parkrun is absolutely brilliant. Actually welcoming to all abilities—many clubs don't have a pace group for the very slowest of runners, parkrun has a sweeper who walks to ensure that they're absolutely last—socialization afterwards if that's your thing, dependable, and truly community driven. I realize I'm just reiterating the article but take it as personal confirmation.

My conclusion from watching a lot of Penn and Teller is that when you're invited to examine the deck it probably is normal and often the trick will involve a force.

The guidelines for taking blood pressure state you should be sitting quietly for 5 minutes beforehand, something that almost never happens at the doctor's.


Mine constantly asks me questions during my measurements. I thought one wasn't supposed to be talking during the readings either?


A PA explained to me once: they’re taught you have to sneak quietly into a room where the patient has been sitting in the dark listening to soothing music for 15 minutes and take their BP measurement without them noticing. Goals.


You are kidding but having hypertension issues for years, I can confirm you that tension is a highly-dynamic value that can change in few minutes for a lot of reasons. Here the standard toi


There's more evidence that taking with lying down is better.


Hard not to notice the squeeze from a pressure cuff.


Numb the arm by having the patient sit calmly with their left arm in an ice bath.


Sitting for minutes in extreme discomfort definitely won't change your BP! ;0)


This is a meme that fails to understand the actual, in practice limitations of BMI. The problem is that it underdiagnoses obesity, not that it overdiagnoses it. The problem isn't the nonexistent horde of lean muscular people with BMI > 25, it's all the clinically obese people with BMI < 30 thinking that yeah they're overweight but it's not that bad, they're not obese.

It doesn't take that much muscle for men to get high BMIs


It's really easy for a healthy man to get BMI >25 with a few months of weight lifting. Frankly, denial and downplaying of this fact just increases skepticism of BMI and the people who say it's a relevant metric.


The problem with BMI in practice is that it underdiagnoses obesity. W:H fixes that. If BMI says you're obese, you're very likely to be obese.

Buttered noodles are good, I have no a priori reason that simple oil wouldn't be also.


Butter emulsifies into a sauce just from the residual heat of the spaghetti (and some mechanical action - stirring, pan flip, etc)

Oil needs a bit more help, otherwise it's just grease on noodles. The starchy water the pasta was cooked in can do most of the heavy lifting there, but the addition of garlic helps too.


Get a bike ;)


Went looking for and could not find an example of the generated test payloads.


Author here. It generates valid API requests based on your OpenAPI description. It also has generators that try to add meaningful values in the generated fields. You can do a simple run to see how it goes for your API on a single endpoint with the HappyPath playbook: `dochia test -c api.yaml -s http://localhost:8080 --path /test-path --playbook Happy`.


GP is asking for the non sketchy way, that lets them use their outlets etc. Which is not trivial because if you still want to be connected to the grid you need to make sure you don't feed power back into it when it's not expected, like during a power outage.


I'm a mid-packer in the triathlons I participate in, so pretty fit. I definitely notice the energy difference between having eaten breakfast or not, in the everyday (non-training) context. It's not a hunger thing (I'd miss breakfast most days if I didn't literally schedule it) and I can do my strength training and short intervals to the same performance fasted as fed. But I am aware of it.
