Hay un pueblo donde no da el sol durante 6 meses.
Para solucionarlo, construyeron TRES ESPEJOS COLOSALES que reflejan su luz y la llevan hasta allí durante todo el invierno (y hasta juegan a vóley-playa).

This are some of the messages I received lately after loosing some matches. Just a few of them. There’s hundreds. And now, being 30 years old, although they still hurt, because at the end of the day, I’m just a normal girl working really hard and trying my best, I have tools and have done work to protect myself from this hate. But still, this is not ok.
It really worries me when I think about younger players coming up, that have to go through this. People that still haven’t yet developed fully as a human and that really might be affected by this hate. Maybe you can think that it doesn’t hurt us. But it does. We are humans. And sometimes, when we receive this messages we are already emotionally destroyed after a tough loss. And they can be damaging. Many before me have raised the subject. And still, no progress has been made.
Social media platforms don’t prevent it, despite AI being in a very advanced position. Tournaments and the sport keeps partnering with betting companies, which keep attracting new people to unhealthy betting. The days of cigarette brands sponsoring sports are long gone. Yet, here we are promoting betting companies, which actively destroy the life of some people. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they should be banned as people are free to do whatever they want with their money. But maybe we should not promote them. Also, if someone decided to say this things to me in public, he could have legal issues. So why online we are free to do anything? Shouldn’t we reconsider anonymity online?
I know those who write these terrible messages won’t change because of this. But maybe you, next time you see a post from an athlete, singer or any other person, that has failed or lost, you will remember that she or he is also a human being, trying his best in life.
Be kind. Give love. Enjoy life ❤️

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los aliados quisieron blindar sus aviones. Como no sabían qué partes reforzar, recurrieron a la estadística y la lógica, y por el camino descubrieron el sesgo del superviviente. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
La historia del hombre que pudo cambiar el cáncer, y al que todo el mundo ignoró.
Desde Einstein, pasando por la Alemania nazi y llegando al segundo mejor pueblo de la rioja alavesa 😜. Este capítulo es una historia fascinante.
GRACIAS.

Eliud Kipchoge’s 1:59:40 marathon run is truly insane when you break down the numbers:
▫️4:35 per mile pace (the record for one mile is 3:43 and he kept the pace 26x)
▫️OR 2:50 per KM pace (he did it 42x and each kilometre was within 2:48 to 2:52)
▫️The average men’s marathon time for 5km is ~30 mins (Kipchoge’s 5km pace was 14:13 mins, which he did ~8x)
▫️The world record 10km run is 26:11 (Kipchoge’s 5km pace was 28:26 which he did ~4x)
▫️His 100m pace was 17 seconds, which he did 422x
▫️The 21km per hour pace (or 13 miles per hour) isn’t even available on some treadmills
The sub-2 hour run — which was staged in Vienna in 2019 — is unreal but doesn’t count for marathon record purposes.
Why? Because the event was optimized for Kipchoge: coaches brought him water and he had pacemakers (including a car laying down a laser beam).
The human pacemakers might be my favourite part. They were 41 of the world’s top runners with >50 combined medals at Olympics and World Championships. All knew Kipchoge was the GOAT and chipped in.
Kipchoge’s pace was so punishing that the pacemakers swapped in and out at 5-minute intervals.
The best part — shown below — is when Kipchoge waves them off at the end and they cheer him on as he goes HAM to the finish line.

Self-talk in sport…
Athletes can instruct themselves. They can energise themselves. They can talk to themselves positively or rationalise any given situation.
Self-talk is a mental technique that drives mental skill and can be practiced in every activity and used in every game
There isn't one quote we could pick out of this interview to do it justice. If there is one interview you watch today, make it this one with @matmohoric.
On n'a pas su choisir une seule citation qui rendrait hommage à l'interview. Du coup si vous devez écoutez un seul interview en entier aujourd'hui, faites en sorte que ce soit celui de @matmohoric.

If you’re trying to “solve” traffic congestion, road widenings are very expensive exercises in futility - unless your actual intention is more people driving more often & longer in the same congestion, & more suburban #sprawl.
