Coach Jesus replied, “They do not need to come off the board. You give them something to string them along.”

“We have here only seven scholarships to offer,” His recruiting coordinator answered.

“Bring those markers here to me,” He said. And He erased and re-wrote names in columns on the whiteboard. Taking the seven scholarships and looking up to Heaven, He gave thanks and wrote the handwritten cards. Then He gave them to the assistant coaches, and the assistant coaches gave them to the recruits. They all texted and were satisfied, and the assistant coaches picked up twelve commits.

"Greyshirts, son," He proclaimed.

Someone spent a lot of time on that and still hosed up the rhythm on almost every other line.

Edit: Wait. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong song.

If you're thinking of Jim Carroll's People Who Died, you're not. And they did gently caress up the rhythm quite a bit.

Not sure if it was a quote from a thread or an external link, but I recall seeing some link about "nerds" (obviously people with aspergers, etc) having a set of requirements from friends, one of them being the need to have one group of friends get on with another group, only based on themselves being the common link. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

The OSHA thread was discussing warnings and safety labels on radioactive waste addressed to "future humans" who might read it in the year 12,000, and how absurd that concept was.

What if a cave man tries to use the ruins of a skyscraper for shelter and gets tetanus from some exposed rebar? Ban rebar until it can be made cave-man safe. If you can't guarantee your building will be safe in 100,000 years and have sufficient statues and sculptures that warn sub-human mutants then you shouldn't be building anything, you're putting future societies at risk.

What if a post-apocalyptic survivor's mutant offspring lose the ability to taste salt and try to drink the ocean? We need a massive wall of scary earthworks along the coasts to make sure they only drink fresh water.

What if a blind mutant cyberman finds an old warehouse from the before times and can't understand the safety warnings on the overhead gantry crane and exceeds the safe operating limits and doesn't even understand the difference between the maximum failure load and the maximum safe operating load??

If only exercise decades in advance was any help, or indeed didn't probably hinder your ability to keep fit in your old age. Or that the reasons most people become decrepit and infirm is not because they refuse to exercise or go to the gym, but rather a plethora of degenerative and vaguely crippling illnesses of which many have no relation to whether or not they are healthy and active, in combination with your body falling to pieces under its own steam.

You can watch marathon runners and people who kept fit and active into their 60s and 70s confined to a wheelchair for the rest of their lives in a matter of months, and likewise see people who've never run further than to catch a bus be pretty spry into their 90s.

I wouldn't delude yourself into thinking your healthy and active habits in your 20s/30s and beyond will have more than a slight influence on your old age. Better to put all your money into laser powered exoskeletons for the elderly, honestly.

This got me thinking of doing a remake of Speed with a man who can't slow down instead of a bus, until I realized that not only is this the complete opposite of what y'all are describing, that idea already exists as a movie and is called Crank.

That's nothing more than the Hedgehog/Prower phenomenon of ostensibly adult characters engaged in prolonged and intense bouts of presexual intimacy.

FN and Poe - despite being twenty- and thirty-somethings, respectively - are several steps behind Matthew Broderick's teen hacker in Wargames, who tentatively explores how it feels to take his shirt off in front of a girl.

For fans, the actual erotic appeal comes from the fact that Sonic The Hedgehog does not gently caress. Ever. He achieves full satisfaction just by staring at you with his massive hypersensitive eyes, and passionately filling his rounded belly with chilidogs. Poe and FN, likewise, will never move beyond hugging and trying on eachothers' clothes. They have no need to.

You do not have to be good. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Strength and flexibility training help keep you active for longer and reduce the negative impact of short periods of major illness on your body. An old dude who's used to running a mile a day can get pneumonia, be in bed on a ventilator for two days, get extubated, and be back on his feet by dinner... which means his lungs open up faster, his bowels start moving sooner, his joints don't lock up, and his vasculature is less likely to degrade.

Cardio keeps you alive for much, much longer, because it prepares your body to cope with decreased blood flow (from heart attacks and short-term acute illness), maintains the flexibility and fitness of your vasculature (heart attacks, strokes, and other vascular damage are easily the #1 killer and old-people-disabler), and helps your organs learn to function under stress so they don't fail as easily.

Getting exercise is a direct indicator of how much time you spend outside your house-- having adventures, meeting people, engaging in daily self-care, overcoming inertia, exercising self-discipline, and connecting to your body. Incidentally, swordfighting (like most other fulfilling life activities) requires practice, which involves weightlifting and exercise.

If you are active and you regularly pursue difficult physical goals, you are much more likely to live longer and be healthier and more happy during your extended lifespan. The guy from that post who did all the swordfighting and traveling and poo poo but never exercised, that guy is in the nursing home because he had a series of disabling strokes and can't remember his foreign ex-lover's face or even pop a boner. The guy who worked out is in the nursing home because he's visiting a family member.
