The 4000 number includes people who later died of cancer or at least a projection of that. A lot of people got thyroid cancer due to Chernobyl, but thyroid cancer has a 99% survival rate these days.

It looks like the combination of many agendas plus Soviet incompetence/cover up makes it pretty hard to say for sure how many people actually died but I'm thinking the WHO estimate of around 4000 is probably closer than the 90K+ that some people estimate. Deaths due to the Chernobyl disaster...

I don't give a shit if it's "harsh" or "biased". I want to know if it's accurate. The numbers I've heard in the past about Chernobyl were more like what the article said than what the show portrayed it as.

Neither of them was actually a good show. I think they deserved to be pretty low in the rankings.

I loved the show, but...

That actually sounds like something I would like. Maybe I'll have to check it out next winter.

My understanding is that mission style means that there is rice in it and the tortilla is steamed so it sticks to itself. I'm not an expert though and I imagine Alex will be along to correct me. I've never been to Chipotle, but I consider the "bertos" places in Phoenix to be different from...

The Leftovers at #5? Was it really that good? I don't know anyone who watched it.

When I first moved to the bay area I was horrified by the fact that they put rice in their burritos. I'm not horrified anymore, but I still don't think that shit belongs in there. I liked the Burritos in Phoenix better than Mission style. The only mexican place in my town now smothers all of...

You invalidated your opinion by posting about a pizza with salad on it. New York pizza is "the best" because New Yorkers love stroking their cocks and thinking about how they're better than other people and dumb ass tourists buy into the hype because it's like they saw on TV.

Glyphosate won't really kill the roots. Anything that can come back from the roots it's not going to be effective on long-term. You might try something with a combination of 2 4-D and Dicamba.

Do the series first. You would have no fucking idea what's going on if you just watched the movie I'm pretty sure of that. They threw in a few flashbacks to remind people what happened but I don't think it would be enough for someone to get it without watching the show. Either way, the series...

That was very fun. Definitely a lot of fan service in there but the characters didn't miss a beat and the characters were always what Deadwood was all about. That and the amazing dialog which was also present. When Jane asked Charlie about Joanie and he said "I reckon she's been collecting...

People love to hate on winners that didn't win the way the fans think they should. The fact of the matter is that the jury decides the winner of survivor and every jury is different so whatever your game was, if you win that means you played the best game for your season, regardless of what the...

Really writing from another person's outline is worse than nothing. GRRM might have gotten halfway through writing from his outline and went "this doesn't make any sense" and changed it, but the show runners are pretty much stuck with it.

They seem to only have chocolate and one other flavor of the dip. My hometown DQ generally has chocolate and butterscotch. The one in the next town over has chocolate and cherry. Since the local one has this dreamsicle stuff, they no longer have butterscotch on the menu. Just FYI, the dip...

This is done in a lot of shows. It makes sense. There are tons of british actors and it's probably one of the easiest accents for American actors to do. Some people say it takes them out of it but I think that watching it as an American it conveys a sense of foreignness but it's less...

They have run the gamut from great to really terrible, but when there's been nearly 50 movies made from your books that's going to happen. I think this has been posted before, but it's pretty insane how many movies have been adapted from King's work. Every Stephen King Movie Ranked, From...

I like chocolate but butterscotch is my favorite. I don't get them a lot but probably 3-5 times a year it wins out over a blizzard.

Ate one right before the ice cream cone.

I knew that was coming, but in my defense, I'm reading less than 5% of the posts in this thread.

I know it's several pages of complaints about a TV show that is no longer on the air. That's enough.

I really hope this person really takes a hard look at their life after typing this. Shit if you even read it you should really ask yourself if you're making the best use of your time.

Went to DQ and tried the "Dreamsicle Dipped Cone". As an aficionado of both creamsicle flavored shit and dipped cones I am sorry to report that this is garbage and they need to bring back butterscotch immediately.

If they drove it while it was overheating you're probably lucky it just cracked the radiator and didn't blow the head gasket, warp the head, or even destroy the engine completely. Also, if my brother's Jetta was any indicator, VWs suck really badly, like it's hard to find a car that unreliable...

I'm no expert on blown in insulation or ductwork, but I think it could only make the AC more efficient to have the ducts insulated. That shit is the real deal. My brother put it in his house when it was sub-zero temps outdoors and it was pretty stunning how much it changed what it took to heat...

I hate to admit this but I didn't figure out that the young guy with the general from the Vale was Robin Arryn until I saw this meme.

Plus you had to know that Bran had an important part to play. His storyline has been 10% of the books/show all the way through. You don't dedicate that much time to a character that's not critical to the story and I don't think sitting in Winterfell to attract the Night King really qualifies.

This is the way I feel too. And they have been foreshadowing it since she got to Westeros. There's been half a dozen scenes where she's raring to go burninate King's Landing and Tyrion, Varys, and Jon Snow are begging her not to. Then she tried being the restrained queen and doing the right...

I think the conclusion we have come to here is that @bytes should definitely NOT come to the USA for his sex tourism vacation. Stick to Thailand or the Philippines.

The boss miner was great. I wonder how realistic the people dying in the hospital were. That was pretty terrible.

You know that they will eat though. They might miss one meal, but they're not going to starve themselves.

It's a currency that no one uses. It's a giant craps table, that's it.

Ages of consent in the United States - Wikipedia Quite a few states have the thing where the "perpetrator" has to be at least 4 years older or something along those lines, but not all of them. The only time it really comes up is when the person is much older or the girl's parents decide to go...

I went to a redneck funeral a couple weeks ago. The first song was "When I get where I'm goin" by Brad Paisley which is a standard funeral song around here. Then they played "Eastbound and Down" from Smokey and the Bandit and I was just thinking that was an odd song to play at a funeral, but...

SO much for my predicting. I can't really hold against Chris. He did amazing with the opportunities he had and the finale was pretty entertaining because of it, but it pretty much made the entire rest of the season meaningless. It's also sort of bullshit that Rheem and some of the other early...

You can go into the area now. You're just not supposed to stay too long or it might increases your chances of thyroid cancer. Animals don't live as long as humans so they can live there without much impact at all.

I think Breaking Bad and The Wire had great endings as did Justified but I don't know if those count as "genre shows" or not. 6 Feet Under actually had a great ending as I recall but you had to get through a lot of shit to get to it. The ending of Rome was pretty good, although it left me...

They should have a scene exactly like Aragorn's coronation with every single character present and do it shot for shot except at the very end Tyrion steps up and stabs Dany in the back, then Jon cuts off his head and Drogon freaks out and burns everyone to dust. Final scene is Drogon flying...
