What’s the LD50 of a huge grain of salt. While the mouse example of 1000mg/kg is ridiculously high, the monkey trial used 250mg/kg. Assumption time: assume a 67kg human who consumes 3 cans of redbull a day (not especially unusual)

Maybe the juggler was juggling 5 balls, but they made a mistake with serendipitous consequences and then told everyone they juggled 5 balls, when they really don’t know how they were juggling 5 balls. In fact one of them might have been a d

Yeah I’m not sure about the “live dived” thing… “He lived as he died, short and ugly. Until he died he was alive” [Edit managed to cut off “Liv”]: Influenced by the modern Scandinavian word "liv" meaning "life."

Every time there is a natural disaster in the US its GDP rises. All that says is the UK is less prone to such events - extrapolating from that you will be safer, and “better off financially” in the UK, according to your own metrics

12 years for cross rail, considering it’s scope and unique problems tunneling through some of the most developed subterranean land in the world, isn’t a length of time that most of us would consider absurd. For instance check out the precis

My only difference to that is that the positrons and electrons went in opposite directions on the time axis from the initial big bang event. I love the idea of a single electron being the scan line of the universe (to make an analogy to CRT
