I would have assumed that would leave lighter markings. Perhaps a urology consult is in order.

USWNT Olympic Soccer 2024
My daughter (no pics) was in the office of one of her school counselors yesterday when the gold medal match was on. The counselor commented on the age of one of the US players (37, I think). My daughter responded with "Wow, that's great!" The counselor snapped back with "No it's not, she needs to retire!" That counselor happens to be the mother of a certain former Longhorn player mentioned in the previous post. Maaayyyybe not the most objective, but as a parent, I get it!

I've never seen the US send prlims relay participants to the medal stand in any sport. He will get his medal.

2024 Paris Olympics
Didn't bother to watch at first, because artistic gymnastics. But, after so many comments, I watched. Glad I did, that was very impressive, and the fact that she represents Ukraine makes it that much more rewarding!

2024 Paris Olympics
Yep, Russian dude. Dead before he hit the water. Hit your head on the springboard a la Greg Louganis and get stitches. Hit it on the platform and get a body bag. I remember watching a female diver go off the platform and slap her hair on the concrete. She had SHORT hair. I about lost my lunch.

Why would they? They were invading Ukraine, not the other way around! Until now... Brilliant strategy for Ukraine!

Woodworking, DIY, and home repair thread
So a couple of months ago our main garage door broke. The metal piece that went across the top of the door that the opener was attached to pulled out and ripped out several screws along the way. I called a garage door repair guy, who took one look and said can't fix it, has to be replaced, and quoted me $1,800 for a new door and opener. Told them I would get back to them. This past weekend, I got to thinking... If all that happened was that those screws pulled out, I could probably just get the piece back in place, drill some new pilot holes and put in some new screws. 90 minutes by a rank amateur and $4.27 at Home Depot later, I once again have a fully functioning garage door with more screws now than it had before to minimize the chance of it happening again. Shame on me for not investigating before calling a professional, but the professional can kiss right off with his quote.

Can't Figure This Out
Same weight was never part of the discussion. The point of the entire confusion is the weight of the water displaced. I'm saying those two items - though they don't weigh the same - would displace the same amount of water, because they are the same volume.

Can't Figure This Out
What?!? I'm no nerdz, but I'm smart enough to know you could make an identical sized button out of both 10K gold and 24K gold. The 24K button would weigh more, but would it displace more water? I'm thinking no.
-
Can't Figure This Out
So with the button analogy - if you weighed the displacement caused by a 10K gold button and a 24K gold button with identical size and volume measurements, the displaced weight would be different? I can't wrap my noggin around how this would not be identical due to identical volumes.

Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
Very possible the shock stopped his heart, and the impact hitting the ground re-started it.

Can't Figure This Out
This doesn't really correlate with the question, because wood floats. Try this comparison: If you suspended a golf ball with a wire fully submerged in the middle of a container of water, and then did the same thing with a piece of lead the exact same volume as the golf ball. They would both sink. I would think they would displace the same amount of water equivalent to their volume, but this principle would suggest that the lead would displace more.

That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't figure out how Archimedes Principle would apply.
