Sentient dinosaurs that destroy their planet in a ecological catastrophe like in downer finale of the eponymous series?

Why? Did the Eastern Hummingbird fuck a couch?

Three hundred year-old Transylvanian vampires really have no business being in Australia. The sun there is even dangerous for us regular humans. For them it's likely even worse.

Their neural network will imagine a whole doom game in real-time

Most of the examples here are perfectly cromulent words.

I heard there was a secret cord.
you plug it in to meet the lord.
But you don't really care for safety, do ya?
It goes like this, you plug it in,
And in a flash, the lights go dim,
The power's gone,
and now it’s running through ya.

At least you only have to sink one Bayesian Superyacht to update your priors. To get at population parameters you would need to sink many Frequentist Superyachts

Would make a damn good series and has a really interesting and diverse set of characters.

D'Oh

When do we Germans beat them 7:1 again? Or is Germany just not as good at murder? /s

All normal procedures at my general practitioner, specialists or hospitals are fully covered. Dental procedures cost extra as they are only partly paid by the insurance (but have manageable prices, i.e. the biggest one was a root canal and a crown for 400€). Pharmacys are also not covered. For example, my dad has to pay around 100€ a month for insulin and test strips for his diabetes.

Holy shit, I pay the highest possible payment for public health insurance in Germany (which would also cover any kids till age 25) and this is only roughly 10.000€ per year and way cheaper for people who earn less than me.

My wife and I were staying in Bologna for 2 nights, and there was a big free open-air cinema on the largest public square that showed Italian film classics with English subtitles. We watched "La Dolce Vita" by Fellini on the first night and a satirical comedy called "Divorce Italian type" the second night. La dolce vita is great but not an easy watch since it deals with typical topics of early modernity in the 50s. It's kinda like the books from that time about existence and hedonism and the complexity of life. The other movie is about a guy who wants to murder his Wife so he can date his 16-year old cousin and is way funnier than the premise would suggest.

Strangely, the oldest thing I have left is a web hosting account by Strato that I opened around 1999. My dad still uses an e-mail adress he got with his first T-Online account when the internet became available for normal households in Germany in the mid-90s.

There are tons of statistical methods to get reasonable conclusions without an RCT. Some things can not be detected with an RCT, because the experiment is just impossible to run, so sometimes you need methods to do causal identification with observable data. Here you do not even need causal identification methods for observational data. You just need to do some descriptive statistics for a large group of people well to find interesting patterns. Whether this aging pattern in the mid-40s is causal it coincidental is not important at first. The pattern itself is interesting.

If you make it from coal it is vegan because coal is just plants. If it's made from petroleum it is not vegan because it is made from dinosaurs.

I did not expect the sheer amount of posts from Americans about mentally ill people or drug users. I taught this would get more vibes, like people moving weird furniture in trams, or people in weird costumes, or stuff like that.

Never seen someone piss in a tram/subway in Stuttgart and we have an annual beer festival (the Stuttgarter Wasen) Here.

Damn nature, you scary!
