smoking is often statistically associated with substance abuse and bad health - which increases the likelihood of major trauma events, but on the other hand smokers die earlier,leaving more old people to walk in front of vehicles due to reduced cognitive abilities)
So what about if we control for age? Are old smokers more or less likely to get hit by a bus than old non-smokers?
Quick, someone do an RCT.
I’ve never survived being hit by a bus, and I don’t smoke. Checkmate, atheists.
Also you’re more likely to be milling around outside
Ohhhh, now I get it! I thought that meant it would make my cupboard colder.
Putin puts out call for Americans to conscript and fight in Ukraine?
Once I parsed the whole thing it was, in fact, understandable. But, yeah, a few steps shy of “concise” I think.
When a politician from the Hard Neoliberal faction within the “Not quite as Rightwing but certainly not Leftwing” Party of the duopoly of power in Britain (which, like the US, also has First Past The Post and associated evils) comes with something like this, especially one who has a history of abusing this kind of accusation in the past to deflect valid criticism of her own words (just like Zionists - who curiously this Party unwaveringly supports - use the accusation of “anti-semitism” to deflect valid criticism), be very very wary of the honesty, goodwill and fairness of this.

The case was made that Islam allows divorce and your reply was that “someone should tell the Muslims”
Still works in your house, but you might have to make the problematic person leave.
It’s probably aware of them, but generally no. Most slopes for driving on are smooth enough to be pretty negligible unless you’re going hundreds of miles or more, in which case fives of miles won’t make much difference either.
But if you’re traveling by bike those small slopes may make some parts of the ride significantly more difficult or easier, and for cars may impact fuel efficiency in a way much more significant than just counting the extra distance traveled. So many navigation systems will still account for slope, even if they don’t necessarily acknowledge the length of your path as precisely as you may have hoped

The book was kind of all over the place, couldn’t seem to pick a thread and follow it until halfway through, and then they kill off the main character and the rest is just lectures and moralizing? It had a fun bit at the end, though.
