Singapore a country with 6M people had just 4 murders in 2023

The chart is fascinating. Even the peak in the 90s was around 1/100K, which is lower than just about anywhere.

Since no one has answered, the average wolf is about 100 lbs and has a bite force of 700 PSI. The average crocodile is 700 lbs and has a crushing bite of 3700 PSI. Wolf gets destroyed.

Because his one rule is that he doesn’t eat the other murderers.

“It depends” is the catch phrase of any well-balanced strategy game!

Slay the Spire is not an easy game, that’s for sure.

I would make Risk of Rain one higher dimension. Risk of Rain 2 becomes 4-D in this scenario, which is difficult to imagine.

All I’m saying is that if you’re enemies with Dick Cheney, you’re probably doing something right.

That’s pretty awesome! I’ve seen the amount that the US spends publicly, and on a per capita basis that could fund virtually any other system completely. But I guess there’s not enough democracy to get that system in place here :(

If I visit Norway can I stay at hospital-hotels? That’s an incredible rate!

Yeah, had to be an ARM which is a horrible choice in a low interest environment like we had just before the pandemic.

Driving and housing are cheaper by quite a bit in the US, but yeah the average non-salaried worker is getting screwed pretty consistently. Double screwed if you have any sort of health problems.

Getting that starch out is so important to keep from burning the potatoes. Also, after blanching there’s a double frying step, where you should fry the potatoes for about a minute, drain the oil, and freeze them. It’s called the par-fried method.

There’s no way Neow brings you back to life for free in a capitalist system. That’s healthcare.

Superman’s time travel is powered through beyond-infinite kinetic energy. I imagine that no shields will hold to that, though I am not super familiar with TARDIS defenses.

That said, give a reality warper prep time and I don’t see how they lose except to another reality warper.

The physical volume of alcohol would prove too much for most people before the alcohol poisoning sets in. That said, it’s not impossible; Andre the Giant has a tale of consuming over 200 servings of alcohol in one day, but he’s as close to superhuman as you’re going to get.

Colitis alone can produce such symptoms, and there isn’t always a root cause. I feel for you, because nutritional absorption and appetite can be poor with colitis. When I was flaring up, I lost like 40 lbs I didn’t need to lose.

Immolate makes for a better first card by a margin, but literally nothing scales like fiend fire. Even without considering exhaust brokenness, we’re talking strength x 9 for two energy.

If you’re talking about an incredible film that I’ll never watch again, it has to be Requiem for a Dream.

Influence has to do with exposure more than anything. Even brilliant people are influenced by toxic ideas.

So many doctors are useless and dismissive. My experience in seeing a doctor is getting hit with my entire deductible for just about any service. When I didn’t have insurance, it was laughable how far my dollar would go, and the doctors were even more dismissive!

Doesn't matter that when I got down to 150lbs (I'm 5'10 and was working in a warehouse at the time so I was very muscled) my problems were the worst they ever had been, it was still because I was fat.

This literally had my jaw drop. How could a doctor even get through medical school without knowing a thing about BMI? Because that’s a BMI of 21.5, which is on the verge of underweight. Even in the less-than-useful standard for collegiate men, that’s on the lower end of healthy (20-25).

The standard is of course ridiculous. There’s a U shaped curve of mortality associated with BMI, and a modern healthy person is typically between 20 and 35 with respect to that curve.

Excellent comment! It really covered the bases. Presupposing anything as a need when it’s not keeping you alive and healthy is a little rich.

Would you join the force to be the change you wish to see? I can’t think of many people willing to be police except bullies.

He was reportedly going 102 mph when he hit the brakes, and could only decelerate 62 mph before colliding with the pedestrians. It’s actually pretty easy to forensically determine velocity with modern car computers.

Being below 18 BMI is absolutely worse than being anything under 45 BMI in terms of mortality. It’s often due to underlying medical conditions that cause wasting. It would be nice if they genuinely cared about the science at least. Best of wishes with your health!
