I don't want to brag or anything but my body looks very much like the triathlon graph

What is the purpose of this type of chart over say a pie chart ? They seem to be getting more common.

Yeah but if in the 60s you sold 1m tickets then that’s all your revenue basically, but today you might 500k tickets and also get 5m+ streaming views from people at home.

Easily compensated?

Check section 8.

> So if a 85 kg oarsman pulls a 5 km erg in 19 minutes (=1140s), and a 70 kg oarsman takes 19.5 minutes (=1170s), their equivalent 'boat speeds', normalised for a 75 kg oarsman, would be:

> (8.8) (85kg): TB = 1140 / ( (90/100)0.167 ) = 1160s = 19m 20s > (8.9) (70kg): TB = 1170 / ( (90/85)0.167 ) = 1159s = 19m 19s

> i.e. a bit of a nightmare for the person who has to select between the two. (Using the 0.222 power would give times 1167s and 1155s respectively, so the lighter rower would win).

Now this is using accepted formulas for estimating rower performance on water based on an erg (indoor rower). So it's not perfect, but it's a great example of why not being bigger didn't mean faster. Remember drag is constant for all movement including coasting.

So in this example the 15kg heavier person would be about the same speed as the 70kg person. You can't assume that the extra weight will always be just muscle. Fat, bones, etc count as well. You are unlikely to increase just muscle (at best you will have a body fat percentage of around 5-8% for an elite athlete). So any increase in weight will carry dead weight as well.

Physics dictates that you need to increase displacement in order to float a heavier weight on water. The more water you displace the more water will be in your way when you try to move. Drag is drag and it affects you. People can only gain so much strength improvements with weight.

I'm surprised the weight classes are not more visible then they are.

Only tip is to do a roll-up of gross income from all sources and then split it into pre-tax/taxable. Great job tracking your income and expenses.

Thought the same thing 👍

Haircut prices have gone through the roof since Covid imo. My barber charges $40 for haircut and beard. $2 fee for appointment. And I tip $8. So total is $50 per haircut. I get a hair cut every ~5weeks.

So sorry to hear you weren’t well during that time. I hope you’re better now. And know that I loved your chart!

HOA certainly sucks. This was my first home and I was just looking to get out of paying rent, which I did. I would certainly avoid HOA for my next home. Or at least do more research.

$500 is literally one cheap haircut every 2 weeks. Haircut prices used to be like $8 just a few years ago, now it's $18+ for a quick cut at Walmart.

Ah, thanks.. I was just about to ask.

Thanks! Engineering actually.

I'd love to see something where all the body measurements are taken into account(Height, Weight, Arm length, Leg Length, Shoulder Width etc) so that people could use their dimensions to figure out which sport they would be most likely to go to the Olympics for based on their body type. I know it's not something that will happen I'm just dreaming.

Curious if anyone can explain the dip in the middle for triathlon? Or is it pure coincidence?

I steal my wife's car sometimes... does that count?

What area do you live in that your rent is that low? Sick post, dude

ETA: just remembered roommates are a thing

This is amazing! One of the best ones I've seen. You must have a finance or accounting background haha

It was answered you numbskull.

The fact of the matter is your position on democracy and voting is inconsistent with the near entirety of the civilized and educated world. As such, there's no point even talking any longer. You're a disgrace to everything a "good" andor "virtuous" person is and will be.

This was posted by a man. But yeah whe I was looking for a house an HOA was a non-starter.

Oh sure, but without the smoothing youd see clifs.

The bubbles/clusters around certain weights immediately told me this sport had a weight class even though I don’t know a lot about it. My point is, even if it’s smoothed, you can still see the weight classes.
