Another thing that I can't even with you cyclists is the winning time for the Olympic Road Race was 6 hours 5 min 26 sec. My worst marathon took was - JD Jul 24, 10:29 8
- I'm not sure I understand your issue with cycling. - Krusty Jul 24, 11:39 7
  - My issue is to some extent distance. The distances are just a different level of existence from what I've done. Your 20 mile ride for example - JD Jul 24, 12:02 3
    - The cycling being low impact makes it much easier to go for longer times. Cyclists also work together to help the group go faster and further. - Krusty Jul 24, 12:50
    - Spoiler - Spawn Jul 24, 12:12 1
      - For six+ hours though? That's the part I don't get. I can't think of doing anything for six+'hours in the equivalent constraints of being on a bike - JD Jul 24, 12:37

  - Even if they were right, you’d think that’d be a pretty strong argument in favor of getting the vaccine, no? -- nm* - znufrii Jul 24, 10:14 2
    - You'd think "Chinese bioweapon meant to disrupt US economy and kill Americans" would be a point in a vaccine's favor, but... - TWuG Jul 24, 10:17 1
      - Our soldiers have learned not to dive for cover as soon as shots are fired at them... - zeitgeist Jul 24, 10:49

  - OMG, when there’s a penalty shot, the defending team puts on helmets, masks, gloves, and pads, and crowds the net. This game is broken. -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 08:21 3
    - No, the Mop Hot Takes are broken. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 24, 08:35 2
      - And then they quickly have to shed all their gear like Charlie Brown on the pitcher’s mound, as gameplay goes on. -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 08:38 1

So handball is like basketball but with a smaller ball, you can travel, a bigger net, and you can’t set foot in the key. -- nm* - Mop Jul 24, 08:06 1
- Also, no beach handball at the Olympics. Someone fix that. -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 08:16
OK Peacock. It looks like 7 events have already award medals. I’d like to see replays of some or all of these sports. Where can I see them? -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 07:58 4
- I think after 24 hours it will be on peacock -- nm - spamlet Jul 24, 08:22

A “single character typo” was responsible for the bricking of the Chromebooks this week. -- (link) - spamlet Jul 24, 04:12 3
- It had me nervous about turning off my Chromebook so it didn't auto update. -- nm - Krusty - Euro 2020/21 Champion Jul 24, 04:29 2

    - In order to help me analyze the situation, I'm building up a timeline of the communication so far. - Beryllium Jul 24, 00:00 1
      - ah, there's a separate policy for liability, so that alleviates most of the concerns -- nm - Beryllium Jul 24, 00:32
- and depending on the quorum requirements in the bylaws, Option 3 might be just as bad if there's a dedicated enough contingent in favor of B. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 23, 22:25 1
