Super hero movies should have more scenes of them accidentally maiming people just because of the sheer amount of power they weild.

  • The wild thing is that the shock value was toned down from the comics

  • This is fantastic story, like Giamatti's easily good enough that he could have just asked, but the idea was so big in his head that it just seemed like a total pipe dream from his perspective. I genuinely cannot wait to watch him.

    • What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid?

    Jump

  • Agreed on the private equity firms shit, I've worked at 2 such hospitals and they've been hell. They're most assuredly not passing those increased prices along to the employees in form of wage increases, I'll tell you that.

    Also, that tooth extraction is a choice to use as a comparison. I've never had to be anesthetized for my extractions, but good luck doing that on an awake dog, so of course costs are going to be high. Anesthestizing you for your dentistry would cost way way more than it does now, and certainly more tgan your dog's.

    • What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid?

    Jump

  • There's no way it costs more than your doctor. You are either glossing over what your insurance is paying for you, or your doctor is seeing you in a back alley somewhere.

    Also, you're not paying for the vet's time spent looking at bloodwork, which I actually do believe is 5 minutes. You're paying for the 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, (and if they're truly a specialist) several years of residency and being boarded, plus many hours of specialized continuing education per year.

  • What are your thoughts on the word "biennial"?

    • Or we could do metric time

  • This meme already ignores the fact that it's only produced a calendar of 364 days.

    Most proposed versions I've seen of this calendar have New Year's Day as a standalone holiday, so the leap day presumably tacks on to that every 4 years?

  • Ah, thank you so much, I missed that. Definitely curious to see how that shakes out.

    • 'Category 5' was considered the worst hurricane. There's something scarier, study says.

    Jump

  • You make a fair point, but even assuming this level of hurricane was occurring previously, at least we can now monitor their frequency moving forward.

    Edit: I just read the article, and it indicates all such recorded hurricanes were within the last decade

    • What is your most embarrassing "ate the onion" moment?

    Jump

  • Oh man, sometimes yes but sometimes not so much. Know how humans have 23 chromosomes? And we're diploid, which means they come in pairs of 2?

    Some plants have a few more pairs than that - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploidy And some plants have way WAY more than 23 chromosomes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_by_chromosome_count There's a plant at the bottom of that list that has 1260 chromosomes.

    I only took 1 botany class back in college, so I don't know or remember enough to talk about this in more depth. I really only know enough to be shocked by how crazy a plant's genuine can be.

    • What is something small you can do almost (if not everyday) to improve on yourself?

  • That's not the issue here; try rereading the sentence as if the section in parentheses didn't exist

    • Can licking an iron bar get you the daily recommended amount of iron?

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is a strange mix of information being conveyed. Tetanus is indeed caused by an anaerobe, and it's caused by a puncturing wound. The depth of the wound is what causes the oxygen-free environment. The correlation with iron, from my understanding, is solely because a nail can easily cause such a puncture. A nail stepped on in the general environment can easily innoculate the wound with with the relatively common Clostridium tetani bacteria, which causes tetanus. I don't think rust is a factor, though I've been wrong before.

  • This is a great article, but given your context, I chuckled when I stumbled across this line: "There is yet another important variable in this sprawling equation, and it might be the most important one of all: the home theater experience."

    • Do the people in Reniassance festivals occurring in Britain also speak with faked British accents, or do they use faked French/Italian accents instead?
