Inzombiac posted:Yeah and the kill range for a regular grenade is surprisingly small. An average human body surrounding one would save everyone else, almost guaranteed. They don't even have the wave of internal organ liquification that you get from HE, so one person is gonna absorb all of that. Hell, put a decent amount of material between you and the grenade (like a backpack) and you could probably live through it. That exact thing actually happened in 2008  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Croucher quote:Croucher was recommended for the award for throwing himself on a Taliban tripwire grenade to save his comrades. He was part of a reconnaissance mission near Sangin in Helmand Province in Afghanistan on 9 February 2008. Moving through a compound at night he felt a trip-wire against his leg and saw that he had activated a grenade. He threw himself to the ground, and used his rucksack to pin the grenade to the floor, and tucked his legs up to his body. He was thrown some distance by the explosion, but due to the protection offered by his rucksack and body-armour, suffered only a nose-bleed, perforated ear drums and some disorientation. The pack was ripped from his back by the explosion, and his body armour and helmet were pitted by grenade fragments. Of the other three members of his patrol, the rear man managed to take cover by retreating round the corner of a building; the patrol commander threw himself to ground, and received a superficial face wound from a grenade fragment; and the final team member did not have time to react, and remained on his feet, and would have been within the lethal range of the grenade but for Croucher's action. The explosion breached a large lithium battery which was in Croucher's pack to power the patrol's electronic countermeasures equipment, causing it to burst into flames. A medic recommended that he be evacuated, but he insisted on continuing as the members of the patrol realised that Taliban fighters would probably come to investigate the explosion, and this would give the marines the opportunity to ambush them; the ambush was successful, and Croucher himself killed a Taliban fighter.

Even after waiting over an hour to get through the queue, AMC's website would just throw an error after selecting your seat. https://www.ign.com/articles/spider-man-now-way-home-demand-crashes-theater-websites Apparently multiple ticket sites were melting down. I guess this movie is super popular?
