Well first off that paper is from 2025, but data collection for the OP study is as far back as 2009.

second this is the first line of the paper you indirectly linked:

current BMI-based measures of obesity can both underestimate and overestimate adiposity and provide inadequate information about health at the individual level, which undermines medically-sound approaches to health care and policy."

This study is not information at the individual level.

And here is a quote from later on in the abstract:

We recommend that BMI should be used only as a surrogate measure of health risk at a population level, for epidemiological studies, or for screening purposes, rather than as an individual measure of health.

E: OP's study actually cites the new obesity definition in it's methods to justify it's use of BMI:

Not all individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher will have impaired health or increased risk of death, and some individuals with a BMI below 30 may also have obesity.18 However, for population-level screening and surveillance, the use of BMI categories as a proxy for obesity in adults continues to be recommended.9,14

citation 14 is that study referenced in Scientific American!

I think they are using facism units

Here's the actual source, I don't think the article really adds anything

Enter Monthly Subscription Game Libraries and DRM-free → Exit Steam

I strongly disagree with this paragraph, as we saw with Netflix and video streaming monthly subscriptions are a trap which allows a massive increase tot he cost to the consumer and a noticeable drop in the quality of the content in a way steams model simply does not.

And they are good stories for the most part too, is can still remember some of my storylines from a decade ago.

or even worse when you have to wait for the voiced dialogue to finish before it lets you continue.

People listen to thousands of hours of rain or whale sounds, no one thinks "chill beats to study and vibe to" is high art either. I think that is the main market this is competing with not your favourite band or whatever.

Even if we intentionally released as much co2 as we could all life on earth is not at risk. Remember that there's a fair amount of life that is virtually unchanged since the paleozoic period when all that co2 was in the air. Beyond that there's stuff that hangs out in volcanic vents, rapidly evolving life that can adapt even to rapid change, bacteria, molds, mosses and algae. And who knows maybe there's even a small adaptable mammal or 2 that gets out and evolves enough for a second attempt at sapience.

Don't get me wrong the climate disaster is truly a unique and devastating extinction event, but humans are not so powerful as to leave the earth a completely lifeless rock.

Would this data get screwed up by VPNs?

I'm not sure what language that is but that code makes no sense.

I say grow it out longer

I always think this when I see those annoying posts about diet coke dissolving screws.

When public services are kneecapped to be worse than their private equivalent then people stop using them and then they turn private.

Just remove the lid entirely.

Peking duck, the hoisin sauce, fatty meat and cucumbers perfectly balance each other while the pancake absorbs the juices and keeps it easy to eat. Nothing else comes close.

It definitely started as a sexual innuendo.

This went viral. The girl tried to capitalize on her 15 minutes of fame by starting a right wing podcast and then a crypto scam.

I think if the vetting process to set these up is good enough then it will be hardly used, or maybe used by businesses to drum up business.

If the vetting process isn't good then a pedo will set one up in an alley
