i never fell for the notion that piracy is theft bc where i grew up the only dvd shop in town just had 1 box of each movie for display, and when you brought it to the front the dude would just burn a pirated copy of it right in front of you and no one ever cared

What I love about this is seeing that he’s clearly a hockey skater. Now, I don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to cold slippy antics, but what I notice is different between hockey skaters and nearly all other skaters is that hockey skaters essentially run on the ice. Any other skater is trying to glide, perform, or be otherwise smooth. Create a new type of mobility, but on ice. But hockey skaters? The floor is slippery but that’s why they’ve got knives on their feet, so it’s running time. Run run run run.
So this is like playing tag on ice, except the one guy you’re trying to get is magically not on ice. And I think that’s pretty neat.
He’s also making really good use of the stoppers on the front of his skates. You can clearly see several times that when he starts juking and running he’s not actually running with the wheels in contact with the ground – he’s tipped forward to run on the rubber stoppers, which will give him more traction on the slippery surface. He can change direction faster because none of his kinetic energy is going into countering the inertia of spinning wheels.
I don’t know if the picks on the front of ice skates are used similarly (because ice hockey is not so much of a national pastime in Australia) but I wouldn’t be surprised. But I spent a bit of time with a roller derby team, and I recognised that particular stopper run :)
Hockey skates have a smooth front. Honestly judging by the stopper use and spin jump at the end he probably dabbles in figure skating as well.
the twitter communists currently are getting mad because some random undergrads made an edible burrito tape bc they should instead be doing medical research
i had to work hard to make sure the similarly corrosive take of “only few people in the world make their own food” also fit in the screenshot
lest y’all think i was making up a conversation that wasn’t in the op the comments are all like this
btw the vaccine in question is a cancer treatment (ie. not a preventative/immunization) similar to another one already also used in the US and is currently undergoing clinical trials in the US.
Okay, but also the tape is getting glossed over a lot. Seriously, food safe tape could be revolutionary for people with poor mobility/one hand or any other kind of disabilities that don’t have the ability to hold something closed while they eat it. This is really beneficial to a lot of people and pretending it isn’t simply because it doesn’t cure cancer is pretty stupid.
