@WorldwithStats What is the WHO source for this? It doesn't match at all the WHO European Regional Obesity Report 2022.

First aid courses, including CPR training, should be taught in all schools as a mandatory part of the curriculum. Maybe at around Year 6 or 7.

@Jontafkasi @anon_opin I actually disagree. The shift from black & white to colour was an instant with huge impact. But smartphones slowly got more internet-enabled and we'd had internet on computers/laptops for a while, so it was less of a sudden 'Wow!'.
English
For anyone in their late 50s or so the moment you saw your first colour TV in your own home is the biggest leap in technology that you will ever experience. Nothing will ever come close. Everything since then is simply diminishing returns.

@ZeusODea Look, I wanted Falcons to lose too.

@eberlmat In fairness, his next tweet links to the two studies.

@Psythor Wouldn't surprise me if in the next decade there was a notable reduction in crime which gets lots of arguments about credit and in reality is just this, much as burglar alarms and CCTV cut robberies/burglaries kinda by default.

It's amazing how absolutely pervasive this AI camera technology has become in just a few years and nobody talks about it like it is anything different.

@Mr_John_Oxley This sort of reaction is why we've never had an imaginary female Prime Minister. The imaginary glass ceiling holds back imaginary women.

@hopisen I've always wondered why all endurance athletes don't shave their head to cool off a bit compared to the insulation of hair. Seems the sweating and heat is a real issue, but they don't feel it would be worth it.
English
I’d love to have explanation of why sprint athletes are willing to carry extra weight in watches/jewellery or accept drag resist of long hair (or for distance runners useless weight, esp when wet). I’m sure they know, and it’s not significant, but maths wld be interesting!

@Samfr Can't believe we went so long without this sport in the Olympics. It's great!

GOLD NUMBER 14 FOR GB
MEDAL NUMBER 52
19 year old Toby Roberts wins the first ever Olympic lead/boulder competition.
Stunning performance on the lead wall.

OLYMPICS UPDATE THREAD - DAY 14
A very creditable 6th place to Hector Pardoe in the marathon swim. Finishing fast but too far off the medal winning group to catch up.
Gold to Hungary.
English
@Samfr Hope you are enjoying the climbing. Looks like McArthur will fall just short but not impossible for him, one error by a couple of people and he stays in the medals. All down to Toby's lead run which could put him anywhere.
English
Nafi Thiam got 54.04 in the heptathlon javelin. That gives her a lead of 121 points over KJT. Which is equivalent to 8.3 seconds in the 800m. The difference between their PBs is around 6 seconds (in KJT's favour).
So Thiam is ahead but it's not impossible for KJT.

@Sam_Dumitriu Forgotten, you mean? Because I didn't remember that until your tweet reminded me.
English
Remember when MPs started calling for a ban on BlackBerry Messenger during the London Riots?
The calls to curb Social Media Anonymity will be seen in a similar light.

@DavidHerdson You know who else lost the popular vote three times? Winston Churchill.
Checkmate.

Quick reminder that with Biden out of the race, Trump is now the oldest major-party candidate in the 236 year history of US presidential elections.
He also has the chance to become the first since Adlai Stevenson in the 1950s to lose twice.
English
Trump is clearly still so pissed off that Biden has withdrawn.
But Harris will keep to the narrative of Trump running away and her supporters will no doubt suggest reasons as to why, most obviously that he fears how he'd do.
I think he'll continue to duck it and it'll cost him.

Donald Trump backs out of a previously scheduled presidential debate on ABC after Kamala Harris replaces Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket. Now he says he’ll agree to debate Harris if it’s hosted by Fox News in a “full arena audience.”
English
The Senate/White House splits in polls are still eye-popping with Harris on the ballot paper.

@NathanpmYoung I agree his tweet is ill-judged, but I think he is suggesting he disagrees with PredictIt and people are giving it too much weight.
English
What is @gelliottmorris talking about?
He acts as if voters and political actors can't change in response to unfavourable forecasts.
"why even hold the election?" Because the GOP can still change their strategy. The Dems did this a week ago. It worked.
I don't get him.
English
@Samfr Even better how the tree coverage meant we didn't see him closing the gap until he was only a few seconds behind.
English
GOLD NUMBER FIVE
MEDAL NUMBER FIFTEEN
Somehow Alex Yee came from 14 seconds behind on the last lap to beat Hayden Wilde in the last 400 metres.
I was sure he was beaten. Incredible run.

If, and it's a big If, Harris maintains positive approval ratings up to election day you'd have to suspect that would translate to a solid popular vote win. Trump has never been a very popular candidate, he was just more popular than Biden who had awful approvals by mid-2024.

@ZeusODea Been a fair few scandals. Life (SC2), iBuyPower (CSGO), and others. Although following the big scenes they seem clean at the top by and large. Dodgy results with widespread suspicion not common.
