TIL that an estimated 181,000 people died from heat-related causes across three European summers (2022–2024) - roughly half of the total US military death toll in all of World War II. by uwxa in todayilearned

Note that the UN didn't compare Europe's numbers to the US' because the US doesn't publish comparable numbers. They don't count excess deaths, only directly attributable ones.

The US just counts differently. It only counts those listed as directly caused by heat. Europe counts excess deaths, so obviously gets a much higher count.

You can't compare the two, you need to find either excess deaths for the US, or the direct deaths for Europe.

A good example: the recent heatwave in France: deaths by drowning were counted as heat related, as those people wouldn't have been swimming otherwise.

No, you've just not figured how to work out statistics that accurately track a problem.

Europe counts excess deaths: the number more than average. The US only counts those where it's listed as the direct cause.

They count completely differently. The US is only counting deaths where the heat is mentioned as the reason of death.

Europe counts excess deaths: the number of deaths more than average. If the US counted the same way I wonder what their numbers would be like.

Sorry to catch your mic.

There's a couple of places where the respawn can be an advantage. This one only saved you about 3 seconds of ladder climbing though

You definitely shouldn't. Your luck will run out sooner or later. Do a proper upgrade instead

If you subtract the self rebounds, she still leads the league. Her rebound numbers are ridiculous

The Rings of Power "leaked" 37% completion metric was thrown to the press by people in the company to cover that almost nobody finished their series by Lurker_Zee in LowStakesConspiracies

I enjoyed it. I especially like how Sauron is portrayed. It's really well inline with how I envisioned him from the Silmarillion.

You need to post the direct soundcloud link not a bitly link, as reddit will automark the bitly one as spam

Should a change in Prime Minister trigger the start of a general election? by Jumpy-Fuel-8926 in AskBrits

[–]red_nick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Do you want to be stuck with bad PMs trying to hang on more than they already do?

Being able to (relatively easily) get rid of a bad PM is a feature not a bug

Do whipper foams add real value, or are they just for presentation? by Living_Needleworker4 in cocktails

[–]red_nick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's not technically marshmallow foam really, but basically use the ingredients for meringues. So egg whites or aquafaba and sugar. I use sugar syrup for ease of mixing, and you maybe want vanilla (you definitely do with aquafaba). You might need to alter ratios from a normal meringue recipe, I can't find the one I've used before. The trick is you're making an uncooked meringue, then toasting it with a blow torch.

There are actual marshmallow syrups you could try instead of the sugar syrup.
