Dynamic Stall

I didn’t wake up this morning with the intention of quitting my job but that’s what happened. Kinda odd but also kinda liberating. I was planning on staying with my team till I found another. But there I went and said it. I heard myself giving notice before the logical part of me even noticed! Wacky shite.

So, I quit my job, then went and bought a laptop after mailing my grad school application off to UCLA. Oh, and I’m selling the truck and getting a new car. I have no idea how I’m going to afford all of this. And frankly, I don’t even care.

What the frock am I on?!! I think I’m on the ‘the next 40 years aren’t going to be boring’ drug.

It’s a good drug!

I’m sure everyone and their dog has seen this. It’s still worth posting because it’s thought-provoking, well-done, put together by a professor who’s teaching methods inspire my own, and it’s cool!

foist • \FOIST\ • verb

1 a : to introduce or insert surreptitiously or without warrant

Example Sentence:

Did you know?
An early sense of the word “foist,” now obsolete, referred to palming a phony die and secretly introducing it into a game at an opportune time. The action involved in this cheating tactic reflects the etymology of “foist.” The word is believed to derive from the obsolete Dutch verb “vuisten,” meaning “to take into one’s hand.” “Vuisten” in turn comes from “vuyst,” the Middle Dutch word for “fist” which itself is distantly related to the Old English ancestor of “fist.” By the late 16th century “foist” was being used in English to mean “to insert surreptitiously,” and it quickly acquired the meaning “to force another to accept by stealth or deceit.”

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
