@dcro does our young/old banter count as a TISC occurrence as well? I can’t remember how that started.

@rybak Recently, there’s been a trend of contest related memes I think.

Ah, an educated man

Like the Left Twix/Right Twix comment earlier this week, there is only one correct answer.

We generally don’t talk about purely mythical or fictional events however.

Yes, so yes. Nothing makes the world better than a good crêpe.

I fucking love the Juice Media.

I’m disturbed by the lack of cafes in Epe

I’m very familiar with the battle over solar farms after what they’ve done to and for my community. The biggest issue here isn’t necessarily the birds, but the wildflower and Joshua tree habitat these companies raze to construct the solar farms. However, there are solutions to those problems. It just requires better planning. We need to utilize urban infrastructure to make these solar farms, instead of natural areas. Regarding solar farms from that article: “I strongly believe there’s a way to show the birds that the PV panels are solid surfaces, not water,” said Ileene Anderson, a scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity. “We can safeguard our irreplaceable wildlife, like the Yuma clapper rail, through thoughtful implementation of renewable energy projects,” Anderson said. While “green” energy has some environmental hurdles to clear, let’s not forgot about the “wonderful” world of oil, gas, and other fossil fuels. Quote from the same article: “The effects of wind turbines on birds, which research suggests kill far fewer birds per megawatt hour than do fossil fuel plants.” Conservationists en masse still support green/renewable energy, they just believe we need be more careful with the infrastructure.

Interesting. I live near a massive wind turbine complex, and never knew this was a problem.

Trump: “Wind kills the birds”

I laugh my ass off when Trump accuses Biden/Harris of being “further left than Sanders,” or “a socialist.” He nearly lost the Democratic primary because he wasn’t progressive/liberal enough.

20 minutes until Shitshow 2: Electric Boogaloo

Are we talking left Twix or right Twix? (Note: There is a correct answer)

I was going post about the LOC rationale for the 10km Race Walk, and then I remembered @PHI2019 already posted an article about it.

delete.

So, should I be making an effort to get my votes in this week? I’m so confused about the deadlines and procedure at this point.

No 4-man will be contested at the first four rounds of the World Cup: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1099813/bobsleigh-four-man-world-cups

Yeah, I’m bummed about the race walk too. Some other points that stood out to me were Mixed Synchro events in Diving, Madison missing from Track Cycling, and the inclusion of more para sports/events. I think this a solid program of events for the Commonwealth Games. My only complaint remains the exclusion of shooting. I wouldn’t mind seeing Tennis or Archery again either.
