@Psalms1139@JessicaValenti You had a small chance of survival and survived! Amazing! And I mean this truly I’m happy for you.
Some people can’t deal with it and want to keep control of their body. They should have control of their own body.
@BasedVetDad@fuckyouiquit@geturtrackerbk The only reason people fly to the USA for medical care is if it’s experimental or illegal in their country.
An MRI takes a week in the UK if you go private, and on the NHS, 75% get one in 6 weeks.
Substantially less than 8 months https://t.co/zepSVvtiyG
@RoyaBacklund@alexpbollinger@hankgreen Yeah he said it was like a religion, he didn’t say it is a religion. They have similarities like blind faith in something unprovable.
You may think differently, but we can’t scientifically prove it so it requires faith. This is probably what Hank meant.
@jeremymstamper@UberFacts I can’t tell if you’re joking, but 97 IQ is below average, as the average IQ is set at 100. Above 130 IQ you’re roughly within the top 2%. (It’s a bell curve not a percentile)
So this tweet tells me you’re trying to tell a joke or just straight up lying

@dillzilla99@seleln1@ask_aubry So let’s say someone’s face is right up against the wheel, that wouldn’t affect it? If the distance between you and the wheel is less than the size of an inflated airbag, the force backwards is going to be immense
Oh and my steering wheel goes forwards and backward
@dillzilla99@seleln1@ask_aubry If you drop them you ignore the friction on the car seat. If you want to imagine dropping them-which box would exert more force upon the ground? That is the same force required to stop the box on the horizontal. Ans: the heavier one exerts more force as it has more momentum
@dillzilla99@seleln1@ask_aubry I actually got an A* in physics. You’re not understanding here. Instead assume a full and an empty cardboard box. The surfaces are the same, the friction is the same. Explain why the heavy box would fall off the seat and a light box wouldn’t? Ans:Their mass changes their momentum
@dillzilla99@seleln1@ask_aubry I actually did really well in physics and got an A*. You can take the force on the person in isolation to everything else. I can devise a diagram to show you how the impact of the car is actually irrelevant to the force upon the person if you know their speed and deceleration
@dillzilla99@seleln1@ask_aubry We shouldn’t accept this as fact before investigating it
These small differences should be minimal in practice but it’s not. The cars haven’t been designed with women in mind. Issues like seatbelts across necks because of height issues and boob issues are the main culprits.
@dillzilla99@seleln1@ask_aubry Now consider that many women have the seatbelt around their neck rather than across their chest because of boobs. We need a solution to this
@dillzilla99@seleln1@ask_aubry You’re only considering the force of impact on the car, not the force of impact between the person and the seatbelt/airbag. Consider a watermelon vs an empty box on the passenger seat when braking and how one will fall off the seat and have a harder impact-
@dillzilla99@seleln1@ask_aubry 2) how many push ups a person can do doesn’t determine survival rate in a car crash. If men survived more because they were physically stronger, then men would live longer than women overall. We know the opposite is true
@dillzilla99@seleln1@ask_aubry 1) If you shake a container with a ball in it, does the mass of the ball matter or just the container? If you put a bigger/smaller ball inside will that change the impact each time it’s shaken? The mass of both person and car are important here
@thefall87960810@SkyNews There are ways of shifting energy usage around such as cooking dinner earlier and heating it in the microwave later, this uses less electricity at dinner (peak) time.
That and putting the washing machine on later in the evening or early in the morning can help too
