I finished fifth because I moneyed Buzz Bissinger instead of the question where my name was literally in the clue
I don't feel so bad for finishing 68th in the deadspin 1DS after seeing that @bubbaprog.xyz himself finished 5th

Once again on TV it was said that all curling stones come from one place in the world (Ailsa Craig). That's misleading! It is two places, the second one being Trefor, Wales.

All Olympic stones come from Scotland, but many North American club stones are Trefor w/ blue hone (Ailsa) inserts

anyways USA/Casper is up against Yannick Schwaller and Switzerland, a veteran team full of shotmakers. Benoit Schwarz throws fourth because he can/will make just about anything called

oh wow Tabitha Peterson and USA upset South Korea 8-4 in the first womens curling match. That is an upset. Peterson was 2-7 lifetime against Team Gim, who is ranked #3 on the tour

proud of rich ruohonen for speaking out about ice (the bad kind) at the olympics but he just posted a hilarious video about luge to his private facebook page and I hope he shares it with everyone

The Swiss finally invented something with more holes
lol the Swiss far right is pushing the NIMBY final boss ballot measure with a literal population cap

Marc Kennedy has the worst shot of the week, not the person I was expecting
February 11, 2026 at 9:00 PM
meanwhile Marc Muskatewitz of Germany had an absolute humdinger of an angle run double to score two on Canada (after a measure) and force an extra end
February 11, 2026 at 8:49 PM
what a smoooooth runback for the win. first one out of the way boys
February 11, 2026 at 8:43 PM
Kevin Martin and Rich Ruohonen have perpetual Nice Old Curler Voice, and it's not something I know how to describe, but it's such a warm feeling to hear

Let's talk about LSD in curling (sits in a chair backwards)

the Last Stone Draw is a pre-game ritual where each team throws two draws to the button (one per turn)

the team with the lowest total (closest to the center) gets hammer (last rock) in the first end
Hey @suss2hyphens.bsky.social, could you explain what this section of the curling livestats page means?
February 11, 2026 at 7:41 PM
Danny Casper doesn't quite have the feel yet. He's throwing heavy. A team like Czechia is going to help ease him into the Olympics but right now the Czechs are throwin' it pretty well right now
February 11, 2026 at 7:00 PM
Team Casper hive engage

1st throw, end 7: draw was a foot heavy
