Not even the grey blurriness can obscure the awesomeness of Richard Simmons. He was clearly recognizable even before I clicked the button to show the picture.

In fairness, the run blocking in Baltimore sucked that year. No-one looked good running the ball on that team. Not that I would recommend signing him, he had been on the decline for awhile. But his decline is still better than Trent Richardson at his best...

Yet the “list of things not trying to kill you in Australia” list is clearly on the trying to kill you list.

In some places, maybe all places, if places aren’t designated as tipping places that means that the owners can take the tips. There was a story about this awhile back. And I found it. Hurrah for me! This is not say don’t tip. It’s just saying that it may be the case that the tips aren’t going to the people you think…

Reading retention isn’t a problem for me at all. Is satire detection a problem for you?

Forget Hot wings and brie. Try dipping your hot wings in manchego. Go big or go somewhere else.

Try them together on a burger!

People eat tomato and cream cheese together all the time. In my experience it’s usually on a bagel. So just eating the two together might be a little weird, but the pairing is a popular one.

How would this apply to Florida, which has no income tax (I think?)?

Yeah, pretty much.

Ben Roethlisberger got his suspension cut in half. If Brady takes classes on inflating balls and keeps in touch with the league showing them he knows when balls are inflated could he get his suspension reduced too?

I think they do care. They just don’t care that much and not nearly as much as the owners and commissioner do, so they didn’t focus on it. Doing so would have cost them money. But, regardless, the NFLPA is incompetent.

Part of the training in becoming a behaviorist or a special educator is learning these ways of labeling and practicing them. This specific example is tricky enough that I think I might use it when training behavior staff. The debt is what makes it tricky. Because it happens before the behavior the labels punishment or…

Billy-quizboy, I am not a smoking expert (or, in spite of the name, doctor) but I do have a strong professional background in behavior. In general, positive reinforcement works the best, so think of some things the kids can do that would reward the parents for not smoking. Maybe they can do more chores, spend more…

Also, in general, positive reinforcement is the most effective system. Reinforcement has been proven to work better than punishment. If you are going to use punishment, studies show that it works best when paired with a reinforcement system. This is one of those neat times where what is ethical because it is humane is…

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and I have a small technical point about one thing in your article. Sorry if this is too long, my point is in the last paragraph if you wish to skip to it. You reference the $150 deposit and forfeiture as negative reinforcement. A reinforcer is anything that occurs after a…

Technically correct... It’s a Futurama reference.

“Whoa, the policy response to global warming/climate change is NOT political? There is One True Fact in how we should deal with it?”

While the McDonald’s can’t prove it happened, I feel like this McDonald’s is just asking for an influx of people buying food from them for people who are homeless... Now that I think about it, this could be a brilliant marketing strategy...

The three words don’t make sense, two of them mean large and 1 means 20 which is the only one which isn’t large. If they asked you if you wave a large If I go to Starbucks one or twice a Year I’m probably not going to remember which large is small and which large is medium.I have messed up my order once trying to use…
