So this isn't shower-related, but it does have to do with the whole "women have male friends" thing. I've had this conversation with one of my best friends, who has said she wishes there was a way to include me in her (eventual) wedding in some capacity, but traditionally there's no role for a male friend of the…

Always go aisle. You can stretch one leg out during the flight, and its easier to get up and walk around.

That's happened to me before with existing seats. To preface: I'm not fat but I'm a big guy, pushing 6'4 and fairly broad-shouldered, so I need every inch of room they give me to contort my knees into the crack in front of the tiny excuse for a seat. As a rule I go for aisle, so I can stretch at least one leg out, but…

Someone else in this thread already adressed coffee, but I just thought I'd chip in that most manufacturers advise against refrigerating/freezing batteries. The risk of moisture damaging the battery or causing a loss of charge is greater than any potential benefits of slower chemical reactions, especially since most…

Hahaha yep you're right. Must've had dinner on my mind. Also typoed scene/seen. Sigh.

It's actually part of a bigger issue, that by writing some of the TV characters so poorly, tragic and emotional moments were lost. I mean, by the end of season 3 most of the audience hated Andrea so much that what should've been an overwhelmingly moving seen just came off as "well, I'm glad that's done". Same deal…

She was good in Jericho, IMDB suggests no big roles since then.

I'm looking into the trade-off between precip and temperature (both positively correlated with ENSO) with regards to snowfall at various elevations/locations. It would be helpful to be able to decompose the data sets and look at each component separately.

Funny, I was just introduced to NMR a couple weeks ago and didn't here anything about this. That being said I can't really blame the prof, he was an NMR expert trying to give the Cole's notes to a group of mostly non-chem/physics grad students. I did however learn the other day how useful Fourier Transforms can be in…

Not that I disagree, but the fact that they name-dropped three actresses who are 23, 24 and 26 kind of give a hint on the range they're looking for. Sackhoff and Bell are in their mid-30s, and Torres is 46 (WAIT WHAT NO WAY. SERIOUSLY? Did not see that coming). And to be totally honest I'm not 100% sold on Zoe Bell…

Oh I wasn't alleging plagiarism, just giving credit where credit is due, and dropping a mention of a pretty good comic book.

The pun is actually Allan Heinberg's.

1) A few too many drinks, leftover pasta, and binge-watching TV shows alone on my futon sounds like a great evening, not sure why that's something to be worried about

So this probably isn't a popular take on this, but I really don't think they were body shaming. It more so seemed to be a clumsy way of saying hey, these pants were made for exercise, not day-to-day things like running errands, and they will hold up better if you use them primarily for this purpose. Secondly, I've…

I wonder if there's a way to test the relative importance of those two factors (training strategy and running strategy) without actually making people run a race without watches and such.

I'm with you on this to an extent, but it raises the question that if on race day you took away everyone's watch and GPS, took down the clocks at the mile markers, and didn't have any pace bunnies, how much closer to normal would the curve look. Because while some of the spikyness in the graph is coming from training…

In all honesty, I don't think this is remotely comparable to the "selfies at serious places" thing. Public monuments (such as to 9/11 or the holocaust) are places of group mourning and remembrance, they belong to everyone and thus visitors should show respect to both those being honoured as well as the living…

None of these beat Chalupa Batman

I think the point is actually somewhere in between your two positions. There's nothing wrong per se with "jock culture". Yes, at times it can amplify unhealthy social tendencies, but the same can be said for any group environment. I think the bigger problem is the social system in which it is embedded, that is…

He has to try for home before he can be awarded the base on obstruction.
