2022 LC Thread—New Year, New Thread

I really want to know how you accidentally shoot someone through the heart with an arrow.

Try to shoot an apple off their heads?

If alcohol is involved at all, then this is not surprising at all. Unfortunately there wasn’t a Good Guy With A Gun there to mow down the dangerous (Urban?) guy with the bow and arrow.

There’s a huge spat between the aviation and telecoms industries (and the DOT and FCC, as their advocates) over the beginning of real 5G service in the US on Wednesday.

There are plenty of articles on the subject that give passing detail, but if you want to deep dive into some av-nerd analysis of the situation, check out this thread. It’s a way more interesting and nuanced issue than I was aware of.

There are still good people in the world

obviously cool but even more cool is that melanoma went from damn near everyone dying once it spread beyond the skin to damn near everyone surviving. Jimmy Carter had brain mets in 2015 at 90-something and is still alive. Never used to happen.

Some fancy drugs that messed with your immune system worked really well. My dad was in the phase 3 trial for one of them.

That’s because it’s not true. Unless the definition of “damn near everyone surviving” is ridiculously liberal.

Very interesting, thanks for posting. Can’t believe it took that thread 50 posts before somebody made a vaccine joke, those guys are no fun!

In Soviet Russia, corporation regulate you!

That expression was barely common in 1950s tv.

Wow, did we all just collectively miss the death of Desmond Tutu? I just heard about it today.

It got covered in the media of course but a lot of people seem to be getting out while the getting is good and I guess there’s just so much attention available.

It was front page news everywhere as far as I could tell.

I mean, I searched and didn’t see anyone comment on it here.

There’s not a lot for us to say about it. UP probably isn’t a great substitute for a daily newspaper.

I asked for a toaster over for Christmas and I ended up getting a fancy one that also has air fryer capabilities. Anyone have good guidance/recommendations for cooking with an air fryer?

I was just shaking my fist at the clouds that Betty White’s death got more tv coverage than Tutu and Sondheim combined. ok, i learned she had won more emmys than i realized, but still.
