I love the prestige, but Interstellar was his best work in my opinion. Definitely gone downhill since then, although I still enjoyed Oppenheimer. Tenet hurt my soul

Technically not 100%, a modern study has shown that there are 8 billion people who breathe oxygen currently living!

Nuclear power is extremely green when compared to fossil fuel and can act as an excellent stopgap while ramping up renewable energy sources. You're right that it isn't a long term solution, but even replacing a few coal fired plants with nuclear ones for the next 30 years would be better than running the coal plants for 20 years until you can displace them with renewables.

I'll be honest, the only reason I originally switched was because I needed to learn flask for a work thing. I didn't really notice any major differences in performance, but it was a pretty light website at that point anyway. I do prefer flask now, but that might just be because I've used it more.

I started out on django and ended up switching to flask for all my python backends, but it depends on what exactly you want. Django is very hand-holdy and does some of the work of setting up new pages/routes for you, however that does put you on rails a little bit compared to flask. Flask is more performant and customizable, but it's slightly more effort to get going in my opinion.

"Protection from a shadow curse, what else could a dingus want?" I sat there for a second thinking Did that little fairy bitch just call me a dingus?

Just for the sake of information, the two common ways to put this in English are "How it feels" and "What it feels like". The former phrase is just descriptive, so it doesn't need the "like" at the end. The latter phrase is comparative to another thing, so it needs the like. Also this is something that native speakers mix up all the time, so don't worry too much; your English is great!

Anyone know of an active lemmy community for nosleep stories? I used to read the subreddit all the time, every once in a while you could really catch a gem digging through all the trash.

My first thought is that maybe because women's chests have been sexualized, men are more hesitant to perform cpr on women in a public place. Not saying that either piece of that puzzle is right or rational, by the way. I'd be interested to see the numbers on the gender ratios of people giving cpr to women in public places to see if that lines up.

No, the number comes from a macroeconomics text book written by Gregory Mankiw and its based on research by Harvey Brennan studying the correlation since the 1950s.
