  • I agree with the general vibe of police are bad, in Winnipeg they recently killed a woman because they were driving off-road in a park at night, but the idea behind "sin taxes" are generally as a deterrent, as well as a way to try to mitigate damage to others.

    I've been to places that are "cop bars" unknowingly, so the porcine populace may have have a DV-juice problem.

  • It's taxed the way it is, because the only drug that kills more than booze are cigarettes.

    Those taxes also go to help innocent people who are harmed in crimes that are often related to alcohol, like domestic violence, assault, and auto-incidents, also things like uttering threats and mischief.

  • New Line isn't one of the "major studios", so Torch Song is out, and I'm not sure that Birdcage is a romcom.
    Maurice, Trick, and The Broken Heart's Club, are also older and much better than bros, but not major studio releases.

    But all of these movies are watchable, so they're better than Bros.

  • My current group of players has only played Starfinder, Stars without Number, Cities without Number, Vampire the Masquerade (V5), and some one-shot games like Quiet Year.

    I don't want to run or play D&D, so I don't. If needed, we could always hang out without playing a game.

  • They aren't saying it's the first electric train, they are saying it's the first all electric "Giga Train".

    It's like how Bros kept trying to imply it was the first gay movie, or even first gay romcom, but it was the first gay romcom that was created and released by a major studio whose initial release was a "wide" release in more than one country.

  • The saying "dog days" is related to astronomy, and how a certain star appeared in the sky during the warmest months.

    edit: Maybe we can consider all Fridays cat days?
    It being Frigg/Freya's day, and Freya is known for her 2 kitties.

  • Not clickbait at all.

    Wet-bulb is the combination of heat and humidity, and it is deadly in 6 hours. The article is about the first time they have lab tested the conditions on humans to determine the exact numbers, instead of just using the 35C estimate that we have been using.

  • Reader mode of Firefox helped me be able to read the content of the article, despite the unacceptable layout.

    Here's the short version:
    Wet-bulb weather is when, because of a combination of humidity and heat, you can't naturally cool off with things like sweat.
    There are certain combinations where the weather only needs to be 25.8C for a health younger person, or 21.9C for an elderly person for "wet-bulb" to be achieved.
    Climate change is real, and it's causing more instances of "wet-bulb" weather.
    Outside activities may not be possible in the summer in certain parts of the world, people will die, the rich will move.
