  1. magic (that vid was so fun. I didn't remember then starring in it)
  2. SC has survivor bias. The people who can put with the constant snarkiness and sniping are those who like engaging in snarkiness and sniping. (like any good rule there are exceptions, Wendy and Joe are largely snark free)
  3. Degree (the joke we told ourselves back in the day, that some women were only attending college to find a husband. "They got married. He got a BS degree; she got a Mrs degree")
  4. I just read an article in the NY Times about the research indicating alcohol is carcinogenic. Apparently there is an enzyme produced as part of the processing of alcohol that depending on your genetic makeup can sit around in the body for a while or be rapidly consumed. The "sit around" people are more likely to get cancer IIRC. The article didn't go into a lot of detail on the important "HOW MUCH more likely are they to get cancer". One way to express an answer to that question is the common "how much will changing my ways change my expected lifespan"? I drink 3-4 beers a week. If I reduced that to one, would I gain 1 week in expected lifespan? 1 month? 1 year? I dunno. I don't see a reason to change my life based on any of those values, but having some data would be nice.
  5. Street (I watched the Golden Globes last night. I am 99% the pianist was playing this at one point)
  6. I wondered that too, the poster has a short post history but it goes back 6 years, one alludes to being in the military, which makes sense, as military planes are the only ones I know that can pressurize and still have doors that can be used to skydive from. Not sure what prompted the question, as you would think ops for military would have standardized a long time ago on procedures, but maybe there are some new ideas for pressurizing on flights that are being debated.
