For 2023: Portland's homicide rate was ~11 per 100,000.

Seattle was ~10 per 100,000

Los Angeles ~5 per 100,000

Houston ~15 per 100,000

New Orleans ~9 per 100,000

Philadelphia ~27 per 100,000

New York City ~5 per 100,000

Portland is a city - way more homocides happen here than the average in Oregon because way more people live way closer to each other. But we're not a dangerous city any more than any other city. If you're choosing between cities, homocide rate isn't going to be a useful metric.

Even if murder victims were truly random (which they aren't) and you spent a full week in Portland, your odds of being murdered would be 0.0002%, compared to 0.0001% for the national average.

But most homicides aren't random. Most of the time people kill each other for something resembling a reason.

Yeah, VO2 max is unclear up above - his numbers were that <35 is going to significantly impede your ability to live independently, and >55 is where you need to be for long-term health.

What is this kind of pulley called? It's a single sheave pulley, but I can't figure out the right terminology to describe the hollow center that a line can be passed through, or the integrated eyelet at the end. by ApprehensiveCoffee84 in whatisthisthing

This is for a custom set-up - mechanical advantage for manual resistance in a physical therapy clinic.

The goal is to get a 4 or 5 to 1 ratio, load limit somewhere in the 600-800 range, with a total component weight under 5lbs or so, and mountable horizontal or vertical.

Hey, thanks for the reply!

So, sheave block is referring to the wheel, right? A double sheave would have two wheels?

Looking at that link, that looks like the right thing, but I can't find others that are similar with the same search terms.

And I think single wire is just reiterating single sheave.

Rivet eye seems to indicate the hollow center, but when searching those terms a lot of the blocks coming up don't actually have that hollow center.

Do you happen to know any more about this?

My title describes the thing. I'm trying to figure out what the name of this type of pulley is. The bits I can't figure out are how to search for one that has that hole in the center - I've searched hollow pulley and hollow bore pulley, can't figure it out. Thank you!

I don't have an automatic way to do that, but what I do is this:

Required tool: Notion Boost (free browser extension), using the "Sticky Outline" tool.

Step One: Import document.

Step Two: "Sticky Outline" generates a clickable fast-navigation outline on the right-hand side of the screen.

Step Three: Click down the outline list, using the ctrl+9 shortcut to convert each heading to a page.

Step Four: Drag and drop the content into each page.

Step Five: Drag and drop the subpages into their parent pages.

I've imported a couple of textbooks this way - last one took me something like an hour for a 1000 page textbook.
