According to an erstwhile doctor, the more times you do it, the more likely you are to do it again.

I actually had rotator cuff surgery to try to stop it from happening, but the surgeon said it was "like trying to nail Jello to a tree."

Though it did happen a few times after that surgery, it's been a long time since the shoulder dislocated, a trend I'm hoping to continue! Instead, I'm all about a broken ankle these days.

I've dislocated my shoulder fourteen times, mostly in an innovative way each time.

Once, a friend invited me to play catch with a group. I came along for the socialization, but warned that if I threw anything that I would dislocate my shoulder and have to go to the hospital. He scoffed and said it wouldn't happen. Somehow he convinced me it wouldn't, so I threw the ball once, then immediately had to go to the hospital, as I had dislocated my shoulder.

Another time, my dad had to take me to the hospital, as I had been laying in bed and attempted to turn over, dislocating my shoulder.

I've messed up headless servers more than once, to be fair.

It seems like a ... Dramatic misspelling of "their."

You have done a much better job of explaining than anticipated and I hereby express my gratitude.

It's not surprising that it could be deadly, but I was always told the reason was olfactory in nature.

Wait ... Explain the ninja turtles!

My friend posited that the amount in the sewers would be likely to be less than that in the ambient air and therefore worth attempting if desperate.

I don't know much of anything about sewers, but you don't really smell things around manholes, do you? (My anosmia prevents me from answering this with confidence.) If not, it would make sense to presume there's some kind of seal on them. If that's the case, the outlet would be the primary inlet for gas. I don't know enough about gas attacks or drainage to say whether that's a problem.

If I'm ever unable to breathe ambient air or escape the area, I'll try to remember to attempt this and get back to you.

Nice.

When I was first informed that this was possible, it was suggested as a way to get breathable air if your city suffered a gas attack or similar.

But the 99 keeps telling me how great he is!

In those situations I usually enable 1.5x.

What power?

Hey, I'm just glad they're using titles now.

What babe?

Just because she's leading in a disappointing manner doesn't mean she's not leading, to be fair.

TIL

Forbes revised its estimate of Holmes's net worth to zero

Ouch.

Fortune named her in its feature article on "The World's 19 Most Disappointing Leaders".

Ouch again. Maybe consistent fashion isn't the path to popularity?

edit: Quotes are from the Wikipedia article on her.

Whether it's cold or whether it's hot, there will be weather, weather or not.

Gotcha.

Sure, but I don't think that's impacted by acknowledging their clothing decisions.

Also Mark Zuckerberg.
