Some athletes believe hormonal bc decreases their aerobic ability and/or causes weight gain. If I were an elite level athlete, in the meet of my career, I wouldn’t be on hormonal bc.

“I have absolutely no problem with this game NOT being multiplayer.”

I’m just surprised they haven’t admitted that there is no real multiplayer in the game, despite what might have been said in interviews.

It would be completely awful. I would hate it. That still doesn’t mean it is the logical or correct choice.

I got the Taken King collected Eddition thingy last year. After finishing all the main content everything felt super grundy. Kill 40 of thing X. Etc.. I stopped playing it around February.

I’m not going to get into this entirely because I’ve been drinking all day, but there is no comparison between a monolithic slab and a pool of the same size because tolerances on placement and even flatness of a single unloaded slab is not remotely like placement, plumbness, squareness, and everything that comes with…

Holy shit - this is just a straight forward informative post explaining the answer to an interesting question. Well done.

They did try but the vessel was too large to move in such a short time. There is a theory that, if they had rammed it dead on instead, the vessel would have managed to stay afloat long enough for rescue to arrive.

Okay, I know this is a joke, but there are actually theories that the Titanic wouldn’t have sunk if it had hit the iceberg straight-on. That is, the Titanic should have hit the iceberg instead of going around it. Because they tried to go around, the iceberg scraped all along the side of the ship, and punctured five (I…

I think blaze orange (or now - gag - pink) is required in a lot of states. If not, it’s still a good idea, especially during big hunts like gun deer season (or even bow-hunting season), when the woods are full of first-timers and ancient grandpas who can’t see real clearly. We rented a cabin in the woods during deer…

Ugh yes. There’s even a possibility it might have stayed afloat if it hit dead on. Probably highly unlikely considering other design and manufacture problems such as shoddy manufacture of rivets etc, but there’s a good chance it would have could afloat long enough for the passengers to be saved.

My childhood obsession means I just can’t resist being the “actually” person now dammit!

Nerd alert: The Titanic would’ve been better off hitting the iceberg head-on instead of trying to avoid it. Trying to go around the iceberg resulted in sideswiping it, resulting in a tear that allowed water to come in and eventually sinking the ship.

Indeed, they tried and really should not have. Since they turned too late and too slowly, it allowed the iceberg to rip along the ship’s side below the waterline. Had they hit closer to head on, they would have only crushed the bow backwards, or at least opened fewer compartments. My recollection is that had just one…

Well no, because the iceberg ripped it up the side, which caused it to sink by damaging so much of it (icebergs are more voluminous under water than the tip you see above the surface).

Yeah exactly. They DID try to go around it. That’s why it hit the side of the boat instead of the front. #articlefail

Wasn’t that the whole problem? They tried to go around and gouged out the side of the ship. If they had hit it head on it wouldn’t have taken on so much water so fast.

“States passed the franchise laws decades ago to help the consumer.”
That’s BS. States passed franchise laws decades ago to protect dealerships from manufacturers that might swoop in and steal all their sales with a direct sale store in the same area after a dealership invested money already to promote the brand (which…

Legally barring a company from using its business model is legally barring them from operating in the state.

Yeah, but why? For god’s sake, total noobs deliver babies at home. They are already at a freaking hospital full of medical professionals. This is mindbogglingly stupid. I can't imagine how much that hurt.
