State of the Game

I always thought that "Full English" sounded somewhat naughty. Oh how disappointed I was when I found out. Tasted awesome, though, even though I could definitely have done without the beans. Only beans I eat are refried.
make them mushy beans and it will be fine.

well, the full in full english ... have it every day and it is a full-on attack to your health - if you survive though, you are quite british.

It would be refreshing if science journalists were mostly scientists!
Don't be absurd! That'd be like journos writing hysteria mongering articles about firearms actually knowing the next thing about them!

My all time favorite was an elaborate diagram of an AR-15 I found in the "Washington Post" with an arrow to the front sling mount, calling it a "bayonet mount." Best of luck with that. I mean, I suppose you could mount one on it with a bit of creative engineering, but I don't much think that a bayonet dangling vertically from the front of your rifle would serve much of a purpose. :ROFLMAO:

(I know a few obese people who cycle huge distances every day, do martial arts who still get crap even from doctors based on BMI, which is appalling for individual health assessment)
Don't get me started on the BMI, one of the most medically useless terms I've ever known, based as it is purely on a body mass/height ratio. For starters, muscle is heavier than fat. Oh. That's it, really. So if you're a super-athlete with muscles that almost have their own gravitational field, you're going to be "morbidly obese" by your BMI.

It was never meant to be, at least I like to think so, anything but a very, very general guideline specifically aimed at the general population with average body muscle/fat ratio, yet it's being treated as Holy Scripture by the always ignorant media. Besides, you don't need a fancy index to tell whether somebody is obese or not.

You make me out to be some kind of stalker... Just a lazy one that's always a little too far behind to see, but you know I'm out there....
 
Don't be absurd! That'd be like journos writing hysteria mongering articles about firearms actually knowing the next thing about them!

My all time favorite was an elaborate diagram of an AR-15 I found in the "Washington Post" with an arrow to the front sling mount, calling it a "bayonet mount." Best of luck with that. I mean, I suppose you could mount one on it with a bit of creative engineering, but I don't much thing that a bayonet dangling vertically from the front of your rifle would serve much of a purpose. :ROFLMAO:
Just looked it up - AR-15 has an effective firing range of 500m.... half a kilometer!! Something has gone very much amiss if you need a bayonet... held on with duct tape... 😏
(Sorry.... just think of a meter as a slightly superior slightly longer yard... 😂)
 
Oh...I meant "best defense against sandworms"...yeah I'll go with that instead....
Someone say sandworms??

It's a difficult one isn't it? Fat and fit beats relatively thin and indolent, but then there are those that come with "oh my knee hurts" at 25 stone... no sh..urprise, Sherlock! But then where do we allow prejudice to stop? Smokers get COPD/cancer, alcoholics get liver failure... but I ride horses and have had some interesting dismounts needing hospital treatment, rugby players break bones, skiers break clavicles, even knitters get RSI... where do we draw the line at "self inflicted"?
It IS a difficult one, to be sure. Or else we might end up demanding that everybody stay in a bubble all time (with a sensible treadmill inside and a fully balanced diet every day), and at what point does life then become not worth living? To my mind, very personally here, it all comes down to knowing the risks, fully, and then not complaining about it when the dice roll doesn't come out in your favor.

You only get one life, after all. Enjoy it. Just try to stay informed about the risks involved in what you do, don't hurt anybody else with your choices, and don't whine if the odds turn against you.
