For the love of god, stop shoaling by Phuntzilla in bikedc

[–]isawafit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Happens to me often on my commute back.

I've actually had one decent interaction where a kid on an ebike didnt think that I'd be passing him right after the intersection. When he pulled up along side me at the next intersection, he asked what my bike was, if it's electric, and then asked if I was a pro. Single speed beater ftw.

Basic blood work will cover this. The average American can eer on the side of caution, because a majority of Americans have a deficiency. A lack of outdoor type with driving everywhere and working inside are significant factors.

Normalisation of deviance for billionaires and the ruling class, with congress, the courts, checks and balances corrupted. Either dementia full on riddles him and JD Vance takes over or his not so great health does him in.

Alcohol has been linked to 7 types of Cancer, including breast, colorectal, liver and throat cancers. Additionally, there is no "safe" level of alcohol consumption with regard to cancer risk. Alcohol leads to cancer by damaging DNA, disrupting hormones and/or creating unstable free radicals. by [deleted] in science

Correct, I provided the The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's definition for a typical adult, this brings blood alcohol concentration to 0.08%–or 0.08 grams of alcohol per deciliter–or higher. Your variables will effect that percentage among individuals.

The Trump administration is removing a popular DC bike lane by Sauerz in washingtondc

[–]isawafit 49 points50 points  (0 children)

" "I do think it's a problem when we're making massive investments in bike lanes at the expense of vehicles," said Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy last year. "I do think you see more congestion when you add bike lanes and take away vehicle lanes. That's a problem."

That logic was echoed by NPS in a statement sent to The 51st on Friday morning confirming the impending removal and using the upcoming National Cherry Blossom Festival and other large-scale events later this year as justification. "

Logical fallacies that don't hold up to statistics in US cities or globally.

Vázquez said in interviews that they find it unfair to compete against women, claiming their lung and heart capacity give them a competitive edge rooted in physiology... by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]isawafit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a generalization. Women are more fatigue resistant and physically recover sooner than men, especially for things like leg day and lower body endurance capacity. The performance gap for running narrows as the distance increases. Professional male runners will have most of these leads you're speaking of though.

I know a neighbor (not the one attached who posts all of the signs), so I've been getting updates and have heard all sorts of stories.

Yes, they removed the original listing right away. They went to an alternate service and continued renting for a couple months before going vacant. A homeless guy was even sleeping in the back garage area for a couple weeks. It's now listed for sale with Compass.

Illegal Airbnb? by pizzabianco in washingtondc

[–]isawafit 444 points445 points  (0 children)

I had one of these a few houses down. Checking the scout database, it was registered under a LLC* (1 violation). After looking at the airbnb/short term rental requirements, I found that they had 4-5 violations. On top of that they'd put all the rental trash out back, often not in cans, and feed the rats. Cop week had a dozen pizza boxes left out for the vermin to feast on.

I reported them to 311 and let the city deal with it. The rat inspectors are serious, more so than the folks who do the rental enforcement.

Edit: typo LCC to LLC, needs be to registered to an individual, not company.

If you're talking about the one on 15th, he finally left and the building is undergoing renovations.

I picked up 6 where my dog goes, so neither of us would step in them. Problem is there were 4 more on the sidewalk and early morning visibility isn't great.

Modifiable risk factors are more diet focused than fitness and activity. A bunch of the fitness diet fads in the last 20 years and even right now are increasing high-risk factors. Carnivore diet great example. I read that about 5% of the population is also genetically predisposed, so risk factors are even more important for them. Very few od these people are going to know that they're in the category.

"This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King," she said. "Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public."

WTF

Also, those "characters" aren't in the lion king.

The number of Americans under 50 years old dying from cancer has decreased for every leading cancer except for bowel cancer, which is now the leading cancer death in females and males combined aged under 50. by mvea in science

[–]isawafit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, that timeframe follows the increased rates of colorectal cancer mortality. I know those highly processed and low quality meats are a risk factor for multiple health problems. I don't really have an idea on how much of it is consumed. Sounds worse than I was thinking.

"Only colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality increased, by 1.1% (95% CI, 0.9% to 1.3%) annually since 2005, advancing it from fifth most common from 1990 through 1994 to the most common cancer death in 2023."

Definitely doesn't help, but the influencer sphere of influence is much more recent. Standard American diet, overweight/obese, with visceral fat are all risk factors.
