This is just a start.
Weight lifters feeling "pumped" is similarly literal. I get this from rock climbing more often than lifting, but after a particularly strenuous climb, your arm muscles feel inflated--they're engorged with blood. It can take a minute for it to subside.
Vader is clearly homicidal and irrational. Leia's superior rationality won't slow him down. Leia recognizes that immediately, but she should also have realized that revealing the base's location wouldn't prevent him from destroying the planet.

I think there's a lot of research that shows we're fairly bad at predicting how other people see the world, and how much detail there is in their heads. I've read quite a few books that talk about how some people presume that other people are speaking metaphorically when they talk about imagining scenes in color or in 3-d, or how they can "hear" a musical piece in their mind. Those who can assume that others just aren't trying. Face-blindness wasn't recognized for quite a while.
Some people are much better at doing mental rotations of 3-d objects than others. I can do a decent mental image of the inside of an orange,... (read more)
The Iowa Election Markets were roughly contemporaneous with Hanson's work. They are often co-credited.
Proofreading comment:
Please change "folks" to "focus"
I don't see a place for listing book orders, so does this use an automated Market Maker? What's the algorithm? (e.g. Hanson's LMSR?) Where can we find the code?
Cooking tainted meat doesn't denature prions. (They aren't "alive", so they can't be "killed".) Neither do most biological processes, as you might expect in the normal case of digestion. As the article above mentions, they can persist in the environment for years.
It can take temperatures of several hundred degrees to denature them.
A friend has been asking my views on the likelihood that there's anything to a correlation between changing levels of lead in paint (and automotive exhaust) and the levels of crime. He quoted from a Reason Blog:
... (read more)So Nevin dove in further, digging up detailed data on lead emissions and crime rates to see if the similarity of the curves was as good as it seemed. It turned out to be even better: In a 2000 paper (PDF) he concluded that if you add a lag time of 23 years, lead emissions from automobiles explain 90 percent of the variation in violent crime in America. Toddlers who ingested high levels of lead
Your points are mostly fair that this kind of behavior has precedents. But I'm a libertarian so saying the other team is doing the same thing doesn't convince me much that it's not bad. From my viewpoint, the current administration has more of a plan of ignoring rules, laws, the constitution, etc. than most previous. Each incident has antecedents, and I can see how people on the red team might think "we're just doing to them what they've been doing to us", but what I see is a more concerted effort to undermine the rule of law.
The behavior of ICE (masks, lack of visible ID, ignoring warrant requirements, ignoring judicial orders) seems... (read more)
