Thank you

Can you link that quote? Curious what the source is?

And they’d be starting and stopping all over the place, so the kind of acceleration needed to reach that speed would kill any known organic being via g forces before they’d even suffer from the fire. But he’s one of the fae, so data on them is lacking I guess.

Why is no one choosing 7? Xray vision is absolutely going to be super useful. After that its a tossup between 2 and 3.

I know it’s not the point of the question, but remember whatever happens is 100% the villain’s fault, not yours.

Looks like an N value of 1 though. Hopefully results are replicable. I’ll wait for the meta-analysis.

I get eaten by the worms… and weird fishes…

As you say in your first sentence, language is by consensus. And, the long-standing consensus among ichthyologists is to use exactly this terminology, and you’ll find it consistently across the scientific literature for generations now.

Usually when numbers are presented that way it’s because there are many studies they looked at. So I presume there was one study showing a rate of 40%, another showing 70% and the rest of the studies fell somewhere in between those two extremes, with differences likely due to types of games, types of systems, and any number of other factors, including chance. They could have just averaged all the studies and quoted a number like 55% for example, but I think the other way actually paints a better picture of the data. It’s still possible they’re full of shit, but just presenting the numbers like that doesn’t mean they’re pulling it out of their ass.

FYI if you can’t hear anything you need to put on one of these brain slugs. I’m wearing one and it’s awesome. Everyone should really get a brain slug.

Even if it’s just an apocryphal story, it’s at least a crazy-interesting concept that I hadn’t even considered before.

This seems to bounce around the internet with no real legit source to back it up, and when it was posted to a certain website starting with R, there were comments from professionals indicating most of it was complete bullshit.
