Here’s a different number: The plane descended at a rate of 4,000 feet per minute, so 400 feet is one tenth of that. If you think that “six seconds away from crashing” is okay, then you should never get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle again.

Dude, it’s Iowa. Expecting Iowa to go Blue nowadays is like expecting the College of Cardinals to vote for Bill Maher to be the new Pope

I would make an Elon joke, but I'm not sure he's capable of it anymore

Now above

When I used to work in labs, we were always told that when it comes to HF exposure, once you feel it, you’re already a dead person

Aren’t you specifically NOT supposed to take the weight off of someone who is pinned until paramedics arrive? Because at that point, isn't the weight the only thing keeping them from bleeding internally?

I can't believe how often I have to write this: at most outlets, editors write the headlines, not the authors.  

It’s been found that the proportional size of certain parts of the brain correlate to political views.

Is it kinda weird that I don’t think Matt Bomer is buff/broad enough to be Superman specifically?

Alamo Drafthouse was already circling the drain when they were bought, IIRC.  

The difference between fraud and negligence is intent, which is notoriously difficult to prove without documentation (email/text message, for example).

Positive infinity and negative infinity add up to zero, after all

For reference, what I found from a cursory search was that starting wage at United was ~$28 per flight hour, and Southwest was ~$24 per flight hour back in 2018

Right, but aren’t there ground-based radar stations that should have picked it up as well? 

Glen Powell in Hit Man, looking like the kind of creepy guy who might eat you after a date

One of the things that I always find amusing is our notion of “Puritan” attitudes. Based on historical records, fully 25% of all marriages in “Puritan” New England were of the shotgun (“blunderbuss”?) variety.  

How does a massive hailstorm not show up on anyone's radar?

Can you list any Hollywood faces that are MORE punchable than Glen Powell’s?

Florida, as always, is behind the times

Wouldn’t this be a state court issue, not a Federal one?
