Watch the weather after the 7pm news and guess which colour shirt (blue, white or purple) the weather man will be wearing.
We thought it was a 50/50 because we sussed he only owns 3 shirts, so only 2 are clean.
Then I realised he rotates them in the same order, so the game is over. :(
Not that obscure really, but I’ve watched every race of the world cup biathlon season for getting on for a decade, (and many races in the years before that, it’s just I was at the mercy of what Eurosport chose to show or not.) More-or-less the only sport I follow closely these days.
PS I’ve shot a gun once in my life (clay pigeon shooting), and never skied.
I stream tattoo competition shows but I fast forward past all of the drama and only watch the actual tattooing and judging. I can get through a season in < couple hours. I have no tattoos.
In the before times I was an opera enthusiast. I’m not making that up. Picked up the habit when I was in school in Austin, which was terrific because I’d get a student discount and I could there-and-back-for-a-matinee to Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth or San Antonio. I used to own a copy of Luigi Nono’s Intolleranza 1960 (sadly lost in a move) and I’d wager no other unstucker could claim that.
Saw Michael Nyman’s The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (based on the Oliver Sacks case study) in 2010. I don’t particularly go for Baroque or Classical or Bel Canto, but anything from the late Romantic period to whatever’s as fresh as this morning’s groceries interests me.
I need more info about this. What kind of high brow shit?
I love Edwards explanation of opera to her. If a person sees an opera and loves it, then opera will become a part of them, and they will love it until they die.
But if a person does not connect to it, they may learn to appreciate it, but it will never mean to them what it does to a true opera lover.
I went on a Devon Larratt binge a while ago. The most important thing I learned was that the movie Over the Top was not over the top; that’s actually how professional arm wrestling looks, whereas Rocky looks nothing like real boxing obv.
Yep, I got the gene from my mother’s side. I was lucky enough to convert the baby brother; not so lucky with the sister-in-law.
I have NO idea what you’re talking about, but imma wiki it
Hmm maybe I’m not remembering it correctly then. I seem to recall reading that he goes to some place like NIH or JHU regularly to get evaluated but it’s been a long time since I’ve looked at it. It was around the time Isaiah Austin was diagnosed which was the first I’d heard of it. Could have been FAKE NEWS or maybe I’m mixing him up with someone else or a different connective tissue disorder.
Dropping babies
LOL my man
For my main youtube account, I regularly delete stuff from my history that isn’t good music that I like. I use the recommendations alot to find new music, so if I watch a movie trailer or book review or WAP, my recommendations get filled with garbage. Luckily, watching embedded youtubes on Unstuck doesn’t count towards my history.
This is a really neat thread. Kudos to everyone for sharing stuff they might normally keep a little close to themselves. I guess I have two. Neither are truly obscure, but definitely on the more random side as far as hobbies go.
I play pickleball competitively (racquet sport that is like tennis and ping pong put together). I actually got my first sponsorship from an athletic apparel company in January, right before being sideline with two surgeries and then everything shutting down for covid. Even being sidelined for 7 months, I usually watch some matches or highlights every day. It is the fastest growing sport and is super addicting. Barrier to entry is low so I highly encourage you check it out if you’re looking for a new healthy activity.
Second, I’m pretty into escape rooms. Have played 142 games so far and I am the editor and one of the writers for the biggest escape game review site.
Have you ever studied electrodynamics at all?
My BS is in aeronautical engineering specializing in fluid dynamics, but when I went to get my MS, the university where I was stationed only had Mechanical or Electrical Engineering programs, and since I was working with microwave applications for the military, I chose EE.
There is a beautiful symmetry/similarities between the fundamentals of fluid and electromagnetic flow that made what everyone else thought were the toughest EE classes actually the easiest for me, because when you break them down, the Maxwell equations look (and feel? that’s weird but they do) like the NS equations, and it just all made sense to me.
I fuckin love Escape Rooms and have dreamed of designing a few. I have found that a cool premise is worthless without a good design, but a good design brings even a stupid premise to life.
Okay to see some of your reviews? PM or fuck off is no problem if you don’t want them public.
Pickleball is an absolute blast. I played 3 or 4 times a week in 2019 and we were super competitive. Usually played doubles, but singles was fun too. I hit a top spin serve that gives people trouble. It looks like it’s going long, but dives for the baseline at the last second and lands in by a few inches. Haven’t mastered the snap hook yet, but have successfully executed it a few times. Impossible to return, but super hard to hit a good one.
Okay y’all have my interest in this Pickle Rick game
I play a form of pickle ball for adults with self esteem, it’s called tennis
High level pickleball is nuts. This highlight reel is from 4 years ago, and the game and talent level has exploded since. I use this clip to demonstrate what it looks like at the pro level, but there are now regularly pro points that are even more insane than these.
