Most pro athletes are playing through minor injuries. Some play through major injuries. There is a bigger focus on concussions now that might result in players getting pulled out, in pro leagues now though.

For younger kids, it's highly unlikely they actually have a serious injury. Many complain about minor bumps and bruises. There should still be care for head injuries specifically, but it's pretty rare for kids to get a major injury that's not readily apparent.

Iirc sleep is better than paralysis for catching pokemon.

Honestly I just cheat now, I haven't played a modern Pokemon game in generations, I'm not interested in wasting time on intentionally low random results as "difficulty."

It does seem like there's an inverse correlation of general intelligence/common sense and specialized study.

This is clearly wrong. It only takes 36 days, since the boy and girl nut alternate their maturity cycles.

You missed what they meant. It means gpt5 is really good at one arbitrary and extremely specific topic. Anything else it's comparable with a random person on the street.

Iirc it's the main ingredients in a draino bomb.

If you have a mild clog it's probably worth trying it according to the directions. If it's severe, just call a plumber. If you don't have a clog, then just keep it under a sink or something.

If you are feeling adventurous, get some aluminum foil.

A reactor isn't a catalytic converter. They might get some coolant that's mildly radioactive. The core would probably kill them if they ever managed to open it. There's not a button to just open it, it's only designed to be opened with heavy equipment in drydock.

Dirty bombs are more of a boogie man than a real thing. High grade materials are dangerous to be around without shielding and can fairly easily be tracked. It's just as likely to kill the makers before they can get a bomb together than be used. Lower grade materials require more to be dangerous, which means less spread with the same explosive, and the bomb has to be pretty big. It's easier to get a backpack full of explosives into somewhere than a van full of radioactive material, and the backpack will have a bigger radius.

I think it's content dependent. I lean towards not having them, but I can think of a couple episodes of the magicians where I would have appreciated the warning instead of the after the fact help line screen. It's also true that adding a warning lessens the impact of the scene being warned about which I think is also counterproductive.

I think we need more granular ratings than we currently have. Kickass and I Spit on Your Grave having the same R rating is essentially meaningless.

Reactors aren't bombs, they don't just go boom. One of them sinking is far less dangerous than thousands of gallons of fuel in existing tankers. The economics are terribly different than electric cars, it makes no sense to replace a ship with 20 year of life left, but it's worth considering for a new ship.

There is still the anything nuclear is the boogie man problem.

For profit companies already run reactors. Putting them on a boat is well understood. Nuclear subs are more about the sub part and military tech than the nuclear part.

Cargo ships could be replaced with nuclear. It would also be a significant gain as they are a significant source of pollution beyond CO2.
