Term: FRIENDLY FIRE

Definition: Friendly fire is when someone on the same team accidentally hurts or damages their own team members. This can happen in war or when police are trying to catch bad guys. It's like when you accidentally hit your friend with a ball while playing a game, but much more serious and dangerous.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Friendly fire is when a person or group accidentally harms their own side during a military or police operation. It can also refer to a fire that is burning where it is supposed to, but still causes unintended damage.

During a battle, a soldier may accidentally shoot at their own team member, causing injury or death. This is an example of friendly fire in a military context.

In a police chase, officers may accidentally hit a civilian's car while trying to stop a suspect. This is an example of friendly fire in a police context.

Another example of friendly fire is when a controlled fire, such as a prescribed burn, gets out of control and damages property or harms wildlife.

These examples illustrate how friendly fire can occur in different situations and can have serious consequences, even when it is unintentional.

Bro didnt realize that Application review is on a rolling basis. Decisions are made on individual applications as quickly as possible; however, the time required to a make a decision will vary among applications. A rolling admission process allows for extending the review process as appropriate ensuring that each application receives full and individualized attention in the context of careful comparison to other complete applications.

Raw eggs roll down my throat. I actually like eating raw eggs, however, the feeling of a glob of yolk/albumen gives me the feeling of chocking. Idk I personally think pushing yourself in all regards is a net positive, so I dig it. How many raw eggs have you ever eaten/drank at once? My record is 10
