Don’t make me tap the overlay.
Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.
Don’t make me tap the overlay.
I’m not a marksman by any means, but shouldn’t the buttstock be in the pocket of his shoulder? It looks like the recoil from the next shot will send that thing flying backwards
Are they any better off with it? I don’t the current rates but it used to be around a few pounds of rice. It’s desperation rates for desperate people.
Lol. Welcome to the underbelly of comparative anatomy.
Most places to do it with insects. Sometimes they just leave them out but any organization with volume will use beetles.
I used to teach anatomy 20+ years ago. Sadly many of the skulls are sourced from the poorest people in impoverished countries. Companies pay a death benefit to the families or to the individual and then “harvest” the skull after death. They used to be priced based on the number of teeth and the presence of mandibular/maxillary degeneration. The highest priced skulls would come from donors and would have all their teeth.
Here’s a link to the UCLA scandal if you want to get a feeling for how scummy the entire industry is
I’d just ignore it and play by pulse. You learn to ignore that stuff - out of time clapping, background noises etc.
I thought that was a civil statement. I may be miscalibrated but I thought it was among the mildest of four letter words. I’d be happy to extend my vocabulary in the gentle art of dismissal.
I have given up on “steep learning curve”. A learning curve is proficiency on the Y axis against time on the X. A steep learning curve indicates something that is learned very quickly. A shallow learning curve is something that takes a long time to master. See Ebbinghaus 1885.
Get bent. Impacted is absolutely acceptable usage to describe a direct or follow on affect from an action or initiative. It’s useful precisely because it’s an intensifier that conveys not just that there is a detectable change in an indicator, but there is a major change that directly attributable to the manipulated variable.
ETA: I think I have this figured out. That 70s Show use the phrase “get bent” as a synonym for “fuck off”. That’s not how I learned the meaning in the actual 70s. It was closer in meaning to “get real” and in line with the reported etymology of “go have a drink”.
I’m pretty sure it was a quail/dove shoot. It stood out for me because there aren’t many parts of the country where dove hunting is a thing. But Texas? You bet!
