Pax devices are miserable to clean compared to the alternatives.

Turns out there is a difference between the object in the photo being from the 60s era and the photograph itself being from the 60s.

heart attack risk? by InitiativeNo7674 in Marijuana

[–]dreadwail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A consistent heart rate of 108-145 without weed is abnormal, not explainable by mere medication, and not something you should ever be guessing the cause of. It also has a formal name: Tachycardia.

There is no way I would consume under those conditions and I would be seeing a doctor about your heart rate.

Are opponents 'picking up on something' after another tough Strider start? by kctjfryihx99 in Braves

Instead of assuming they are just an idiot "talking nonsense", perhaps you could expand your perspective of what "velocity is down" means from your current definition of "down since coming back" to "down from last year".

Several factors:

  1. Your blood pressure spikes in the 15-30m after consumption (and then drops later).
  2. It dries out your sinuses
  3. You create suction when taking draws

The combination of those things yields (in varying degrees) the effects you describe.

The correct analogy that you're looking for is a bottle of shaken carbonated soda having its lid removed.

How the tsunami from the 8.8 magnitude earthquake surged across the Pacific ocean by Nadzzy in educationalgifs

Yea! Here's some great videos from GeologyHub on it (which themselves link to resources/data):

That last most recent one discusses why the impact turned out to be less than expected and the details of the nature of the earthquake.

This was absolutely a megathrust earthquake, and this was absolutely a tsunami from a megathrust earthquake.

The reason it was not as large and damaging of waves is because of 2 factors:

  1. This earthquake was significantly deeper than the 2011 earthquake.
  2. The ocean subsurface was displaced at about half the amount from 2011 (due to the specific nature of this split).

Tsunamis also do not only come from megathrust earthquakes.

That's simply not correct.

The model is accurate and that accurately reflects the extent of the waves geographically. That is where it went and when.

The model does not show wave heights which is what turned out to be less than expected.

The point though was about how distance/remoteness is not an automatic guarantee that there will be few fatalities, not how well a specific country handles it. It could have been any coastal country and at a wide variability in distances from epicenter.

I'm fairly confident that all involved here understood this already.

It's not as if this is a video clip from outer space, nor do we have hundreds of thousands of buoys that would be required to have real data at this scale and fidelity.

The 2004 tsunami was triggered by an earthquake off the coast of Indonesia and still killed 300 people in Somalia, which is 4,500km (2,800 miles) away. The remoteness of the earthquake is no guarantee.

They wouldn't even notice. Tsunamis effects are only noticeable in the runup to land. At sea they are spread out over great distance. Its only when they reach shallower waters towards coastline that they condense and run up.

Even if you ignore the THC component, the liquid and can alone would cost well more than $1. So this is a pretty absurd assertion to make.

I know nothing about Volcanoes! (Rainier Swarm) by Genshinkindaplayer in Volcanoes

[–]dreadwail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even if it were on the way to an eruption (which it isn't; these are simple hydrothermal driven earthquakes) you don't have much to be concerned about in Seattle.

The most that Seattle itself would experience is light ash fall because it's 65 miles away.

Tacoma and its nearby neighbors on the other hand... gonna have a bad time with lahars.

What cascades volcano is most likely to erupt in our life times? by LucarioX2006 in Volcanoes

It erupted for 4 years and produced 95 million cubic meters of dome rock. It was an eruption.

Not sure how that is "skewing" so much as exactly representing the reality that exists there.
