Right? This is an invalid graph without Dr. House.

I hope OP doesn't have lupus

When you hear hoofbeats, think lupus, not zebras.

Except that time it was lupus

Just figure House and McCoy occupy the same spot

Somewhere between top-right and top-middle depending on how revoked his license is at the given moment and how much vicodin he is on.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Does the amount of vicodin he's using put him higher or lower on the graph?

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Higher, but it happens slower.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 23 points 3 weeks ago

Top right, about 20 feet outside the graph.

Calm down Cuddy.

I cannot believe he survived the whole series, seems like someone who should have died near the end of s3 just to add to the atmosphere of desperation.

He was kept alive by his steady diet of 200 cigarettes per day.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

HOW DID HE EVEN GET CIGARETTES!!!

They are starving and eating paper but somehow they kept tobacco plants and all the mechanisms for drying and curing them, which would have taken enough resources to keep hundreds of people alive!?!?!

A guy like Cottle buys cigarettes for a decade in advance.

Hell, even Col. Tigh was smoking rollies by the end of the series. Cottle was set for life.

I always used to joke that one of the ships in the fleet was a cargo ship full of cigarettes.
