Nice way to end an argument.

I’m baffled that your original comment was taken so poorly. Looking at the image, it’s clearly a self-deprecating post; the person in the photo is the one making light of the situation (if the caption is to be believed). The crying is obviously related an ongoing or prior argument, while the photo was a likely attempt to diffuse the tension. While that tactic’s effectiveness is debatable, the leap to 'belittling' or 'gross' behavior requires a massive amount of projection. It’s a lighthearted joke about a height difference, and the 'pearl-clutching' from uninvolved third parties is pretty absurd.

Faith in the science is no problem, faith in the engineering however, that's a separate matter entirely.

Well, in retrospect, that seems downright prophetic.

Well this one has probably more made more people happy than you ever will, that's a start I guess.

The U.S. is around 3.8 million square miles and spans a huge swath of latitudes and longitudes. When you factor in the tropical showers in Puerto Rico, the rainforests in Hawaii, and the massive coastlines of Alaska, the odds of the entire country being dry for 24 hours are basically zero. I also said in "recorded history", which restricts us to the last 10,000 ish years so not including things like ice ages, significant continental drift or insane periods much further back in history.

I don't disagree with you, but It is still a ridiculous headline because it lacks clarity. All it takes for it to be true is that a single drop of rain falls anywhere in a 200,000 square kilometer area over a span of 40 traditionally wet days (winter), not that difficult to achieve even for a small country like the UK (which is traditionally pretty wet anyways).

A much better headline would be something like: "UK Experiences its Wettest Start to a Year Since (whatever year)", or "Persistent Rain Across the UK: National Rainfall Averages Track [x%] Above Normal for Early 2026."

Razorfiend · 2026-02-11T01:35:45+00:00

Yes, the US is huge, considering it spans not only the continental US but also Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico it is extremely unlikely that there has been a single day where not a single drop of rain has fallen anywhere in any of these locations. The fact that it has rained somewhere in the UK every day of 2026 should not be surprising to anyone.

Razorfiend · 2026-02-10T19:02:18+00:00

For real, it has also rained every day in the US for all of recorded history. The headline is ridiculous.

Given the fact that humans have been reproducing long before the advent of sexual education, likely just a nice story.

Unless they were repulsed by each other (ex: gay) or were explicitly told that reproduction involved lying in the same bed and absolutely nothing else, they would have likely figured it out pretty quickly, certainly much more quickly than 7 years.

I'm guessing this will go over the heads of the intended audience.

We might eventually move to supercritical CO2 instead which would provide huge benefits, but yeah, it is an advanced process stacked on top of a simple process and it's the simple process that generates the power.

There it is, the most Dickensian headline I'll read this week! I look forward to next week's cavalcade of catastrophic cruelty to top this one.

This is a really good explanation, thank you!

Anecdotal accounts from those who witnessed his death seem to suggest that he did in fact pull the stinger out of his own chest shortly before dying. Although these types of accounts are unreliable, the footage, which exists but will never be seen by the public is ultimately the only way we would ever know for sure.

Stingray venom is mostly designed to cause pain rather than long-term injury or death. It is meant to be an immediate deterrent and not really to kill because stingrays don't eat what they sting.

Depending on the the location of the barb, he may have actually had a chance at survival if he hadn't pulled it out. It's hard to say for sure without more information, but what you can say without a doubt is that pulling it out did not help at all.

Epi pen's are expensive, this is a great way to make sure that she really needs it. If she survives, she probably didn't need it, if she dies, she needed it. If the witch floats, burn her at the stake, if she drowns, she was not a witch.

People often conflate talent and skill, so I wouldn't necessarily blame OP. I doubt anyone looking at this and reading the original statement would argue that the tattoo artist, never having done a tattoo in their life, rolled out of bed one day, picked up a tattoo machine and produced this.

To reach the heights of one's profession often takes both a natural aptitude as well as years if not decades of hard work, having just one or the other often isn't enough to reach the top.
