boop the snoot posted:Curling is legitimately the only Olympic sport I look forward to. I don’t pay attention to who is winning though, I just tune in to watch the epic broomsmanship. Is curling the only olympic sport that isn't about being the strongest or fastest at something? Its fun btw, everyone should see if theres a place near you.

Defenestrategy posted::checks: I completely forgot archery/shooting existed without triathlon/etc. Golf isn't quite the same as curling, its difficult to put too much distance on a tee off but its trivial to put too much power behind a stone or heat up the ice too much. I was thinking too much about "fastest" for the other events. Being fast with decisions and sweeping in curling is as much speed I guess.

That Works posted:I can't say that I've owned or cooked with white pepper. What's it compare to / is it really essential? Black peppercorns are dried, white peppercorns are soaked then dried. White peppercorns are more common in asian cooking, e.g. hot and sour soup. https://thewoksoflife.com/chinese-spices-condiments/#white-pepper

GD_American posted:Since I've never shopped for one, do they have APRs around that credit card area, or can you get comparable rates to buying cars? The really good car loan rates, ie anything lower than a mortgage are manufacturer subsidized so you can’t get that. You can get well under 10% with good credit though so if your credit and job improves drastically you can consolidate a lot of 20% credit cards and private student loans that have horrendous variable apr terms. With short term stuff you can go very low with stuff like 0% apr for 12months promotional credit cards.

The easy counter point is that ultra rich people setting private records with new aircraft in the 20s and 30s was critical to the early civilian aviation industry. Branson is the first in space on a 100% private spacecraft which is something I guess.

CommieGIR posted:None of these flights do that though? Nothing that both craft did is new or novel, they are largely rehashes of the same tech we already have. SpaceX and even Electron are leaps and bounds ahead in doing actual groundbreaking work. I mean if you’re saying virgin galactic is just an X-15 carrying passengers dragon is just a larger Apollo command module. It’s all a bit dumb. Prior to today there was no air launched single stage to space passenger spacecraft, now there is. That’s something.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Fareed would ask something like "so is branson going to space?" And NdGT just went like, "no" and broke out a globe going to town on explaining why it isn't space. Just Neil being Neil. I finally found the apogee as 282,000ft which indeed does not meet the FAI definition of space which is the Karman line at 100km. That’s not binding on anyone however and US defines space as 50miles.

The guy with a UA baseball cap in the last image is crouching and able to touch the treads, I assume the point of the exercise is “tag you’re immobile” to simulate that guy placing a satchel charge or whatever

not caring here posted:This is the amazing logic that I don't get. Not being any part of the US system means you are going to get... less punishment? No punishment? All paths from this logic lead to MORE punishment. But all this magic word bullshit apparently won't let worse punishment happen. Or something. I believe the phrase is "caput gerat lupinum", ie "may he wear a wolf's head" which means that you can be killed freely. Thats the original meaning of "outlaw" - being outside the law.

Grip it and rip it posted:a Deputy District Attorney in my courthouse is sick as poo poo. He told me months ago that he was fully vaccinated. He could have been lying, but we have since been told by his office that someone employed in that office has tested positive this week. I don't know for certain that those two events are connected but uh, common sense and all certainly suggests that's the case. The covid vaccines, and the flu shot for that matter, prevent the disease from killing you or putting you in the hospital. You can be incredibly sick without needing to be in the hospital.
