There is a theory that repeated weight loss is harmful, because dying or shrinking fat cells release toxins that they’d been holding. That the obese are mainly harmed by having their fat cells cycle more as they gain and lose fat, voluntar

It is useful for individuals. People don’t realize they’re overweight anymore, because everybody else is. BMI tells them an objective opinion that doesn’t change with the times. It is useful because its inaccuracy is small compared to ho

Sorry, I made them up. Of course it’s possible to get more muscular. The author name was supposed to be the tell. A Simpsons reference.

It’s a sad load of nonsense. Being fat sucks and the best thing that can happen to a fat guy is to lose weight. You can’t even sleep properly if you’re fat. You can’t keep up mentally. > But what if I want to be more muscular? Is that

You literally did say that, it’s what the meaning of your words is. Pointers are a better option because they make the mutability apparent at the call site. Codebases with that convention work great. There is no special training or document

You are just wrong here. References were not added to C++ for that reason. Pointers can be presumed in some code bases not to be null with nullability being the unusual and documented scenario.

But our public schools are fine, except in places where they have a lot of violence (and private schools are not a factor). Education everywhere is throttled by students’ time and attention, not the quality of the schools. “School choice” m

What the law is depends on the country, and I’m not familiar with Netherlands law, but this isn’t about structuring, because there isn’t bank reporting of Ethereum transactions. The parent is correct in some jurisdictions (like the U.S.) t

What? The right-wing purpose of home-schooling is to get away from the religious indoctrination in public schools. And their support of school choice means elite schools for everybody, instead of just the rich, which is the status quo. An

There are doctors who cut off foreskins of babies who would never ever consider it. Get it into your head that many doctors don’t have a real moral center.

I hate that the main field of keys is flat. That is a big step down from anything with sculpted keys. I don’t think this is really trying to be a good keyboard. TBF that is a solved problem.

Random violent crime is the issue here, not domestic violence between people who know each other. Dallas has different demographics; its crime rate comes from that.

Having flexible load lets power producers invest more reliably. It’s good to see the incentive structure is set up to reward this behavior.

Money laundering laws in the U.S. require some other crime to be involved.

The guy you’re replying to is just making this up. One of many accounts trying to foment sentiment against working for certain employers.

Note that I’m not defending the original claim you responded to, because I don’t think it’s using great data. Test scores would work great only if almost everybody reached the final year of high school and took the test, or if it came with

That’s just something people said on the internet with no sound basis for it.

Unless most of the population takes these exams you have only identified generally, it’s not going to reflect the average person. All that good performance by a small number of students would tell us is that smart people exist, which I alr

I’d say the difficulty with ICE in cars today is the precision of design, not precision of machining.

I don’t know about any shielding. They’re just plutonium and uranium, which aren’t very radioactive. They wouldn’t needlessly add weight to the weapon.

Wired is foreign media in Singapore. This isn’t what-about-ism — I am defending Singapore’s practice of banning foreign media that decides to have a say in how the country should be run.

Flare gas recovery systems do burn the excess gas to power the refineries. I’d guess the generated heat is used directly without conversion to electricity.

The U.S., specially certain states, has what other countries would call extreme limits on its ability to deal with mentally ill vagrants. An inability to involuntarily institutionalize them, or even throw out the stuff they abandon on the
