I mean, the other part of “why do so many people die from cows” is along the lines of “They work with cow every day”.

Serving drinks all day in full armor, while suffering from horrible scoliosis.

This is why cows kill so many people. Its really easy for an animal five or six times your weight to kill you just by interacting the same way it does with its own species.

That gets worse as the animal gets bigger.

And cows are basically calm little angels compared to say, hippos.

Luckily you have a couple hard copies of your journal paper and an inked up copy of your thesis after reviewer number 2 decided to no longer like his own suggestions on how to graph the mass accuracy

I hate this because it’s true.

Shhhhh

What do you think causes the Egyptian men’s problem with women? For context, I (a woman) was groped and physically harassed more during my 3 weeks in Egypt than in the entirety of the rest of my life combined.

My husband has stopped joking about his hair growing distinguished and started admitting it’s turning grey.

Now I feel old.

Funfact: HAL9000 singing “Daisy” when pulling circuit boards is a reference to the IBM 7094 using the first speech synth in 1961, which was just 7 years before the movie.

Ah, close but that’s actually Oscillation. Orgasm is when you juxtapose two concepts with opposite meanings in one word or phrase, often for humor…

It unlocked the cheats. So you could enter other codes, like Scourge and Mitzi, which gave infinite health and all weapons (or the reverse).

I played that game SO much, and was so terrible at it.

I joined .ml because the devs are there.

Then I interacted with people, and realized that was a big mistake.

Spent some time on LBZ, but the admin is making a few too many choices for the users (I’ll block my own assholes, thanks)

So now I’m on sh.itjust.works

We can apply a purity test here (ie. what qualifies as a university) but… why except for pedantry?

Well, because it’s only true for a veeeeeery narrow definition of “university”. If you include other schools, there are British ones that predate it by three centuries. If you don’t require current operation in the same building, or allow name changes, there are ancient Greek ones that predate it by more than a millenium.

What is that supposed to represent???

Z values are measurement of how many standard deviations something is from the mean. 95% of your values fall between -2 and +2. Most “interesting cases” are about outliers, something that’s very uncommon. If it’s common, you don’t tend to write a paper about it. Nobody cares if someone had a slightly above average tumor, but if they have 50kg tumor, that’s publishable.

The survivorship bias plane shows a world war 2 chart of where the bullet holes were on planes. The conclusion famously isn’t to armor those parts often hit, but to armor the parts that weren’t hit, because no planes hit there returned to be recorded.

To be fair, a hundred pages wouldn’t fit in the margins

I learned that I can do a great anime-protagonist haircut, but now that I’m not in my early 20s anymore that’s not really my style anymore.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you just trim the tips off of your perpetual ponytail/braid, that’s easy too.

Everything in between needs practice, and ideally the ability to look at the back of your head.

I didn’t

I recall being a grad student, and one of my friends was super happy their paper was mentioned. The context was basically “Contrary to claims by [friend et al]…”

At least she didn’t tamper with the safety shield or the guide. That would be dangerous!

I can eat the stuff that literally kills him. At home. Without worry!
