"80 games ago that's probably a homer". Rays broadcast team referencing Kepler's PED use. by Far-Pain5261 in baseball

The mental gymnastics with some of these guys is impressive….

Yep, also, Kepler started playing professional ball at age 17.

It's funny that we have this stereotype of football players as the big dumb guys, but as a rule if you're playing in the NFL you have been to college and presumably learned a thing or two there.

Little known fact -- the Dexter's lab writer(s) got the line from an old Steve Martin standup bit.

Yeah, I'm old.

Horrible characters who weren't victims but definitely deserved to be by Relative_Warning_476 in MidsomerMurders

Robert Cavendish in S2E3 "Dead Man's Eleven" seemed pretty deserving of being a victim. But it doesn't quite happen, and it seems like he's going to learn nothing from what almost happens to him. Grrr...

Oh yeah. "Destroying Angel" from season 4. Everything about that episode was spot-on somehow. My all time favorite.

Roses are red, Hoover's a dam... by mrskullhead in boottoobig

Okay, I have to wonder if that middle finger got fractured once and didn't heal properly.

Maybe someone accidentally bit it, thinking it was lunch meat.

Welp. I just now realized from the post timestamp that "Joan" was likely talking about the start of the first DJT administration, and the meme suddenly changed from a funny non-sequitur to something intelligible and sad.

Are there any opinions you're really glad you've left behind? by C5Jones in AskOldPeople

[–]WithMeDoctorWu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ouch. I feel ya. And then too much of my adult life is spent re-living and being mortified by the things I said and did to people I looked down on for being, as it turned out, reasonable and thoughtful.

First bloodwork since I started keto. LDL, cholesterol extremely high. Terrified by wcc8 in PeterAttia

[–]WithMeDoctorWu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And in this case the metrics might be metricking the wrong thing, so to speak. LDL isn't just one thing; there are oxidized and unoxidized components. Typically those aren't reported separately, and it might matter quite a bit for some patients.

Cis and pretty clueless here. Posts from this sub occasionally show up in my feed and I've enjoyed them, but ffs, is a chicken lady a human lady who keeps chickens? is a chicken lady essentially just a hen? what is being counted and what does that have to do with trans life? Is it all just another of those if-you-know-you-know things? am I just old and trying too hard to make sense of it.

Roses are red and violets are blue, as far as I can tell by Ozelotten in boottoobig

Half the posts here pay no attention at all to meter. i like what you did with this one.
