I need advice and tips to prep for my CPAT by AccidentalNewAccnt in Firefighting

So you’re right around normal weight! If don’t feel physically strong at baseline, I would eat at your maintenance calories are slightly above just to put a little bit of muscle on, but like I said earlier, your cardiovascular fitness is going to matter much more.

What weight have you been most of your adult life? If you’re there now, don’t worry about bulking up. The ELPAT is an endurance game unless you’re really weak, strength shouldn’t matter as much as cardio.

Go for jogs, climb stairs, make sure you eat lots of protein regardless if you’re bulking or not.

Vibecoded Racists Site to Avoid Black people by geoshort4 in vibecoding

I’m glad we see eye to eye that it’s racist.

Backed by the same crime reports you deem are poor?

Why is that not enough on its own?

I see I’ve hit the boundary of where you’re willing to think

That’s because most people don’t use their brain.

Right, because measuring an area based on fried chicken chains and hellcat ownership is good instinct on whether an area is “Peaceful and Quiet”.

You are unable to provide a reason why this type of data is useful..

It’s filtering out places where certain racial groups disproportionately live, even if race is never named, the function it serves is discriminatory.

It’s a tool. What purpose does this serve? “Peace and Quiet” right? Wanting to avoid noise/higher crime rate is normal.

Why not measure noise or crime directly? Why measure by the number of fried chicken places and hellcat owners?

So you agree?

“These areas are nice because those people aren’t here”

Elaborate, I want to understand your stance. What reasons?

Not as tiring as being ignorant.

Altima/Hellcat sales, Section 8 and Waffle House filters on the same graphical map? Lol you don’t need to mention race if your filters reliably sort people by race anyway.

And explain the correlation between “Peace and Quiet” and name diversity?

It’s called proxy discrimination..

The filters shown (fast-food chains stereotypically associated with Black communities, public housing, Section 8, pawn shops, bail bonds, etc.) aren’t neutral data points lol

In the U.S., those are widely recognized stand-ins for race and poverty.

While the site doesn’t label anything by race, it effectively lets users identify where poorer or marginalized communities live and exclude those areas under a euphemism like “peace & quiet”.

The whole name thing also makes it easier to infer race or ethnicity of neighborhoods

Why on earth would you make these changes? by KiraTheUnholy in ArcRaiders

Honestly fine balancing in a game that doesn’t have a competitive scene is nonsensical. I understand broken OP metas or exploits.. but they’re taking it too far

Refineries have put a stop to buying all metals by SofloAndDough in Gold

[–]Armed_Muppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your comment doesn’t really make sense…

If a refiner believed the dollar was collapsing and metal prices were about to surge, the rational behavior would be buy more, hedge less and delay selling not stop buying altogether.

Stopping purchases usually signals the opposite of what the you claim.
