I recently tried to compare data on morbid obesity, but most countries don’t even have a rate, or only include the data as a sub- 1% share of the obesity.

And the US it’s 9.5%

As in, 30% of the US has a BMI between 30 and 40, and 10% is over 40.

Z values are measurement of how many standard deviations something is from the mean. 95% of your values fall between -2 and +2. Most “interesting cases” are about outliers, something that’s very uncommon. If it’s common, you don’t tend to write a paper about it. Nobody cares if someone had a slightly above average tumor, but if they have 50kg tumor, that’s publishable.

The survivorship bias plane shows a world war 2 chart of where the bullet holes were on planes. The conclusion famously isn’t to armor those parts often hit, but to armor the parts that weren’t hit, because no planes hit there returned to be recorded.

To be fair, a hundred pages wouldn’t fit in the margins

Blaming someone else what the US did wrong is a proud US tradition!

The signs were placed by the Dutch. The signs were removed by order of the US government.

I learned that I can do a great anime-protagonist haircut, but now that I’m not in my early 20s anymore that’s not really my style anymore.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you just trim the tips off of your perpetual ponytail/braid, that’s easy too.

Everything in between needs practice, and ideally the ability to look at the back of your head.

Int is knowing what you’re talking about

Wis is knowing when to talk

Cha is when people listen to you

Children need a parent, and some adults never pass that stage.

I recall being a grad student, and one of my friends was super happy their paper was mentioned. The context was basically “Contrary to claims by [friend et al]…”

It doesn’t move. Normally, warm air rises from the chicken wings, carrying the smell up into your nose. In microgravity, the smell can only drift along currents. If you’re not holding it “upwind”, you won’t smell it.

There are some funny stories of astronauts moving through the ISS and suddenly hitting a pocket of fart.

And there’s no smell untill it’s in your mouth, meaning that it comes as a total surprise!

At least she didn’t tamper with the safety shield or the guide. That would be dangerous!

So, during the shooting, they were bombing Palestine and blocking aid. Now there’s a ceasefire, and they’re only bombing Palestine and blocking aid?

1: every professional knows LNT is wrong, but there isn’t an agreed alternative.

2: there are safe limits set for people who work with radiation, so the LNT model isn’t actually used there at all.

Assuming the cat hasn’t just gone, you can “manually express” urine by squeezing the bladder. It takes a little practice, but you can do it with all cats that won’t murder you for trying.

You can find a lot of guides on youtube on how express a cat’s bladder, since kidney issues are quite common. It works on healthy cats too though.

“Nits make lice” from Chivington,

Except for that one

I can eat the stuff that literally kills him. At home. Without worry!

“isn’t it amazing how Africa and South America seem to fit together? I wonder what caused that”

“I dunno, probably magic”

While I really appreciate the serious links, I thought I was pretty clearly joking. Crypto is inherently unsecure by design. Being able to get scammed out of your money is an intentional feature in crypto currencies.
