Prayers are for those doing the praying.

Kudos to them for thanking the actual people who did the hard work of saving his life rather than some supreme being. Prayers are fine, but first responders and trained medical personnel are so much more useful.

Say, Timmy, have you ever slammed into the ground in a 600 mph uncontrolled powered descent?

Why would you conflate plentiful with cheap? It's not like we'll all have a Mr. Fusion.
The production and distribution of power will still be a controlled and finite resource.

Reply to TIL Frank Sinatra was convinced that Johnny Fontane, a singer with mob associations, in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather was based on his life leading Sinatra to shout abuse and threaten physical violence when he met Puzo at a restaurant. by trifletruffles
What a perfectly Sicilian response to a perceived slight. Way to prove him wrong, Frankie.

Reply to comment by SaturnFive in ELI5 How can you look at Earth from another point in the universe and see a past version of itself? by SPLIFF_BAYLESS
Not disagreeing, just clarifying. You could look arbitrarily into the earth's past from our reference frame on the planet by viewing it from any distance as long as you did not travel from the earth to get there. When I saw the word travel, that is what I was referring to. If you left from the surface, you could never see anything that happened before you left, no matter how far nor how fast you traveled. That was my point. Which, in retrospect, was not the point you were making.

I don't think this is accurate. To see the light from the past, you'd have to travel faster than light to get ahead of the current wave front. No traveler starting on the Earth's surface could ever see it at any time previous to the date they left unless I'm very much mistaken.

Mirren is my go-to example of someone who got more attractive the older she became.

The other half can play too, it's just a bit like playing a FPS with a console controller.

Reply to comment by Hike_it_Out52 in Natural Selection Driven by the Black Death Linked to Modern-Day Autoimmune Disease: Analysis of DNA from over 200 remains shows that the Black Death selected for immune gene variants that are also risk factors for autoimmune conditions like Crohn's disease. by rjmsci
Genes that may have helped you survive the bubonic plague centuries ago became more common in the genome because of that protective benefit. Today, those same genes may be partly responsible for a hyperactive immune system that causes auto-immune diseases like Chron's.
