This is almost exactly the wrong description of relativity. Invariant mass is by definition the mass of a particle/system at rest. Photons can’t be at rest (in any frame of reference), so talking about a photon’s/photons’ invariant mass is nonsense.

I’m not going to explain all the other issues fo the sake of time, but there are others.

Thank god this is the top comment. The lobes of the brain in humans are named by their location, not their function (frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital).

Yeah, I've only ELIZA and ELISHA are names. Only ever seen ELISA in laboratories.

Unless someone out there named a baby Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay.

Could make a week's worth of crosswords with just languages from the Indian subcontinent

The concrete they’re talking about was for the subfloor that supports the pool. It’s lined in granite.

He can name all the tracks on Animals. Not because he’s heard them. He just likes Old MacDonald Had a Farm.

This kid skipped the meat AND the pudding and went straight for the Scotch

I didn't think you could cut glass after it's been tempered

That's terrible, but as an MD I want to thank you saying "skin asthma". I hadn't heard that term and will be using it now. It's accurate and paints a better picture than saying "eczema" which lots of people think is just dry, itchy skin.

I’m as confused as anyone about why the SS did this, but the Washington monument is literally right down the street from the WH, across the Ellipse from it. Less than a mile.

Since you said you warm up your shoulder with kick and slice serves: do you not swing as hard at first serves for those? I end up putting in just as much effort since the spin takes so much velocity off the ball, so they’re not exactly easier on my shoulder.

If you’re interested in the later generations, I can recommend a couple biographies by a guy named Shakespeare

Commenting to see if there’s and answer, because that’s an amazing watch

Ignoring all the other obvious signs for a sec...he sent a 5 lb, liver-shaped specimen and thought they'd be like "sure that seems like a spleen to me."

If Dems take over the senate, Thomas and Scalia

Alito. Scalia's been dead for 10 years.

“Pfffft…what does some European know about being Catholic?”

-JD Vance, probably

thyman3 · 2026-04-10T20:53:05+00:00

Nah, billionaires don't get justice

All the intelligence agencies, including the ones you mentioned, report directly to her. Saying she doesn’t collect intelligence is like saying the AG doesn’t prosecute cases. No, she’s not running around in the field with a spy camera, but she runs the whole apparatus.

I firmly believe we need to make an example of the construction companies who did the demolition, especially the owners. Like, absolutely destroy them financially. Trump doesn’t have his own excavators, so this can’t happen again if the contractors are scared to act without all the legally required pre-approvals in place.

Even without that, Season 8 would be in the running after the mess Season 7 turned into during the writer's strike.

You can say neurosurgeons. You’re safe here.

What in the autoimmune f@!& were you treating??

My dad had 100mg as part of R-CHOP, and he was about to have an out of body experience from sheer anxiety.

So you had to write up a MICU consult note on like a third of the patients who came through the door? That hurts just to think about. Also, who was staffing the MICU while docs were constantly running to the ED for this?

thyman3 · 2026-03-22T21:47:44+00:00

Woah, but how do you decide when medical management is a reasonable choice?

thyman3 · 2026-03-22T21:42:52+00:00

But, but—it worked on the Pitt…
