As my old man always says: "When in doubt, reboot."

Yes and Issac Newton was the one to make a mental picture of the relationship of speed, trajectory, and gravity called "Newton's Cannonball." He hypothesized that there's basically a "sweet spot" in which an object traveling fast enough to not fall back to a surface but slow enough to not trail off into space. He hypothesized that gravity was a universal force and was the driver of planetary and satellite motion.

It's a pretty famous though experiment. It's even referenced in Issac Newton's episode of Epic Rap Battles of history.

Retreat? Hell, we only just got here!

Because we've only had 44, but Grover Cleveland won non-consecutive terms. Hence he was the 22nd and 24th president.

Not as effective as a bear bag. And it's not just food you have to worry about: soap, toothpaste, flavored drinks. It doesn't matter how "bear proof" a container is, they might come a sniffing. Using a bear bag a good distance away from camp will make them less likely to poke around your tent. For those unaware, a bear bag is a bag that you toss all your smell-ables into at night and suspend from a tree branch high off the ground. Not only does it keep your food safe from being eaten, but being far away from camp means it draws the bears away from where you sleep, which is good for your health.

To dispell the American perception of Soccer:

They're not flopping all the time. It's a contact sport and sometimes they get the wind knocked out of them or really fucked up. In this past MLS final the keeper of LAFC got a broken leg (and a red card for illegal contact) trying to stop Philly's striker by sliding into him. Look at pictures from the Brazil/Serbia game of Neymar's ankle. It's swollen to the size of a grapefruit. In the past week of just a handful of World Cup games I've watched, I've seen dudes get kicked in the face, head, and dick. People ramming into each other at full speed. And getting cleated anywhere fucking sucks. There's a player for Wolverhampton that's still wearing a brace for a fractured skull and that motherfucker is still playing. Some games are physical slogs, it can actually get real nasty.

Now. As to why they'll flop and/or feign injury:

1. fishing for fouls. And sometimes you kind of need to do it because you were fouled but referees are pants on head stupid.

2. Time wasting. I like to say a team is 20 seconds away from scoring at any point in the match. You're up by 1 goal and it's the final 5 minutes? Got some rough contact? Better go to ground to burn the clock (and take a little break). It's not even the main method of time waisting. If you're up a goal, and you get a set piece (corner, goal kick, free kick, throw in, etc.) You taaake youuur tiiiime.

I'll say this: if you actually watch a game, they really don't flop as much as my fellow Americans like to think they do. They spend most of the time, you know... Playing the game. And it's exciting to watch because there's always something happening instead of people standing around or commercials every 30 seconds like with NFL and baseball.

There are rules for egregious flops. Simulation (faking illegal contact) gets ya carded. And the practice of flopping ain't going away. It's part of the tactics of the game, really. Not that they practice it in training or anything. And like I said, it's not like every bit of contact results in a player dropping to the ground and playing hurt. They go at each other hard most of the time. The only protection they have are shin guards. The rest of the body is exposed to abuse. You get tripped up while you're sprinting, it's going to hurt. Dude steps on you literally anywhere, it's going to hurt. NFL players have the luxury of play stopping for a minute between plays to walk it off when their bell gets rung. Soccer players don't. Hell, the game even keeps going if there's a man down. They won't stop play unless he doesn't get up for a while. Or if it was contact to the head.

Which United Retirement Club will he be joining in the MLS? Galaxy? Miami? Is Rooney gonna call in a favor and he goes to DC?

Dear R7, come to Philly! It's got a similar climate to the UK, except it rains less! You know, if you're into that! We have a Designated Player slot open AND we have a vacancy in the forward position since Cory Burke left AND we got some cash to spend after selling Paxton Aaronson... About enough to pay you 2 months worth of wages!

Goddamnit, give us an ex Untied player! Except Harry Maguire.

The whole plant is edible. People use the flower as a bittering ingredient in beer.

So a nuclear attack has three components to its deadliness. One is the initial blast. Anything at the epicenter is vaporized. Anything within a given radius of the epicenter is blasted away, depending on the power of the weapon. Second, everything catches fire and this multiplies the damage. Third, which is less of a factor now that nuclear weapons use their fuel more efficiently, is fallout. Depending on the amount, it can make entire areas uninhabitable for quite some time. With one or two bombs, as seen in Japan, those areas can be habitable relatively quickly. But, say, total nuclear war? That's an entirely different scenario.

Now, a nuclear attack is likely to be centered around major population centers. You're pretty much screwed if it comes to pass. But if you're far removed into rural territory, you could manage for quite a while given that total war doesn't cause a nuclear winter. The other issue would be the aftermath of such an attack on things like electricity, water sanitation, supply chains for food and supplies, the environment, etc. We could literally bomb ourselves back to the stone age of which the recovery takes centuries.

In short: one bomb? So long as you're a couple feet underground and removed from the immediate area. A full nuclear exchange? You're probably screwed either immediately or eventually.

Several factors, really. Alcohol is made when yeasts eat sugars and crap out alcohol and fart CO2. Not all sources of sugar are the same, and not all sugar is fermentable. Not all yeasts are the same, either. Just like humans have selectively bred crops and animals to serve specific functions, we've (mostly unknowingly until recently with advances in microbiology) selectively bred yeasts. Some have higher alcohol tolerances than others, for they'll usually keep reproducing during fermentation until they make their environment so toxic from alcohol it kills them - and then we drink it.

Aside from that, things like water chemistry (dissolved minerals, acidity, etc.) Factor into healthy yeast reproduction (hence alcohol production). Water is the main ingredient in all alcoholic drinks, and it's ratio to fermentables usually correlates to alcohol percentage. Grape juice is packed with natural sugars. Cider and grain? Not so much. But there's different kinds of grapes, apples, and grains that all affect that fermentable sugar content. There's a whole lot of grain types that are used more for how they affect flavor than alcohol content: crystal malt, roasted barley, etc have been kilned which caramelizes some to most of the sugar in the grain. This renders the sugar unfermentable but gives the beverage certain flavors. Wheat, Rye, and Oats also don't add much sugar, but they do affect mouthfeel.
