Reply to comment by justlooking128 in [OC] An Ironman Triathlon, by the minute by ptgorman

I can't even imagine running a half marathon...in any amount of time. I attempted a 10k and it took about an hour and I almost collapsed.

If a human can push themselves that hard physically, they deserve the 10 million dollars or whatever a damn NBA player gets for a single game.

I will admit however that the bike is the easiest part. I once rode 43 miles in a single afternoon. It wasn't easy, but it was easier than the 10k run.

Reply to [OC] Suicide Rate vs GDP per capita for various countries. Notice that the upper right triangle is almost empty i.e. generally increase in GDP per capita results in decrease in suicide rates. by ankuprk

Interesting that you correlate higher GDP with lower suicide rates and somehow completely ignore the fact that the lower left corner shows a great deal of countries with significantly lower GDP than say, the US, somehow have even lower suicide rates...

It's almost as if...wait for it....it's almost as if there are dozens of other factors that determine a country's suicide rate OTHER than GDP and those factors should be given credit for their influence on suicides too instead of just "rich countries have less suicides".
