@74EagleScout76 It’s pretty clear that anything a layperson could identify as intending to evoke the flag counts as the flag for this purpose

No the flag code says the flag can’t be turned into clothing not that clothing can’t depict the flag

@EveningSky6 @normal_jake_ Oh sweet! Legit stoked to hear that.

@c0eseph @normal_jake_ They are. Announced at TGA last year.

No matter how many times different video games try to lure me in I just do not understand the appeal of 40k

@EveningSky6 @normal_jake_ If they made a Total War of 40k I’d totally buy it though. I’ve always kinda liked the idea of 40k but the video games they’ve made for it all kinda suck.

@normal_jake_ I liked Total Warhammer 1 and 2 well enough but I could never get into any 40k games like Space Marine 2 tbh

@SimonAmayaPrice I’m not a lifter by any means but my understanding was that a 225 bench was “healthy adult male who takes lifting somewhat seriously and has been doing it for a few years” level?

I benched 225 a couple months ago. I am not juiced. Does this make me one in a million?

@WilliamHogeland I would say that this and the original tweet are both true

I've (almost) never heard a good Dylan cover.

@svincenzi @jackofspuds Feels like we’re getting pretty far from the original point that the “waving around 3lb dumbbells” routine is just cardio. If that’s what you want and you enjoy it then knock yourself out, but let’s not pretend it’s strength training because it isn’t

@jackofspuds Roberto Bolle, one of the best dancers of the last decades, never lifted weights. I don't think that many do, either. Lifting partners up, jumping etc., and low body fat, plus genetic talent, are enough for what they show.

This isn’t even true on its own terms - many dancers lift weight, often substantial weight, because calisthenics alone are not sufficient to progressively overload your muscles or connective tissue in a safe, efficient way.

@puwulitics @jbillinson “Can’t tell if you’re joking” You should probably get tested…

@jbillinson You’re aware he was trying to break his own record, yeah? Can’t tell if you’re joking.

Wow, he couldn’t break the world record while juicing on FDA approved PEDs under medical supervision? I bet the guy who actually holds that world record must be pretty strong

@KrisSmith98 I’ve always said stop drawing the lines and just play it back at full speed. If you can’t tell for sure he was offside from watching it at full speed then it was close enough to not make any difference to the game, but at least you get to catch the obvious misses

Everyone gets angry about fractional offsides, but to me there's an obvious issue: *No matter what the offside rule should/shouldn't be, there's always going to be players microscopically beyond that line* 5cm tolerance? Then 5.01cm is offside, so there's always harsh cut-offs.

@MoggMentum @ReeceLSport Based on save percentage Liverpool should’ve been relegated. Doesn’t make it a meaningful observation though does it

@ReeceLSport 'Based on' Amazing a kid like you doesn't understand the English language.

Stunning to this day that XG Philosophy doesn’t understand XG

@weshcestlekip @JacobHorsfall_ @JefferyGol37573 Because “should’ve been relegated based on xG” is meaningless. It measures how effectively they create chances relative to their opponents but nothing about how effectively they converted them

@JacobHorsfall_ @JefferyGol37573 Would love for you to elaborate on this. What do you mean by baseline here? And why is it wrong to look at a team’s cumulative xG over the course of a season as was done in the original tweet?

This. Isn’t. How. You. Use. XG.

@Unimportanz @BretDevereaux @romanhelmetguy @grok Wait, so the guy dared you to ask Grok if he was wrong, you went away and asked and Grok confirmed he was right and then you proudly posted the response claiming it said the exact opposite? There are a lot of dumbasses in the world but you might be the champ.

@BretDevereaux @romanhelmetguy @grok Done, you're still wrong:

This is a great example of how stupid many academics are. κυνώπιδος means ‘shameless.’ But Bret says that’s a bad translation, because people only call themselves κυνώπιδος when expressing shame. But duh! When a person calls themself shameless, they are expressing shame!

@adamross @DerekPederson3 @glencoe2004 “maybe we don’t hear from intelligent civilizations because, sooner or later, they all die” Or maybe they’ve all got better shit to do than yell into the void

Forgetting that a “short” 100-year journey from Earth to Alpha Centauri could probably be achieved with near-future technology and enough money, I think you’re broadly correct about why we haven’t seen aliens visit Earth in any provable way: without faster-than-light travel — which I personally think is improbable — space is simply too vast for interstellar travel to be practical or worthwhile, even for a hypothetical advanced civilization capable of traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light. But that still doesn’t explain the silence. Even with our relatively crude tools, we can already see and listen across billions of years of space and time — and we do it at the speed of light. Yet we hear nothing: no radio signals, no obvious technosignatures, no evidence of civilizations reshaping their environments on a detectable scale. And the math behind that silence gets uncomfortable fast. If intelligent life with technology at least as capable as ours evolved on even a tiny fraction of the potentially habitable worlds within, say, 1,000 light-years of Earth in every direction, some of those civilizations should statistically be thousands or even millions of years older than us. The universe is 13.8 billion years old — plenty of time for intelligent life to emerge, develop technology, and send detectable signals into space. Yet we still hear silence. So I think you’re onto something about why we don’t get many visitors: distance and relativistic speed limits may make interstellar travel profoundly impractical beyond the very closest stars. But that alone doesn’t explain why the universe appears so quiet. And that’s where the Great Filter comes in: maybe we don’t hear from intelligent civilizations because, sooner or later, they all die. Given the trajectory of human civilization since the development of nuclear weapons — along with climate destabilization, ecological collapse, and increasingly fragile political systems — it’s not hard to imagine how that could happen. ⏳

@MongoAggression @uncledoomer Exactly, the juice will unlock the best your body is capable of but it turns out that’s still not enough for 99.9% of us

I think its more about the gap between top 10 to 20 in the world at anything, and everybody else. To really see the effects of juice maxxing on world records youd have to take guys who were somewhat close without it Some guy whos ranked 1000th or whatever probably isnt breaking records regardless of steroids

is it just a numbers game where if they do enough events, then one is bound to be won by the control variable guy? or is this whole concept cooked on arrival?

@CptBuffaloney @corm_h @beau_throws Ahh okay, so you’ve got nothing. Thanks for confirming.

@corm_h @c0eseph @beau_throws Classic LIBERAL argument. “Your numbers are fake but I don’t have to cite sources.”

Is there any oversight for this circus? Legit 100m length , wind tunnel , super surface , spikes, etc? Or is it a “just trust me bro” event ?

@CptBuffaloney @beau_throws It’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s a question. Who is the independent auditor for the event to prove it’s all legit?

@c0eseph @beau_throws Literally about to be the most studied and analyzed sporting event in history and you people can’t get conspiracy theories out of your head. So sad

@CptBuffaloney @beau_throws Because if it doesn’t succeed in putting up crazy numbers the whole event is a flop. Big incentive for the folks organizing it to cheat so it’s fair to ask if there’s any independent verification

@beau_throws Why wouldn’t it be legit? Do you even hear yourself rn?

@aitch_bar @mattyglesias And shank is just as good as ribeye if you’re gonna stew it for hours - but if you actually like coffee enough that you don’t cover up the taste with a bunch of other stuff it’s unquestionably better now than it used to be

@mattyglesias "good" coffee, (like "good" alcohol) isnt really that great. folgers isn't really that bad. a big glass, a couple ice cubes, 6 oz of perc/drip coffee and 6 oz whole milk, some sugar and a straw is almost as good as any 8 dollar girlie latte drink

Zoomers would struggle to understand what coffee used to be like outside of maybe a half dozen neighborhoods in New York.

@jm0ney666 The tap water is so much better on the Somerville side of the line

moving to somerville from cambridge….. unsure what to feel about this change

@toastyJ @LoganDobson @razibkhan Kinda does though. A lot of folks over-eat out of habit and the meds help to break that habit.

@LoganDobson @razibkhan This is disingenuous and you know it. I’m not against GLP-1s. But the point is, when you go the “traditional” route, it requires establishing the habits of good diet and exercise. The “easy mode” route doesn’t require that.

It’s true; in order to keep weight off with GLP-1s you have to keep taking them, as opposed to diet and exercise, which you only have to do once

@TimThomasTLP @alex_kirshner It’s going to be awkward regardless because I can’t un-know the view my coworker publicly expressed

Sure but who is feeding the polarization (answer: who isn’t 😂). Imagine a co-worker of yours had a different view and expressed that and then you decided to publicly attack said view. Unless this was something previously discussed, that’s gonna make for a potentially awkward situation the next time you see them

It doesn't work like this. Dart has every right to be very public about his support and every other person in the country has every right to judge him loudly for it, good or bad. You guys need to be less soft and have the courage of your convictions one time
