There is no way my 94-year-old neighbor can successfully do any of that.

I got all my SO points from answering a single question on JavaFX, which I only used for about 6 months. It is not even the accepted answer (which was, and still is, incorrect).

The balls are inserted into PVC rings, which are screwed to the hub, so they can't move. (In my mind this also means that the tire is made of PVC rings and that the balls serve more as decoration, but hey)

Oh I agree, this totally would be on point for Reddit at the time. However, not only did the user-base change, Reddit did as well; Between the ads, awards, and NFTs... errr... avatars, I feel that Reddit is now a lot better off financially than it was back then (I could be totally off-base here) and so the expectation is that it should now no longer be in a situation where my specific visit to the site took down the one MySQL box in the storage closet.

The worst one to me is:

"You broke Reddit!"

Like it is my fault the site has gone down.

I got that reference!

A lot of companies (Adobe, Ross, AJA, Nikon, among others) had already pulled out of NAB before this announcement, the writing was on the wall.

Pretty brave for posting on a site that breaks the back button.

I am sorry, that wasn't clear; That was the goal in the specific case of my family-member. The tumors would never fully disappear, and he would likely need more treatments later on.

It sort of depends on what you define as success. The goal was never to "cure" the cancer, rather, to shrink the tumor.

I hesitate to assign an exact percentage to the effectiveness since there are so many factors to consider, but I remember Keytruda being reported to shrink tumors in less than a third of patients who took it.
