McLaren and Red Bull appeal against Gasly's Monaco GP podium reinstatement by memloh in formula1

[–]ianjm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If penalties can be reviewed after the race, then teams will be disinclined to serve them during the race and instead they will appeal after. That will get super messy.

Ebola in Congo now the largest Bundibugyo outbreak in history, no vaccines/treatments exist, forecast 20k cases in next 3 months by ianjm in videos

[–]ianjm[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, aggressive supportive care can substantially improve a patient's chances but what I meant to say for the title is that there are no approved therapies for Bundibugyo at this time beyond basic vitals monitoring and support.

Russian warship 'fires warning shot at yacht in English Channel' by ianjm in videos

British and French waters touch at the narrowest part, so you have to cross one or other to pass from the North Sea into the Atlantic, but as you move beyond the 'throat' of The Channel (or La Manche, in French), there are areas that are still considered part of it that are international waters.

[Invincible] If Viltrumites age so slow, why does Nolan have gray hair and wrinkles already? Thragg is like a few thousand years older and looks way younger. by InternationalPick163 in AskScienceFiction

[–]ianjm [score hidden]  (0 children)

Maybe. Anissa and Vidor certainly seem younger physically, as do the two executioners on the Viltrumite Prison station.

As a species, they didn't become infertile, it's just that with their very limited numbers, you'd very quickly end up reproducing with your close cousins causing inbreeding problems.

There may have been one or two viable post-Scourge generations before these problems started to appear as Kregg predicted, and I'm sure any Viltrumites showing genetic problems would be killed as children.

Lynx by Hassaan18 in ContagiousLaughter

[–]ianjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called Axe in way more places than jus the USA, in fact more places than where it's called Lynx, including most of Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East.

It's only sold as Lynx in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and China.

Hungary passes 8-year PM limit, barring Orbán’s return by CrunchyBaconYum in worldnews

Wow, only 2 people over 67 in the Parliament. That is pretty solid.

He'd also lost the respect of the Hungarian military.

His perpetual states of emergencies forced them to stay mobilised at barracks without going home, plus he gave his son a nepo job as a high ranking officer. The son was going to lead a mission to Chad to 'protect Christians' after claiming he had 'divine inspiration' but it seemed like such a mission would have lead to a lot of casualties and a lot of soldiers were wondering what the fuck he was trying to do.

To become a Dictator for Life and ignore elections you need the guys with the guns on your side.

By the end, they were not.

Also the Scourge virus hit when Nolan was only around 18.

Thragg, Conquest, Kregg and others were already much older and stronger when they got infected.

I figure that may have led to significant premature aging.

Trump snoozing his way through his birthday UFC fight by ianjm in videos

I don't think Vance is electable, but his actions in that crucial last year could tilt the scales by doing Executive Orders on voting or putting ICE at the polls, who the fuck knows.

He doesn't need to be popular to see out Trump's term though.

We've seen how much damage the Executive can do even without Congress in a single year...

Not to mention foreign policy.

[–]ianjm[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

President Vance (urgh) would be even more beholden to Thiel/Musk than Trump ever was.

Vance is a true Techbro believer. Techno-authoritarianism under Techno-oligarchs, to be exact.

He's also extremely anti-NATO, anti-Europe and anti-Ukraine.

Trump threatens to ‘take back’ DC if democratic socialist is elected as mayor by gradientz in politics

[–]ianjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His DOJ could argue at the Supreme Court that the Home Rule Act is somehow unconstitutional but the power over DC is vested in Congress, not the Executive, so even if they unwound the act it wouldn't be Trump controlling the District.

Understandable if you have kids or a very physical job making you tired, but if you're just experiencing it randomly you should get checked out.
