#44 I grew up in Montana and now live in Oregon. Neither state has sales tax and I'm still this little kid.

I was just about to say this exact thing. Sure, she'd still fall on her face but she wouldn't break her knees and ruin the hurdle in the process.

There's a movement called "Greater Idaho" which is many people of Eastern Oregon (borders Idaho to the west and quite rural and therefore conservative) who are trying to expand the borders of Idaho into much of Oregon because they don't believe Oregon's liberal politics (dominated by the larger cities in the western part of Oregon) align with their values. Idaho is also where many Republican politicians fled to as a protest because they know they were going to lose voting on a bill (I think).

#9 I can't figure out why this jump failed like that. He had the makings of a decent jump in that he had speed and left the ground in the proper place. Maybe his toy hand just gave up and let go.

That event is the triple jump. And, yes, he's doing it correctly, more or less. Although that’s not the event I coach and there are likely improvements in form that he could make. It’s like long jumping but with more complications just like hurdles are like sprinting with more complications.

They don't do math like that. You either cross the finish line with the time you crossed in or you get disqualified if your hurdle impedes another runner. They don't add time for each hurdle knocked over, only that it's less efficient and might make you run a tad slower. Or fall.

But she could get disqualified if it’s determined that the knocked down hurdle impeded another racer.

He does look like he weighs more than the average. But that's probably all the muscle he's got.

#5. Ube is just a sweet potato that is purple. Used a lot in Filipino foods.

I grew up in Montana and never had one. I learned about it on some Food Network show. It was pretty localized to Butte and the miners primarily from England who brought the food over and it evolved over time.

Superman isn't interesting because he can rip a grown man apart like a lobster tail at an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. He's interesting because he knows what doing that to a kid’s dad in front of him would mess that kid up and chooses not to and gets the police involved; then threatens the guy that he might lobster-tail him if he misbehaves again.

Or maybe the stickers are close too the hole to make it easier to tell what you're selecting.

Trump is 6'2" and Zelenskyy is 5'7", but Zelenskyy is the bigger man by far.

Broken poles don't count as an attempt according to World Athletics which is the governing body.

The poles can be made of any material of any length.

According to World Athletics, a broken pole does not count as an attempt. So she likely broke her pole on her last attempt (at that height) which still only left her with one attempt.

It might be better as the momentum just carries them onto to mat. Breaks usually happen only a few feet off the ground because that's where overloading the pole happens.

At this level of competition, the athletes are using their own personal poles which cost $750-1200 depending on length, composition, and other factors. When a pole breaks the biggest injury happens in the hands from absorbing all that energy from when the pole bent. Then there's the mental component of overcoming such an occurrence. Much better to just let the attempt go instead of putting yourself at such risk.

#28 was probably the best example I've seen as how Superman disguised himself as Clark. Clark didn't look like a bodybuilder with glasses; he looked like a bit of a tall chubby guy with bad posture who was always bumping into people and things. That was his secret way off getting people out of harm's way.

At least this allows us a modicum of understanding hot Faux News has brainwashed conservatives. A difference is that I'm seeing people fact-check these stores and then "aww, shucks"-ing while admitting the truth that it isn't real.
