  • Imagine your the foremost expert in the world on tortoise mating and your settling into the theatre for the new hit movie, Jurassic Park.

  • The laws don't seem to matter. It takes too long to enforce them and then the damage is done. Afterwards, Trump pardons whoever he needs to, or calls it an "official act" and no one pays for it.

    This will be how our government will work for the foreseeable future. There will be a "cold war" on which administrations can weaponize this the most.

  • All you have to do is make a life altering choice, be ridiculed by half of society in your most formative years, take drugs that forever reshape your body, and YOU TOO CAN WIN AT SWIMMING!

  • Genetic disposition for the body to produce antibodies that attack and kill insulin producing beta cells. There are 2 types, GAD and TSH antibodies. They are normally present at birth, but sometimes get triggered later in life by a cold/flu. There are a few mysteries in the exact mechanics, but I agree, overall, it is pretty well understood.

  • The first part was the best:

    • "How you doing this afternoon!"
    • "YEEAAAH!"
    • "I can't hear you. I said how you doing this afternoon!"
    • "...no..."
  • Vaguely remember getting a phone book until about 2000. After that, there were these off brand phone books that started showing up in my driveway for a few years. Those stopped around 2003 I think.

  • Yes. I find it very difficult to get a complete knowledge of something just reading random articles and playing with it. For me, one of those giant books intended to document every little aspect has always helped fill the gaps, and take my working knowledge up to expert level. It's getting harder to find those kind of quality books though.

  • Is Pliny "The Elder" or "The Younger"?

  • Hurry

    Jump
  • Aww. Tell them I said "Wheek wheek"!

  • If it's a traditional vaccine, I wonder if they'll see the same issues with blood clots as the J&J vaccine.

  • Same reason I don't put on my seat belt until the moment of impact. Total waste otherwise!

  • For all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace.

  • Usually no, but the last 2 days, yes. They have involved very accurate plays of songs I don't normally listen to (which I can't remember ever dreaming about before). The first was "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton. I was in a bar and it was being played. Heard every note for about 30 seconds. There was a guy in the band whose role was to suck smoke out of a dish with a slab of dry ice in it and blow it into a microphone.

    The second song was "Only the Lonely" by Roy Orbison. I've maybe heard this song 3 times in my life I think. But it seemed note perfect. The situation was I was hanging out with 3 people I called The Performer, The Guy, and The Lonely. The first two guys had to leave and... cue the song.

    EDIT: cue... thanks SpaceNoodle

  • I suppose if this were real, the charging warriors must all think they can glance the pike off their shield and barrel through. However, they end up glancing it to the left or right, surprising the warrior next to them who gets stabbed. They themselves get stabbed by the pike being glanced by the warrior next to them.

    Assuming an equal number of front line charging warriors to pike soldiers, if charging warriors all glanced left or all glanced right, there would be 1 charging warrior left unharmed.

    However, if every 2nd charging warrior agreed to sacrifice the guy between them and both glance towards him, 2N / 3 warriors could survive to fight on. The middle guy would also have to agree to not attempt to block the pike. He'd have to just run into it. But that is optimal I think.
