The author's used statistical control methods for socioeconomic factors.

Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to measure the strength of associations between adolescent cannabis use and incident psychiatric diagnoses, with adjustments for sex, race and ethnicity, neighborhood deprivation index, insurance type, and time-varying alcohol and other substance use.

I think this is the study. They controlled statistically for a variety of factors that various people in this post are assuming had interactions.

Also, the author's are from a variety of reputable universities and institutions in California.

I feel the pressure a lot. Some pressure to be healthy is good, but the image of what's healthy and reasonable is very skewed.

I'm on the lean side of ideal if this chart is real https://naturalremedyideas.com/body-fat-percentage-chart/. Even still, I feel this pressure to cut

Yeah. Sometimes just exciting the train station, it things I have to exit and walk around a huge loop to get to the other side

Yeah I noticed this too. They know the speed limit because the app shows it, but then intentionally estimate you going faster

I think Google should have enough data by now though. If you put a residential address in, probably easy to park.

If someone puts in a theatre and then spends 20 min driving around the center/downtown, they are probably parking. Then you can count the walking time at well.

Same for someone parking at giant American Walmart with a huge lot. Google can track and already tell what mode of vehicle you are using. They do the statistics to estimates parking times under various conditions.

It won't solve it in rural places, but even in Europe people sometimes thing driving is faster, when it's not. In California cities, I remember buses were often very fast, but people don't believe it because they go off Google maps and ignore parking

So I've noticed that Google maps always adds walking time into public transport routes, but never accounts for parking and walking when driving.

I like it feel like this gives the impression that public transport is slower, when 9/10 driving with friends we waste a ton of time parking and walking.

If Google maps and Waze showed parking and walking estimates, it would level the playing field and possibly have a dramatic effect on public transport usage.

Something that will chop vegetables for soup. Ideally something high quality, so I don't need to replace it for a long time

The article says this

Sen. Wyden’s proposed Billionaires Income Tax (BIT) would tax the wealth gains of billionaires and those with consistent income above $100 million. Currently, such investment gains are only taxed if the underlying asset is sold. But the ultrawealthy don’t have to sell to benefit. They can secure low-interest loans secured against their rising fortunes and live luxuriously tax-free. Under Wyden’s plan, such wealth-growth income would be taxed every year just like worker wages are now. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimated this proposal would raise $557 billion in new revenue over the next decade from just a small number of ultra-wealthy oligarchs.

I don't like wealth tax for a number of reasons, but a capital gains tax on unrealized gains that phases in after a certain amount seems very fair. The phasing in is important because average people's homes and other assets should be untouched imo, but after a certain amount of unrealized income it should be.

I'd also suggest taxing secured low interest loans as a form of realized capital gains.

I would also suggest allowing taxes to be paid in stock shares (eg. not USD). It might prevent liquidity market issues

Yeah. I got it because it was free for me and I was pretty confident I didn't have it. Seemed like a no downside thing.

Better at 14, but you can still do it later

It can be administered at anytime. It's usually given at 14 because most people aren't sexually active before then.

If you are older, it can still help. If you are a man without contact with HPV, you could become immune.

I could be wrong, but I got it at 30 even after having partners.

Do you have a link to the law?

Orban is polling at 103% of the vote though. Hungarians love him!

On a serious note, will there be independent vote counting?

I noticed Lidl Pay today, but it only supports Visa/MasterCard, at least in my country.

My banks don't support WERO yet, but I was wondering if there are any technical impediments to using WERO as a payment method in Lidl Pay.

If not, it seems like an easy win to push Lidl into WERO.

Looking for a used bookstore like Abebooks, but not Amazon owned. Preferably with a large children's selection

Occasionally I have a couple weeks that are really hard and I feel little to no progress.

Are there any methods for breaking through a plateau?

Benefit of AI? (lemmy.world)

Maybe I'm seeing shadows in the clouds, but it seems like AI means a lot more people have been building open source tools.

I'm an AI skeptic, but I'm wondering if this can help undermine some of the shit software industry. Most AI tools sold by companies have an open source alternative.

I'm thinking that maybe AI will accidentally allow the private person to build free tools and reduce the market value of sold tools.

API access? (lemmy.world)

I have content on a mastodon account I would like to replicate over. I couldn't see how to get an API key in Loops. Is this possible yet?

Investment funds (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for ex-US investment funds, including bonds. My goals are

  1. Low cost broad index ETF
  2. Non-USD hedged (preferably not currency hedged at all)
  3. Equities, government bonds, corporate bonds, etc.
  4. US citizen compatible or UCITS (I want to recommend to Americans)

Civil law notarial acts can be executed immediately. Meaning seizing money or property without a court.

Does the US allow private parties to have a legally executable contract that could be executed without a court?

I was wondering why people warm up in sweatshirts. I guess it helps

I'm looking for a super warm winter coat that will last me forever. Something that will keep me warm around -30 C. I'm thinking military surplus, because it should theoretically be more durable (right?).

Price isn't a huge issue if the quality is worth it.
