#2 I mean, that's been my diet since I was a broke student back circa 2000. In fact, I just finished my one daily meal a few minutes ago. Been working out fine for me so far...

(Followup: I just saw your other comment further down that implies you knew that last bit. Apologies for pedantically explaining something you already knew. ๐Ÿ˜Š I do understand how a thread can get away from one. It just seemed like I was reading a justification for the SLC protests being meaningful, and my brain was all like: "ehhhhh....".)

Ok, sure. But we're getting away from the original point of this thread. Utah as a whole may be red but SLC very much is not (geographer here: look up MAUP sometime). Utah is only red because much of the state outside SLC (admittedly including the suburbs) is so overwhelmingly red and SLC isn't big enough to counterbalance it.

But SLC proper is actually ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ blue, and so protests like this [A] shouldn't be surprising, and [B] don't quite speak to quite the phenomenon that dynamojoe implied.

That thought, much like the hypothetical serve, has also passed through my my mind. But I've come to reject it.

Serena can (& often does) double fault when playing vs strong opponents, where she feels the need to squeeze out every possible edge. But against a rank amateur? She's probably not going to be pushing herself the same way. And by slowing her serves down just a few MPH (& not worrying so much about the spin) she's entirely capable of landing her serve in the court every. Single. Time.
