Reply to comment by xap31 in TIL Stan Lee made the X-Men mutants because he didn't want to come up with a reason for their super powers, instead they were just born with them. Additionally the 1963 comic was initially a flop until the 1975 reboot by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. by jamescookenotthatone

Idk why people are downvoting this, the inspiration is obvious.

As is the idea being stripped of all meaningful societal commentary after a decent start in favor of just basic shounen action.

Dr. Erskine was a Jewish German scientist who fled Nazi Germany after being enslaved in their research program, a fairly common occurrence at the time for highly educated Jewish people.

Reply to comment by Strange-Ad1209 in Researchers have found that lab mice are more likely to survive a flu infection if they are fed grain-based foods rather than processed food: after being infected with influenza, all of those fed the highly processed diet died, all the other have recovered by giuliomagnifico

I'm just mad that someone out there coined the term "organic food" and people accept it without much question.

I should damn well hope your food is organic.

Reply to comment by Grimour in TIL about Deaf lifeguard Leroy Colombo, who overcame childhood paralysis through swimming and saved a record-breaking 900+ lives during his career. His swimming talent and use of sight rather than sound to identify drowning swimmers allowed him to save people other lifeguards would have missed. by lemontreelemur

Yes, notorious Chinese industrial fishers and their kayaks.

Nothing telling about you immediately jumping to this point from "Asian businessman" at all.

Reply to comment by PoopMobile9000 in TIL In 1983, Air Force One (with Reagan aboard) landed six minutes before a microburst slammed into the ground at Andrews Air Force Base, causing wind speeds to hit 149 mph. At the time, that was the fastest wind speed ever measured by an anemometer. by theotherbogart

Yes, it took five years of negotiating. Doubtless wasn't helped by the change of administration, but it was, at the end of day, basically trading one neoliberal for another.

They're talking about Daddy Bush, who didn't do that. He was President when the UN stopped Saddam from doing that.

Hell, he specifically decided not to push into Iraq to take advantage because it'd be an endless quagmire of guerilla warfare.

His faults were financial and economic, in regards to deregulation and NAFTA, not naked imperialism.

If you'd read the article, you'd know this isn't about the algorithm, it's about what the departments themselves are sharing.

Literally within the first sentence.
