Yep, Google did buy recaptcha after all

20lbs in 2 weeks?? That’s an extreme pace that could be dangerous

Why do companies continue to add these clauses then? Just as a deterrent?

Maybe gender role abolitionists, but not gender altogether

I wouldn’t say it’s useless since it does show a trend of overall weight gain, but yes it can be misleading when the average person still equates BMI and health

I read the article, but I’m not seeing how the metric itself is racist? It’s not actually explained, just that it has racist origins (created using white ppl as the reference point) and the application of it as a standard of overall health can have racist applications, which I definitely agree with.

The thing is though, the graph above isn’t a graph of “health of American states over time”, it’s a graph of BMI over time. I think we’re mostly just arguing semantics at this point because the original person I replied to was equating normal BMI range = healthy which isn’t what’s shown here and is unrelated

BMI isn’t an indicator of health though, which is exactly what the study says. It’s simply a measurement of body mass, which doesn’t account for other factors

BMI is a good metric for populations as there are very few athletes at that elite level compared to obese people. At an individual level it can be misleading if you’re an athlete with a high muscle to body fat ratio

Seems like 1950. Here’s a excerpt from the Wikipedia article

Critics of the commission have pointed out it’s many failings. In a 1989 article for the Ottawa Citizen, writer Sol Littman explained, the All-Party Parliamentary War Crimes Group of the British House of Commons found that screening was virtually “non-existent” for Ukrainian SS veterans who entered Canada in 1950. The SS veterans had been allowed into Canada from the U.K. based on false assurances that they were not war criminals. The Foreign Office lied to British parliament in 1947, that the SS volunteers had undergone “a very exhaustive screening process.” In a 1997 interview with 60 Minutes, Irving Abella stated that getting into Canada for SS members, was as easy as just showing their SS blood type tattoo which indicated that they were reliably anti-communist.

This wasn’t recent that they came to Canada

Or anything to do with trans people at all

fyi it’s “moot point”, not “mute point”

From what they’ve said the game can run fine, but the issue is getting local split screen on the S working because it has such a small amount of RAM available

I read Hi-Rez in the title and was briefly hopeful for Tribes news. Nope

My friend sent me a peaceful nature video he took yesterday and I turned my volume WAY down in fear of a screamer

This reads very much like a tech bro wrote it

The writer assumes the reader is a man also. They use he and they to refer to programmers, but never she. The only time she is used in this entire document is referring to a woman delivering your code:

The outcome you should be thinking of is a lady who’s going to get fired if she doesn’t deliver the output of your program at 4:59pm sharp.

Hopefully they do both, but I agree

It’s a great way to clear the mind, and it’s empowering knowing you have the fitness to be able to run for a long distance. It sucks for the first 3 weeks starting out but is so much better after that

You got me clicking countries on the map now. I really can’t find a consistent reason why sometimes it shows the outline and sometimes it doesn’t…

• Canada: yes
• Russia: no
• South Korea: no
• China: no
• Spain: no
• France: yes
• Iraq: yes
• Kyrgyzstan: no
• Mongolia: yes
• Japan: no
• USA: yes
• Malaysia: yes

What pattern is there here???
