If you saw the video, it was clear that he was hit in the brain stem and was dead instantly from hydrostatic shock. Look at what his arms did instantly.

That you Scotty?

You didn't mention the third group though. More of us voted against him and are stuck in this nightmare.

Heh, that would have been perfect.

Yeah, no one "flashes a Mensa card" unless they are a jerk. We joined many years ago when we lived in Iowa for the social aspect. The parties are a lot of fun and the people are all fascinating. Not all people you want to spend time with, but fascinating. We let our memberships lapse when we moved back to Colorado.

Nearly universally, Mensans recognized that IQ is only measure of how well you do on an IQ test (which, as you may know, was never intended as a test for the upper end, only to find students who needed intervention) or the other allowed tests.

There were materially successful people and not, socially adept and not. People we learned to avoid and people who became friends. Cringe and connection.

I suppose it is like any other social club where you have something in common with the additional kicker that people were not holding back in conversation. You had the chance to rapidly be humbled in that case if you went on at length about some favorite topic only to find out the person you were talking to was an expert in it.

Plus there were cool speakers and field trips. "Dumb things smart people do" was one of our favorites.

City of heroes is still available for free and is a lot of fun. Pre-WOW but the graphics are decent. A great community too.

I was a peer writing tutor at a top engineering school. I would be surprised if an engineer had verb-noun agreement. (That said, my kid was a nuclear engineer and is a great writer, so that is the danger of stereotypes...)

Don't mistake aggregate with individual responses. In aggregate a survey sample might result in a sum of 98% are Muslim, Catholic or Jewish but no individual selected that sum. We could imagine a scenario where each individual chose one of those as a large majority, for example.

That said, it is true that many people really don't understand data and it's implications and tend to consistently overestimate many unlikely probabilities. Source: I teach statistics...

Some public water naturally has flouride in it without adding it. IIRC it was high flouride well water in Colorado that revealed its benefits You can also use flouride rinses or just not rinse after brushing. This doesn't help kids though, which as I understand it are the primary beneficiaries of flouride in waterr.

Sorry friend, "Rubio" is a Hispanic name, so off to El Salvador he goes...no crime necessary.

Of course it is, along with the Administration ignoring a judge's order. The point is that this DOJ will not prosecute it. AG Bondi had made that clear.
