If you're an anime fan don't believe any announcements today instead. Except for the fact that Princess connect re:dive global is shutting down if you play it.

Is the babfis device possibly a reference to babel fish from Hitchhiker's Gide?

I honestly hated the book. It was helpful for showing how people can feel certain ways in abusive situations, but i was disgusted by most every person in the book, and knowing that they were real people only made it worse.

It seems to be described in paragraph 3 that op posted.

I think it's pretty funny that yosuga no sora was deemed major enough to be the representative of that year. The ost was pretty fire at least.

That's a decent time for a guys 2 mile. Varsity track would typically run low 11s (i only ever ran below 11 twice, once at a big meet and once for part of a 5k). You'd need to consistently run below an 11 to have a shot at winning the 2 mile in track and if you run sub 10 then you're pretty much guaranteed the win. I cone from a midwest state though, so there's a lot less competition than somewhere like texas where the tine I listed are probably wrong. 11:40 is a solid time for soccer though since you were probably running in your cleats instead of spikes.

I was never able to sprint very fastso my mile time stopped there, but I was able to run my top pace for a pretty good distance. I managed a 16:49 5k (once in perfect conditions at my favorite course also a 5:25 pace), but beside that generally mantained ~17:20. So my typical best all out run for over 3 miles was still a minuts slower than him.

Back when I was in peak shape running 8 miles a day for cross country back in high school I maybe ran a 5 flat once (the first leg of my best ever 5k). 5:08 was my fastest official mile time. The state I lived in would have a small number of kids able to run a mile under that 4:37 (my brother being one of them at a 4:36 years and years ago) and almost none that could run that fast for 2 miles (i think i saw it 1 time when a kid smashed the 2 mile state record). I'm in way worse shape now and can only begin to imagine how incredible of shape he's in.
