#13 a comet can have three tails.
The normal dust tail we all typically see as a com's tail.
A thinner glowing bluish ion tail (ionized gasses)
And an anti tail made of heavier particles that point the path the comet has traveled.
The current comet visible has an anti tail.

The R-101 would sadly crash during a trip across Europe. The 8th Doctor rescued a stowaway, however.

#5 I slightly misread her name and immediately thought of Luisa from Encanto.
JohnnyLawlessEsq
"Luisita" is the diminutive form of "Luisa," so I don't think the resemblance is in any way a coincidence.

#3 I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mongolia. I have always thought they look like a lot of Native American tribes.
ThaneofGlamis
They share a lot in common with the plains tribes. I grew up in South Dakota, and it in many ways mirrors the Mongolian steppe. Makes one wonder how much our environment influences our culture.

Aren't they all union? Thought that was what the whole very short civil war was about?

#1 If you sit down look at the American Civil War from the soldiers view it was living hell, started with napoleonic tactics ended in WW1 tactics. Look up the wilderness, literal hell on earth 100(+) heat, forrest fires, friendly fire. The troops on both sides understood they were each survivors of a tumultuous event, despite probably still greatly disagreeing on the issues surrounding it. They share a bond.
ThaneofGlamis
A lot of that helps explain the ultra-violent period following the war as well, our Wild West period was filled with violent ptsd suffering veterans among many other issues.
HeldCaptiveByJeffGoldblum
The majority hated each other after the war
LadyRex
Every year, my family does the anniversary march of Picketts Charge, through the wheat, over the fences, and across open land, ending with the Rebel yell and sprint to the high water mark. We do this not in celebration but in understanding what those men went through as humans. It must have been terrifying. Helped wash away the glorification of war mentality.
captainhappen
#1 they had to wait fifty years because in the decades after the war the Union veterans hated, hated, hated the rebels. The Grand Army of the Republic (think civil war VFW) ended every meeting with the shout "the penalty for treason is death!"

#10 -- This is completely staged. No miner would ever come home that filthy. My mother-in-law is a Yorkshire miner's daughter, and her father was literally not allowed in the house unless he was clean.

'Snowball' was the name of the 8-foot tall senior who liked to beat up sophomores.

Real answer it was a "snowball war" and got way out of hand iirc. There were rocks and other things backed into them. Also, sometime ago, there was an NFL game where angry fans backed batteries into snowballs they threw at the team.

Snowballs hit a lot harder when you don't let go of them before contact.
SaturnineCult
You can put stones inside them, or prepare for the fight by watering/freezing them into iceballs. Next episode we delve into snow cannons.
Nullcrash
We used to get water balloon launchers. Make up a few hundred snowballs and place them strategically around the main building at winter camp (week long retreat in the mountains in 10th grade). 9pm rolls around and the other church group at the camp is leaving the building. It was glorious. It was brutal, and worthy of Stovokor!

News this week: Elite colleges say many new students have never actually read a complete book and a family is suing a high school because their son turned in a completely AI generated report and was failed for the course. They say the rules (which stated exactly this) were "too vague" and would do "irreparable damage" to his chances to join the National Honor Society and get into a an elite college.

#8 radiation poisoning seems like an awful, awful way to go
JohnnyLawlessEsq
The disease called "radiation sickness" usually refers to a specific set of symptoms caused by exposure of specific systems to radiation, mainly the digestive system and bone marrow. Exposure of one limb like this won't cause the kind of disease you see in "Chernobyl." It will have its own terrible consequences, to be sure, but that won't be it.

#8 this right here is why the Xray tech leaves the room when you are getting xrays!
OverpricedCrayon
No shit Sherlock
Einstein9073
X-rays are perfectly safe when you get one or two a year. X-rays are dangerous radiation when you have 8 to 12 a day
bingotown
And back then the power was turned up higher too because film wasn’t as sensitive, or at least I believe I read that somewhere.
Beefkins
We use about 95% less radiation than we did in the 50s for a given exam. When using the X-ray table or bucky, there is also a built-in AEC (automatic exposure control) that stops the radiation once the machine has received enough exposure (when used properly...).
ravenousj
These days they don't seem to care. They stay in the room.
Kordj
Xray tech here. They shouldn't. Not without a decent reason ie. Helping position and keeping a peadiatic patient still and not without ppe. In Australia we work under the ALARA principle of radiation dose. As Low As Resonably Achiveable.
Beefkins
Recently, a number of hospitals have stopped requiring shielding for most cases. This is due to research demonstrating that lead shielding has little to no benefit. Example: https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/specialties/radiology/xray-faq
It was ALARA when I went through rad school too, so this took some getting used to.
Aurentis
Possibly the machine is lower-exposure, or better directed with less refraction, or they're wearing better PPE?
Kordj
Machines are definitely lower exposure though.
bubblesuit24601
I have never had a tech stay in the room during an xray
Beefkins
This depends on a number of things. Unless you need a tech to hold, such as a peds exam or a body part that is no longer attached the way it should be, the tech should generally be out of the room. Also not always possible in portable cases, the OR, etc.
Silversalvation
Can't get over old habits. They need a wall between them and the X-Ray or they won't be able to resist another hit of radiation.
Machi4vel

shorey66
As a Radiographer (only called techs in the US) this is completely true. I sometimes have to chain myself behind the screen to resist the sweet sweet call of x-ray nectar.
KingXizor

The Sirens, she sings for you
UNHchabo
I had to get xrays of my shoulder last year and the radiographer gave me verbal instructions of how to position myself, it made me realize that the profession is also a highly specialized form of studio portrait photography. :)
I don't say that to minimize the profession either, I'm an amateur photographer who sometimes uses film and I know how tricky it is getting shots to come out just right in a single attempt. So lots of respect from me, when getting it wrong can literally be dangerous.
shorey66
How odd. We always position you ourselves then get you to hold still while we run behind the screen.
UNHchabo
It was during a local uptick in covid cases. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Either way, studio photographers do plenty of that too.
NotSinceTheAccidend
Shoulder xrays can be very challenging to someone new to it. You got your ap view, your y view, your grashey, and your axial. Def is fun to nail it first try. Feels like legit xray vision
shorey66
Especially the axial. People are often reluctant to abduct their arm when they've broken it.... Can't think why lol

#7 Sad story. Fuck 'sideshows' and fuck Hallmark.
gnomedeplume
this but also there's the unfortunate reality that in the society of the time they would have been the only way for people with conditions like those to earn a living
BossVarriack
It's also why P.T. Barnum has such a mixed rep. On one hand, he took advantage of a bunch of people with various disabilities and oddities. On the other hand, he got them a way to make living in a time period where it was hard for them to get a job
gnomedeplume
even so, he did not deserve Hugh Jackman glorifying him in cinematic musical form

#12 They actually planned to have a mooring point incorporated into the Empire State building, but it never really got off the ground.

It's true. Scientists determined that the Empire State building was too heavy to get off of the ground.

In the tv show fringe the alternate universe shows what the Empire State Building would have been like if they followed through with it. Pretty neat!

DukeDarkwood
From Reconstruction to about the 1920s, the South actually had learned there lesson and was contrite. The few who didn't (such as the nascent KKK) had to operate in secret, because even their neighbors wanted nothing to do with that.
In the 1920s, as those who experienced the war went into decline, saw their grandchildren try and start glorifying the whole thing. Monuments to Confederate generals, romantic notions of the antebellum South, and the whole "South shall rise again" nonsense....
DukeDarkwood
They forgot the lessons of the past. They wanted to bring back the "good, old days". And that included the racism - they wanted to feel superior again. Trending toward equality didn't sit well with that sort.
We never nipped that renewal in the bud, and it led to lynchings, the Civil Rights movement, riots, beatings, BLM vs. cops, and... *gestures at today*
A hundred years of them thinking things were better when they owned people. What's it going to take to ACTUALLY move forward as a society?
0xDEC0DE
I don't know, I've read "Company Aytch", and it reads as memoirs, bitching about officers, and a smattering of tall tales from a thoroughly unrepentant traitor to our nation. And that thing was a bestseller in its day.
DukeDarkwood
I won't say there weren't exceptions, but after the beating they took, and the process of Reconstruction, they were mostly trying to keep their noses clean.
Of course, this didn't stop them from bending rules a little, keeping things as disadvantageous as possible for the newly-free black community without actually breaking the new Amendments. But overt things like a renewed treason or outright massacres were avoided, except by those fringe groups.
I will concede that it might be better to say
DukeDarkwood
that they *acted* contrite than to imply they were fully reformed. But there was a partial recognition there, that another uprising wouldn't be a good idea, and not just because they were in no position to win after last time. They were, even then, reliant enough on federal aid to not bite the hand that feeds them.
Whatever the full truth, I am at least sure about the '20s resurgence. Monuments, romanticization, those got real popular all of a sudden in the 1920s, but were rare until then.
