This is illustrated pretty nicely at the end of the article; where they highlight just such a comment, the link it posted, and the suspended account page for the user.

Ah, thank you so much, I missed that. Definitely curious to see how that shakes out.

I saw here that the fines are $4 million for each of the two offspring, and $1 million for Weisselberg:

You make a fair point, but even assuming this level of hurricane was occurring previously, at least we can now monitor their frequency moving forward.

Edit: I just read the article, and it indicates all such recorded hurricanes were within the last decade

Oh man, sometimes yes but sometimes not so much. Know how humans have 23 chromosomes? And we're diploid, which means they come in pairs of 2?

Some plants have a few more pairs than that - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploidy And some plants have way WAY more than 23 chromosomes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_by_chromosome_count There's a plant at the bottom of that list that has 1260 chromosomes.

I only took 1 botany class back in college, so I don't know or remember enough to talk about this in more depth. I really only know enough to be shocked by how crazy a plant's genuine can be.

That's not the issue here; try rereading the sentence as if the section in parentheses didn't exist

Yeah, this is a strange mix of information being conveyed. Tetanus is indeed caused by an anaerobe, and it's caused by a puncturing wound. The depth of the wound is what causes the oxygen-free environment. The correlation with iron, from my understanding, is solely because a nail can easily cause such a puncture. A nail stepped on in the general environment can easily innoculate the wound with with the relatively common Clostridium tetani bacteria, which causes tetanus. I don't think rust is a factor, though I've been wrong before.

This is a great article, but given your context, I chuckled when I stumbled across this line: "There is yet another important variable in this sprawling equation, and it might be the most important one of all: the home theater experience."

I've never heard of NaNoWriMo, maybe open with a welcome post that gives a quick and dirty rundown of the concept? Is the goal really to write something in a month?
