Recovering academic now in public safety. You'll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

  • This is almost always the result of who gets included/excluded in the study. Scroll all the way down to criticisms in this link and you'll see a reasonably good discussion of it. Basically smokers tend to be leaner and have crappy outcomes, sick people or those with pre-existing health issues tend to lose weight etc. Including "lean" people who have other risk factors is the entire effect.

    For the record this same effect is present in the "is one drink a day good for you?" debate. If you include people who can't drink because of medication or extreme illness the alcohol use looks good. Toss all the abstainers who aren't in peak health, and alcohol use looks very bad. The results are driven entirely by the inclusion criteria.

  • Get this slop outta here. If you don't know you can just not say anything.

  • If we can agree that children shouldn't see beatings, torture, and murder, then sure.

  • I asked for a recommendation for raw denim repair in my city subreddit. Removed and suspended. 15 year old account.  ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Gently wash then oil. Not scour.

  • Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, "The Ken and Barbie Killers".

  • You want some fuck?

  • The economics of it have shifted over time. If you were born in 1968 you might have graduated university into Black Monday, and finished grad school in time for the dot.com meltdown. I did. Those are far from the boomer like conditions of the 1960s and 70s.

  • Anyone buying a home in 1968 is not an Xer. That's a birth year.

  • ?

  • I've been friends with HR people at a number of jobs. They generally party hard. I've also always had the understanding that if they have to walk me we'd be professional about it. I've never been let go.

  • Cool zone grasses, like rye and fescue, love cool and wet weather. During prime growing season we mow every 3 days :D But yeah, we don't worry about hurricanes here. Just plough winds .
