The goal zone is called the house. I took an intense interest in curling during the Sochi Olympics

My mom is an Olympic-level curling official so I can help here  Memento posted:They're just going over the track to see what it's like, if they were actually playing at that point in time there wouldn't have been anyone in the target zone. Sheet/ice; house. Samizdata posted:Nope. That stone is considered "burned" and removed from play, according to my Googling. Nope. That would be circumstantially true if the end wasn't over, but as noted above they're cleaning up to prepare for the next end. He's just clumsy. One cool thing about curling is that many rules are only true if the teams can't agree what to do. If a player burns his own rock, it's out. If a player burns the other team's rock, there's a complex process for putting it back.

It does say she thought of that and decided it’d just run round in a panic until it got squashed or eaten, which I do give her points for, it’s just the  flush it! conclusion I have a huge issue with.

Great curling fact: if you fall over in the house the worst thing you can do is put your hand flat on the ice to get up because you gently caress up the pebble.

But it's really bizarre seeing the CEO of Uber apologize for their behavior. they kicked out kalanick and replaced him with a guy whose job is to do nothing but apologize about the entire company top to bottom acting like massive assholes https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-01-18/the-fall-of-travis-kalanick-was-a-lot-weirder-and-darker-than-you-thought quote:As usual with Kalanick, the discussion grew contentious. Jones and his deputies argued that Uber’s riders and drivers viewed the company as made up of a bunch of greedy, self-centered jerks. And as usual, Kalanick retorted that the company had a public-relations problem, not a cultural one. boner confessor has a new favorite as of 18:41 on Feb 9, 2018 |

boner confessor posted:As the clip ended, the three stood in stunned silence. Kalanick seemed to understand that his behavior required some form of contrition. According to a person who was there, he literally got down on his hands and knees and began squirming on the floor. “This is bad,” he muttered. “I’m terrible.” Unexpected but not unwelcome!
