When talking in a clinical sense, I think we need to standardize on a numerical standard, like body fat percentage or BMI. It's my understanding that people want to get away from BMI because it's crude, and I agree, but communicating in numbers will make things less confusing. Healthy body fat ranges depend on race, gender, and age, but it would still be better than using words the public has coopted to become unclear.

Without knowing the numbers, it's impossible for me to make a judgment call on the release, but it's important to remember that literally everything around you is radioactive. Just because the water has measurable amounts of radioactive material in it does not mean it's unsafe. Ocean water is 3 parts per billion uranium, and yet people happily eat ocean fish.
Again, without knowing the numbers I can't say for sure, but depending on what's in the water (and how much there is) it very well could be entirely fine to dump it.
In any case, yeah I totally agree. It's a publicity stunt.
Programming languages are build around the standard keyboard. Keyboards had most of the symbols you're thinking of from their typewriter days. You can see most of the special characters in these small typewriters from the mid 1900s.

With things like electric Wheel Writer typewriters, adding extra keys and symbols were less of a complexity issue and you started to see a few more extra symbols.

Recognize that there never has been a hard standard for layouts and symbols, just the industry copying and converging on systems that became popular.
Well shit, sign me up!
I have no idea what F-Droid is, but I tried them all and I actually like the UI of the official app the best. It's missing a few features, but they're still improving it and integrating all the features.
There's a few places that didn't get cars until later and "no thank you" was a very common reaction. We really ought to just ban private ownership.
It's not even a burn, if the officer is older they could very well look like that girl's lesbian grandmother. And if they do, so what?
Hello hello hello!
I don't believe it! I don't believe it!
Ah!
No you don't!
Yeach.

I have been wanting one of these things for so fucking long. I can't wait!
I wonder where they're applying them. Presumably not in areas they intend to push through.
BMI is useful for historical population comparisons because you can calculate it using just height and weight and it's already been in use for a very long time. It's so crude as to be very misleading when applied to individuals, especially if you decide to turn your brain off when deciding how to evaluate the information.
The origins of the calculation are immaterial. It's value is in comparative studies, not direct judgement. The actual judgement of "good" vs "bad" BMI numbers is dumb(ish) but it is good for comparing populations across both time and space.
