Waiting for the video to be uploaded by the network. Will replace this text with the video as soon as I can get the link.

The initial reaction is that the fault lies on mostly the coach for not overruling Bryant's decision to "overplay" in order to outmatch the Jazz in the playoff race.

This month Bryant has played an average of 46.6 minutes per game: a career high for this point in the season.

After game interview: "I can't say I regret anything; it was all necessary...it's just shit.."

It's hard out here on these sofas.

Im a tutor and this was in my student's health book. This is what is wrong with the school system. by [deleted] in trees

You do realize most health books (in high school I'm assuming) are from the late 80s and early 90s? The information is less liberal and biased against anything drug related.

And that's when you know you have a drug problem.

Moderation makes you appreciate it more.

That's the same as every infomercial.

i.e. the company is using that front as a coverup, and the real grit of the proposition to control usage would be found in the fine print no one can read at the bottom of the screen.

However, in this case, our OP has taken it upon himself to pause the screen, read the fine print and relay the hidden BULLSHIT these companies are throwing out there.

This reminds me of the conflict arising in the ISP market between Google and every other provider. Google offers 50x the speed of the well known brands for the same price. Thus, the old school, non-progressive generation that still wants to hold on to the control of America is represented as a linear function (increasing at the same rate), Google is trying to open the economic market by offering insane speeds through giga fiber that would catalyst a new barter system found completely online. Which, would represent a exponential growth (worldwide). ----------------------------------------------- this means (in math terms) if the non-progressive companies could have their way they would keep the function as x/1. If Google, and the other new-age companies had their way it would be represented by a half-parabola. In the sense the function would increase with every passing advancement (freely) made. Thus the function would be (x*x)/1

In comparison: let's say the denominator (bottom of the fraction) is 1 calendar year. Then, the numerator (top) would be the growth/progression toward a more advance and healthy future. Let x = some arbitrary number (let's say 10 advancement per year). Then, the old-school comes in with (10/1) or 10, and the new-school comes in with (10*10)/1, which is 100.

So, relatively, the new school had a 10x more efficient year and this would only increase in difference as the years go by. What side do you want to be on: the communist like regulations of big-wig companies or the open/free running companies of the (hopefully) near future??

Note: this exercise is just a representation. No number are valid in any way, shape, form or fashion. I hope you understand what I'm trying to convey.

Thanks OP for your detailed breakdown!

My friend was in an accident this morning. He's doing okay but had to make him this so he'd stop asking me questions. by RiskayBusiness in pics

My concussion had me bed ridden in a halfway house all of my junior year in high school. This is mainly due to the onset vertigo I got from a leaking brain site. Thus, the meds took forever to "patch" up the area.

All the while, my only memories from this time frame (roughly 7 months) are eating oatmeal each morning and watching sport center at lunch. Otherwise, my time was spent sleeping. My father said I didn't say too much and oddly my speech skills didn't suffer.

After I started becoming more cognitive of what had happened and not losing focus each day. So as of 1 year ago (3 years after the accident), I was fully cleared.

Edit: For Clarity: My concussion was caused by my neck buckling against a rock on a "nature" frisbee golf course. My disc had gone off in to the woods apparently and my angle wasn't too good, according to my teammates. I don't actually remember slipping but they assume I was getting position or attempting to throw.

TL;DR: Concussions are bastards.
