The scene in The Incredibles where Helen is flying the plane uses accurate pilot slang as she communicates with the tower.

Termination of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage. By M. Odeh, MD; H. Bassan; and A. Oliven. Published February 1990 in the Journal of Internal Medicine.

Abstract. A 60-year-old man with acute pancreatitis developed persistent hiccups after insertion of a nasogastric tube. Removal of the latter did not terminate the hiccups which had also been treated with different drugs, and several manoeuvres were attempted, but with no success. Digital rectal massage was then performed resulting in abrupt cessation of the hiccups. Recurrence of the hiccups occurred several hours later, and again, they were terminated immediately with digital rectal massage. No other recurrences were observed. This is the second reported case associating cessation of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage. We suggest that this manoeuvre should be considered in cases of intractable hiccups before proceeding with pharmacological agents.

My lab doesn't have a retro encabulator for that yet, unfortunately. 😮‍💨

It's crazy how much Adam has grown since he left BuzzFeed.

I knew who this was going to be before I even clicked, and I highly suggest you ignore her. She speaks well outside of fields she has any knowledge about (she's a physicist but routinely extrapolates that to other fields in ways that aren't substantiated) and is constantly spreading FUD about academia because it drives clicks. She essentially hyper-amplifies real problems present in academia in a way that basically tells the public not to trust science.

Hot take: this behavior should get you blacklisted from contributing to any peer-reviewed journal for life. That's repugnant.

I feel like the kleptofascist Washington Post – if it is used as a source – should be linked to archive.today as a default rather than a non-default option.

>Not a country

>Donald Trump has repeatedly spoken badly about and deliberately mistreated Puerto Rico

>Donald Trump also routinely speaks extremely badly about the country Puerto Rico is in

I'm glad he's changed his mind at the literal last minute, but it baffles me every day how ignorant people can be.

Petition to restart !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world, by the way.

Not only that:

According to witnesses, Bossio said, the 17-year-old was walking away from a separate altercation with a male Harris supporter when he struck Tomasko and knocked her to the ground.

He did it because he was pissed at a male supporter but was too big of a wuss to throw hands with someone who could plausibly fight back, so to solve that, he sucker-punched an old lady. They're not just abusive garbage, they're pathetic cowards.

Breaking news: people with an actual commitment to environmentalism recognize Jill Stein for the obvious Russian shill and extreme threat to environmentalism she is. More at 11.

OP, The Sun is one of the trashiest rags on the face of this Earth. Your best option regardless of their ad practices was always to stay well away from them.

California gets 54 electoral votes; Wyoming gets 3.

California has 38.94 million citizens; Wyoming has 0.575 million.

California gets one electoral vote for every 721,110 people. Wyoming gets one for every 191,660. This means that per capita, Wyoming gets 3.76 times as much say in who gets to be the president as California.

The dad is correct here; AdBlock Plus is corporatized, and uBlock Origin is the better option hands-down in every capacity.
