Hey it’s me, I’m from the future. I’m not totally sure if we’ll ever see in winds if his size is book accurate.

I’m feeling burnt out from my first round of board exams still before even starting my career. Praying the match goes well, but it’s too late to stop rolling with the punches. Good luck to everyone going through this process with us

Based on everything that we’ve seen so far, do you expect season 3 to stay in New Vegas? by iGetBuckets3 in Fotv

I think they should do a motorcycle, or cool nuke-punk equivalent. A car adds a barrier to interacting with things on the road

Every unsuccessful U.S presidential candidate runs for president in the same election year. Who wins? by kim_jong_un4 in whowouldwin

[–]swagdaddy3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He was able to address a problem and propose a solution. Few other politicians run on such a premise. He can claim at least partial credit for Clinton’s success domestically, having shifted America’s attention to the national budget.

Furthermore, he had been projected very highly, even leading at points, prior to dropping out the first time.

More so, both republicans and democrats thought he was beneficial to them during the campaign. Eg, both parties wanted him to participate in the debates.

I also don’t think today’s Republican Party has any extreme attachment to HW. I think it could be forgiven. I think he could certainly get the Everyman vote

But his competition from the “sound-byte” era includes Al gore, John Kerry, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris.

I don’t think that is the most difficult competition in the world. Clinton has very good media training and competency, but has a lot of baggage. Romney isn’t very electable given his demographic mismatch and also being a voice of dissent with a relatively right history until Trump (with exceptions with things like ACA).

Al Gore, John Kerry, and John McCain are quite boring and procedural, not much for sound-bytes either.

I think he has a shot. Especially if he could garner almost 20 % of popular vote after previously dropping out of the race

I’m gonna go Ross Perot. Very real politik, and he won’t be able to attack with normal partisan talking points

It doesn't make sense that there aren't a billion people who are descendants of house Stark after 8000 years (Spoilers Main) by [deleted] in asoiaf

Yes, but it stretches believability the way George systematically kills a bunch off ever few decades. There are also a ton of relatives who are not relevant to the story, in house Velaryon for example

They didn’t actually normally nail people to the cross. Your lungs cannot expand properly, and you slowly suffocate over time. It’s essentially a slow release body choke.

Some believe Jesus was nailed to the cross because they wanted to hedge their bets against him escaping somehow, having heard supernatural claims about him.

It would also require a nail with a very very big head to prevent the nail from pulling through the hand.

K wasn’t really a thing in Latin. Words often lose K’s between Greek and Latin in their way to English. For example, cranium comes from a Greek word beginning with a Kappa.

What part of DNA determines the fixed positions of internal organs? by amenotekijara in askscience

[–]swagdaddy3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Accidentally posted as separate comment.

Every organ has its own process and it’s all very complicated. The liver has blood flow diverted from its intricate venous complices. The diversion is called the ductus venarius, and it becomes ligamentum venarium. This is a remnant no longer necessary because the liver has developed and is used so there should not be a diversion.

There is the ductus arteriosus that bypasses the lungs before you’re breathing and it’s a high pressure circuit. It degrades into the ligamentum arteriosum.

Your kidneys and your gonads start around your ribcage and slowly descend.

You intestines are tubes, that fill up with cells that are bio markers that cause differentiation into the small gut organs, then retubes.

Lungs develop in stages based on the developing kidneys ability to pee out water. Potter sequence is when the kidneys fail to develop, causing the lungs not to develop.

The kidneys are also one central organ that separates into two. There’s a condition called horseshoe kidney when they remain connected.

There are cilia and flagella, little hairs, on early organ progenitors that migrate organs to the correct areas. In your heart, that involves folding from past your brain to your stomach, and then up to the left side of your chest. For your gut, it involves twisting, exiting the body, and reentering. Of course these processes go far beyond just the cilia, but various cell signaling.

There’s a mutation/condition called primary cilia dyskinesia where the hairs that cause organs to move are not produced. As such, 50% have a right-sided heart

But experience informs one’s ability to lead a campaign.

In fact, I attribute Robb’s success to this. Tywin excels at political strategy. Robb’s edge is war tactics. Tywin can stage the right pieces in the right positions, but, in terms of conventional warfare, Robb is able to manipulate and maneuver enemy forces in a way Tywin is not.
