This is not a case of scientists learning something stupidly obvious. It IS a stupid article that buries the relevant info. But the take-away is that the study revises the deadliness of temperatures downwards—we can expect people to die at lower temps than the wet-bulb benchmark.

The take-away is that higher temperatures with low humidity are more deadly than previously thought, so that you can have deadly heat below the wet bulb threshold.

Nothing in these guidelines about actual pain relief or sedation. Same bullshit, unless the article is mischaracterizing things.

Probably not pure mercury but one of the extremely nasty mercury compounds that is easily absorbed through the skin. The victim was very sick.

I feel we could get a much better bang/buck ratio by shooting him down to Venus along with a sensor package. Far less expensive, and the live broadcast of his horrific demise would probably go some way to defraying costs as well.

“Basic” in The Expanse is not UBI. It’s means-tested.
I like shaved or at least trimmed, and have seen cocks and pussies I would even call beautiful. Some turn me on, and some don’t. One of those matters of taste, I’m sure.
You’re going to find the only constant in sexuality is variation. I’m sure there are people who are fully sexual who just aren’t into junk per se, and asexuals who want nothing to do with it but still have aesthetic feelings about them, just not sexual ones.
Unfortunately, porn does tend to have a narrower focus because mostly they are trying to make money.
Apologize and leave. That thing violates the Geneva Convention

This isn’t “backfiring”. This is Boebert losing a Twitter fight, which is funny, but backfiring is when your actions have actual negative consequences for you. Her base doesn’t care.

“We fired everyone at our company that made the game a success and won’t be going with the studio that shot new life into the entire brand, but the next one will be great!”
Sure, assholes.
What a transparent crock of shit.
