Reply to Recommendation for a nice inexpensive pen by keepinitoldskool

Uniball Jetstream hands down. If you know, you know. Otherwise go buy one and find out. They are super inexpensive and a pleasure to write with.

Reply to TIL Devon Allen, track & field athlete/Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, was disqualified in the World Athletic Championships for a controversial false start. The starting blocks measured his reaction time from the time the gun went off at 0.099, which is 0.001 seconds faster than legally allowed. by The_Critical_Cynic

As I recall the broadcasters mentioned the 0.1 reaction time was based on the average reaction time of collegiate athletes. Of course there’s two problems with that, 1 is that these are professional athletes who are faster than collegiate athletes, and 2 they should not be using the average reaction time but rather than minimum reaction time. We shouldn’t be penalizing the fastest person for being too fast.
