Reply to eli5 Why does it seem that there are barely any serial killers anymore, when there were so many just a few decades ago? by [deleted]
Trends come and go. Right now the hot thing is shooting school children and we get like one of those a week.

Reply to Can you extract a fully concentrated liquid out of an ice cube (like Coca Cola) until there's almost no water left? by Froggiebuns
One of the first really hard alcohols was “applejack” which is hard cider where you let it freeze outside in the cold then remove the ice over and over until it’s much much higher percent alcohol than you would be able to brew before real distilling was invented

Reply to comment by atred in (Virology) Has SARS-CoV-2 outcompeted all the other coronaviruses which have been called the ‘common cold’? by jsgui
It’s not highly mutable. The fact we give the strains names shows how few there are. Some viruses every single one of the millions of copies a single cell makes will have major mutations. Like we talk about flu viruses by what proteins they have in a mad libs format because every virus is so different than it’s parent that species don’t even make sense.

Negative 40 wind chill is pretty out of the range of normal Maine cold

Reply to TIL, canines have a more sensitive CFF of up to 80Hz or 80 flickers per second. "This might explain why most dogs cannot be planted in front of the television to engage them, it doesn't look real." by chandu6234
Eh, this might be true on a crt tv where you’d see flickering or rolling, but modern tvs are always on with no blanking and just show the same image it was showing during refresh

Reply to Did ancient Greeks think that observation prevented observation of the paranormal / paradoxa? by Zestyclose-Advisor71
Neither example there sounds like belief in some sort of fantasy anti magic cone coming out of people. They both seem like mundane doubt: “hey, my neighbor said he saw King Charles come out of the woods and steal my pies, but no one else saw that, so probably not”. Where it’s not even a disbelief of the existence of King Charles, but like, a skeptical view towards an outlandish story

It’s a nice city.
It does also have housing prices like a major city without any of the amenities a major city has.

Raise the PRICE not keep the price the same then confuse it with add on fees

You know that thing where a scared cat gets all puffed up to look big?
Imagine instead of cool cat hair you just had tiny little arm hairs. That’s a goosebump

Reply to Cynthia Rothrock was the best Martial Arts female movie star and yet she almost never gets any credit by Lili_Danube
She’s pretty much the only female martial arts star from that era that I can even name. She became pretty much infinitely more well known than anyone else from the time.
