Most of the Olympic shooters use fancy gear like special eyepieces and what not. This guy Yusef Dikec from Turkiye rolled up without all that, stuck one hand in his pocket, shot with both eyes open and took silver along with his partner Sevval Tarhan.

Too many people fall for black and white thinking and tribalism. If you support X you must be against Y, or if you don’t support X you must support Y.

There are niches for everything on tiktok. Best way to deal with them is to not engage.

[Bernie] may be old, but he’s still mentally intact.

At that age mental acuity can go fast. I would vote for Bernie over Trump or Biden in a heartbeat, but I would rather have someone younger.

Dude’s got more than enough on his plate, but maybe we could find an American comedian who plays piano with his dick

My childhood home phone number is more burned into my memory than my current phone number.

WE ASK THE QUESTIONS!

Businesses use feudalism, with the monarch (CEO), court (board), and several levels of lords and vassals.

Which is a big thing in The Boys. The company and The Seven™ are all about that PR.

Same. I like dark stories as much as the next person, but it hit way too close to home with real world politics for me.

High pitched voice: You fart helium!?

Holy shirt balls!

Something can be breadlike without being bread, in a similar way to how whales are fishlike without being fish.

The dictionary doesn’t dictate how words should be used; it reports how people use them. Consulting a dictionary is a way to find out how “lots of people” use a word.

Cake can also be in layers with ingredients inbetween, making a sandwich.

If the Good Die Young, by Tracy Lawrence

“Cause I’m gonna live forever if the good die young”

Infodump incoming:

Amino acids are the basic building blocks of life. DNA encodes which animo acids to put together in which order, and when. Ribosomes read bits of RNA that was copied from DNA and match up amino acids. The different animo acids correspond to different three nucleotides combinations (the As, Cs, Gs, and Ts of DNA). The ribosome attaches each animo acid in a chain.

When the amino acid chain detaches from the ribosome it folds into a protein. Different amino acids in different orders affect how the protein folds and what it becomes. Proteins are the structures and machinery of our cells.

There are 20 amino acids we need to make the proteins we rely on. Our bodies can make some of them and some of them we can’t. The ones our bodies can’t make we have to get from our diet. Those ones are called vital amines, or vitamins for short.
