See this is the superiority of the metric system. You say a 0.112 km loop and you know that's a 112 m loop. Say 0.07 miles and thefuckisthatonanyotherscale.
I don't think they did it right. A) because he said he ran 32 miles on that loop or 451 and a bit loops and B) I think even if he ran all 3200 miles that year, OP is off by a factor of 10
That's not true. They have put mouse exercise wheels in the wild and mice use them for fun. Mice love to run.
There was actually an interesting "exercise drug" line of research seeing if they could make a pharmaceutical that would make exercise fun. Wonder if that went anywhere.
I think you are thinking of PPAR-δ agonists, it's not about making exercise fun though. More like exercise in a pill. It worked, but gave the rats tumours I believe. People use it anyway, which seems a bit risky.
Damn all that ugly ass driveway space and that one trailertrash asshole ruining his lawn by parking his cars on it... Wonder if it's the same insane loop guy
Pete and Pete was, in my opinion, the absolute pinnacle of what could be done in a show for kids.
Meanwhile, Toby Huss in the picture up there went on to be in Halt and Catch Fire and was the voices of Kahn and Cotton on King of the Hill. Talented dude apart from being the strongest man in the world.
This race, which lasts several weeks, is hosted by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team and takes place every summer in Queens, New York City. The course is 3,100 miles (4,989 km) long. Runners negotiate 5,649 laps of one extended city block in Jamaica, Queens, bounded by 164th Place, Abigail Adams (84th) Avenue, 168th Street, and the Grand Central Parkway — a distance of 0.5488 miles (883 m) — while the streets are in normal use.[2] The runners have 52 days to complete the distance, running from 6 a.m. to midnight, an average of 59.62 miles (95.95 km) every day. The prize is typically a T-shirt, a DVD, or a small trophy.[3]
I’m choosing to imagine he’s running a very very very slightly larger circle each time, getting closer and closer to his neighbours as he goes - instead of it being the precision of the sat nav (and the larger circles only being noticed over a matter of weeks)
I like to think the road leading into the cul-de-sac is accurate in size and his paths varied by about three road-widths and he was running through people's yards at times.
(The truth is probably that the app doesn't draw over previous paths so 450 laps equals 450 lines side-by-side)
The Flash briefly appears in [the alternate universe story] Kingdom Come when the book is establishing its world's status quo. Described as living "between the ticks of a second," the Scarlet Speedster has turned his home of Keystone City into a crime-free paradise. He'd pushed himself so hard and gotten so fast that he was effectively omnipresent and could easily stop any disturbance before it began. However, in the process, Wally West had stopped slowing down to do human things like talk to people or sleep.
Your use of "OOP" and "functional" threw me for a loop for a second, then I remembered this isn't about programming. I should get some extra sleep tonight.
Hey, that's me as an 11-or-12-year old, I used to jog around the block in the old central section of town at night, my parents didn't want me straying, there was an old park nearby with shady characters lurking there at night, and the old red light bar district was about three blocks away in the other direction.
See also the Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race, in which the runners lap one city block 5,649 times over 52 days. The prize is typically a T-shirt, a DVD, or a small trophy.
