Babe, what's wrong?
You've barely touched your signed Jake Wightman trading card.

Final vote total for the NDAA today which tragically merges our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s. Let’s hope this version fails in the Senate because Section 219 is a betrayal of our sovereignty.

I haven’t read the article but I’m assuming the tl;dr is:
220 - age is bullsh*t.
They’d be right.

I hate being so pedantic, but Max has given me no choice.
The correct use of an en dash is to represent a range of numbers (as I did in my post below).
Guess what... when you hit the hyphen key twice on your phone, it creates an en dash!
Plenty of humans use en dashes.

@Brady_H Brady is being very disingenuous here by clipping out what I was actually replying to, where he very much did use an en dash. Posting here for visibility. No human uses en dashes in this way.

Athletics is such a poor sport.
The one mile (and the 100m & Marathon) is the most prestigious event. Josh Kerr received a bonus of only $50K for breaking the world record which had stood for 27years. After tax and converting to sterling that's a measley £23k.
Kerr himself said it wasn't very much. When I taught athletics in a London independent school, I told the fast kids, *if they want to earn money from sport* learn football, don't bother with athletics.
It is extremely tough to reach the top in the country in athletics, and unless you are the top of your event you'll earn hardly any money.

I don’t think people realize how absurd this is. Scottish runner Josh Kerr just broke the mile world record in 3:42.66, an average speed of 16.2 mph. Most people couldn’t even briefly reach that speed, let alone sustain it for an entire mile.

@RodMurrow Imagine how much slower than 4:30 they would run if they didn’t though?!

Kerr was a metronome. Take a look at this then ask how many HS boys go out in 27.5 for a mile. Think that might be a problem worth fixing?

Does he do it?

There was a time when the four-minute mile was considered the ultimate barrier. Now, sub-4 is the standard. On July 18, @brooksrunning athlete Josh Kerr will look to run 3:42 in the Mile, a time that will break the longstanding world record of 3:43.13 set in 1999 by Hicham El Guerrouj. Watch Kerr’s historic world record attempt LIVE on FloTrack. London Diamond League coverage starts at 8:15 AM ET on July 18th, and the Mile will be at 10:36 AM ET. #DiamondLeague #LondonDL
