Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

Dr. Bob@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•"Airplane!" is the unofficial movie of Air Traffic Control. "Waiting..." is the unofficial movie of waiters. What should be Lemmy's unofficial movie?English7·1 month agoI thought Pushing Tin was the aircraft controllers movie.
It’s heavy innuendo but yeah, they did the deed. Ilsa asks Rick to choose for her because she loves them both. He sets it up like he is running away with her but then does the ol’switcheroo and sends her and Laszlo off while he holds the Nazis at gunpoint. He ends up shooting Nazis and Capt. Renault covers for him.
My guess would have been 1970 .
Dr. Bob@lemmy.cato Funny@europe.pub•Don't be a super spreader... Wash your handsEnglish3·2 months agoWhat’s so difficult here? It’s a courtesy under all circumstances.
This wasn’t a published study. This was beers with the folks in the genetics lab at the hospital I worked at. No patient names or other identifying information was involved. They did tissue matching etc. and ran into the issue all the time. On a personal note two close friends have found out they had different biological dads than they thought they did. So maybe my perspective is skewed somewhat.
Incredibly common. I haven’t seen any recent estimates but I recall at one time that ~15% of children did not have the biological fathers than they thought they did. It’s not to point the finger at women - rates of infidelity may be even higher among men, it’s just harder to track independently.

It is being supported by something other than reality.

Dr. Bob@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If you see a bunch of otherwise normal people with the same odd behavior then you are probably seeing the effects of a marketing campaign.English18·2 months agoOr theatre students. They used to send them out to act weird in public to get over feeling self conscious.
Dr. Bob@lemmy.catoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•And I've played the best round of golf of all timeEnglish1·2 months agoI agree with you. My guess is a 3" heel to put her at around 5’7". I think he’s about 5’10" based on all the pictures of him with Bill Barr. I think he has two different lift heights depending on who he’s meeting with. I honestly don’t care about all of this that much, but I find it hilarious.
