its DOJ policy that a sitting president can not be indicted. that's literally the only reason trump isn't on trial right now

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-19T02:05:30+00:00

yep he's a professor at byu now

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T22:16:34+00:00

this is incredible

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T18:21:00+00:00

uh the article also says the wick effect is a successfully tested explanation for spontaneous combustion. idk if you just have too much time on your hands but now you're wasting my time and wrong besides.

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T18:12:51+00:00

this is gold

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T18:11:00+00:00

lmao this guy

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T18:07:12+00:00

after finding out he was under investigation for obstruction, he

publicly attacked the investigation
attempted to control it in a "non public" way

and maybe most importantly

encouraged witnesses not to cooperate with the investigation.

if you're going to start an argument for no reason, the least you can do is read the article on wikipedia first

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wick_effect

The wick effect theory says a person is kept aflame through his/her own fats after being ignited, accidentally or otherwise. The clothed human body acts like an "inside-out" candle, with the fuel source (human fat) inside and the wick (the clothing of the victim) outside. Hence there is a continuous supply of fuel in the form of melting fat seeping into the victim's clothing. Fat contains a large amount of energy due to the presence of long hydrocarbon chains.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_human_combustion#Natural_explanations

The "wick effect" hypothesis suggests that a small external flame source, such as a burning cigarette, chars the clothing of the victim at a location, splitting the skin and releasing subcutaneous fat, which is in turn absorbed into the burned clothing, acting as a wick. This combustion can continue for as long as the fuel is available. This hypothesis has been successfully tested with animal tissue (pig) and is consistent with evidence recovered from cases of human combustion. The human body typically has enough stored energy in fat and other chemical stores to fully combust the body; even lean people have several pounds of fat in their tissues. This fat, once heated by the burning clothing, wicks into the clothing much as candle wax (which typically was originally made of animal fat) wicks into a lit candle wick to provide the fuel needed to keep the wick burning. The protein in the body also burns, but provides less energy than fat, with the water in the body being the main impediment to combustion. However, slow combustion, lasting hours, gives the water time to evaporate slowly. In an enclosed area, such as a house, this moisture will recondense nearby, possibly on windows. Feet don't typically burn because they often have the least fat; hands also have little fat, but may burn if resting on the abdomen, which provides all of the necessary fat for combustion.

whoa. when was this? wilt died like 20 years ago

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T17:10:09+00:00

javale is an interesting guy, nba players are always saying he's way smarter and funnier than anyone is prepared to expect

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T17:08:43+00:00

lmao this is brutal, i almost dont believe it. stock had a rep as a pretty dirty player though..

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T16:53:36+00:00

big if true

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T16:44:14+00:00

no example is perfect, but you can't deny that mccaws wanted to get away from the dubs for more money and PT only to be left blowing in the wind

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T16:41:52+00:00

this literally cant be true, right? 10,000 dollars on a tip? I know pop is doing well but if I'm the IRS and I see this, I got some questions for the guy.

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T16:39:08+00:00

this is also the explanation for why sweaty people undergo spontaneous combustion, something that eluded scientific explanation for years. i think its called the wick effect.

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T16:35:47+00:00

How did the cavs get all those #1 picks

now this is a good one

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T16:18:57+00:00

the 2016 playoffs

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T16:13:30+00:00

nice deflection

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T15:38:43+00:00

the hawks won like 5 games this year, I find it hard to believe drummond would make you guys worse.

ACL tears are extremely common and easy as hell to misdiagnose. 72% of patients (n=186) who were originally diagnosed with knee strains were later diagnosed as actually having had partial or complete tears, either of the ACL or something else in the neighborhood (meniscus, bones, other ligaments etc)

Something else that complicates this is the unfortunate reality that a ton of cases that are diagnosed clinically were misdiagnosed. according to a study of meniscus tears:

57 from 113 [patients who were] clinically positive for meniscal tears before MRI meniscal tears were not confirmed with MRI.

And if that's not bad enough, as it turns out, MRI interpretations aren't exactly foolproof either

(brace yourself, this is extremely relevant for NBA players)

There are several explanations for the misleading results of MRI regarding the menisci. Firstly, meniscal tears and meniscus degenerative changes have the same appearance in MRI, by giving high signal within the meniscus. Moreover, one of the most frequent causes for false positive MRI regarding the lateral meniscus is the misinterpretation of the signal coming from the inferior knee artery

Later on, in the same study

As far as the cruciate ligaments concerns, our study showed that from the 27 ACL ruptures diagnosed during arthroscopy 8 of them were missed by the MRI

TL;DR -

most cases of knee strains are actually undiagnosed ligament tears
half of meniscus tears diagnosed clinically turned out to be wrong
MRIs are fucking hard to read

PSA: Any fluid collection in your knee following trauma should be investigated as a possible ACL tear.

how did that work out for mccaw and bell, or ezeli before them? i can agree that winning a championship is fun and valuable in its own way but theres no question that having a rep as the team scrub doesnt do a guys development any favors. you basically never get minutes and when you do, you get scapegoated when the team loses.

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T14:15:25+00:00

it is definitely my normal reaction to ask someone if they are retarded when i see them say stupid ignorant shit like you are right now

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T14:12:09+00:00

are you retarded? i never said anything specifically about women you fucking bell end. it's just a reality that being a doctor is fraught with legal risk.

jessezoidenberg · 2019-04-18T13:54:09+00:00

There's a lot of shit people can claim a doctor did that opens them up to being sued. Whether they win the case or not is another thing but doctors will still do whatever they can to avoid being in that position. Sorry if this makes you mad but it's the truth.
