It does. This is why the fastest qualifiers get to swim in the middle lanes.

The actual article had nothing to do with training 1RM, this whole thread comes from a misinformed top level comment.

For trigonometry/calculus/physics radians are by far the most practical because they are dimensionless, so no constants appear when differentiating or integrating. (By the way, these constants will involve factors of pi anyway, it

I don't understand your post. There is no mention of testing 1 rep max (1 RM) in the article. Are you under the impression that the HRT group was training by only performing 1 RM lifts? That wasn't the case: > At a commercial

There is a lot of other stuff that gets loaded and parsed when you visit the site. I see 151 requests and get a DOMContentLoaded of 27.51 seconds. The slow requests aren't between me and the GQL API as far as I can tell.

This is besides the point but a 20 minute mile is a typical walking pace, not anywhere near a mid tier marathon pace (regardless of the definition of mid tier). That would be an 8:40 marathon.

Very cool. Reminds me of this video I saw recently about the new subway being dug in Vancouver. There they build a temporary road surface above the underground work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4YFFtTEUQc&t=380s (I

The reason I posted that article is because it summarizes how there has been a huge shift in thinking since the low-fat craze. I don't think it takes anything for granted, and I wasn't looking to argue for a particular point of vi

As a patient, in the past I've absolutely been directed to ice injuries for weeks. (Not so much in the last ~10 years, as the world caught up to the fact that this was a bad idea.) Sources like the Red Cross or WebMD article on RICE[0]

It's definitely plastic. It's also of a much greater diameter than a shotgun shell. And, it doesn't resemble at all the device in that video. That aside, the fact that it's possible can make a firearm from a pipe, doesn&

If you're interested see my reply to the sibling comment. There is an article with a picture of the "firearm" which is apparently a piece of PVC, of much greater diameter then any bullet. Setting aside the fact it was never a

Right. But as the article tells it, it wasn't even found in his possession; it was found with a bunch of junk in a park, along with some of his mail. Apparently his DNA was on it but then they admit there was doubt about how conclusive

I don't care how well you manage your expenses, it doesn't make sense to keep enough cash on hand to rebuild your house if it burns to the ground. (Not to mention that is completely impossible for almost everyone.)

If you dispense with insurance entirely, how do you deal with catastrophic expenses? The key things I think you are not considering are: 1. If you choose not to take out an insurance policy, and instead save the money yourself, you will not

First of all: the payout you get from insurance does not come only from the premiums you personally pay. If you make a claim, your expenses are covered by the pool of money of all customers, even those that do not make any claims. Second of

Accurately pricing insurance doesn't reduce the size of the pool. When you buy insurance, you aren't just pooling risk with other customers with the exact same risk profile as yourself. You're pooling with all customers of th

This doesn't make sense. If an insurance company wanted to charge higher premiums, they would just do so. They wouldn't need to spy on customers. The point of them trying to quantify risk as accurately as possible is to be able to

Why would insurance being individually priced negate its value? The benefit of insurance is the pooling of the risk. The more individually it is priced, the more efficiently it works. (Not that I'm a fan of insurers spying on their cus

What makes you think this is not the case? According to the article this disaster was within the parameters the the insurers planned for, even though it is the biggest of its kind.
