Ban confession necessary?
How does that "steer" the curl? So I need the curl to go a bit to the left and hit yours, bumping it out of the ring. Is the coefficient of drag that critical that the small change in ice tension makes it move?

Is this why I also can't steer a shopping cart when I am riding on the back? I confess, I have been trying for YEARS to work out the steering on the shopping carts.

I used to steer the carts with my feet dragging against the wheel. Drag against the left wheel, go left. Drag against the right wheel, go right. No precision or accuracy, but it worked a bit. More fun to get inside and let someone push. You never know what's going to happen. Close your eyes and pray for the best. lol

Edit: even better to be the one who pushes someone else in the cart.

This wont steer the curl, the route and goal is afaik initialized by the curler. But if any micro obstacles are present onto the ice surface this would surely affect the slide. I read also somewhere that the brushing is applying very small temperature effect to the ice surface and this should increase the thin water film to let the curl better slide.

I confess that I thought of "Bubbles" from Trailer Park Boys when this conversation about shopping carts came up.

You guys ever had those RWS shopping carts? The ones where all four wheels are on casters and free to go wherever the fuck they please?

Now that's a nightmare. Whatever monster decided to inflict those things on the world deserves to be strung up next to the inventor of mustard gas

MacKenzie Scott > Jeff Bezos

Seriously. She doesn't get the credit she deserves. She has reportedly donated more than $8 Billion in the past two years alone.

Jeff? Less than $1 Billion, TOTAL.

Your guess is as good as mine. I know why the owe part happened. At least part of it, my W4s were not right. Still not sure how just that caused this.

She actually was content to be anonymous until people made a stink that when donations are that high and it could be life altering for an org or possible shadiness on the part of the org so they kept demanding and harping "for checks and balances" for her to disclose who's getting billions so now she does a tiny blurb once she's donated and after some time has passed.

She's a real one. Done more good quietly than probably Musk, Besos and Branson combined.

I confess that I am moved by the number of people that are going all-in on supporting Ukraine, including young people like these. These two guys are just one of many many from around the world putting everything on pause and fighting for the greater good.

The so-called "International Legion" that Ukraine President Zalenskyy has requested is coming together rapidly.

In Austin, Texas, a software developer said he would draw on his experience as a U.S. Army cadet to fight for Ukraine.

"If they're willing to defend democracy then I think those that benefit from a democratic society are duty bound to support them," said the 25-year-old, who asked that his name not be used. "I'm not telling my parents until I head to the airport."


Canadian Bryson Woolsey quit his job as a cook on Sunday after seeing Zelenskiy's appeal. He has no military training and plans to buy a plane ticket to Poland, cross into Ukraine and volunteer for combat.

"I felt like I had to do something," said Woolsey, 33, of Powell River, British Columbia, who became restless as he watched images of wounded women and children in Ukraine.

Why did you start yesterday? Lent doesn’t start until tomorrow. By the way, I don’t road rage. I just can’t seem to drive without saying dumb ass.

It drives me batshit crazy - this damn pack mentality. Everyone gauges their speed with the car next to them. I'm behind you and you crawl, I move to pass and you pace yourself with me, except you can't keep up. Oh, the joy of 617 horses

^^^ If I remember correctly, while you're utilizing the 617 ponies you do a little hair flip before that.
