I took the lowest end measurement of the worst cohort in the study, actually, and even then they did over ten times the amount of walking you claimed. That’s not a ‘bit’ wrong, that’s off by an entire order or magnitude. And for the record, the entire rest of your post is made up as well- the studies are easily available, the fitness bracelet was given to them, it clearly delineates what bracelets are used, and a wide variety of ages, sexes, occupations, etc etc were studied.

Again with the strawman. Nobody said anything about fighting every time time, and nobody especially has said anything about killing anyone. Maybe try reading what people say, instead of just responding to whatever you hallucinate them saying.

Nobody ever said anything about superhuman. Put the strawman away.

The average american walks about 2 miles a day. 22km a week is definitely not 300 meters.

It was a Whole Thing on tiktok, with people filming the altercations/aftermath, to the point of where it became a meme and trended during the olympics.

None of that was an assumption I made, and I also very clearly stated that all of what I said was absent a weapon, like the knife you’re referring to.

Pickpockets typically aren’t trying to run, because that’s INCREDIBLY suspicious, they’re trying to slink away, and they certainly aren’t trying to slip or break a tackle that they probably don’t even see coming- again, they’re not going to be staring at the person they just pickpocketed.

Nobody is trying to pretend Americans are john mcclane. I’m simply pointing out a possible explanation for what has already happened. You can argue all you want, but the fact is, american tourists regularly do catch and win against pickpockets. That’s literally the entire point of this lemmy post.

It’s not going to be a MMA fight between an american and a pickpocket, except the american has to run down and catch the sprinting pickpocketer first, it’s probably going to be some 250lb dude wheezing for breath blindsiding him out of nowhere in something that is more accurately described a high-speed trip into inadvertent body slam, but it’s still gonna work.

I think what you’re missing is that waaay more Americans than you think played sports as a kid (well over 60% of the population iirc), and still know how to tackle someone. Football is huge here, and baseball can get pretty nasty too (source: other kids would see the armor and think ‘well if I can knock the ball out of his glove I’m safe!’)

Yes, there are a lot of obese assholes, but it turns out lugging around an extra 100lb of weight is actually pretty good strength training for the legs. Yes, they’re going to be gassed nigh instantly because their cardio is shit, but they’re probably fast off the mark and weigh enough that just running into you will slam you into the ground pretty badly.

Weight classes exist for a reason, and most Americans are going to be in a much higher weight class than the average pickpocket. Absent any weapons, as long as they can catch them, the American has a decent chance of winning, statistically speaking. Paris pickpockets found that out to their detriment.

Just to jump in here, git submodules and similar are a terrible design pattern that needs killed, not expanded. Create a library properly and stop cutting corners that will bite you in the ass.

Three seperate companies wanting to do it the lazy, wrong way doesn’t suddenly make it a good idea.

Because ‘enemies’ has been narrowly redefined to be a country we are at war with. You’ll notice, of course, that we haven’t declared war since ww2. It’s all been ‘police actions’ and similar.

No, we did not accept any of it. There’s been massive, colossal protests about it all in fact. We don’t like this, and we’ve been TRYING to get it to stop.

The problem is that both parties, the media, and big tech companies are doing everything they can to normalize this shit and pretend that the protests are small, have no momentum, can’t accomplish anything, and it’s already too late.

It’s not.

US citizens do not want this shit.

More to point, the idiots that voted for this while thinking it would happen are a very, very small minority.

And even then, it’s looking reaaaal likely that a significant amount of those votes for this shit were faked.

My man, if you slapped something at 32,000 miles per hour, you don’t have a hand to cook anymore :P

Ahhh, ok. Never seen it, I’m afraid.

Nope, it’s a real thing. Granted, I mostly see it used when a meeting ends 30-40 minutes early.

Bruh, go touch some grass.

It doesn’t really matter how good of a web dev you are, you really shouldn’t be changing any part of someone else’s website… They tend to do things like call the police on you for “hacking” and other such frivolities /s

At a guess, Trump cuts.

You are actually philosophically in the wrong here- you should take a look at the paradox of tolerance.

A tolerant, just person MUST NOT tolerate intolerance.

So part of it is that it was only 2 discs partially for marketing reasons, partially because of limitations of how discs work (ironically enough, other than storage size, carts are magnitudes better for gaming compared to discs.) Discs often have to have multiple copies of the exact same content in multiple places because of physical/spacial concerns on the disc regarding load times.

Part of it is, yes, slightly reduced texture fidelity and sound quality, but you’re sleeping on the compression- they actually invented an entirely new compression mechanism for the FMVs that was effectively magic. Add that into a bunch of tricks they did to take advantage of the n64 being vastly more powerful than the ps1, and the ability to take advantage of cartridges having insta-load capabilities, they were able to release a version of RE2 that had better controls, slightly less graphical fidelity, less z-index jutter, better animations, surround sound, more lore, VASTLY better load times, and did I mention better controls, because god damn does that need to be mentioned lol… in 9% of the space.
