  • Yeah. Afraid to fail is bullshit, just like a college degree has become bullshit. Right down to actually needing to take prerequisite base classes to get your degree in something. Almost no one goes to college because they have a general thirst for knowledge. They go so they can get a job, or because mommy and daddy told them to go.

    Listening to a guy talk in a 200 person class you're paying six figures to attend while in the age of the internet is stupid.

  • You're the one who tried changing the argument off of my original post, bro.

  • I dunno... Did women kill the Indians to take this land?

  • It doesn't matter. We're talking about the possibility of a woman existing that had 100 different men who thought they could defeat her in a wrestling match, wagering up a thousand horses each. A challenge that spanned over years. As her reputation if defeating all these dudes would spread and be known, after the first ten or twenty guys were defeated, the only challengers (if they were actually intending to win) would have been almost nothing but large and strong guys experienced in wrestling.

    There just isn't any way that would happen.

  • Or maybe she was butt ass ugly but everyone liked keeping their heads rather than insult a princess.

  • No woman known for being beautiful is nearly as strong as a strong man. Wrestling is very much a skill, but there's a reason there's so many weight classes. I wrestled for several years. Strength can overcome skill.

  • "she" didn't capture men on the battlefield. She led an army. Big difference.

  • This story always seemed so outlandish to me, that I'm still convinced it isn't actually the entire story. Like; the men were losing on purpose for some sort of political favor of sorts.

    *Edit: So I've done some sleuthing. The story is BS. The only original source of the wrestling for horses came from Marco Polo, and he made up\exagerated all sorts of stuff. She was known as a wrestler, but nothing of defeating 100 men undefeated. Also, the 100 men part was just made up at some point even later, as Marco Polo never gave mention of a number of men she'd wrestled. Only that she had a herd of 10,000 horses won from wrestling. I couldn't find a source for when the 100 men part got added on.

  • It really fucks with me when I plug in my steam deck to the TV and use my PS5 controller to play.

  • He left out an important data point with all of his math. One he doesn't have any data on. He failed to account for down force created by the vehicle. He completely ignored it. Downforce completely changes breakaway speeds on the tires.

    As to why it gets slower times than a thousand hp car on the track, it's simple. The car weighs MUCH more. Like 2,000 pounds more. That makes braking and turning and acceleration slower (but there's plenty of power to overcome the acceleration) and like what he did touch on, the battery isn't large enough to go "all out" on this track without running out of juice.

    If the byd car could use magic to make it weigh as little as the zr1 and not be battery capacity limited, it would wipe the floor with the zr1.

    So yes, 3,000hp and all wheel drive is a benefit. It just can't overcome the weight difference through all the turns and deceleration on the track.

  • *socialism.

    Also, it's been no secret that if you compliment Trump he'll be ready to garble your balls. He's a simple old man.

  • Nice. This is my great uncles straight razor. He came from Germany and had a barbershop in the 1940's around Kansas City, so it's around 80 years old.

  • I'd rather not ruin a hobby by making it a job.

  • Newsweek is seriously trying to take a dry and completely humorless approach on this "story"

    :-\

  • Well we're all curious now....

  • That's a convoluted answer for me. I hand sharpen knives and straight razors as a hobby. Been doing it for like 30 years and have several hundreds of dollars in diamond and wetstones. I doubt there's 500 people in the country (US) that are better than I am at hand sharpening.

    The convoluted part is that I could charge people to sharpen knives. I just don't want to.

  • My home gaming PC is a ryzen 1500x and an Nvidia 1060 GPU. Old as hell but still runs most games.

    Most people on steam probably have a rig with 4+ year old hardware, and after seeing what my little steam deck oled can do, id say the steam machine will be able to out perform any 4+ year old windows system when it comes to gaming.

  • Until I see it from an alternate source, I'm calling bullshit on this one. It sounds like bullshit.
