Which is due to simpler and cheaper machining. Properly tapered Robbies are still available, they're just expensive as fuck and you have to make sure your bit is tapered as well. It's 1000x easier to seat a Robertson than a square drive, especially if it's blind.

Because of woke.

Ahh, but you recognize me! That's a massive compliment, thank you man.

People who don't understand that religious rules are only for people that really care about the religion. Even most practicing religious folks aren't fully Orthodox

More like we've known, but it's been more tolerable until recently. We got frog boiled, and are just realizing we're cooked.

Fuck it, another thousand?

 
 

I'm not good enough at video games to beat sweaty's, so I like my peaceful polite PvE servers. However I like to play a lot more often than my friends and wind up playing solo a bunch which isn't as much fun. I'm also not good at making friends in game, so I'm making this post. If anyone is interested in joining up let's get together and go get looting!

 

Of course most of the events I'm interested in are broadcast at ridiculous times of day, which makes sense given the time difference. Does anyone know where a guy might find recordings, or at least a livestream? FMHY has lots of TV links, I'm sure I'll be able to find some stuff there, but I'm hopeful that somebody more intelligent than I am is also interested and has a better plan than I do.

Sidenote: what events are y'all looking forward to? I'm excited about Ski Mountaineering, and I think there's a Freeride Ski event as well!

Edit: I understand that some folks have strong opinions about the Olympics, and that's alright. However, I wasn't asking for your opinion on the event in a political manner, and outside of "what events are you looking forward to?" did not ask for any opinion whatsoever. I am interested in watching them, and am looking for the best ways to do so without paying. That doesn't effect you, and frankly your opinion of the event is unwelcome and irrelevant to the conversation at hand.

If you want to have a discussion about all of the ills involved with the Olympics, make a thread about that, in a relevant community. I agree with a lot of the negative opinions about the Games and would happily engage in that conversation in the appropriate context. This thread is about where those of us who do chose to watch may do so. Thank you in advance for stowing your opinion.

Another Edit: regarding representing your nation, that isn't incorrect, but also absolutely minimizes that making it to the Olympics is the height of athletic achievement and many of the athletes dedicated their entire lives in order to reach that point. And you're shitting on that from behind a computer. Younger me was a very competitive skier, I nearly went to college explicitly for ski racing. So I have in that regard a pretty deep understanding of the level of commitment it takes to go beyond that level. It's nothing to snear at and say "well your president/PM/government is bad so you're as guilty as they are" and doing so reflects more on you than the athlete.

 

Like a Badge of Honor.

Apparently arguing against deliberate disinformation makes me a troll.
