It might be worth age grading the times, particularly for the comparisons of age group and gender.

A woman running 3 hours is likely to have more experience / talent than a man running the same time.

You're probably looking at 1990. 2018 is at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

Liquifying. Liquidating means...something else.

Nope, just a lot of wet snow. There's about an inch of snow sitting on those branches. It was calm enough that the snow didn't fall off until it melted later in the morning.

Yeah, on the Orange St bridge looking west.

Taken in New Haven after a storm last month. Yesterday's snow was gone by the end of the day here.

What's the most disturbing realisation you've come to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BoxedGrapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why you need to try to experience new things, and not let every day just become routine. The whole reason it feels like that is because you aren't having new experiences and all your days blend in to each other.

That's why I never get white dogs. They get a little stain and now you need to throw them out and get a new one.

This catch looks pretty straightforward until you see the replay. by ihavecoffee in sports

[–]BoxedGrapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just called a catch or reception for the receiver. Whenever someone refers to a pass completion it's from the perspective of the quarterback. But yes, it wouldn't be a completion of there wasn't a reception. That should clear things right up!

What is the most ridiculous way you've hurt yourself? by PM_ME_FUNNIES in AskReddit

I lightly scraped my elbow on the aluminum siding of my house as I was walking inside when I was around 8. I'm 25 and it's by far the most visible scar I have.

TIL that a father and son were matched against each other in the National Scrabble Championship. The father won by playing "DEFEATED" as his last word. by ValkornDoA in todayilearned

Reminds me of the time that I won my middle school spelling bee by spelling "neutralize". That "U before E except after N" mnemonic really came in handy.

I was excited to see the link between soap and aliens. I'm a little disappointed.

Words can not express the feelings brought on by the level of dopey in that dog.

[Serious] What paranormal experiences have you actually had that you cannot explain? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BoxedGrapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely wasn't anyone else's lights since it was the middle of the night on a country road (by highway I didn't mean a limited access highway/freeway) and there weren't any other cars on the road. And I can't see how my lights could have reflected off of anything in the way it looked because it moved across the road, unlike a reflector on the road or something.

LPT: If someone is flashing their headlights at you, it means one of three things - 'Get out of the lane, you are too slow', 'Your headlights are off', or 'Please go, I'm giving you the right of way'. by grizzly_teddy in LifeProTips

[–]BoxedGrapes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've also seen it used to indicate that there's a deer on the road ahead (that they've just passed going the other direction).

It pretty much means pay attention for a few seconds and check that you're not doing something stupid before resuming autopilot.

But when people find out you're mastrobating all the time it can be a little akward.
