wordsonaplatform: samclifford: lacigreen: this is *awesome*thanks for the submission! I can kind of get behind this but I don’t know that “possible sexual acts” is a countable set over which a measure can be defined. Measure theory is also sexy. Measure theorists do it mutually, absolutely continuously. All I know is that until we have a cure for AIDS we can’t define an equivalent risk neutral measure Once we can show a Radon-Nikodym derivative exists between the measures of risk and pleasure of sex acts, we will have a grand unified theory of sex. Nothing is sexier than a Grand Unified Theory. And before anyone gets started, consent isn’t just sufficient, it’s necessary.

explore-blog: Helveticards – brilliant minimalist playing cards for design nerds, a fine addition to these creative playing card decks. “Minimalist”? I’m not sure anyone’s noted but there’s more on these cards than on traditional cards. And losing the bits at the base of the clubs and spades isn’t “minimalist” it’s confusing.

Create yourself as a Disney Princess

Create yourself as a Disney Princess

bossypants:

I did. Procrastination, oh, yeah.

Look I’m not entirely happy with the fact that I couldn’t have pants except for the very “I Dream of Jeannie” pants and that there’s only one body shape. But here it is. Me as a Disney princess type character.

ourgoatrodeo: captainkock: harrypotterconfessions: I honestly don’t agree with Harry and Ginny’s relationship. It was always awkward between them, and compared to Ron and Hermione’s relationship, there is no chemistry between Harry and Ginny. Ron and Hermione have always communicated, they fought and they made up. But with Harry and Ginny, it’s like they just decided to start liking each other. Uh, yeah, if you’re basing this off of the movies, which totally destroyed Ginny’s character and pushed Harmony. If you read the books, you’ll understand that their relationship totally makes sense. Yep.  Exactly.   When I read this confession, I thought, “This has to be someone who never read the books.”  Their relationship is SO different in the books (as is Ginny).   Yeah, the two only people in the world who know what it’s like to have Voldemort’s soul inside your head. Have. No. Chemistry.

theatlantic: Myth, Busted: Cracking Your Knuckles Won’t Give You Arthritis Obsessive knuckle-crackers are probably familiar with the old warning: keep up the noisy habit, and you’ll get arthritis someday. If you’re like most, though, the thought of aching joints hasn’t stopped you from cracking away, however guiltily. Can cracking your joints really give you chronic osteoarthritis? Or is it just a myth? […] Fed up with being told by family members about the dangers of joint cracking, one researcher decided to test the supposed link between arthritis and knuckle-cracking — on himself: For 50 years, the author cracked the knuckles of his left hand at least twice a day, leaving those on the right as a control. Thus, the knuckles on the left were cracked at least 36,500 times, while those on the right cracked rarely and spontaneously. The scientist proudly reported that his relatives were spreading crackpot (ugh, sorry) theories  in a paper published in 1998. The “research” won him an Ig Nobel Prize. Read more. [Image: orijinal/Flickr] Take that, haters. *cracks knuckles* Now if you don’t want me to do it you are going to have to flat out say that you find the noise disgusting, rather than some cockamamie excuse about how it’ll give me arthritis.
