  • This was interesting. Most of these jobs are dangerous because they increase your exposure to car accidents it looks like.

    I had heard that most police officers deaths are from car accidents, but this says “violence by other people or animals”. Must be just their category name, not because animals are a significant danger. That category is shared with one other profession in the top 25 most dangerous, supervisor of mechanics at number 19. I guess bossing around people with a lot of potentially dangerous tools at hand goes bad fairly often.




  • That chart isn’t of “how low” the men in the study would go, it the age of the women ranked most attractive by the men in the study. Still isn’t great, agreed, but it is talking purely about physical attractiveness.

    Here is the chart from the same study about what age ranges the men in the study said they would find acceptable to date. By 28 years old, 20 is no longer within the field.

    Yeah, drug names and Pokémon names are running into the same problem. They can’t reuse them, and there are so many already.

    Actually, I suppose a name being used for a drug or a Pokémon precludes it from being used for the other, so it is a very shared issue, lol.

    Wonder how far they have to reserve names in advance to prevent overlap. A Nintendo vs GSK court case for a name would be less absurd than many news stories this year.







  • We we considering a samsung fridge among our options when we needed one a few months ago. Ended up going with a brand with higher reliability ratings (for reference, that’s most other brands, according to consumer reports anyway). But man, don’t I regret it now. I could have paid for the privilege of having ads playing in my kitchen at all times (at least until the fridge broke), what a missed opportunity.
