three is the first number that starts to cause problems.

one time i walked to a wendy’s at 1 am when it was snowing because it was the only place open at the time. when i got there i found out only the drive through was open. so naturally, i walked through the drive through. they told me they wouldn’t serve me unless i was in a car.

i feel like Lua just exacerbates this problem so much. you have to reinvent the wheel so often in that language, and i often see people reinvent the wheel differently than i would have.

not to mention the nesting…. i don’t know why, but just about every lua file i read has so many nested loops and conditional statements. it’s scary.

the 17 pounder has got to be one beast of a hamburger

in my experience, the grocery stores in sweden tend to be considerably smaller than the grocery stores in the united states. pretty much every grocery store in the US is larger than an ica maxi. there needs to be room for all 20 flavors of toothpaste and all 40 flavors of oreos.

dont even get me started on air

but have you considered that if i can’t see it then it doesn’t exist?

with a big enough screen i bet an AI camera could see it too

probably some time late next year

the $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 from google should be rolling in any day now

i think a lack of good public transportation might also be a problem here. if the only viable way to get around is with a car, then stakes of failing a driving test are much higher.

in my opinion, after establishing a very solid public transportation infrastructure, the next step should be to making it harder to get and maintain a driving license. force people to retake the test every 2 years, or every time they get any kind of traffic violation. and make the test harder to pass. the goal would be to make it annoying enough that most people would realize they don’t really need a car. and if people really do need a car, then they’d be much more incentivized to drive responsibly.

always remember, <=> is the three-way comparison operator. it takes two arguments.

they couldve gotten way more than $1,800 if they hit a few more cyclists on the way. theres plenty of room in the back of an ambulance

it makes sense to me. if the movie was supposed to be about climate change, why wouldn’t they make it about climate change?

is that something people do? make a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification?

i feel like it’s much harder when you finish a movie, and you hate it, and then find out it’s one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time.

this was my experience watching taxi driver. to this day, i have not been able to find a single other person who disliked that movie as much as i did

what about haskell

Treat OR NO Trick

no not like that

that’s what they tell you right before throwing you off the plane

i think you’re taking that quote out of context a bit. a few sentences later, the article says

Even physicians have weighed in on the shortcomings of B.M.I. The American Medical Association warned last year that B.M.I. is an imperfect metric that doesn’t account for racial, ethnic, age, sex and gender diversity. It can’t differentiate between individuals who carry a lot of muscle and those with fat in all the wrong places.

“Based on B.M.I., Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was a bodybuilder would have been categorized as obese and needing to lose weight,” said Dr. Wajahat Mehal, director of the Metabolic Health and Weight Loss Program at Yale University.

so the point they seem to be making is that, while BMI is controversial partly because people like to shoot the messenger, it’s also just not a reliable measurement in a medical context, even as a heuristic. the article also goes into more detail on its other shortcomings as well. the article also indicates how BMI was never intended to be used in a medical context. so, there are plenty of valid reasons for wanting a new metric.

but i do think the sentence you quoted isn’t really doing the author any favors in terms of trying to communicate the central point of the article.
