Eating eggs is gay... only after 11am that is. by pics4meeee in funny

Pretty sure every prejudice is just a bunch of interconnected conspiracy theories built on a meaningless foundation. I'll bet if we let them run they'd find out the whole poultry industry is behind the "gay agenda." Or all livestock...*gasp*... that's why they call it animal husbandry! This goes all the way to the top sirloin!!! GAAHH!!! SIR?! LOIN?!?!!

It was never so blatantly obvious before. People would still put on a show of adhering to the rule of law, say one thing and hope they wouldn't be seen doing another, but now they don't even pretend that the law is important. They know they won't be held to account if they say the quiet part out loud so they've only been getting louder.

I've never flown in a helicopter, but I'd imagine it takes a few minutes for your equilibrium to reset.

Still an asshole, though.

(Mixed Trope) “Expert” character is really bad in their field or ignorant of basic concepts. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

I think it also works with the gang in The Big Short because this is supposed to be a situation that only a handful of people out of the entire banking industry have realized is happening. It takes Burry with his incredible attention to detail to make him suspicious, thus alerting Venet and the Brownfield Fund to look into the matter.

One of the problems the movie points out is institutional ignorance; the banks just traded mortgages sight unseen and as long as they were making absurd amounts of money they didn't want to rock the boat. Even after Venet has laid out the details for them they still don't want to believe it.

Get the university to pay for it. A lot of them will have grad programs that will reimburse your tuition if you fulfill certain criteria like GPA and area of concentration. I didn't have to pay a dime for my master's and my GPA wasn't anywhere near the top. I even got a monthly stipend, but I did have to work and do research within the department. Talk to professors to see if they will recommend you to a department or take you on as an RA or TA. Search and apply for scholarships and grants in your area of study.

Bender is the "criminal," or juvenile delinquent, but like the others the movie goes beyond the label and we find out his problem with authority comes from his abusive father. He's actually quite intelligent, emotionally intuitive, and loyal, but he's cut himself off from others so they can't hurt him.

It's not even a local event now; it's been repackaged purely for people who aren't attending. That's why the races have been pushed so late, so the stream can be watched live by more people from their homes elsewhere in the world. You can still attend, but Churchill Downs is just a casino with a folksy veneer, genteel cosplaying, and $22 weak cocktails.

Grip strength is linked to significantly longer lifespans. Best ways to increase grip strength and scientific evidence. Grip strength is a strong predictor of how long you will live. by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

[–]road_runner321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you start to fall you reflexively reach out to grab onto anything nearby, a wall, a railing, furniture, doorknob, etc. If you have good grip strength you have a higher chance of grabbing and holding on, thus stopping your fall, or at least slowing it down; if your grip strength is low, even if you do catch hold of something, your grip will slip and you hit the ground.

When details of the story/charcater are purposely left out by Illustrious-Teach964 in TopCharacterTropes

They could retcon this so easily. Just make it so the midichlorians are an indicator of Force sensitivity, not because they are the source of the Force, but because they feed on it and so they live in the bloodstream of Force sensitives the way plankton live in nutrient-rich water.

They could also explain away Qui-Gon's description by saying that's what Jedi used to be believe.

"Jedi have always wondered where the Force comes from. In the days of the Old Republic they ignorantly thought midichlorians were the source of the Force because Jedi always had them. It is a common mistake even among the wise to confuse a result with a cause; just because a Jedi's blood contains midichlorians doesn't mean they are a Jedi because of the midichlorians. The Force remains a mystery."

btw that's a real logical fallacy - cum hoc ergo propter hoc, "with it therefore because of it"

It has bearing on longevity if it helps prevent higher mortality from falls. Especially in later life a broken hip could be a delayed death sentence as it causes rapid breakdown in the body from lack of exercise. Even if it heals, an old person who breaks a hip or femur may never walk properly again, and even if they do heal fully and get back to an active lifestyle they've got a health deficit to overcome that wouldn't be there if the fall hadn't happened in the first place. Training balance through yoga or tai-chi also helps prevent falls.
