    2026 Winter Olympics: Thread Title Under Construction

    Other than it was a bullshit penalty to begin with.

    2026 Winter Olympics: Thread Title Under Construction

    Almost all gameshows have dozens of versions in various countries. They're cheap and easy to replicate.

    2026 Winter Olympics: Thread Title Under Construction

    This shouldn't shock anyone, and there's no way it should dox you. I worked in college athletics to various degrees from 2004-2009, including with a number of women's sports. Unless you were specifically talking about Title IX's requirements for athletics which they personally benefited from...

    119th congress: must be at least 75 to chair a committee!

    It's designed to hurt women voters, and especially black women, which go disproportionately blue. Doesn't matter if more GOP women are disenfranchised than dem women as a percentage, the goal is to remove as many women as possible.

    The States 2: States Rights for Me But Not for Thee

    Yeah, Wisconsin wins going away and it's not even close. I lived in NH for a number of years and went to a drinking school (our unofficial mascot in an anthropomorphic keg, ffs), but no. There's a reason people from Wisconsin are banned from drinking contests in Cancun.

    2026 Winter Olympics: Thread Title Under Construction

    I do the inline skating marathon in Duluth every year. You're not far off that skating is roughly twice as fast as running. The male winners finish in around an hour, though the course record is around 50 minutes thanks to a decent tailwind that year. I tend to finish around 1:45 (my PR is...

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    The vulture capitalists who ruined Southwest are divesting themselves and taking their lackeys off the Board after a couple of quarters of share price growth. In a more sane world they'd face consequences for their acts.

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    Doesn't matter. My understanding is that the new law says any child born to a Canadian parent is Canadian, and they made it retroactive. So if your great-great grandparents were Canadian at the time your great grandparent was born, then your great grandparent was automatically canadian, making...

    My wife and I are probably 60% committed at this point to start the golden visa route with Portugal for our escape plan. Minimal residency requirements (only have to be there at least one week per year once the visa is approved), and after 5 years you can qualify for permanent residency or...

    OLYMPIC SPOILER-FREE THREAD (with 24-hour event result embargo)

    Same happens with golf. Take Augusta National, for instance. It has some major hills. They do not show up at all on TV. Even 18, where you can tell there is a hill on TV, is way steeper than what it looks like.

    Do not download that shit, even just out of curiosity or if you immediately delete it. Possession of child porn is illegal by itself. My wife can't even have the stuff related to her client's cases on her state issued work computer; she has to go to the prosecutor's office and view it on their...

    2026 Winter Olympics: Thread Title Under Construction

    Oh, and I just realized why the announcer for this game is bothering me. Not just the various errors and whatnot, which whatever, she's doing it solo. It's that she's clearly under instructions to announce it as though no one has ever watched a hockey game before. Explaining fairly basic things...

    2026 Winter Olympics: Thread Title Under Construction

    I'm watching a replay of the Japan-France game while WFH today. I wish I was joking when I say it doesn't look all that different from a high-B level beer league game, complete with a few ringers and a bunch of weekend warriors on each team. Like the teams clearly play better team defense since...

    SCOTUS lets California's response to Texas gerrymandering stand with no noted dissents. Guess even Alito realized that would've been too brazen.

    Movies: Poor Things, Barbie and Oppenheimer are stuck in La La Land

    Forrest Gump winning is only really bad because that year was absolutely stacked and looking back I probably would put any of the other nominees ahead of it. Gump Shawshank Pulp Fiction Quiz Show Four Weddings and a Funeral Shawshank and Pulp Fiction are 1 and 1a, hands down, and each probably...

    Those are the inflation adjustments. The change in spending power of a unit is currency is the literal definition of inflation/deflation. If you're saying those numbers account for inflation and then show additional loss of value, that doesn't make sense. That'd be essentially measuring...

    700 people showed up to Trump's rally while an estimated 2000 showed up outside in 15 degree weather to protest. In a lily white suburb of Des Moines that is more maroon than purple. Sad energy. Weak. Limp. If that area turns blue, the Dems may finally regain some power at the state level.

    Hobbies - A thread for other things we kill time doing.

    I live in a college town, so as much as there aren't any out at the moment, motorcycles are probably more common here than a lot of other places in northern states. Definitely saw a few out and about when we had our last spell of 50 degree weather.

    Meh. 2% inflation is a sign of a healthy economy. Those numbers show about 3-4% inflation on average over the 75-year period, thanks mainly to the 70s, which is higher than optimal but not exactly Zimbabwe levels. The bigger issue is that minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation at all.
