With suburban sprawl we're not far behind. I'm sure more unnecessary car journeys because we can't have more walkable picturesque New England towns will get us there in time.

Nope that is absolutely correct and a major thing you should do when observing an avalanche. You often float on top of an avalanche until it slows down so you can get a really good idea of where the burial is and that’s a good starting point for a search (you still search the whole area in case there are multiple burials). For me personally, it’s much better to have my eyes on an event, than looking at it through the screen of my phone I’m recording on

Having extensive avy training and being involved in some skier trigger slides, I can give you an honest answer. Far more important than getting good footage is immediately assess for secondary avalanches and determine if you are in a safe zone. Then you want to prepare to switch your own beacon to search mode and initiate a search - but you don’t want to switch if you are at risk of being hit by a secondary avalanche. You want to assess how you are going to safely get to the runout to initiate a search, without avalanching anyone else down there before you. Basically, there are a lot more important things to do than catch good footage when you are near a slide like this. Of course from a curiosity standpoint and an educational standpoint, I also want good footage, but I understand why the cameraman had other things on their mind.

jsyk bmi is a super outdated and inaccurate way to judge someone’s health as it doesn’t factor in things like muscle mass, bone mass, waist size, etc. the creator of the bmi formula was a mathematician, not a physician who said that it shouldn’t be used to indicate how fat someone is or isn’t.

It has nothing to do with "moving" and everything to do with what people are eating. Just eat real, whole foods, no vegetable/seed oils, and nothing processed and you'll be fine. If you eat food from a box or a wrapper, you're fucked.

Doing actual physical resistance training or cardio where you maintain an elevated heart rate is what matters. And diet.

Creating walkable cities is not the problem.

Thank you, this more of less boils down the issue. New Hampshire likely doesn't have a meaningful level fewer bodybuilders than say Mississippi in a way you will see on the population level. I get folks' aversion to BMI. Fat shaming has unfortunately only increased despite it being more and more likely to be overweight which has negative impacts and doesn't lead to positive behavioral change on the whole. There is also no need to throw out metrics where they are useful and when we understand the limitations.

Similarly, as a person that used to be in cognitive performance research, it's both fine to be skeptical of individual results and realize that these tests are very useful for studying cognitive decline over time.
