NeatHeteroDude posted:I think bmi is a bad system but I don't remember why that is outside of it labeling people with muscles as obese because of the height weight ratio. Am I missing some other context? it's not a great system. I've put on weight during the pandemic but back in 2019-2020 I was running a 5k a day minimum, weighing 270. I'm 5'11", and I don't remember what my bmi was then but it was atrocious. I don't want to know what it is now lol. I work out every day though so I'm back on the righteous path

I'm a weight lifting guy primarily but I know it's important to do long distance cardio to prevent heart failure. also I'm (sort of) surprised there isn't a more powerful incentive guiding people to invest in carbon-capture technology. I have no idea What It Would Take for that to be more profitable than doing literally anything else, but it's a niche where there should be a lot of money to be made, right?

This seems to do a pretty good job of excluding us fat people.

That's actually 10 inches under the average waist size of an American man! 30" at any high BMI is getting into physique and bodybuilder territory.

NeatHeteroDude posted:oh yeah, I just checked out the equation it uses to calculate bmi. also the rest of your post. it took a while to get conditioned for it. when starting out I had itibial ligament inflammation that made me literally unable to walk for a few weeks and I had to start all over, and that was after getting past the shin splints. takes time to go from zero to running even a mile, especially for big dudes such as myself. I can't wait to get back to it though, one of the finest joys in life is ripping my bong hard enough that it takes me 15 minutes to remember I'm supposed to go running, and then going running. the first mile is hard but once you push through that, man it's sublime. running on LSD is insanely fun

https://www.barbellmedicine.com/blog/how-to-measure-your-waist-correctly/ posted:Waist circumference is a quick, low-cost piece of data with reams of scientific evidence relating the distance around your abdomen with health outcomes like premature death, diabetes, heart disease, stroke risk, etc. While the aforementioned disease processes have many variables contributing to their development and burden, we have large, well-designed studies showing that males and females that have a waist circumferences greater than 40 or 34 inches, respectively, have much higher risks of disease than those who do not.* So I undershot number but there's from the source rather than 'some goon said'. Still does a pretty good job at separating us fatties from the buff. There's a pretty good YouTube channel with non-dude-bro weightlifting info within that link, if you're into that sort of thing. Thank you for attending my TED talk.

It seems like if you just added a waist measurement to you could have a pretty useful and simple metric.

TeenageArchipelago posted:One of the problems with large scale adaptation of green energy is that it can be inconsistent, i.e. the sun isn't always shining, and the wind doesn't always blow. Would you be able to set up a system in which you overbuilt green energy production, and then in the peak times where you produce beyond what you need, direct that surplus energy to carbon capture? Essentially attempt to solve the problem of "the wind doesn't always blow, so you need grid storage to make up the difference, but grid storage sucks poo poo" with overproduction and burning the extra energy on carbon capture, because surplus production is also bad for the energy grid?" because carbon capture doesn't exist, OP

we need to be positive about incremental progress so if we ignore THE WORLDS LARGEST carbon capture plant in iceland as it's 1/10,000,000th of what we need then we take the optimistic and obviously wrong estimate of 43,000,000,000 tons of carbon being emitted each year. So to be carbon neutral we need 43,000 of these million-ton-plants. I hope the first 0.009% of these plants are ready soon. quote:The US hubs envisioned by DOE will be much larger. Humans have not yet built a megaton-sized direct air removal system, Larsen said, and DOE's hubs are an important first step to both dramatically scale these projects up and to find out what works and what doesn't. Oh so we are just now putting some money into eventually discussing the permitting and placement of yet to be designed experimental carbon capture plants to begin to discover what works and what doesn't over the next 10 years. At least we aren't already past any climate tipping points and everyone agrees we have 30 years to be "net zero" like the government does. Breaking ground on some of the results of this research in the 2030s or 2040s should be fine.

That Spooky Witch posted:it is the iq of health btw there is one good use for BMI, concerning artificial joints your healthy knee actually cares if it is surrounded by muscles or by fat, but once you are going plastic, metal or ceramics then BMI is a good indicator for how fast you need a replacement I wonder if popular sciance can give up its use so joint arthroplasty can reclaim it

bmi was originally used for population statistics where it's "good enough" because most people are not athletes but it never should have been applied to individuals for gauging health
