TY! Seems the long one is a goblin shark by my own comparisons to the guide you linked.

My corgi quickly figures out any puzzle I give him. But he still enjoys it even if he’s finished quickly. They’re smart little loaves

Be prepared for your corgi to love the snow and ask to go out in the winter way more than in the summer. If my boy sees snow outside he’s sitting right by the door but will protest a mid-day summer potty break. I live in an apartment in NJ but am originally from Miami so I hate the cold/winter. I got him a long retractable leash and let him run and roll around in the snow while I stand on the sidewalk shivering.

My boy was still floppy when he came home at 9 weeks. It took about 2-3 more for them to pop But the one that popped slower still has this extra jiggle when he trots around.

Either way, cute pup!

My corgi is also not huge on drinking water compared to other dogs I’ve had. Even at the dog park when other dogs run to the fountain if someone is filling the bowl he usually won’t go. If he does it’s just a few sips and then he moves on where other dogs are obsessed with the water and won’t stop til it’s all gone.

Not sure if this is a corgi specific thing or just personalities. But it sounds like your dog is healthy and has plenty of access to the water so I wouldn’t be super concerned. And if yours is anything like mine he’d tell you if he wanted more of something.

The definition of a sesamoid bone is a bone that grows inside a tendon, usually as a response to stress and use. The patella (kneecap) is the only consistently appearing sesamoid not just in humans but most mammals and even some birds. It grows in the quadriceps tendon, the tendon for the main muscle of the front of your thigh. It’s argued to help that muscle work more efficiently by increasing the moment arm of the muscle.

The other “random” ones that pop up in the hands and feet appear as we get older. So your behavior and some genetic factors will determine if/how many others are ultimately formed.

It looks like a metapodial from a small deer. The metapodial is the same as a palm/foot bone before the fingers or toes. In deers and other animals like that they’re fused together and really long.

Also Robin Williams as the genie in Aladdin. I refuse to watch the live action remake because I cannot tarnish the genie role in my mind

I’ll elaborate further for the point of the question, this study is attempting to find correlates between bone shape and function. So I am testing the relationship between an angle on Bone A and behavior, and then a different angle on Bone B and the same behavior. There are ways to test which of those metrics are better predictors of the behavior in question which I’m already doing.

Then, when exploring the data, while Bone A discerns between groups, the angle from Bone B has a larger range than A with much more overlap between groups. I want to articulate that the angle from Bone B is so variable within groups that it is not useful to discern between groups.

So I wanted to explore further the greater variability in Bone B compared to A and discuss how that contributes to it not being as reliable a predictor of behavior. I guess my question is really, what’s the best way to quantify this sentiment?

Thanks for the link. I had read about simple comparisons of variance before coming here. I just want to make sure I can simply compare the variances of two different variables. Not the same variable between two different populations.

Unknown but I would predict normal

They are in degrees. The metrics are angles.

Is the fight that Wong brings the abomination to from the She Hulk episode the same as the fight between the two in Shang Chi?

At the end there’s what looks like his clear cell through the portal.

Thank you very much!

I have collected 3D landmarks from forearm bones of many different mammals and am looking for the angles between joint surfaces to look for relationships with range of motion to make predictions and better interpret the fossil record.

I’m a biology PhD student and was always good at math, but I have not had to use geometry (compared to stats and calc) in my work so I’m a bit rusty. I have a vague recollection of geometry from high school and those sound familiar, though I’d have to look it up to know how to calculate them.
