For starters, they were injecting L-carnitine, which is a method to strip fat off the body, reducing metabolic demand/reducing need to shed heat. https://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/49853029

If you were, I would ask that you use another method to read a thread, completely, before responding.

Are you blind? See bolded text. Please note that that was posted ~10 hours ago, and I don't have the ability to time travel at this juncture.

Pardon me for believing that there is a difference in the coaching abilities of Casey Cunningham and the Cal Baptist staff.

We’re talking about Meyer Shapiro and Mitchell Messenbrink. Do people discussing them NOT know that they are U20 world champions? Like versus like. Also, given that I said “teched his way through”, it was pretty clear I wasn’t talking about Sidakov. Who had several close, non-technical superiority wins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don’t think weight classes matter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You understand that Shapiro and Messenbrink are the current 70kg and 74kg U20 world champions, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The guy who teched every opponent he faced at a heavier weight. Seriously. If Messenbrink can make 157 and not lose a step, not only is winning 74kg that much more impressive but it makes him that much more likely to win 157. That said, I’d prefer he take an OLY RS.

If they go into the hornet’s nest, a la Blackhawk Down, things will get really interesting, fast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

None of those things derail that narrative, though. 1) Multiple launch sites ARE possible. 2) Hamas is an international organization. 3) If Hamas or anyone else was storing a volatile substance outside the hospital, boom. 4) JDAMs leave big ass craters. Have you seen one, geolocated, from the hospital? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Probably because the world champ at 74kg might very well be in the same weight class, 157, and I know who I’d take in that match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

“There are those”… “It’s been said.” Can you just stop with the weasel words? It’s pathetic. No one is disbarred for being conservative. That would eliminate half of the licensed attorneys in most states. He was recommended for disbarment by a panel of three, unanimously, for pushing frivolous lawsuits and never providing any evidence. That’s exactly what the bar is supposed to do: uphold professional standards and remove those who don’t meet them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Michelle Obama was never disbarred. Not only that, but she’s never had a disciplinary proceeding opened against her. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OJ never had what appeared to be shit running down the side of his face, in public. Blood? Maybe. In a private setting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unless he did a GS year prior to his RS year, taking classes that Stanford would accept, and then knew that he wanted to graduate in "3" (RS, RSFR, SO), that seems unlikely. https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/24215/mckenna-joseph/profile Real Woods did four years at Stanford. RS, RSFR, SO and JR. https://www.wrestlestat.com/season/2022/wrestler/50664/woods-real/profile

There are many shades of gray along the spectrum between handing out food, water and blankets, to training paramilitary forces (mujahideen, anti-communist forces), to actively aiding in terrorist plots. This seems to be closer to the first, no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve run and ridden a bike past the School of the Americas dozens of times. Kind of amazing that people don’t know who it produced and that it’s still in operation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe he was working at Jackie O’s in Athens at the time. Not sure if that was a seasonal thing or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty sure Woods got his degree from Stanford before leaving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Uh, do you know what SF (and to a lesser extent, CIA) do for a living? Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t, at all, and bites us in the ass. Do you know how many CIA/SF-trained organizations we’ve ended up fighting over the years? How many of them are classified as terrorist organizations now? Are you familiar with the School of the Americas? AKA, Georgia School for Dictators? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are they going to turn halal MREs into 7.62x39 rounds? If so, I would like to know where to acquire that skill, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is like people who claim “Biden gave Iran six billion dollars! They attacked Israel with it!”. Well, no, we released six billion dollars of Iran’s own money to a fund, held in Qatar, and administered by the US Department of the Treasury, that allows them to purchase humanitarian aid supplies as approved by the US. Which, to date, has had $0.00 withdrawn from it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If they try to show up in their tanks as promised, there won’t be any Russian athletes, in any sport, in Paris. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of my best friends is a beer brewer for a decently sized craft operation in Ohio. He had a habanero vanilla stout that sounded vile but was actually great. The pepper made the beer heat up your mouth and throat like whiskey does. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I used to work for one of the prominent soybean breeders in the US. My roommate’s dad was a pretty well known wheat breeder. IP deal with Quaker. The answer: you take a flower from one plant and mash it into the flower, still on the stem, of another plant. Then you out a tiny little bag around it and mark it with a label, indicating “AB * XY” cross. Seeds result. You plant them, grow them out and take a DNA sample to verify they’re what you wanted. Cross them with each other, multiple generations, and eventually you have enough seed to sell. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
