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 talk about Z-values.
The survivorship bias plan 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.

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]…”

The upper teeth are solidly in the “danger triangle” of the face. If those get infected, there’s basically just a highway to the brain.
Without dentistry, getting a cavity could easily lead to an infection, and without antibiotics, that could easily kill you.
People don’t really realize how lucky we are with modern medicine. People used to die from all sorts of things we consider trivial today

Bad teeth used to frequently kill people as little as a century ago.

So, is the leadership fucking stupid, or do they expect their voters to be fucking stupid?

Yep. Animals are also legally considered property, but at least they have some legal protection. Slaves had basically none.

Ding ding ding.
It’s not just a braindead insult, there are at least some actual antisemitic assholes in the pro-palestine group. They’re very much a minority, but they exist.

So, when I was in college I made a specific sort of (very very niche) video or audio, for pay. That’s maybe 15-20 years ago.
It was actually pretty fun, but I never did anything in person, which probably helps. I’m (or was) not nearly as good looking as the women here, but I met the highly niche requirements and got paid pretty well.
Better than my parttime job in the library (no, that’s not the niche).

One of the women has a price of “free”. You could try copying that price.
- Comment on Why the Green Cheese Turned White | The cheesemakers didn’t mind that their prized product was changing color, but they were curious about the cause. 5 weeks ago:
Tl;dr: the bacteria that used to give a green color evolved to no longer be green, since it lives in a dark cave. The energy saved by not producing Melanin let’s the white bacteria out compete the green ones

Much more impressive too!

Also, you can totally have a lawn. It’s a great place to Do Things in your garden, and it’s better than bricks or concrete. I can’t host a bbq in between the shrubs after all.
Just, turn the bits where you don’t Do Things into some other plant than lawn grass. At the very least you don’t really need those corners.

Also, depending on where and when in the middle ages, currency would vary hugely and work with several dozens of different coins. Travel to another region would involve money changers, scales, entirely different systems of coinage with (by modern standards) absurd breakdowns of coins and wholly new names and words.
And having pure coins would be easy, so obviously you’d have fun stuff like “new dollars” being worth 7/16th of an “old dollar” because they have less silver in them.
