    They actually literally tax you on the gold. Like they sheer off 25% of the metal from your medal.

    uncle sam deserves a cut

    There are a lot of talented, successful athletes who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn't -- look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so fit. There are a lot of fit people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

    If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great trainer somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a gold medal -- you didn't earn that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the athletes could make money off the Internet.

    The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.

    the thing that irked me about this speech wasn't the "you didn't build that" as much as the "Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet."


    that isn't why the internet was created at all!!

    V true. However, once it became obvious that the internet was going to become a thing, the US government somehow managed to support it without smothering it in its crib. It's impressive so long as go by what I call the "Of Mice and Men" metric.

    Cables are too manly for me. Much too manly. One day though. One day I'll be the guy with enormous tits doing terrible things to himself in the frame.

    I effing love cables. My chest is the one muscle that I've gotten noticable, consistent growth/ripping in over the past six months. The only drawback is that bench is where you gain the most mass across your chest, hands down. And bench is too technical and far too miserably discourging without a buddy.

    Uh what? Use less weight. Bench is a pretty good staple exercise.

    I could use less weight, but then I'm a fair amount under my bodyweight for reps. And that feels like I'm not working at all. If I use my bodyweight or more, I get exhausted right then and discourged, and end up slogging through the next hour, instead of destroying for an hour+.

    Yes, this sounds stupid, but there it is.

    Your NPR is weird.

    My NPR is...
    6-10 am(they repeat starting at 8) Morning Edition
    10-10:30 Colorado matters(local news)
    10:30-11 BBC Business
    11-12 Fresh Air
    12-2 Talk of the Nation/Science Fridays
    2-4 The World(PRI and BBC)
    4-7 All Things Considered
    7-7:30 Colorado Matters replay
    7:30-6am is usually just BBC world service

    What is this World Have Your Say?

    Also weekends outside of This American Life, Radiolab, and some of the Showcase stuff is pretty meh. Also Morning Edition-Weekend isn't bad.
