The event she participated in would scare the fuck out of me.
This person made it to the Olympics just by being persistent. I really wish more people like her competed to show how good the good people really are to compare a non freak of nature.

Fuck. Ive got to go listen to this banger now. I haven’t heard it in years.
Wouldn’t that be classified as “investing” at least according to the government.
Surely the answer to this is to buy really short term options. Bad case is you lose all the money and get a billion. Good case is that you make even more money.
The Horst Wessel song
He could retort by saying that he was obeying gravity, but falling continuously towards the earth while traveling at a speed that kept him from hitting the ground.
I mean, every existent species is the result of millions of generations. We all fill our niches, until we don’t. So even the humble tortoise is just as remarkable as us in that way, but I bet they will outlast us given how long they’ve existed.
The thing that always stuck with me about evolution is that we are related to everything. The pup I’m sitting next to is pretty close to me in terms of evolutionary time, the potatoes I ate are a lot more distant, but it is still my cousin, etc. It really makes me feel like I’m part of the world knowing that.
True enough. But given that we are going to drive ourselves to extinction in a geological blink of an eye, it really didn’t do us that great. Should have evolved into a crab.
I thought it was our ability to just run and run and run that broke evolution.
It got wrecked. Because of that fact, many people are calling for the Great Lakes to be nuked.
The density of uranium always fucks with me. How can something that takes up so little volume weigh so much?
The funny this is that I was a nuke person for a long time, until the facts changed. Nukes were really great fifteen years ago. But solar and wind have surpassed them in terms of cost so my opinion changed. Good shit.
I’m curious how you think adding nukes have an advantage here. You understand that nukes are not easily shut down? If we have a problem with an over abundance of energy, adding nukes to the grid only makes that problem worse.
We already have 30% nukes. Right now we need more solar and wind. I’m not saying shut down nukes. They are good. They are just a waste of money and time to build new when we have cheaper and easier to produce alternatives.
In the US we already have something like 30% which alleviates pretty much all the storage concerns. For our dollar right now, solar and wind are the best place to invest.
Given that solar and wind are cheaper, get built to schedule and far less likely to have cost overruns, this meme is bullshit.
Sure, nukes are great. But we need clean energy right the fuck now. Spending money on new nukes is inefficient when it could be spent on solar and wind.
My dog does this with heart worm chew that she goes bananas for. But the flee pill is something she will spit out after eating the cheese. I have to pretend that I’m trying to take the cheese from her mouth to get her to eat it as quick as possible.
This is just a cat where the owner feeds it exclusively long foods. Bananas, hot dogs, sausages, plantains, spaghetti, long eggplants, corn on the cob, those cheese rolls, hoggie sandwiches, baguettes, long john doughnuts etc
This is the same technique the Germans use to make Dachshunds.
