Mercury alone is safe enough to handle a bit where you would be mostly worried about breathing too much of its vapor. Organic compounds of mercury on the other hand can kill you within days of a drop touching your skin.

The uniform that both men and women wear in the movie are cut to show off the amazing fisique of the female lead but the cut is totally working on the male lead also.

What it really meant when people talk about living fossils etc is that the morphology of the creature has changed very little. Genetically and on a cellular level there would definitely be a lot of changes from their earlier forms millions of years ago. DNA just doesn’t stick around for more than a couple hundred thousand years maximum it seems so it’s difficult for us to chart those changes that aren’t visible in morphology. Creatures that seem to not change drastically in such long scale time usually have niches and environments that haven’t changed drastically in their existence.

I used to be really confused by the “fake it 'till you make it crowd” but in the recent years I realized how far it can take you when people just think that you are rich. I really can’t wait until this planet sluffs us off like fleas and something better comes along in a million years.

I’ve never met a prompt and reliable drug dealer.

I wonder what portion of that is steam decks.

I’m convinced that these conspiracies are spawned from racism towards non white civilizations. It’s easier for them to believe an imagined space God came there and built something rather than the indigenous people. There is also probably some need to believe that we are always at the peak of human progress in all things but in reality the story is more complicated.

I guess it shouldn’t be surprising to me that almost everyone here is picking the lotto ticket with how popular gambling is. I’m just disappointed in y’all.

Doom had multiplayer over lan that I would say fits in that definition. For me personally arena shooters are more about movement speed and how weapons/health are managed as power ups to be found and managed as a recourses. I don’t consider multiplayer to be a requirement for the genre basically.

I always preferred the term “Arena Shooter” but it may have more specific meaning than any game that vaguely has elements popular in fps games of the 90s that I think “Boomer Shooter” is usually trying to communicate.

Every science news article these days. “Strange ‘Banana Hammock’ star discovered!”

Actually yes. The most distinct thing that I remember was the intense sinus pain. Like a burning pain.

I caught it in my 30s and it was two weeks of misery. I had never been that sick with a respiratory virus in my life. It’s easy to see it being dangerous for the very young and old.
