Having been bitten by many a bullant I can confirm that they do indeed sting and not just bite. They're about bee sting levels of pain. The worst part about them is that they're happy to climb things and have a terminal velocity way lower than would be fatal for them so you can have them drop on your head while sitting under a tree. It's very disrupting to lunch when a bullant lands on your head and decides that you shouldn't have gotten in the way of its fall so starts going to town on your face.

I wonder if loving up during a competition can give you a burst of superhuman energy and skill, like a mother who needs to lift a car.

In this case it helps that she's clearly on completely different level than her opponents.

Lane 5 stumbled hard, was dragging her knee over the other hurdles instead of lifting, and she looked tired/sloppy at the end -- she might have kept it had she not had that stumble. Difference between the two was when they tripped. At the end, everyone has built their momentum; not so much just off the first hurdle. No surprise the top finishers were taller too: the more mass above the hurdle, the less you have to pull up over it. Ror posted:I wonder if loving up during a competition can give you a burst of superhuman energy and skill, like a mother who needs to lift a car. But yeah lane 4 was on some cheat modes with her form -- after recovery she just made every last step completely flawless. Her head barely moved. Her steps were in just the right position. Her conversation of momentum is stunning compared to the shuffling jumps of her competition.

I've had a couple of bullet ant bites, all I could do was lie in bed with ice on the bite, anything else was too painful. My wife was most unsympathetic until one of them bit her and it made her cry.

So when someone is unsympathetic the solution is to get bullet ants to bite them. BRB getting some ants for the middle East.

Hopper ants are the ones I hate. They like to climb grass stalks and wait on top to leap onto your legs and sting the gently caress out of you. They trigger beesting allergies too.

Ror posted:I wonder if loving up during a competition can give you a burst of superhuman energy and skill, like a mother who needs to lift a car. It absolutely can. It's really hard to describe but when I wrestled in high school there were a couple times where I got slammed pretty hard onto the mat(probably got a few concussions) and I had this weird moment of clarity and time kind of slowed down(once again probably the concussion) and saw the exact move I needed to do. Most of the time it was a reversal of some sort but I laser focused on the leg/arm/head I needed to grab or twist or whatever. It happened maybe five times I'm guessing, I told my coach about it after and he just says "yeah you got in the zone" . Anecdotal but that's my experience with it.

Field Mousepad posted:time kind of slowed down(once again probably the concussion) That's just an illusion in your memory. There's been a lot of studies that show our reflexes don't actually speed up and we don't process information any quicker. But it definitely feels like an action movie when you remember it.

During muay thai and karate competitions, I've had moments when I've been absolutely knackered and 've gone "I can't possibly last much longer, so I'd better end this bout immediately," and my body stops trying to reserve anything for the long term and just spends every last bit of energy all at once. The result is a burst of speed and strength that defies the trend and can definitely feel superhuman at the time.

Clean and empty, I leave the stall so that the next fellow may experience his own moment of peace.
