    you can see him manipulating his right hand, pressing down on finger tips as it transforms. Small buttons embedded in there is my bet.

    There are multiple balconies! Plus people aren't too bad about making space.

    If that's not good enough then just enjoy videos people take of it. It's my favorite time of the year.

    Back in high school some friends and I devised a plan involving my leg that ends at my ankle, a video camera, a website, and some girls. Luckily that never came to fruition.

    Yeah, me and my friends were edgy high schoolers.
    A lot of it was me finally getting over having my leg, since it was one of the things that made my elementary and middle school life hell, so I kind of took it to an extreme. It was more of a joke than anything, but we talked about it a lot.
    Of course at the time I wasn't exactly ready to realize/mention that I'm not super into girls lol

    we had a vendor for a VOIP service come demo their product for us and his work laptop was an alienware

    I... think they were trying to impress us? "look at all the cool shit we buy for our employees, we must be so successful" that kind of thing.

    Made me think they were probably idiots.

    Pretty much any dog on the planet would beat Usain Bolt in a footrace if they gave enough of a shit to do it.

    Any reasonably healthy dog, that is. Maybe even dachshunds could do it but maaan I dunno.

    depends on the length of the race

    100 meters?

    yeah probably

    1000 meters?

    not so much, no

    humans are the best long-distance runners

    What kind of dog are we talking about here? A Beagle's gonna be pooped by about 2-300 metres, yeah. A Greyhound would probably slaughter Usain Bolt in a 1000 meter race though. Even a lot of longer distances you've got trained dogs that can run hard for a long time (like the Iditarod). An ultramarathon though?
    Human winner every time.

    I mean humans only win those because we train for them. If you could get a dog disciplined enough to run one and that knew to pace itself rather than sprint, I'd wager it'd win. Of course, humans have the insane willpower to push themselves to do some ridiculous shit for no reason.

    Nah, evolution plays a part as well. Humans can outlast any other animal running because our distant ancestors literally did so to hunt for food. As in, they would actually chase the animal, terminator-style until it collapsed from exhaustion.

    Some breeds of dogs can do pretty damn well though, as they were bred to keep up with human hunters (though by the time we were domesticating dogs we didn't necessarily need to chase our game to death)

    One of our biggest advantages is that we're significantly better at shedding waste heat while running than most other animals.
