What is the biggest hoop you've ever hooped?

This one was 39.25 ft in circumference. Apologies for the poor video quality. It’s pretty old. Also, a car started driving up the street so I had to skedaddle.

Hulahoop cartwheel

I posted this here maybe a year ago, but I don't know... Maybe you didn't see it

51 years old and still hooping.

This was a bit messy because the hoops were all different sizes and weights. I had a 42 inch, several heavier 36 inch and an old-school Wham-O. (Also just recently recovered from a bicycle crash resulting in a broken shoulder and months of physical therapy with no hooping, so I’m pretty rusty)

In the United Kingdom, you can win a prize with two matches and no Powerball, but not in the USA. Is that fair?

Just feels like with the steady price increase, that would be nice

Why do Jeopardy mods shy away from controversial topics even if they are directly relevant to the show?

The evening of the Gulf of Mexico clue blow up, my post about it was removed - citing the late hour and an inability to moderate comments which were expected to get political

Today, a very popular post centered on the host of the show, has its comments locked. I understand inflammatory commenting and not wanting to be overwhelmed with the duties, but I typically think of Jeopardy as an intellectual show, enjoyed by thoughtful adults.

Nobody wants to give hate a voice here and I think that as a community we can govern a thread. Simply removing a post because it might get spicy, or locking comments because there are so many that run the gamut. I feel that this approach stifles debate and an opportunity for people to express themselves.

Does anybody have any strong opinions about any of the guest hosts of Jeopardy who took over after Alex in 2021, but before a permanent replacement was picked? Like omg, what would a Dr. Oz Jeopardy environment look like today? Yikes

Okay, but you don't have to be a jerk.

What are we talking, the game of life? Just take the W and leave gracefully. Why've you got to rub it in your competitor's faces?

I found this knife in a creek.

I have no idea how old it is or how long it was in there

When Johnny Gilbert announces Ken Jennings (in my head, I still say Alex Trebek)

I adore Ken and think he is a fantastic host, but I've been watching since childhood and it's burned into memory. Does anyone else experience this?

The internationally recognized name (spoiler)

When Andy answered and Ken ruled it correct and repeated his response, I was happy.

I like the new hotspot maps, because I think it's only a matter of time before one looks like a d***

J-archive is down and my DVR didn't record even though the guide shows it was on. I'm losing my mind

It's happened before where my cloud DVR won't record it and then at least I can look up final, check the categories, daily doubles, etc.

I was thinking this would be what my grandma felt like if the preacher didn't show up. But it'd be more like she went to church and somehow the church just wasn't there.

Restaurants marking orders complete when they're not

I got there a few minutes early, I'm waiting. Right as the time for pickup hits I get a notice that the order's ready. At that point I asked about the order again. She says I'm waiting on protein. I said okay. I'm just curious, I just got a notification that it was ready. Yeah I hit complete, she said, because it was about to show late in my system... 5 minutes later, she hands me the bag. Thanks

It was meant as a joke, he actually inherited $5 million when he turned 18

Kind of surprised they gave him the B at the end.

Rating removal

My AR usually hovers in the single digits so it's not that I obsess over stats, but as far as customer ratings and on time- I do pretty well. I've gotten a couple of ones and had no problems getting them removed.

This four seems like it's going to stick... Support, up to a supervisor, said the system would not allow removal. Perhaps if I was in a tier, it would be possible. That's not going to happen. Why do I care? I don't know
