The problem I have with modern bodybuilding is that it seems to have strayed from the aesthetic roots of the sport. Even someone as massive as Schwarzenegger in his prime was beautifully proportioned. The current zeitgeist seems to just be size. I'm not a fan.

Local restaurant. I ordered the Belly Buster Breakfast Burrito, and I was told by the waitress she had only seen one person complete it, and he was a competitive eater.

The pic doesn't do it justice. This thing was an absolute unit. I finished it though.

https://allstar.co/jeopardy-single-day-winnings/

Holy shit. I know that's not what this topic is about, but damn James

Was anyone watching the April 9, 2019 show? He smashed the previous record by almost $34,000.

Chew on this: before Holzhauer appeared on the show, the all time record for one game was $77,000. During his 33-game run, James averaged $77,000 per game.

I.e., they make the movie even more current.

Best example I can think of:

In the original Jurassic Park, Jeff Goldblum's line about if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down at Disney, at least the pirates don't eat the tourists.

Years later, we get the POTC film franchise, and I bet if younger kids were to watch JP now, they wouldn't think twice about POTC being mentioned.

THEORETICALLY the max amount winnable is 142,400 until final jeopardy.

18000 is max in the first round not counting daily double, so if the double was a 200$ question and it was last you could wager 17800 and then youd have 35600 going into the second round.

Thus 36000 without the double in the second round, if the last question was a 400$ you could wager the other 35600 as well as previous winnings which would be 71200 with a perfect first round. Thusly you go to 142,400

THEN you have final jeopardy which is a third and final wager, meaning you could potentially win 284,800 in a single game of jeopardy.

Pardon if my math is off, Im relaxing in a bathtub

It's $566,400. You're forgetting there are two DDs in the second round.

$17,800 in first round.
DD is remaining $200 clue.
Wager everything = 35,600.
Win another $35,200 in second round (minus two $400 DD clues).

Total = 70,800.
First DD in second round = 141,600.
Second DD in second round = 283,200.

Final Jeopardy = 566,400

Meaning, one person answers every clue correctly, for a max "Coryat score" of $54,000. The highest ever is $39,200, by Ken Jennings.

Why? If you don't have to use the correct who what when where? Because it's faster to say? "Izzit"

Because the "who" or "what" response is the question that would prompt the clue that's read. "Is it" is clunky.

For instance:

"What is a natatorium?"
"An indoor swimming pool."

Jeopardy just reverses the exchange. Compared to...

"Is it a natatorium?"
"Hm, what? Is what a natatorium?"

It makes the conversation clunky.

Shattered my third lumbar vertebra after falling 15 feet out of a tree in 2007, at the age of 19. Landed in such a way that the force of the impact concentrated right on L3; crushed it and shattered it, in what's technically called a comminuted fracture.

That wasn't the worst part, though. That distinction goes to the few moments in the hospital when I was laying on the table to get my x-ray. I was wearing shorts and they needed to come off, so they had to arch my back up enough to slide the shorts down. The fall was bad, but the x-ray incident was just... I couldn't even gasp. I just stared off into space, amazed that the human body could endure such pain without passing out.

I've always had a high pain tolerance so that injury raised the bar even higher for me. Charley horses, sprains, nothing really bothers me too much anymore.

Things I have not experienced that sound painful, based on what I've heard:

  • Kidney stones
  • Cluster headaches
  • Childbirth (can never experience this though, as I am male)
