There is a superstition that “a woman born in the year of the fire horse has a strong temperament, shortens her husband’s life and bring ruin to their families and maybe even kill their husbands.” It is said that the superstition in the early Edo period that “there are many fires in the year of the fire horse”, changed to a superstition about women’s marriage because Yaoya Oshichi was believed to have been born during the fire horse.

They’re using walking (region alpha) vs biking (region beta) region as an analogy: “paradoxically” you’ll reach some further distances earlier, based on your choice of mode of transport. Which wouldn’t work in my case cause I’ll take the bike to the grocery store down the street. At any rate, your “choice” of defense mechanism influences your rate of recovery, is what they’re trying to say

Damn, will I have to make another post?!

Damn, good point. Couldn’t come up with a counter-example so just copy/pasted off of Wikipedia verbatim lmao Look out for tomorrow’s TIL when I look up what that type of locomotion is called lol

Actually, I’m really at a loss at what to call this paraphyletic group; tetrapods come to mind but they technically still include snakes…
