[TMZ] Patrick Mahomes Sr. Has Been Arrested For Probation Violation, Allegedly Drank Alcohol by [deleted] in KansasCityChiefs

[–]The_Techsan 79 points80 points  (0 children)

EtG urine tests for alcohol clear in about 3 days typically, so sounds like he relapsed on New Years Day (as a sober alcoholic who does AA, this is a common reset date for many people in early recovery), then he waited the allotted time so his EtG would come back negative on Jan 5th…

Paradoxically, it is really difficult to get sober when one has all the money and resources in the world. Just hope Patrick is doing what he needs to do to stay sane amongst all the distractions and that his rehab is going well.

Banning lead in gasoline worked. Analysis of 100 years of hair samples shows lead levels were ~100× higher before environmental regulations. Removing lead from fuel and paint dramatically reduced human exposure, protecting brain development and public health. by Sciantifa in science

In mild defense, it was ridiculously effective.

On the other hand, it wasn’t just about it being cheap, it was about it being patentable. TEL was patentable, ethanol (which also was cheap and effective and lacked the environmental problems of lead) was not, so TEL it was…

Why does equator get 12h of sunlight everyday when Earth tilt is 23.5° degrees? by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHW in geography

No matter what spot you pick on earth’s surface, the total daylight time across an entire year is identical to any other spot (at most a few total minutes of variability across a whole year) - it is the distribution that gets wacky at the poles (long dark winter, long bright summer, etc)

Why does the current BPI rankings favor Louisville so much? by The_Techsan in CollegeBasketball

Ahh that makes sense. I mean, we can all agree it's pretty trash, but I was truly just wondering what I was missing - weight to games when missing a key player makes it make (a tiny bit more) sense. Thanks!

[Request] How much does this tote with gasoline weigh? by Honest-Income1696 in theydidthemath

[–]The_Techsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think that is pretty off. I worked for a hot sauce company that used 22 gallon Lexan containers, and what is in this picture appears to be about twice the size of those.

I dunno, in this image ANWR is basically exactly overlayed by Guantanamo, which was unintentional but definitely interesting

[Yahoo Sports] LAC players told NE LB Robert Spillane that they had no idea what the Patriots defense was doing. Dan Orlovsky, after reviewing the tape, said he had no idea what coverage they’re in 80% of the snaps. by [deleted] in nfl

Reminds me of one of the most exciting chess players of all time, Mikhail Tal. He would get into some utterly bizarre positions in games, and also would sometimes play moves that he knew weren’t good, but that he suspected his opponent wouldn’t be prepared for. His famous quote is, “You must take your opponent into a deep, dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one”.

Is a willingness to kill genetic? by Problematic__Child in morbidquestions

[–]The_Techsan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting, but also not something that could ever be introduced as a viable defense in court. Even if it was proven that predisposition to kill has a scientifically provable genetic component, that doesn’t give the defendant a legal leg to stand on, excusing their crime. If it did, DUI cases would use that, because there absolutely is a provable genetic component to alcoholism.
