I agree in spirit but a CPI applied to military expenditure would be adjusting for prices of irrelevant items and could become very skewed at such large scales

Admittedly I don't know have a better idea either so... Guess I'm hoping somebody smarter than me can chime in

Pretty sure it's actually missing King Kong given the design of those buildings and plane

How did that cat manage to keep its phone's reflection out of this selfie?

For anybody else wondering about the roughly 1500 year gap, there are conflicting statements between the museum and an article (presumably the one above) written about it but I don't see any explanation on either side's reasoning:

We talk about freedom the same way we talk about art,” she said, to whoever was listening. “Like it is a statement of quality rather than a description. Art doesn’t mean good or bad. Art only means art. It can be terrible and still be art. Freedom can be good or bad too. There can be terrible freedom.

Same way you overcome any of life's challenges: decide it's impossible bullshit and move onto another game

The moment I realized the most one can gain from (pre-buyout)Twitter is the respect of other Twitter users, posting anything immediately became a chore

Not sure what the science is between 2 images with no source or timestamp and nearly 20 years of technological improvement between them is but this isn't the peak of Katrina

Katrina ultimately reached its peak strength as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale on August 28. Its maximum sustained winds reached 175 mph (280 km/h) and its pressure fell to 902 mbar (hPa; 26.63 inHg), ranking it among the strongest ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico.

It probably refers to its stats at landfall

Katrina weakened to a Category 3 before making landfall along the northern Gulf Coast, first in southeast Louisiana (sustained winds: 125mph) and then made landfall once more along the Mississippi Gulf Coast (sustained winds: 120mph). Katrina finally weakened below hurricane intensity late on August 29th over east central Mississippi.

But power doesn't equal damage for weather

[Katrina] is the costliest hurricane to ever hit the United States, surpassing the record previously held by Hurricane Andrew from 1992. In addition, Katrina is one of the five deadliest hurricanes to ever strike the United States

Doesn't sound familiar but I understand there's very little to go off here
