I hardly used them for a year, then I bought a new game and invited friends to play and now the buttons take multiple presses to register and the sticks drift.

No it's not latency, the controllers just don't work. The sticks drift and the buttons sometimes take multiple presses.

If I'm playing Zelda or something, it's bearable because it's not too time sensitive and no one else is depending on me. If I'm playing Smash Bros then I just can't hit any combos and if I'm playing Overcooked then we are all letting each other down because we're running past and into each other.

The Switch controllers are so disappointing I doubt I'll ever buy another Nintendo product. Out of 4 Joycons and 3 Pro controllers, 1 pro controller is still fully functional.

They're ok for solo gaming, but anything multiplayer or especially cooperative is impossible.

Are you talking about Washington University in Saint Louis?

I live in a city with 95% adult vaccination (at least one dose) and the government has just announced that they are exploring how to open schools at an indeterminate date in the future.

If we can’t just go back to normal now, then why don’t we just give up?

I don't think that's really relevant. In no world are people without medical treatment going to be considered, and no one is going to go through that just to win a medal.

If this is an issue for all MTF weightlifters, would it be reasonable to disqualify someone only if they had previously competed at the same level as a male?

Maybe different parts of the country? I’d never seen one until I left the US.

No idea about the knives, but a huge non-US innovation is a drying rack. Wash the dishes, let them dry, put them away when you have time. If I had to dry them with a rag, I think my opinion would be different.

That’s basically my life and it’s fantastic. I work 12 timezones away from my colleagues. Get real work done while they are asleep, stay up for occasional meetings, scheduled in advance. I usually take two tickets at once, so if I get stuck and need help, I can switch to the other ticket until someone who can help me is awake.
