Olympics Day Ten Megathread (Monday, 5th August)
  • The speed wall is more difficult than you think. Most average climbers would not make it to the top. That also makes it a waste of a lot of wall space in a commercial gym which serves mostly average climbers unfortunately.

  • Olympics Day 11 Megathread (Tuesday, 6th August)
  • Exactly that. They have to go into isolation a few hours before the start of the session. Isolation means no internet/bluetooth/outside contact in an area with warm up equipment. They then have 5 minutes to "read" the boulder and climb it.

    In the finals it is different and they get a 2 minute shared observation per boulder before they start. But they are still in iso while the others are climbing.

  • To borrow a line from Letterkenny, it's like getting fingered with salad tongs.
  • I think you need to talk to more than one girl about that.. really depends on the procedure, your sensitivity down there and the competence of the gynaecologist. I've been to appointments that were fine and I've been there near crying from pain..

  • Precision bombing now vs then
  • Yes, Nijmegen got hit almost as bad as Rotterdam (the worst bombing by the germans) and that was also because of allied forces thinking they were flying over germany. It was the 80 year memorial a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, more than a few people died in Nijmegen.

  • Drug offers ‘wonderful’ breakthrough in treatment of asbestos-linked cancer
  • It is grim, but the average does not tell the whole story. From what I understand, it extends the life of several patients for a long time, with 4x more patients surviving three years after diagnosis. The average is low because, just as with most cancer drugs, it only helps a percentage of the patients.

  • Is it possible I am intersex if I apparently have a very wide female pelvic bone and everything else is male?
  • Human variation means you can be a male with a natural "male" wide pelvic bone. When determining the sex of human skeletons, they use a whole array of measurements besides just the width of the pelvis and still get it wrong sometimes. Unless you have other indications or feel you might be a different gender than you present as, you have nothing to worry about.
