In moments like these, it's never clearer that the majority of political commentators don't have values - they have allegiances

Very few 'commentators' are actually consistent and coherent in their arguments. Instead, they adopt whatever narrative suits their tribe at the time

@StephenSeiler I genuinely try and help editors as let’s be honest it’s a crap job

The issue is to review a paper I need to take that time directly out of my family or exercise time - the paper really needs to be good for me to want to do that

[James Spragg @spragg247]

Academia is bathsit

Journal editor: Can you review this paper

Me: no, sorry. No capacity at the moment & I'm not really in academia, so reviewing less & less. Try x,y,z

Journal editor: You failed to properly respond to my email as you didn't click the link & select a response

[James Spragg @spragg247]

yeah not going to waste a single secondmore trying to help you out here mate

40 days to ski season!!

Ah, it’s that time of year when Jeremy Clarkson reminds us that you don’t need academic qualifications to succeed in life. Just a very expensive education and high value social networks.

The challenge isn't shouting from the sidelines what everyone should be doing...

The real challenge is being on the pitch and directly influencing the game

@DebevecTadej It would be dangerous for experienced climbers let alone the less prepared

[Tadej Debevec @DebevecTadej]

It would be extremely dangerous for less experienced and less prepared climbers and trekkers to believe that the use of xenon would allow them to forgo proper physical and medical preparation and acclimatization when going to high mountain regions.

@Captain7bag @Spragg_Perform @peter__leo I talk about durability in terns of ‘acute ´ - ie within a session and ‘chronic’ ie across multiple days or sessions in the talks I give and within my day to day working environment

Pleased to have my first research project from my PhD accepted for publication

[James Spragg @spragg247]

@JanLauwers5 unfortuently not

[James Spragg @spragg247]

Unpopular opinion...

This is such a joke.

The time limit has been known for months

If teams cannot plan for this with performance strategies, then they should be at a disadvantage and in danger of their riders going home OTL.

@CrisHake @LoosDieter GC leaders were not faster than predicted; therefore, the goal is to find ways to get your sprinters and heavier riders within the time cut. This was possible with the 33% time cut if you were smart about it

[James Spragg @spragg247]

@Nyborger_Nybo Only 7 riders were outside the original time cut of 33% and I imagine those guys went easier than planned as a result of the change
