- Comment on Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn 3 weeks ago:
Wait, you’re telling me that cooling the planet won’t bring back destroyed homes? I don’t believe you.
Oh boy. I don’t think you understand how bad it’s gonna be. It’s entire ecosystems that are being destroyed. You can’t just rebuild them. Some ecosystems like rainforests or coral reefs are a lot more sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

- Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index 4 weeks ago:
BMI is the best measure we have for statistical purposes (i.e., a population) because it’s been around for 50(?) years and is what is often used in studies, so you can compare one study to another using BMI.
It’s also not terrible for a population because it averages out. But for an individual it is definitely not a good measure because there are way too many other variables that matter.

- Comment on New solar carport opens at 4,300 meters on Mount Everest 2 months ago:
Remember that the 14 tallest peaks in the world are over 8 km from sea level. So 4,300m is definitely not near the summit.
The article really sucks on details, but some quick googling tells me that the two base camps are above 5,100m, so this must be below even that.
