeted at pedestrians.

To this day I still don't understand how sunshine negates the urge for self preservation.

Knowing the definition of assault wouldn't change the way she acts but at least maybe she'd shut the fuck up about it.

An assault is any act (and not mere omission to act) by which a person intentionally or recklessly causes another to suffer or apprehend immediate unlawful violence. The term assault is often used to include a battery, which is committed by the intentional or reckless application of unlawful force to another person. https://www.cps.gov.uk/

Nah who am I kidding.

Good to see that inexplicable entitlement and self-righteousness is not just an American problem.

I love a good Archer reference, but I feel obligated to leave this here.

You MANIACS!

You blew it up!

Pfft, I'm pretty sure Phil Murphy dispatched the goon squad just because I was looking at this thread.

He covers some cool stuff but for the life of me I cannot watch with that stupid fucking makeup.

Yeah, good thing reddit drove him off for doing something shitty and stupid.

Reddit is so much better now without unidan and his interesting explanations of things.

This is pretty interesting. Is it possible this happened because the polarizing film on the LCD imparts a polarized structure on the print?

If you're earning on it, $40 or $60/mo is not a lot of money, if you're a hobbyist tinkering... it's silly.

Nobody is going to argue that for professional purposes it's priced just right that there's no need to look for alternatives or to cheat on a license.

For hobbyists... I can't justify $300/year. Maybe $200 for a one time license or $5/mo if you really want a subscription model.
