Body readiness is clever because over-exercising can be a problem and lead to injuries down the road -- and under-exercising leads to being out of shape, this provides proof to the user what their body is ready for or what it needs, taking the guesswork out of how a user is thinking about how their body is doing. It uses the user's own data to come up with a score instead of comparing to some vague and sometimes inaccurate set of information. – Ramon Llamas	Found on CNN 3 years ago
They just dehumanize our families for political gain, i guess they call it gaslighting. They can say these things that will make people believe that these riots were worse than the worst thing that happened on American soil. Either they're ignorant or they're just really devious and clever, and you can put nothing past them, because if you're willing to lie to that degree … It's a disturbing trend to me. – Joe Connor	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
Hoping the Integration Test Email #1 I just got from @hbomax is somehow the first step in extremely clever viral marketing for #Peacemaker. – James Gunn	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
Her initial ruling was that this could work, now, the Republicans have a clever way to get around that by saying, well, you can’t get a budget our of the Budget Committee because we're not going to vote for it, there won't be a tie vote… and therefore, pursuant to the rules worked out at the beginning of the Congress, you can't start that discharge procedure. – Governance James Wallner	Found on FOX News 3 years ago

What speed giant tyrannosaurs might have normally walked at hasn't been a big question for many studies, but it is still an interesting question. The approach used here is complementary to fancier muscle-based simulation studies and, in a way, to data from fossil footprints, this study covers some new ground in a clever way with an original model. It's interesting and would be useful to integrate with and compare with other approaches in the future. – John Hutchinson	Found on CNN 3 years ago
