Cool.

Forever reblog.

“you are never taller than when you stand up for yourself”

thats just awesome

“You’re the result of 4 billion years of evolutionary success; F***ING ACT LIKE IT.”

My fave right there.

“You are never taller than when you stand up for yourself” My all time favorite.

“A solid foundation” That is a good way to think of it.

My all time favorite meme! I have a lot saved on my computer for when I need motivation, it works everytime.

crash-course-on-everything:

After your encounter with the utahraptor in the forest clearing (if you missed it, click here), you begin to head for higher ground because the rest of its pack surely heard both the gunshot and their fallen comrade’s death-roar, so they’ll be on your trail soon. You begin to ascend a nearby volcano, and after trekking a vertical distance of 250 meters from your starting point, you turn and look out across the forest from whence you came. You see several pairs of vengeful eyes looking back at you from the tree line. They’ve found you.

There’s no way you could outrun them, and for some reason you only had one bullet in your gun (they’re expensive, or something), and it was used to kill the first raptor. You notice a toboggan a few feet to your left, which is itself a few feet from a convenient toboggan-sized track in the basalt leading in a straight line down the volcano. Naturally, you hop into the toboggan, and begin sliding down the volcano’s side. You reach the bottom of the volcano, and begin sliding on a horizontal surface. You look around and the raptors are nowhere to be seen, although up ahead you see a river of lava which you are heading straight towards. There is a sudden 30° incline in the toboggan track right before the river, and the river is 400 meters wide (you were distracted by the pack of ferocious dinosaurs, that’s why you didn’t see it before). The toboggan has this super high-tech gliding wax on the bottom that completely eliminates friction with any surface.

Do you survive?

Diagram:

Necessary formulas:

PE=m•g•∆h

KE=1/2•m•v²

Vf=Vi+a•t

d=Vi•t+1/2•a•t²

h=height

KE=Kinetic energy

PE=Potential energy

m=mass

v=velocity (with an f it’s final velocity, with an i it’s initial velocity)

d=distance

t=time

a=acceleration

g=acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s²on earth)

Fun little exercise. If I was a teacher, you can bet my lessons would be like this.

You should also sign this petition to get rid of the asshole coach who said the girl was lying to save the ‘promising young athletes’

literally took 30 seconds.

Signed and signal boosting.

This is very easy and very important. It takes 30 seconds, less if you have an autofill extension.

12-year-old girl: I don't want kids when I grow up.

Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:18:56 -0400

12-year-old girl: I don't want kids when I grow up.
Society: You'll change your mind when you get older. You're only 12. You're too young to know what you want.
16-year-old girl: I'm pregnant.
Society: How could you be so stupid? Do you know anything about safe sex? You should be ashamed.
20-year-old woman: I'm a single mother with an infant son.
Society: You should've gone to college first. You need a stable career before you can support a child.
33-year-old woman: I'm married and my spouse and I both have stable careers. I have two young daughters now.
Society: You're not staying home? Who's going to take care of them? You're just going to put them in day care while you work? That's selfish of you. You can't expect to raise decent kids with a full-time job.
45-year-old woman: I just had my first child.
Society: Why would you have a child when you're that old? Do you realize the health risks of being pregnant at your age? When your kid is a teenager you'll be a senior citizen. That's inconsiderate of you.
60-year-old woman: I haven't had any children.
Society: Your life must be so unfulfilling. Is there something wrong with you? Why didn't you want kids? How strange.

This is off the Bermuda Triangle, where 16+ ships washed up on a sand bar. The mystery is still unsolved

Actually the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has been given a scientific explanation: methane vents which have been discovered in that region.

Methane reduces the density of water, causing ships that would normally float, to instead sink.

Methane, when in gas form, messes with the electrical components of aircraft, causing them to fail and sometimes fall right out of the sky.

Methane also causes the water to turn a ghostly greenish color, and the “ghost ships” reported to be seen are simply green reflections of the ships that scatter the bottom of the triangle.

Fucking science, man.

so

the bermuda triangle

is caused

When an administrator draws a line on a map, sometimes it can later be seen from space. Farmland demarcations in Australia.
