Welcome Back Spike Lee!!
Patrick Stewart Looks Further Into His Dad's Shell Shock
I've been struggling to find the right adjective to use to describe your story, but all I can say is thank you for telling it. It's personal accounts like this that really bring home the effects of war, and this is what happened to the victors!
I admit I don't read much non-fiction, but I hold a very special place in my heart and my life for Spike Milligan's war diaries which, along with the Maus graphic novels, taught me more about the reality of war than I ever wanted to know. Like your story they are so relatable and so full of banality and horror side-by-side that my disgust for the instigators makes it painful to try to see things from their point of view.
I try to eliminate unconscious bias where I spot it, but here I just can't. Unfortunately this disgust also stops me from wanting to learn more.
Possible, but I don't really think so. [...] I'd wager that when the docs said Stewart's father's shell shock was a reaction to aerial bombardment, that was really just a face-saving measure to try to explain away the perceived "weakness" of his condition.
BMX Front Flip To Fence -Nathan Angle
They're designed to stop people from climbing over, not to entice idiots to flip over them. That said, I bet they either remove or replace them after this....if they don't remove the skate park altogether.
The kind with bent spikes would work well I think, but those cost way more.
how are those fences legal?
BMX Front Flip To Fence -Nathan Angle
Really? With 2 clear angles? With rider using the spikes to lift himself?
If so, Hollywood needs to hire the editor. I'm convinced....but I am watching it on a small screen.
I can't imagine this is anything more than playing Russian roulette with your balls. Or, you know, video editing.
Let me try that again. FAAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEEEEEEEE!!111!
Eddy does not know how to slide
Survival of the fittest. I say, put a spike pit at the bottom. Hard mode engaged.
Why Is Salt So Bad for You, Anyway?
Here's the study he's talking about in the video: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1311889?query=featured_homeResults=&t=articleBackground
It looks like a legitimate study, but being correlational it should be taken with a grain of salt *snare drum, splash cymbal* As corrolation cannot show causation.
They seem to control for various factors like age, cholesterol level and previous hypertension too, so they don't appear to be fudging any results.
Perhaps I could argue they aren't measuring salt intake, but rather sodium excretion, and estimating intake based on urine samples. So there is potentially a huge difference in diet - a lot of the participants were from Asia, where they don't tend to use table salt (they use soy sauce instead) And even though it's still high in sodium, soy sauce could be going through a different process inside the body. (Similar to how sugar doesn't cause an insulin spike when it's in fruit form, but does when it's refined form). It's possible that the salt from soy could be passing through the body rather than settling in the blood stream. I'm just speculating. Or perhaps they are also eating other foods which are protective against moderate salt intake, allowing more of it to be excreted than absorbed.
Either way it's very interesting to me :-)
What I would like to see is a study on foods, rather than ingredients to get a better picture. Because humans don't usually eat individual minerals, and combinations of minerals seem to act differently in the body.
I guess what it's all saying though is if you are healthy, then 3-6g of salt is fine, but once you are at risk of CVD you need to back off in order to reverse the damage. But CVD is of course not the only disease people need to be careful about (although it is the #1 we should be worrying about), but salt also feeds various cancers etc.
Healcare Triage disagrees:
1) Dietary Salt Recommendations Don't Line Up with Recent Evidence.
2) HCT News #1: Eat More Salt
HCT: Salt Recommendations Don't Line Up with Recent Evidence
why is it always about people with high blood pressure? I have low blood pressure, which at times makes me light-headed, but if I eat a little extra salt, my blood volume increases and everything is cool. So salt isn't "healthy" or "unhealthy". All depends on what your body's needs are. Same with sugar... if your body NEEDS sugar (I.E. after a workout to give a little insulin spike to help absorb protein) then it's healthy, if your body DOESN'T NEED sugar, (I.E. you've been sitting in bed all day playing WOW and want to get a mountain dew) then it will be unhealthy.
Trump In The Wild: A Nature Documentary
@RFlagg
The CBO says medical insurance under Trumpcare will spike about 800% for Trump's core demographic (old, lower income, white people) a few months before the mid terms. He and the Republicans in Congress also want to eviscerate Medicare and Medicaid. How long will their voters stay on that ride?
I suspect in the next three years or so, Republican voters will get a real chance to see what they've been voting for all these years. Tax breaks for the rich, the shaft for everyone else. When cold hard reality hits their personal finances I'm hoping there will be a fundamental shift in American politics.
For that reason alone, Trump may actually end up doing some good for the country.
The Adpocalypse: What it Means
Has anyone else noticed a sudden spike in unskippable minute long ads on YouTube recently?
I seem to be getting the same ad on everything I watch these days.
How To Make Bacon-Wrapped Cheeseburger Bombs
I just had a cholesterol spike watching this...
Bill Plympton's Couch Gag
Plymptoons used to freak me the f out. They're still super creepy, as is his animation of the Simpsons couch intro.
First time I ever saw one of his animations was featured in a Spike & Mike animation festival collection (VHS), his shorts about how to kiss LOL. I'm pretty sure they're here on the Sift but I'm lazy. Submit, Ctrl+W, Next.
Takoma Pickup Truck Does Great General Lee Impression
We really don't have sufficient driver's ed to be throwing down spike strips for cars going over a hundred while driven by the typical pleb.
Typical pleb should be a much better driver before this is a policy.
Otherwise it's more risk of harm than letting the typical pleb speed with his tyres in one piece.
That is, if public safety is a priority. Not saying that it is. Maybe this is a good use case for civilian uav air strikes. A mini hellfire would work well. (sarcastic/cynical comment, yet would not be surprised if in 20 years it becomes reality. "lol").

Chicken Attack(中文字幕版)
It's like the public domain kung fu + hilarious CGI and film splices of Kung Pao: Enter the Fist, meets the ridiculous headlining on magazines (at the very end of this clip) from the Spike Jonze/Charlie Kaufman movie Being John Malkovich.
the lie that is the liberal politician-chris hedges
But....that's not bath water, it's a mixture of pure meconium and Russian hooker pee, spiked with just a pinch of ricin and polonium-210.
so while i agree that a venue such as RT should be approached with a modicum of skepticism,i also feel very strongly that we should not throw the baby out with the bath water.
