They have some basic strategies to use there. My go to method is to create stories. I find studying to be intensely boring, and I will either zone out or just stop when it quickly gets boring. Stories, on the other hand, are exciting and fun. I definitely still have stories from twenty or thirty years ago bouncing around inside my head. Random snippets from reading books is where I get my large trove of trivia.

So for your medical terms, try creating stories that involve real world adjacent plots. Maybe the Kingdom of Aorta had a schism, and split into multiple factions vying for power. The Brachiocephalic lords went first, taking the right half of the kingdom with them, but the northern common carotids couldn't find agreement with the subclavians on anything, so they went their separate ways. That sort of thing.

Mnemonics are amazing too. I don't know a single person who didn't find it easier to remember the cranial nerves after "Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel a girl's vagina, ah, heaven!" Or the adrenal glands' "Salt, sugar, sex, the deeper you go, the sweeter it gets" for remembering your "go fuck rats" of the cortex's layers. Obviously the 'carnal' things are easier to remember because they intrigue your mind in a more powerful association. That might just be me... but it does seem like the majority of us who are playing with other people's bodies have good sex drives.

It's not always about the cost saving. Sometimes it's just because it gets more customers! Brominated flour, as an example.

Spaghetti with a little butter melted on it.

You know the saddest part? My family wasn't 'poor.' My father just wouldn't give my mother money for groceries, and shopping for food was a woman's job. I don't know how we, or she, made it through until the divorce.

Already did! They can't ban my blood from helping others now, can they!

Lol, he's right. I got measles, or... at least, an attenuated version from the FFUKCING MMR VVAccine, you dolt!

I wish I could be that popular, but I'd end up talking to the folks on the wall as I debate firework integrity.

Sory.

Edit: Sorry

Great, now I'm on another list, but it's not a cool one like "Most dangerous average person list."

It's more like, "People who cracked up watching a trump analogue wear a bronzed putin-bull's testicles.'

I mean, I feel the same way about character deaths. It's an overused trope. Let's have them quietly working in the background, like a capable spy would, eh? I think comics should have long ago embraced having their superheroes 'retire' by simply being background mentions from time to time, rather than have big dramatic deaths and torch passing.

I agree with you, but it will never happen without legislation forcing it. The insurance companies don't care who the money comes from (for the most part), so take them out of the equation. The person purchasing the car will (rightfully) feel that they shouldn't have liability because they're not driving the car, but the manufacturer/dealer will also (rightfully) feel that they can't control the environment that the owner subjects the car to, so the liability should be on the purchaser.

Right now, if you don't maintain your tires, and you lose traction and cause a wreck, you're at fault. If you don't maintain your brakes and they fail and you slam into the back of another car, you're at fault. Repeat ad nauseam for every part of the car.

Unless everything becomes leased (oh god, I can hear the comments about 'you will own nothing, and you will be happy' coming) and the manufacturer/dealer can force inspection of the car every x00 miles at the purchaser's expense, they will happily (and successfully, because they'll definitely sway the majority of american idiots with their 'dire warnings' about giving up ownership of your vehicle) that they shouldn't be liable because they can't ensure owners don't set up a dangerous situation.

I also don't see them 'grounding' a vehicle because a sensor says something is wrong. That is just screaming as the bad PR looms for the companies that would spearhead that thrust.

I call them circle spawners. The enemies spawn in a rough circle around you and close in. I think you can modify that with other terms depending on the specifics of what the game adds in.
