sweetnsimple786 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Lol also, underarmor really helps... um actually i think underarmor is a brand, but it's basically spandex not only in the form of shorts but it's like a skin-tight shirt/pants/whatever-you-need combo. It's easier to get tackled and recover and just weather the elements if you're wearing it. It's pretty amazing for all sports, but especially co-ed sports haha.

Vvi Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 If people have such short shorts that they need extra shorts underneath to cover their backsides, why not just get a longer pair of shorts instead? I get the point of Spandex under cheerleading skirts, but not shorts. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychobabble Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Forgive me for sounding dumb, but I never understood the point of spandex in sports. Why do people (actually I guess it's just girls) where spandex under their regular shorts in sports like soccer? It seems to me that it would just be more uncomfortable.It could be a number of reasons. I never wore spandex so I don't know about some of these.- Could be comfortable- Need a little extra clothing without increasing weight and volume (So fabric does get in the way of certain things)- Reduces risk of injuring certain muscles... Like the hamstring.- And it feel like there wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetnsimple786 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 to add to psychobabble's list, aerodynamics? long/baggy shorts=more air resistance? heh Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Are you a guy? Some girls' shorts are kind of short and... inappropriate. There's probably a better reason though.Erm no, I'm a girl aha. I play on a soccer team and see lots of people wearing it under their shorts...I just never understood the point of it but never asked anyone. It makes a lot more sense to me now though, thanks xDD Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
__inthemaking Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Forgive me for sounding dumb, but I never understood the point of spandex in sports. Why do people (actually I guess it's just girls) where spandex under their regular shorts in sports like soccer? It seems to me that it would just be more uncomfortable.I wear spandex shorts (or tighter cotton shorts) underneath soccer shorts because it feels too naked for me haha. Soccer shorts are really baggy, if I sit down cross-legged, you can pretty much see all the way up my thigh , thus the need for shorts underneath.

Shorty Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Spandex helps keep you warm so you don't pull any muscles while Underarmour helps keep you dry and cool.That is what I've been told by past coaches and teachers. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetnsimple786 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 You know the wavy lines you can often see on hot days as you look into the distance? Why is that? Also, why is there a mass of white, translucent, ascending fog around trees on wet days? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 The answer to your first question is a mirage.The second question, I think, is low hanging clouds. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetnsimple786 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Gracias.Is there a reason for the fan inside a laptop to work less efficiently [and thus turn off and on more frequently] when the laptop's upside down? I have one vent thing on the bottom, but a larger one on the side. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Ok I thought I'll answer to those last 2.Well on the first one about the waves... I actually think that under the heat of the sun the ground gets so hot that the warm air is moving up from it. So my answer would be warm air movingWell the fans on laptops usually do have a side entry for air as then it can be cooled when carried on the lap. As you know you can feel the heat getting to your legs after about 1-2 hours of having laptop on your lap. Thats because the entry vent is too small to keep it cool or the temperature on the laptops system has been set quite high 70-80C. And why do they work less efficiently when upside down. Well i think its really because when the laptop is upside down all the air flows over it cooling it. And the sensors in the computer mark it and at some point do stop or start the fan. Hopefully you got your answer after that long story. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiara Angel Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 There's this random question I was always wanted to know the answer to:Why do babies hate flying so much? Every time there's one on the plane they can't stop crying! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetnsimple786 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Aw lolThe changes in pressure when you fly would cause babies and little children to cry. Your ears hurt because your body's trying to maintain homeostasis. Finally after your ears pop or whatever, you feel better. In the meantime, you grit your teeth while a baby... cries. Also, I'd guess infants' heads are more sensitive? But that's just a guess. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, since the pressure changes during takeoff and landing (that's when I feel the pain), shouldn't they be crying throughout those times and not throughout the entire flight?

sweetnsimple786 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Perhaps they take longer to acclimate? And the new surroundings just spook them a bit? Plus they cry to communicate. Luckily I haven't been subject to torturous wailing recently... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
