Anybody know a good place where I can find a high quality streaming feed in English?

www.nbcolympics.com has pretty much every single event from the start of the games, along with nearly every event live too. Im not sure if it will work for someone outside the US though.

Phelps broke his 200m fly world record with his goggles filled. Beast.

Yes because swimming in a straight line blinded after doing it for 8 hours a day for the last 12 years of your life is hard. Its almost second nature to him, think of it as walking to us. I give him credit but hate how the media gave him more credit then leziak who actually won his 2nd medal for him.

I assume you didn't watch his interview--he wanted to get under 51 but couldn't because they kept filling. Doing turns with a filled goggle isnt exactly easy.

Rappy we must be long lost brothers. We go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. In this case, you would just have your pillows positioned correctly to hide her one flaw!

She almost looks like Eva Mendez.

Except you like Chelsea ;)

Did you watch it? He even said he won the race by counting strokes and looking at the T on the bottom of the pool for turns. If that isn't second nature then I don't know what is.

Don't hate because we can afford trophies :ninja:

Well yeah, the pool helped but the goggles weren't helping at all.

"My goggles kept filling up with water during the race," he told the media. "I wanted a world record, I wanted 1:51 or better, but in the circumstances not too bad I guess."

"I couldn't see anything for the last 100m, my goggles pretty much filled up with water. It just kept getting worse and worse through the race and I was having trouble seeing the walls to be honest"

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
