  • That’s not my theory. That’s the data.

    One interpretation could be that women were constantly engaged in strenuous endurance activities and so through evolution built up tolerances against exhaustion that at least rivals if not exceeds that of men. And one historical activity that used a lot of stamina and took a lot of tolerance against fatigue was the way in which ancient humans hunted.

    That’s not what a theory is, it’s a hypothesis at best, hope that helped.


  • Women were first allowed to compete in marathons in 1972. In 1972 the men’s record was 2:10:30. The current record is 2:00:35 which is about an 8% difference. Pretty close to the difference between men and women currently.

    The first women’s record was 3:40:22 and the current women’s record is 2:11:53.11 which is 40% faster.

    Once funding for women’s athletics reaches parity and once girls are encouraged into athletics as much as boys, then we will see if the ladies catch up. So far they’re doing a pretty good job catching up, and you can’t look at one current window in time and say you have the answer, you need to look at trends.



  • The way my life’s been going lately I haven’t been able to play any games in a long time and thankfully for my wallet I’ve also stopped buying them. I do however open up Epic every Thursday to pick up the free games. Some of them have been pretty decent and one of these days I’ll get around to playing some of them. Not to long ago was Fallout 1, 2, and tactics which I have always wanted to try. Just have to find a free minute and some motivation and brain power, hopefully all at the same time.


  • Walkable cities are even better. I used to drive daily and then I moved close enough to walk to work with conveniently located grocery stores. Didn’t drive much at all for years and THAT was convenient. Never sit in traffic and just stop in the store and pick up a few things on your way home from work. As long as I have to be working that is as close to livin’ the dream as possible for me.


  • Yep, the whole thing was projection. You’re complaining about toxicity in comments and yet you are exuding toxicity with every word.

    Maybe instead of stopping reading, you should actually read and respond to it honestly instead of deflecting back into ad hominem attacks. If you are able to actually put forth an explanation defending your position instead of attacking me, then we could have a discussion about it. What was snide about that comment? What strawman did I make? As it stands, you’re just doing what you’re blaming everyone else of doing.


  • The bridge on the left is the same bridge and has the same wooden flooring. It might just be hard for you to see in the shadows.

    You are getting downvoted for saying it isn’t the same bridge in both pictures.

    Point out the “snide” in this. They asked a question and this comment answered their question honestly. You can attack me and insult me all you like (which funnily enough makes you the hypocrite considering I did not attack you and you’re the one who was complaining about attacking comments) but it won’t change the fact the the original commenter here that you’re defending got upset and defensive about a decent comment honestly answering their question. Maybe you should check your own reading comprehension before going after that of others.

    You’re giving them too much credit. Yeah it would be nice if online discussions could be more civil but the “snide” comments mentioned were not worth getting upset about and one of them wasn’t even snide at all but actually helpful and genuinely answering the question to which they responded defensively and playing the victim. That kind of victim mentality to actually helpful comments that maybe the original commenter didn’t want to hear and editing to whine about downvotes is just as annoying as moderately uncivil comments.
