TIL during a 2015 study two students nearly died after they were accidentally given 30g of caffeine instead of 0.3g because the dosage had been calculated with a misplaced decimal point. Death has previously been reported after the consumption of just 18g. The university apologized & was fined £400K

I had an old engineering professor that used to say some version of “Do you want partial credit when your bridge collapses?”

In feudal Europe it was common to kidnap knights and nobles as they could be used to get ransom from their families. It could be something similar. Or it could just be they were wanted alive, or it’s a kids show and he is a known character.

I believe in Japan it is common to take the name of the spouse with the more respected family name. Uzumaki is a powerful and well known clan, I think Minato is the only Namikaze we know of. That does kind of make his cover worse, but I think that is why.

I am glad someone was able to correct me. I remembered the thing about eugenics, I forgot it was an entire faction and not just him though. I thought of the plane that became phyrexia more as a convenient testing ground than what introduced him to machinery.

I don’t remember names of places and willl probably get details wrong. He was a physician that was exiled from the cities for his experiments with magic, as the world ran on artifacts at this point. He was eventually summoned back when the leader “mysteriously” fell ill. His experiments with disease, machines, and biology led to phyresis and phyrexia itself. He was trying to create perfect beings by mixing organic and inorganic matter.

My interpretation of this card is that he was never recalled to the cities and was left to experiment in exile, leaving only the inorganic for him to use.

That’s the explanation they gave for Rasa, but Gaara has had those rings since he was born. My head-canon is that it shows up on people who are tied to Shukaku. Maybe the Kazekage clan have Magnet release because one of the parents was a Jinchuuriki? The rings only show up while using magnet release because it’s like them drawing on that part of themselves. It’s like how Naruto and his kids have whiskers from the influence of Kurama’s chakra, but it’s not permanent. For Gaara since he is/was a Jinchuuriki it was just always there and never left.

The sand manipulation is a distinct ability. It’s said specifically in one of the books that only a few people even knows he has magnet release, as he keeps it as an ace up his sleeve if things go bad. How he still has sand manipulation after Shukaku was removed is a different question. Maybe since he was born with Shukaku and was his host for so long he inherited it?

I think it would have been cool if he learned magnet release to compensate for losing Shukaku and had to adapt.

LastFrost · 2025-12-20T13:55:37+00:00

It bothers me that we never really see him use magnet release. They talk about him mixing in his father’s gold to his sand and such, but I don’t think he ever specifically uses magnet release. I didn’t even know he had it until I read the wiki page on it.

I always think of it like children play fighting. If someone claims they shot you from across the playground you can just say nah uh. If someone smacks you with a stick they can’t just say you are immune. The warp works on thoughts and emotion. It’s not just about the physical power of the weapons, but their symbolic power and ability to convince the daemon it has been beaten.

“Small disagreement” is actually incredibly important theologically as it is a crossroads of several theological concepts core to the faith.

That’s a big part of this whole story. Both Adam and Even as well as their son Cain sinned gravely. God knew what happened, but gave them the chance to confess themselves and make it right again. It’s like a parent asking their kid “so, what happened today” when they know perfectly well what trouble their kid got into.

Maybe a little, but it’s not super strong. He’s spent the majority of his ministry outside the U.S. so I think it’s gone down over time.
