@BasedMikeLee @conservmillen Christians aren't Jews. We worship the same God but have an entire new testament. That updates our understanding of the original covenant between God and Man.

Likewise, LDS also assert a new testament and covenant that updates their understanding of the old and new testaments.

@eigenrobot @chadmanley007 But also, the top left corner of this graph unequivocally is opposed to any private cash transfer of any kind. The sex workers would be giving "according to their abilities" to those "according to their needs

I think this is a great encapsulation of my main problem with strength and conditioning for sport.

People try too hard to recreate their sport in the weight room.

But if you get too close to a thing without actually mailing it, you get interference effects. Swinging a baseball bat is the least efficient way to improve your golf swing.

Better is to do as Tony says. Take the physical attributes that are relevant to your sport (speed, muscle mass, range of motion, etc). Work on those attributes with the smallest dose necessary so you aren't chronically fatigued or spending too much time away from your sport.

Then practice and drill the heck out of your sport.

That's it.

Let me sum up the “debate” I had at the “Sport Movement Skill Conference”.

The attack:

1. Straight line speed has no direct correlation to any sport other than track.

2. Speed is NOT “the tide that lifts all boats”.

3. The fastest guys from the NFL Combine are not good players. Jerry Rice was slow (4.71).

4. It’s dumb to work on “just” speed.

Their beliefs:

1. Movement skills must be developed “in context”.

2. Drawing heavily from “ecological dynamics and skill-acquisition theory”, athletes should learn to solve movement problems under changing conditions. Rather than chasing one “perfect” sprint model, athletes should be capable of producing effective movement solutions in many environments.

3. Athletes need variability (“noise”) in training because sport is unpredictable. Athletes become faster and more resilient when exposed to changing constraints and decision-making demands.

My response:

1. Speed is the tide that lifts all boats.

2. The 3 requirements to play in the NFL at all positions: size, speed, skills. There are minimum requirements for size and speed. Size can’t be coached. Speed can be.

3. Faster teams are healthier teams. Athletes who get faster are more resilient. Sprint-based football teams are almost bulletproof.

4. In a Feed the Cats program, we don’t “just train speed”. We spend less than 30 seconds a week at max velocity (most important 30 seconds of our week). ⚡️

5. “80% of NCAA 🏈 players never reach their genetic ceiling of speed.” ~Boo Schexnayder (Too much emphasis on weight room, conditioning, and sport-specific movement… in the absence of consistently training max velocity in low doses.)

5. Let the sport train the sport. Away from the sport, improve KPIs. Don’t “just” reverse-engineer the sport.

6. The debate is silly. Athletes need to PRIORITIZE speed. Prioritize does not mean “at the exclusion of everything else”. Speed is the priority, not the majority. NO ONE SAYS SPEED IS ALL YOU NEED TO PLAY IN THE NFL.

Every NFL player who gets SLOWER seems older and is getting closer to the end of their career.

Every NFL player who gets FASTER seems younger and is extending his career. 💰

Athletes need to sprint, lift, jump, bounce, and throw.

Athletes ALSO need to be taught sport-specific movements and skills.

It’s not one or the other.

@DataRepublican @RepMikeKennedy If LDS are Christians, why aren't Christians Jews? We're worshipping Yahweh after all.

@Aella_Girl Would not having children require me to murder the disabled one?

If so, then I'll pick not murdering my own child.

[Bryce Lee @EBryceLee]

A reasonable middle ground is a sales tax on the home which can be amortized for the buyer.

Seller pays their portion out of the proceeds. Buyer pays their portion over a set number of years.

Taxes on unrealized gains are broken and force people to sell who can't afford to move.

This makes me laugh.

“I smoked crack and slept with prostitutes at a cheap motel. I suffered no financial consequences and my dad pardoned me to get me out of legal trouble.

Do I look like I’m part of the elite oligarch class?”

Yes. That’s exactly what it looks like.

Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.

This one quote sounded familiar.

@h0847067168315 @MissRed_Roses Do you think an African American child is going to have a harder life than a Caucasian child?

[Bryce Lee @EBryceLee]

@jonatanpallesen @MattWalshBlog Yes. To many people, owning a slave wasn't the same thing as owning a "real person."

The Venn diagram between people who think you should get fired for using the R word and people who think you should be able to euthanize your child if it has Down syndrome is almost a circle

@Nakabuleluwa @StrengthbyMike @ProfTimNoakes Noakes cited a particular endurance athlete as evidence of a mostly carnivorous success story.

This person showed evidence that the athlete in question actually eats tons of carbohydrates.

Well, I am still making up my mind, but I think you'll find that most of the opponents of property tax do feel that way about businesses being entirely different. Although even there, the tax could easily be switched over to business license taxes to avoid nitpicky governments taxing a stay at home mom who babysits her friends kid at her house.

[Bryce Lee @EBryceLee]

@MikeN4028V @ChrisMartzWX @david_kinghorn Businesses can also pay property tax. That's fine

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

Six years ago. This is when the public health apparatus lost its credibility. We were told it was too dangerous for kids to go to school, but not too dangerous for thousands of people to gather for the “right” cause. Feels like a fever dream.
