The Mythbusters were incredibly influential in my desire to pursue engineering. I also liked watching Battlebots, seeing all the crazy things they would come up with... I wish the best for his friends and family.

#103An engineer friend of mine passed away due to brain aneurysm few years ago. Higor was in his twenties and had just achieved moving to Dublin after managing to acquire an Italian citizenship through his Italian ancestors being from Brazil.
I fantasize I will build a machine to extract his consciouness before the brian aneurysm saving him (but also causing the brain aneurysm).
Being an atheist I guess that's my way to hope for a way to see him again. I miss you Higor

#104I normally don't care about celebrity deaths but this one really has me sad. I know a lot younger people were influenced by him but he had a positive influence on me even thought I was already well into my career as an engineer. He embodied a true engineering spirit, and watching him on TV would make me reflect and kindle the engineering spirit of my own. Even if my job wasn't as sexy, was in a sea of cubicles and th…
It's hard to think of him as a celebrity, even. He felt just like a guy you'd hang out with at work or after work.
I know it's a small thing, but that's where cultural differences usually manifest, and I find them very interesting.

#106Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think the weakened blood vessels show up on MRI and CT scans. I don't think it's usually done unless you have specific risk factors. Probably best to let your doctor know about your family history.
What can you do about a weakened blood vessel?

#108Brain aneurism. The thought has always kept me up at night, and this only serves to make the fear worse. Poor guy, I really looked up to him. This really puts a damper on my mood which had been on an upswing recently

#110I would not be surprised if he is diagnosed with COVID-19, it can cause blood clots that obstruct blood flow. "Severe brain haemorrhage and concomitant COVID-19 Infection: A neurovascular complication of COVID-19": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7199686/
This article is specifically about a single person (60yo woman) who had a aneurysm and was actively fighting pneumonia from COVID19. Just because a celeb died doesn’t mean it makes any sense to try and tie in COVID19.
