Beyond LARPing---Full contact sword fighting

skinnydaddy1 says...

Almost looks like SCA but according to their wiki they only started doing this in 09 and SCA has been around since 1966.

I used to be really in to the SCA. They have two types of fighting . Heavy like what you see in the video and rapier combat. (light combat)
It can be a hell of a lot of fun. If you don't mind the occasional broken bone or wound.
The Drunken tourny is the most common cause for an ER visit.

It can get expensive but they do have loaner gear that you can use if you want to try it.

Jeremy Lin is a Victim of Repeated Uncalled Flagrant Fouls

NBA's Response


NBA Response to New York Times Story on Flagrant Fouls and Charlotte Hornets guard Jeremy Lin
April 15, 2016

After reviewing our extensive officiating database, we have found no data that suggests Jeremy Lin is disadvantaged by our officiating staff. NBA referees use a set of criteria (available here) provided by the league office in determining whether a foul should be called flagrant. Following the game, contact that is deemed flagrant by referees and other hard contact (whether called or not) is reviewed by NBA Basketball Operations. As part of that review, Basketball Operations uses that same set of criteria, multiple video angles and enhancements, and its comparable database to calibrate its judgment. When deemed appropriate, a foul can be upgraded or downgraded and applicable penalties can be assessed. While some of the plays in the video involved hard contact, none was subsequently deemed a Flagrant Foul given the full circumstances, angles and comparables from past games.

With respect to the data, over the last three seasons, Mr. Lin ranked 21st among all players in number of drives to the basket with 1,537. While he has not drawn a flagrant foul in that time, neither have other guards known for their driving ability like Reggie Jackson (2,031 drives), Tony Parker (1,974), Tyreke Evans (1,969), Ty Lawson (1,891), Kyrie Irving (1,649) or Victor Oladipo (1,544). Conversely, Mr. Lin has drawn more common fouls on those drives than any of those previously listed players and has drawn fouls at the seventh-highest rate among the 23 players with more than 1,500 drives.

Furthermore, given the infrequency of flagrant fouls (roughly 1 per every 500 foul calls), it is not statistically significant that none of Mr. Lin’s 814 fouls drawn were deemed flagrant.

Sigh... I have so much hate for people who treat works of automotive and mechanical art like that....

Most of us will never be able to own or even ride in one and they treat it like a damn 4x4.....

Just my personal opinion.

omg!... omg!... omg!...HOLY SHIT!

The Most Costly Joke in History

skinnydaddy1 says...

Sigh... Don't care. I know its true. Here's a story about it a year before the russian government propaganda channel decided to "Report it"

http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2014/07/14/pentagons-big-budget-f-35-fighter-cant-turn-cant-climb-cant-run/

My point was that RT could have proof that the US government was responsible for every murder and death the world over since 1776 and I still would not care . Simply because of who is saying it.

Do a search, it is completely true. The Air Force tried to play it down, saying that the test was only to test current dogfighting methods and that the F35 was designed for future conflict dogfighting which is 'going' to be stealth based and long range conflict only.

The plane is a debacle worse than the Bradley fighting vehicle, more expensive, and we are too far in to back out without embarrassing the big players.

Sorry, I don't care. The story could be completely true. But because its coming from putins personal propaganda channel I have to dismiss this so called leaked report for the pure BS that it is.

Atlas, The New Generation

skinnydaddy1 jokingly says...

A Boston Dynamics engineer was found today, neatly stacked on a shelf in a box along with what authorities are saying could be bits of a hockey stick. The only witness, a 2nd Gen, Atlas robot. is not talking.

On a side note. This is almost a year old now and its just now getting mass attention.
