Sometimes Dr. Sylvia is depicted with her eyes visible, and sometimes she has them covered with opaque screens that project eyes onto them. How does she choose, and how does she change them?

she usually covers her real eyes when she’s blushing or otherwise doesn’t want ppl to sense her mood, since while she is Very good at maintaining her composure at all times, her modified body still imposes a very high level of pleasure at all times that still sometimes makes her blushy and unserious looking

and she can toggle it with a specific brow flexation!

Leif Segerstam's Creative Use of English

A few years ago we worked with Leif Segerstam, a composer/conductor from Finland. He had a remarkably creative way of using the English language, and as usual, I started writing my favourite quotes in our music. After a few days, I learned that several other members of the orchestra were doing the same thing. This is a compilation of our efforts.

Unlike the collected quotations of another famous conductor, these aren't just the fractured phrases of someone who speaks English as a second language - we have before us a record of the creative mind of a kaleidescopic flexator electrifically fluxating new meaning into a tired old language

#691: the director of avatar, james cameron, wanted the film to be as realistic as possible. for example, there are these things (he denies theyre dragons) called banshees, which are basically dragons. they designed the "banshee buns of steel workout" for the actors, which meant they rode the banshees as if they had done it their whole life. instead of having one of those gym vaulting horse thingies, or a wooden model, they used very large stuntmen as placeholders for the banshees, who wore saddles for the actors to jump onto. for a natural flexation or some nonsense like that.

apparently james cameron is a really annoying direector to work with: pushy, selfish, idealistic, etc. kate winslet, who starred in cameron's titanic, said she would never work with him again because she kept on being pushed to her limits, and nearly drowned. but then she starred in avatar: way of the water (the recent one) and actually set a record for the longest time shooting for a film underwater (without air) (seven minutes). so maybe cameron isnt that bad lol

Tuesday – photo by Mitch Waxman A friend who lives north of Pittsburgh, in the Butler area, called and opined that I should join him for a day at the Butler County Fair. Why not? I’ve never been to a county fair in a somewhat rural area before. I decided ahead of time to ignore all the MAGA hats, Trump flags, and the general flexation of reality I would encounter from isolated people who don’t…

Here's a sort of diagnosis for "am I stretching my hamstrings or my nerves":

When you're in your hamstring stretch position, flex your toes (pull them toward you). If the pain you are experiencing is qualitatively similar, but goes way up, congratulations, you were stretching the nerves.

Flexation of the foot is purely a calf muscle exercise and has zero (or near zero) impact on the length of the hamstring itself. But it does connect to that huge nerve and fascia chain that runs from the top of your head, down your back, and to the bottom of your feet.

For many people, that nerve pain is more likely to show up when you do the toe flexion. So the diagnosis here is whether it feels similar to what you had before, or something totally different.

It's kind of amazing how universal the physical therapist (and biomechanics-based trainer) community opinion is on "don't stretch your hamstrings". This is in contrast to most of my sports coaches and PE instructors, who had us do hamstring stretches constantly.

The best explanation I've seen for "don't stretch your hamstrings" is that "your hamstrings are tight" is usually a symptom of something else, usually weak (or inactive) glutes, but sometimes also weak hamstrings. They can also be a result of tight quads (which probably shouldn't be stretched either). Also, a lot of folks who go to stretch their hamstrings end up stretching their ligaments (bad) or sciatic nerve (bad, and also hurts like hell). The latter is why hamstring stretches were always so miserable to me; I wasn't even stretching them! In general, if stretching [your hamstrings, among others] really hurts, you might be doing a nerve stretch instead and you should stop doing that.

Much of the PT community seems pretty resistant to passive stretching. They'll support active stretching, where you resist the stretch at every point along its range. That seems to allow the muscle to relax by encouraging it to fire first and then relax. (And it seems to work for me.) But when a muscle is tight or sore, it tends to be that the tightness and soreness are a result of something else working incorrectly (obvious exception for "this muscle is sore because I worked it really hard yesterday").

Flexual Pride Flag

Flexuality: an affectional/orientation/relational/attractional identity that express flexibility/flexity, while not specifying the direction it goes as most -flexible terms do. 

Also called flexional and flexational. It was probably popularized by David Jay.

also i cannot believe it didnt occur to me until just now that a cool and easy way to work on my knee would be to sit in such a way that my leg is raised and let gravity do literally all the work

So the fia will conduct extra testing on the rear wing flexation after the quali.... I'm not saying it's sus that when redbull was brought into question they got 6 races to fix their rear wing before the new measures were introduced while the new measures are introduced here (right after the complaint) directly after quali to maximally fuck merc over but that's exactly what I'm saying.

[uwupissarozzieuwu]

Idea!

Ozzie is helping Fizz with some perscribed physical therapy and something about one of the stretches or positions or flexations or SOMETHING puts just the right/wrong amount of strain on Fizz's body and he has a blowout accident

Oh no!!! I love it 😈

Fizz, like… never fucking shits. Okay, that’s an exaggeration. But because of his injuries to his nerves and muscles, they have poor communication, and so he only has one big bowel movement around once a week.

So, him suddenly blowing out shocks both him and Ozzie, because it was nowhere near his predicted time for a bowel movement 😅 They both just kinda stand there, Fizz still in that awkward position.

When it’s done, Ozzie does this awkward laugh, unsure of how to help. Meanwhile, poor Fizz is so embarrassed:((( He’s a mess, the floor’s a mess, everything around him is a mess.

What happens?

Serviciul taiat din forehand - pozitia va fi cu picioarele flexate si departate la latimea umerilor, piciorul stang fiind lateral si in fata, cu greutatea uniform repartizata pe amandoua. Mana stanga sustine mingea in podul palmei ( degetele fiind intinse ) la o departare corespunzatoare de trunchi.

last anon is correct, lando does ask for donation (which is kinda weird, true). But I don't understand why someone would ask you that lol. People really be dropping random shits in your askbox

bdksnfksnfksbfks ok weird flexatations from ya boy lando but yeah like legiterally just post something like ‘hey guys does anyone think its weird lando asks for donations?’ and im sure someone will reply! like i promise u dont need me to tell u what to think !

Sort of Outer Worlds spoilers, though not the sort anyone except me will care about...

Here’s a small theory concerning Monarch (the moon).

Pre-terraforming, it was some sort of Io-type object.

Consider. It’s in close orbit to a large gas giant, so tidal flexation must be a thing. Also, there’s a large amount of acidic pools everywhere. There’s also a lot of convoluted terrain, and chasms and so on - as if there’s been a lot of geological activity.

Now, all that acid must be coming from somewhere. It’s highly-reactive by definition - if it wasn’t being replenished, you’d think it would tend to de-acidify itself away over time, through reactions with all the non-acidic stuff in the environment. Also, it’s lying around in pools on the ground - as if it rained out from the sky.

So, consider. Tidal flexation from the gas giant sets up a lot of internal heating, Io-style. This in turn drives vulcanism. Vulcanism injects lots of sulphur compounds into the atmosphere - post-terraforming, these interact with water vapour to produce an extreme case of acid rain.

I think it at least vaguely fits together, doesn’t it?

It would also explain why the terraforming is half-broken on Monarch. Presumably they can’t do anything about tidal flexation from the gas giant, so vulcanism continues, and so does the acid rain.

Flexation

Long, leisurely, languid.

Time stretched, an almost impossible defiance of the physics upon which Q had come to rely and trust in his brief but promising career in espionage.

There were times he could almost - almost - be hesitant to trust himself. In those brief stretches of elongation where the frayed wiring of his nerves were smoothed down once more, the edges caressed soft again by warm water and soap-silken hands, gliding with slow abandon down his back and around his hips to take him in hand once again, as he had done so many times before.

Every mission from which his Quartermaster brought him home was its own reward and Time flexed at his mercy to prove that some rules were worth bending.
