A bipartisan measure to undo Trump's global tariffs fails in the Senate by sik0fewl in c/politics@lemmy.world

Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who voiced support for the measure, were absent for the vote.

I guess this bill wasn't that important.

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this but everything seems to be going down the tubes quite fast. And not fun tubes, like at a waterpark. The “ending in shit” kind. The issues are complicated, the reasons diverse, but there are a few culprits who have been making themselves extremely visible.

YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index by sik0fewl in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world
[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 118 points 8 months ago

BMI is the best measure we have for statistical purposes (i.e., a population) because it's been around for 50(?) years and is what is often used in studies, so you can compare one study to another using BMI.

It's also not terrible for a population because it averages out. But for an individual it is definitely not a good measure because there are way too many other variables that matter.

So her invention isn't used for Wifi now, but was used in the initial design of it? You might even say she helped give birth to it...

To everyone that goes to "X" to get the "real", unfiltered news, I hope you can see that it's not that site anymore.
