We find that long-term MD followed by 6+ weeks of normal vision doesn't cause an obvious change to disparity tuning. This rather degrades how disparity strength and preference are retinotopically mapped. We then show how this disorganization affects their binocular depth perception.

I thought billboards were prohibited on MoPac? ;)

There's probably another good analogy there for the reason they're swollen: the mechanic overtorqued them in the first place.

I love the description of language as a compression scheme.

Probably because they grew up in a world where parody and reality are indistinguishable.

At least it wasn't another close loss...?

I once got the warning on my phone blaring you are about to get softball size hail and we were camping...

It's almost impossible to keep the authors anonymous though either based on citations or specialized methods or because most people post the paper to biorxiv first.

Visma clearly made some sort of deal with the devil for the 2023 Grand Tour sweep.

To this day, though, my favorite publications and the work I am most proud of are still published in that journal.
comment in response to post
My first article was in a society journal after a couple years as a graduate student. At the time, it was the most prestigious publication in the lab. But now, publications in that journal are not even high profile enough to secure funding and promotions.

And any other point in the race where directors decide that position is important.

There's like zero acceleration in road cycling. Well, except for constantly in the first hour and the last hour and for every cat 1 or harder climb. Haha!

Do you think that makes those of us w/ titanium plates a higher risk for more severe injuries? Or will the plated bone still likely absorb the energy? I was also thinking that a "proper" fall would just put more important parts at risk. There's a reason we naturally stick our hands out when falling.

This brought back memories of climbing Mt Lemmon last November. I think the hardest part of long "5%" grade climbs is that it is really 7-9% segments with 2-3% segments that don't provide long enough recovery/relief.

November 27, 2024 was my last one.

What about Ted Nugent and Kid Rock?

Well, a trade for him would definitely involve that pick.

But does it experience the Thatcher Illusion?

There is already a bay so how about Lake Wisconsin? This will make even more sense after Wisconsin reclaims the Upper Peninsula to protect their northern border.

You should be looking up sailing rather than baseball references. Clearly, you don't know a jack from a sheet.

I couldn't find on the website where it says it is satire. It has to be satire? Right?

Do the Vikings defend play action really well or something?

12 for 12 to Jacobs, Kraft, and Reed. 3 for 13 to Wicks, Heath, and Melton.

Is there any head coaching interest in Hafley around the league?

For how much they lack in consistency, they sure are predictable.

The NFL is a joke. Once they partnered with gambling, it was over.

Pay the fine. Continental is just silly.

I mean, with the current state of things, why do we even have laws or judges?

You could also say that adults still develop too. In that respect, development in the prism is the continual interaction with the environment.

This should be the official logo of C57s. Diversity cannot be stopped.

Is there a good free option to store and share photos (albums and not just single photos) that you recommend?

They went from 9 wins to 11 wins. They haven't even played in the playoffs yet. They're the youngest team in the league. It's fine.

Hopefully, there's still a chance for him. If he tore an ACL though, it's going to be really hard. I think he already is a little slower from his injuries. He's gotten progressively better at catching though (minus the one play).

The AJ Hawk tenure was totally solid for a LBer. Z did have a great start. HHCD... Watson is so appealing. It is so easy to see why they drafted him. That Dallas game showed us the potential.
comment in response to post
I'm guessing you bought Watson jersey? I have a Dillon jersey buried deep in the closet. Sharpe is my only other real jersey. I had a knockoff Reggie one, too, so I don't think I'm cursed. Haha!

Hot? They were destroyed by the Buccaneers, barely beat the Panthers, did dominate the Vikings, and then beat the Bears 17-9 at home. I would hardly call that hot. Only the Vikings game suggested they could beat Dallas.
comment in response to post
They did the one with Love also in the game. I've been dreaming of that all season.
comment in response to post
It's like as soon as Watson seemed to get over the drops, Reed inherited them.

How about against the Steelers in Ireland?
