Are the warrants legitimate? Are any of the claims made by DHS or ICE to be trusted? This is a legitimate question because I don’t follow boxing and just assume at this point that anything ICE/DHS says is lies.

It’s entirely possible that this is because of the 3,000/day quota they were set. If they deport them rather than just let them leave then they can credit that as a ‘deportation’.

Nah, Wisconsin has weather that requires more cautious driving a big chunk of the year.

A lot of the higher end states from the US in the graph are in southern parts of the country which are largely red politically which likely means reduced safety regulations, and have more consistent road conditions and weather through the year.

That makes sense but if you isolate it down to only the immigrant populations that data lends itself to the theory of ethnic background, or really genetic background, being a better indicator.

The Netherlands has an immigrant population of about 4.8 million out of ~17.8 while the US has about 53.3 million out of ~340.1 million and that’s only counting foreign born.

In the end, I still speculate that ethnic/genetic background is a better indicator than country as this graph shows.

Anecdotally, I’m an American male who is 6’ 1" and my ancestral ethnicity is mostly German with a bit of Swiss. Growing up my friends were the same, mostly having German or Scandinavian ancestry, and I was the short one in the friend group. My friends all ranged from 6’ 2" up to 6’ 9".

I figured it would be hard to determine statistically, but figured it was worth mentioning for consideration.

The UK has a population that’s 72% British/Irish. The Netherlands has a population that’s 74% Dutch.

The 5 largest ethnic groups in the United States are White (Non-Hispanic) (58.2%), Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (12%), Two+ (Hispanic) (6.84%), Other (Hispanic) (6.11%), and Asian (Non-Hispanic) (5.75%).

There are lots of factors that can influence height but about 80% of an individual’s height is determined by genetics and certain populations, like those in the Dinaric Alps (including parts of Eastern Europe), are predisposed to taller statures.

For example, Uganda is generally considered the most ethnically diverse country and the average male height there is 5’ 6.4" which is really close to the global average. Correlation by itself doesn’t equal causation but it’s a good place to start.

Eh, fuck this whole family.

Why? What is the point of this comment or wishing bad things on these children, or this woman? Why support this behavior of targeting immigrants at all?

I’ve never used Torguard but I’m guessing it’s probably pretty good too? The only ones I hear about a lot are the big ones (NordVPN and the like) and I’m always leery of the really large, common and corporate used VPN services.

I ended up on Mullvad 7-8 years ago because of the recommendation of a SysAdmin I worked with at the time.

Ok, so I understand that but how does this fit in:

Ethnic diversity is higher in US than in Indonesia.

In the US, a country with greater ethnic diversity than Indonesia, the height is close to the global average, whereas in Indonesia it is significantly below. Correlation ≠ Causation but that statement does more to support the idea that ethnic diversity plays a role than it does to dispute it.

If anything it says with increasing diversity height gets closer to global average which seems pretty reasonable.

Same here. With increasing diversity (e.g. the US) height gets closer to global average versus a country with less diversity (“diversity is higher in US than in Indonesia”) where the average height is likely more representative of strictly ethnic Indonesians.

Again, I understand Correlation ≠ Causation but that’s why I posted my comment as a question rather than a statement. That maybe this graph is skewed because it fails to account for that diversity and instead of going by country it would make more sense to go by ethnic background?

Isn’t global male height supposed to be about 5’ 7" on average? The closest to that on the graph is the US, which has a very diverse population.

I’m still not understanding your original comment “Not necessarily. Ethnic diversity is higher in US than in Indonesia.”

It seems like you’re saying ethnic diversity isn’t necessarily a consideration in why the heights of the UK and US are where they are but then support the theory with the next sentence pointing out the ethnic diversity of the US.

I did indeed but I’m glad you saw it because you put exactly how I’ve felt about Lemmy into words.

Mullvad does this nicely with lockdown mode. It’s also really inexpensive and you can pay anonymously so the only record they have is your customer ID number.

I’m confused. Wouldn’t that support the theory?

If lower in ethnic diversity and native Indonesians are naturally short then Indonesia would be shorter on average. Whereas the US, being such a melting pot, would have a greater range of heights bringing the overall average down, right?

I wonder how this correlates with ethnic diversity in the population?

Is the Netherlands average high because of a lack there and are the UK and US lower because of greater ethnic diversity in the population?

If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.

This is so accurate I thought it worth acknowledging and repeating.

I’m a 20 year round and also sleep with a fan on in the winter. Here the average temp during the coldest month of the winter is around -12°C.

Have an upvote because same.

I have around the house clothes (a t-shirt and gym shorts in summer, sweatpants in winter) that end up next to the bed at night.

Underwear goes in the hamper.

I’ve had to get up and go outside in the middle of the night before because of the dog and I either just thrown those clothes on sans underwear or wear the robe on a hook next to the bed.

Any other Circus Pizza folks here? Bring that back along with Rock-afire Explosion for adults and I’m in!

While not balanced, this isn’t such a bad meal unless you assume it’s all as processed as it looks.

If it’s all homemade it wouldn’t be that hard to make any of these “healthy” in comparison to their store bought counterparts.

As for it being bad because it’s a “regular dinner for this imaginary person”, I’m guessing you’re unfamiliar with ARFID. I know of at least one person who has eaten like this for 40+ years and regular gets healthy results on his annual physical and tests.

Exactly! My drives are all sitting at about 40°C but they’ll get up to 50°C at the hottest.

I run a fan because I have it in a wall mounted case but when I had it on a shelf it wasn’t actively cooled and never got higher than it does now.

It is in our basement though and it’s only ever gotten to 27°C down there a few times and that was without A/C.
