I’m one of those people with an ability to take standardized tests and do really, really well, but they’re not nearly as easy as you portray. Kids of decent intelligence and good early academic opportunity can sincerely apply themselves, get the most expensive prep courses and tutors, take practice tests for years—and…

Yeah, when I saw she was in her first year at a top MATH PhD program, I wondered about this...sounds like she was immensely talented, and it takes a very high achiever to accomplish what she did by the age of 23. PhD programs can really exacerbate existing mental health issues, especially in the first year, when…

Such a loss, and so sad. From this SF Gate story, it seems like she was so good at so many things:

The only reason I can look at that on multiple replays is because I know the dude survived it with a scare. Even with his back to the camera, you can just sense the moment he realized that he had made a horrible, horrible mistake.

Yep. Nonsensical.

A Shane Black movie where Riggs & Murtaugh have flying robot suits and are played by Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle? What kind of asshole wouldn’t be excited about that?

This is some Dr. Bronner’s label-level shit.

Read the report, it’s interesting. Essentially, the stick controls the ends of the elevator (tabs), and that worked correctly. The ends of the wings would move up/down as desired, so even a visual inspection wouldn’t have noticed anything. When the ends move up/down at speed, the air pushing past deflects the full…

I’m starting to think that maybe those people were right when they caught a glimpse of Lebron’s soul dying in this moment.

Not that this vapid person needs my defense, but is it not possible that she just plainly fucked up and doesn’t realize it until now?

If they only ran one loop, they would have gotten their 6.4-mile split across then ran on to the finish line without doing the second loop.

She will be forever banned from the CFL and participation in the 36.5 Metre Dash.

You’d think disposal would be more complicated when dealing with anything involving the CFL.

the league forced the Alouettes to cut him, then banned him from the entire CFL

I have a feeling that this story is just odd right now, but when more info comes out, it’s going to get really sad, really quick.

To me, this is another example of how the US needs to CUT military spending and reallocate that money to maintaining infrastructure and public transit.

That is the US military for you, spending cash on shit they don’t need in order to justify getting more cash to spend on shit they don’t need in the future. We really need an overhaul of military spending, time to put the military-industrial complex on a Kosher diet.

In other words, a bunch of police departments with extra asset forfeiture money are about to get new toys to play army with.

I’m like...85% certain you commented on the wrong article.  So pretty confident, but there’s a shot I really don’t remember this movie as well as I think I do.

Oh, how I miss the weird choices of my childhood Blizzards. Skor, Nerds and, before they got Oreo, Hydrox. I don't remember ever seeing Hydrox in stores, I'm sure DQ was the only place they supplied to.
