What I've read indicates that Magnus is worried that his preparation was somehow leaked, either by someone in his own camp or through some kind of hacking episode. At this point a number of people have done analysis of the games and didn't find evidence of engine use. However, it is extremely...

Lots of survivorship bias going on there. The only stuff that lasted was indeed built well. There was also plenty of crap, but it didn't last. In 100 years people will say the same about now, but the only tools left will be Lie-Nielsen, Veritas, etc.

I've mentioned this before, but my brother-in-law who works at JPL on the Mars sample return mission is legit worried that by 2028 SpaceX is going to have a guy waiting on Mars to take a selfie with their lander and then beat it home to Earth. My cousin at SpaceX thinks this is plausible, and it...

Dude makes his own smelting blast furnace from sticks and mud.

Cradle would be great but you'd need an unreal FX budget. I think the Mistborn series would also translate well to the screen. Malazan just wouldn't work. It would need to be a 500 part series to do any justice.

Ooh, are we doing economist jokes?? (Disclamer: I have a degree in economics.) Joke the first: Two men go for a hot air balloon ride across the English countryside. They have a lovely morning drifting over the fields and hedgerows until a freak storm pops in and blows them badly off course...

I would go to space in a nanosecond.

What you can't appreciate from this angle is he actually wrapped his dick around the bar. It's really just part of classic kung fu training: https://i.gifer.com/83Gk.gif

Boston:

Nah. Your opponent doesn't tap to a joint lock in professional MMA, what are you supposed to do other than carry it to completion? Broken arm guy literally put himself in that position by kicking off the cage and trying to turn in and stand from inside an Americana, and he had at least a full...

Just caught up myself. I enjoyed the book, but you're right that the different POVs gave the appearance of there being less overall plot development. Plus having Lindon fill Eithan's role as mastermind changed the tone a bit.

God, as someone who has taught kid's martial arts classes, that's so on point it hurts.

Yeah, in 1997.

Ouch. That's exactly where the nanosecond fighter reaction of "Fuck this guy, I don't accept that this is happening" really bites you in the ass. If that grip is really on you just have to bail from everything to protect your arm.

Does anyone know of a good Android app that will let you scan a room/house to create a floor plan?

That was gorgeous.

I keep accidentally making money on market timing. My wife and I are still shopping for houses and we took a big chunk out at SPY $420 in the last couple days in preparation for a down payment. Now I'm tempted to wait and just put it back in...

When I was in college I saw a wreck where a cement truck had blown a tire and crossed the median into oncoming traffic at highway speeds. The engine block of the car and front half of the passenger compartment were flattened into 3 feet of depth max. RIP.

This has been discussed before, obviously. I can't wait for video of the inevitable mechanical failures while the boom is moving 2+ km/s.

I switched everything to ETFs for this reason. I don't do a lot of trading, but when I do I want to know what I'm going to get.

Right, but it's not that either. I'm confused.

No. I've toggled it several times to be sure.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but can anyone help me figure out why this thread doesn't show up in the forum listing? I can watch it and get notifications, but it's just not showing up in the normal feed. I didn't ignore it, either.

Sleep and rehydration are badly underrated components of fitness and weight loss. If you're not peeing basically clear all the time, you're not drinking enough. Also, for many people, myself included, their body tends to mix up the signals of thirst and hunger, leading to obvious overeating...

Yeah, it seems like for business reasons they should milk the "Only UK champion" thing a bit. I'd rather have some more interesting title fights than immediately revert to Usman.

Hoooooly fuck. That was an amazing combination.

Something must have happend, either before or during the fight. He looked in good shape and cardio doesn't drop THAT badly as you approach 40. It's a shame. I think he legit could have won that if he'd been able to stay more disciplined instead of exploding sloppily every time he had an...

He wasn't going 100% but she's also a much better grappler than he is. Dude couldn't figure out how to turn his hips after she started moving to his back. He'd have lost even if he tried, but it would have taken longer.

Rockhold looks like his lungs don't work. He must have a broken nose and/or ribs from those body shots on the ground.

Challenge level: Asian

That sandblasting setup looks like an amazing way to get silicosis.

What kind of dumb take is this? Mosquitos are both native and epidemic in all manner of places. The entire Southeast, New England, and god help you if you go to Alaska in the summer...

If you can run power out there supposedly this works and is dead simple. tldw; Put a screen on the inlet side of a high-throughput fan like those 4-foot diameter industrial jobs from the box store. CO2 source as attractant. Bugs get sucked in and pinned against the screen and die. You can kill...

This guy's whole channel is great. The only modern thing he uses is glue.
