is this true
  • Thx sorry I didn't read all your comments in the post, I was using that question as a proxy to whether or not your discussion was in good faith. It seems like the answer is yes.

    I frequently wonder how many better metrics are available that just aren't as easy to capture as stepping on the scale, grabbing blood oxygen, and taking blood pressure. I'm sure that part of the balance is value of vitals versus time or effort to collect them.

  • 'My car is more convenient'
  • If more poeople had your perspective, I wouldn't be constantly tempted to block this community. On my other account I did block after about 2 weeks. I have a bicycle, electric cars and work from home, but I can't bicycle my 4 year old to swim lessons two nights a week 25 miles away. I have other kids and other time obligations you know? Doing the best I can, but it takes a car for now.

  • is this true
  • What science would change your mind? There's never going to be a magical cutoff number for cholesterol or height or weight that separates healthy and not healthy.

    Heuristics are useful tools and sometimes that's the best you get. You need water to live, clogged arteries cause heart attacks, insulin resistance leads to diabetes. Exactly how much of any given thing causes bad outcomes is going to vary case by case, but doesn't negate trends.

    I say all this as a former wannabe body builder who hasn't had a BMI under 25 in about 20 years, but I still know a BMI of 60 or 80 is no good.

  • How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?
  • Doesn't this defeat the point of taking your shoes off inside? If your concern is tracking in dirt or germs on your shoes, tracking them on your feet is arguably worse unless you've got foot wash stations at the doors.

  • Cable lobby vows “years of litigation” to avoid bans on blocking and throttling
  • I have a pretty reasonable grasp of delta V. While my comment is flippant, you can launch Eastward from the equator any day and end up in space: deep space if you have sufficient velocity (though usually you'd do that with one or more gravity assists). The sun is the only other place you can go any day, but there's huge angular velocity to overcome to make a direct shot.

    It really really is the case mathematically that if you just want to go to deep space it's not as difficult as trying to figure out how to go to a particular place, as anyone who has ever done trajectory planning with STK will tell you. More difficult from a cost and engineering perspective, sure, but mathematically easier to just shoot in a direction at escape velocity for the sun whatever day you want.

  • All billionaires under 30 have inherited their wealth, research finds
  • .... 10 billion dollars is still a billionaire. Or is this a comment that nobody has 10 billion dollars?

    Or is maybe this a misread of the OP? By "pool 99 percent of their wealth" they mean the other direction. As in the billionaires keep at most 10 billion and the rest goes to better the world.
