And awesome to see the restraint after Smith crumbled!

I am not the most technically astute person, using Manjaro and the AUR for like five years and never had my system break. Yes, some package problems here and there, but where do you not have them ever? And so far nothing an internet search couldn't fix. I found it very stable both in the XFCE and the KDE spin.

I know we had one at some point that didn't really get traction. But I just wanted to ask you fine folk a fluff question and don't know where to post it otherwise (apart from making another spammy post like this one).

For me it's definitely a book that often doesn't get much love: Spin by Robert Charles Wilson. I read that book like ten times by now in both English and my mother tongue. Such a defining book for me since I first read it in my youth and it gave me a lot of food for thought regarding what it means to live a meaningful life. It is not really hardcore sci-fi after all but more a kind of coming-of-age novel that happens to take place in a sci-fi setting.

Is it just burned from regular shells or is the white stuff the remnant of phosphorus ammunitions?

Drug Free Sport International will replace USADA according to Bronsteter. They already do drug testing for big sports leagues like the NFL which we all know are free of PEDs, so all good in the hood.

Thanks for posting. Very interesting and frankly stunning read. In the second fight, the dissenting judge seems to show disregard for the actual rules which say that only effective striking and effective grappling (damage and submission threats) count in the first instance. Only when there is no difference in that regard, stuff like ring control can even be taken into consideration.

But this guy goes deep with his alternative interpretation: "Lara had some great leg kicks in the first round and was bruising the inside of the leg. Diana kept coming forward, so I gave (Diana) the first round. [Maybe he left out some stuff because that round seems to have clearly been Diana's but according to this observation, it should have been Lara's round!] The second round, (Lara) was landing those kicks. Now Diana wasn’t coming forward, so subjectively I thought she had diminished energy. She wasn’t active coming forward, and Lara kept coming forward and was hurting her with the leg kicks. But I really thought she had some right power punches that were more effective the second round and incurred a good bit of damage. That’s why I gave it to her. I thought her striking was more effective – maybe not more efficient, but more effective.”

He seems to decide correctly in the end but it feels very strange to me that someone who is being paid to judge professionally will even talk about this "coming forward" and even the vague diminished energy kind of stuff (if it is not from actively being tired out by having your opponent doing the backpack or sth like that) because those simply should not matter according to the rules.

Anyway, great to hear from judges but that really did not convince me that the decisions are in safe hands.

Beautiful edit.

Yay for Loopy!

Definitely but still nice to see what looks like real WMMA talent that is using knees and seems to have some power.

[-] ooi_vebnq@r.nf 2 points 1 year ago

Beautiful knee on the ground btw
