I assume that's why they built two pits? With only one, the grenade might be dragged in with the people should it fall along their path near the pits edge.
My guess is that Speedtest.net summarizes the number of people who went to Speedtest.net, while Akamai measures the CDN traffic, so Speedtest gets more traffic from people who just got new bandwidth and want to verify that it really is zippy fast.
I am just old enough to remember when the local grocery store issued S&H green stamps, and how we kids loved to stick them into the books, and get excited about the occasional 50 point stamp. But I also remember at the end of their time, going to the local S&H redemption store and thinking it was full of a lot of low quality goods.
Speech recognition is getting better. I predict that within the next 10 years it will be good enough that the back archives of all the available TV shows, news shows, radio broadcasts will be searchable. We might then have some evidence that people said "pie hole" before King wrote it down. Archive.org already offers a service like that, at https://archive.org/details/tv?q=%22pie%20hole%22 , but it doesn't extend that far backwards in time. Etymologists no doubt look forward to that new era.
I spent a lot of the last few days on it and finally got 194 points, with 6 tiles all different remaining and nothing to do for the last few seconds. It would be very hard to get the board completely clear, and there's so little time remaining that I doubt there would be a second level.
Most are designed to appeal to a man who might otherwise think that wearing a ring is effeminate. It's been enculturated that rough or chunky surfaces and machine parts are signs of manliness.
When I moved to Sweden, I was told this about the people up north. Then I noticed that even people in the south do it. I certainly enjoy using it, and it's intruded in my English. It's used in about the same way we say "uh-huh", that is, as "yes" in "Do you want the receipt? Uh-huh.", and as a signifier that someone is listening "I went to the beach yesterday." "Uh-huh".
When I was a kid, I saw a rerun of Emergency! where a kid gets stuck between bars like this. Later, during swim lessons, one of the other kids manages a real-life version of the same, and I remember the instructors discussing the TV episode. The solution then was that the bars weren't completely parallel, and higher (or was it lower down?) they were slightly wider.
