I would think twice about 3D ultrasound. The increased harmonics used for the image are pretty intense and effect are unclear.

Because 3D ultra sound are expensive.

3D ultrasound is usually very clear and becoming more popular. check it out. majorly creepy.

(1/?) There is a study going on right now to see if US is potentially harmful for fetuses, since you're heating up very sensitive tissue.
MikisugiAikuro
(2/?) As a radiotechnician student, I can assure you that diagnostic US is really helpful, but these 3D-scans have no clinical relevance.
MikisugiAikuro
(3/?) Basically, it's a good to be cautiousness. People performing 3D-US scans generally aren't schooled medical personnel anyway.

Why is nobody talking about the fact that there is someone whos unlucky enough to have a parachute fail, fall on a fire ant hill, and LIVE??
thor0486
but according to the post it was LUCKY they fell on the fire ants, it kept their heart going. Which honestly sounds like total BS
thor0486
Pretty sure you'd have ALL the adrenaline possible once you realize your chute isn't opening. Fire ants unnecessary.
BorisGaykovich
1. she was under reserve parachute, but not fully functional. So not 50 meter/second impact, but about 15 (enough to kill too). She went 2)
BorisGaykovich
2. to coma and her right side bones were shattered. Not sure if ants played some role in this. Humans could be hard to kill.
Repiglican
Because it didn't actually happen
srslydude
Pretty sure it did. There's doumentation and stuff
BorisGaykovich
it did. More to say, there are tens of cases od survical like this (without the ants of course)
imgurianscientist
Yes, It did.
Repiglican
It might have, but if she was falling from 14,500 feet, which is what another article about her says, she would have reached terminal 1/2
Repiglican
Velocity (118mph~) long before she hit the ground at "80" miles per hour. She also should have had a backup chute, which is not mentioned2/3

I think it meant no one knows who decided the name for our planet would be the same as the name for soil.

In the middle ages writers often referred to earth as middle earth (as it is in the middle between heaven and hell) and as heaven was 1/

Oh yeah. Looking at maps pre 1400s or so is just asking for a headache. But they knew of giant oceans, likely covering most of the world.

By that point they already had been referring to the planet as the soil for centuries, and I doubt anyone was pedantic enough to change it.
