      Unfortunatly even when you are in the hospital when this happens and everyone around you is aware of what’s happening fast enough to act, it’s probably still fatal. Often times this happens deep inside the brain, there is no way to get someone into brain surgery fast enough. And even if somehow the doctors can get in there, often there is nothing to be done. If it’s deep in the brain, there is no good way of getting in there without causing a lot of damage and depending on the exact situation it can’t even be fixed.

      It’s just one of those really sad things that happens without anybody being able to do something about it.

      This is unfortunatly common in my family and I’ve had family members eating themselves up about it, if they just acted faster and got them to the hospital faster. But everyone from the hospital side was very clear about this, there is nothing that anyone could have done.

        Alas no, brain aneurysms don’t have to have any outward symptoms at all until they strike, and then you’re dead within minutes.

        You can spot some issues before they kill you if you have a brain scan, but as you’ve got no symptoms, why would you be having a brain MRI once a month?

        So, alas, it’s a silent, deadly killer. One day you just drop dead for seemingly no reason.

        RIP Grant, you were fuckin rad.

          My grandfather had an aneurysm and miraculously survived, ended up living another 15 years or so. Had Parkinsons too

          So I have two cool things to look forward to

        Depends. If he had an AVM (arteriovenous malformation) then that could perhaps have been treated. But finding one without before having an aneurysm is really hard. So you would need time travel + a way to convince everyone that he had an AVM and they needed to find out where it was. If he had one.

      The bottom image is Grant Imahara. He was a great engineer and well known for his work on several major movie franchises, mythbusters, and BattleBots. He died relatively young and tragically from a brain aneurysm.

      Adolf Hitler was a controversial german politician. He is considered in large part responsible for the second world war, and especially the holocaust.

      Hitler is generally considered quite a bad person, and it is a common trope to use a time machine to go back in time to kill him before his rise to power.

      Grant doesn’t need explanation as everybody knows mythbusters.

        Honestly, Hitler’s on everyone else’s time travel hitlist. I’d go back and get the guy that put LED headlights into cars. I am so sick of getting not just blinded, but migrained after a short night drive in the city.

          LEDs are objectively better.

          The problem is cool-tinted LEDs, too bright LEDs, and bad adjustments.

          I never had to deal with different headlights, but I would imagine LEDs are more efficient and have better longevity than incandescent bulbs. If they are too bright that sounds like something that could and should be easily solved for all these benefits.

            Not just headlights.

            When they design new roads they now use a bigger spacing between streetlights, because LEDs have wider optics. That still doesn’t guarantee they will install lights with wider optics. Some moron installs lights with optics that are meant to be used as an alternative light source in the old system with narrower spacing.

            End result is a light level that constantly flickers between pitch black and celestial might when you drive on it.

            It should be solved but it doesn’t hit the radar in politics, at least not here in Canada. They are objectively better lights, the problem is that standards don’t exist and non-highbeams are blindingly bright. It especially sucks if you’re not in a truck or SUV.
