Lol @ m05.
Dude drinking 100000 floor beers, not being able to have fun sober promotes drinking at lunch and drunk driving.

I had heard Dr. Mike Isratael on a few different podcasts and was never particularly impressed, but I definitely like his most recent one on the latest Jugglife. Can't judge a book etc. The part around 44:00 is quite good; he talks about how Dr. Mike Stone would force all of his MsC and PhD sports science students to either compete in their own sport if they've already been doing it for a while or compete for him on the ETSU wling squad.

tell me more!


in a bw squat i can only get to parallel if i significantly round my back & hold my hands out for balance. i can't go below parallel without falling backwards, which rules out any hope of ever doing a TWS squat/****ting comfortably in a third world country

Even very low BAC's increase the risk of an accident, albeit slightly

Well this should be fun!

That study shows reduced risk for small alcohol consumption upto .05 (before "adjustment").

Their final estimates include a bunch of interpolation, which is essentially making **** up. Great study. Seems totally in line with the scientific consensus.

I have such mixed feelings about bike lanes.

In the downtown areas of austin, a few streets have bike lanes. The closer you are to downtown, the better thay are. However, more and more they have what they call "corporal bike lanes", I assume because you're going to die if you use them. They are regular lanes of traffic with a sign painted on them that implies "bikes are gonna ride here, be careful. K."

Then they fill those lanes with the new double length high speed busses and advise that bicycles should yield to them.

Outside of downtown, bike lanes are common on new/large roads but that's about it. And they're useless. My commute to work has bike lanes the first 5 miles, and I use them, but holy ****. They are full of glass, garbage, nails. When the streets get swept, everything gets swept into them. They are cracked and have plants growing in them.

I take a much longer commute to work than strictly required, because for about 18 out of 25 miles of it, there are few traffic lights or stop signs, and less traffic. It's worth it.

They recently added in a 10 mile hike and bike trail near me - a paved concrete path that runs along a stream through park land. Using it adds a mile or 2 to my commute but it is so worth it. I think if you expect average people to commute by bike, that's probably what is needed - parallel and separate infrastructure.

I'm fine with your view of separate but equal.

Of course we should. Bikers on sidewalks woat.

It isn't because you aren't able to understand the methods they used that it's made up. The only science posted in this thread shows that you are wrong.

If you're unwilling to accept research and continue to believe whatever makes you feel better that's fine.

Okay. Can you explain how they created an adjustment for data that they didn't get?

I have some vague familiarity with the subject, so please make it as simple as possible.

1) Didn't have data.
2) Did thing. (This is what you can explain.)

Or perhaps you could quote exactly what they did.

Anyone know where I can bet on the Mcgregor fight and immediately cash out easily afterwards?

Just got off of a connecting flight to hear that the 'coremobile got rear-ended and totaled (thankfully the minis weren't in it). The wifeacore was stopped at a traffic light and got hit at a pretty high rate of speed by a truck; thankfully neither alcohol nor a hipster on a brakeless bicycle were involved (although that makes this story only tangentially related to the current thread).

She's at the hospital getting checked out right now, but nothing too serious it seems. I'll ask her how low she can air-squat after/if she's discharged to completely close the thread zeitgeist loop when possible.

Stay safe out there bros.

Hope she's alright.

Gross. One of my scariest accidents was when a guy hit me from behind at a red light and continued hitting me, pushing me into the intersection. I was forced to cross the intersection. I pulled over, he rushed off. A witness coming the other direction said he did the same thing at the next intersection.

Stay safe wifeacore. Probably an extremely good thing the minis weren't on board.

For those of you following at home. Here are the adjustments to demographic (which seems like a reasonable adjustment to adjust for known rates of poor, young+super olds, etc having higher accident rates):

.0
.09
.11
.10
.18
.28

Obviously this model makes the final increase from varying BACs:

.0
.03
0
.03
.12
.2

Which totally makes sense if you wanna make you data fit a narrative of how increasing BAC causes accidents, without acknowledging the obvious second order effect of increased vigilance.

But hey... Why science? Just start quoting studies with bull**** models to make your data fit your narrative:

So basically we have two sets of raw data showing diminished accident risk at low BAC. One utilizing a known dataset of adjustments that corroborates the priors, but somehow we magically get this weird multivariate adjustment that fits their end narrative.

Yeah the airport wifi sucks or I'd upload a few pictures. Back end up through the trunk is destroyed, rear window exploded, and I suspect the rear seats were displaced a bit too.

She's waiting for x-ray results and then should be able to go home. No organ issues or concussion signs as of yet, which, considering how fast the guy seems to have been going and that the airbag deployed, is a good sign.

Pretty interested to see the insurance fall out from this, given she was pushed into the car in front of her, which was also completely stopped. I'd always heard that you're technically at fault in that situation since you are responsible for controlling your car regardless, but apparently the cop thought otherwise. Not that I really ultimately care about any potential premium increase; this is more a way to use my spergers to self soothe my worry. At least this next flight is first class.

Damn monte. Hope all is well.

Sorry/hope she's ok.

Jeez, hope she's ok Monte.

Here the roads just say "give 3 feet" which means crossing over into oncoming traffic so most cars, faced with the horror of needing to slow down slightly for several seconds, just blow past the bike possibly honking at him during the pass or alternatively tailgate the bike and keep the horn blaring at them and/or start yelling at them to get off the road. I don't even bike, but cannot begrudge them getting onto the sidewalk out of maniac traffic. Of course nobody walks here anyway.

Air squats; actually the hot yogi chicks kinda struggle with this and frequently lose their balance while doing. My theory is it's related to wearing high heels.
