You left out the two most important things - hospitalization and death. The vaccine is remarkably effective at preventing those two things. You also ignored the fact that if 98% of people at Duke hadn’t been vaccinated, then probably more than 3,000 people would have been infected. You know what struggles more against…

He probably could’ve phrased it better, but I agree with the underlying sentiment 100%. It’s absurd that every male friendship gets distorted into a potential gay relationship, even when there’s no evidence beyond the relationship being just a male friendship. Happens with female friendships, too (see, e.g.,…

I’m a bit puzzled at the way in-universe people talk about the events of Infinity War and End Game as if they watched the movies along with the rest of us. Darcy wasn’t there, and likely wouldn’t have had access to any sort of top level debriefs of the existing Avengers left after the Snap. The level of detail she has…

Theoretically, they don’t - that is the beauty of quantum field theory. If field particles are stable they will still be subject to the same energy quantum fluctuations as the field itself*. You can think of it as a variant of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Presumably, since both the electron and the quarks are…

The heat death of the universe has always fascinated me. If you reach zero kelvin theoretically the electrons stop rotating around a nucleus. Its kind of catch 22 though because then gravity would cause the electron the collapse to the nucleus thereby causing movement and heat. I dunno this seriously fucks with my…

‘Automatics are faster’...I don’t care, I don’t drive on a racetrack. ‘Automatics are better in traffic’...I live in NJ, we know traffic, and I still prefer a manual and I do get off the damned highway and take back roads when it’s bumper-to-bumper. ‘You just want to pretend you are a racing driver’...No, I just want…

I buy new cars, and I won’t buy one without a manual.

What good is Des without Troy?

I know it’s a line, but crossbows were once considered so deadly and terrible that a pope banned their use (against Christians). Them and longbows were so good that they could kill any kind of Christian, even the nobility who could afford armor that your typical soldier/serf wouldn’t have. So maybe they were just…

Cue the “well this is still not enough”, “this is like $100 to him”, etc crowd.

A costume so awesome, the only way I can express my admiration is to have it translated into Mandarin by a movie bootlegger, who then translates it back into English:

ok but that’s the most scripted looking dive I’ve seen outside of Spanish Futbol.

Yet somehow large segments of our voting population wants to create more of them....

People forced to take a low wage job are shitty people? Who suck the life out of you?

I’m not so sure about that. A good spin workout will burn a lot of calories. It mostly uses your legs/glutes, but those are your biggest muscles. My heart rate is highly elevated and I am gasping for air after a 45 minute spin session. I suppose you could theoretically burn more calories doing something else, but…

The real change is the friends she made along the way...

2006 Maxima is what i think

‘04-’08 Maxima. Inset trunk, slightly buttressed rear window, 7 spoke wheels, headlights shaped to the front wheel arch, no chrome strip over the tag

It’s Boston. They were already going to piss in their cup and throw it at the ref anyway

My favorite car seats.
