As far as I understand, the line gets even blurrier then that. Apparently quiet a lot of the subsections of your brain do things that can be interpreted as conciseness, but we experience it as one unified thing.
I’ve bounced off GitHub more than once trying to figure out how to download the .exe file that I assumed must be somewhere. Honestly I still don’t understand the interface and I’ve submitted bug reports for Jeroba on there. I might have even used GitHub for a project once? Every time I look at it it’s overwhelming and confusing and none of it is self-explanatory. But, that’s fairly true for a lot of stuff in programming.
I couldn’t find any information as to why, but playing around with other symbols suggests it only does it with symbols where they assume the space isn’t supposed to be there. E.G. Colon, ending parenthesis, equals sign, etc. Digging around in the settings I couldn’t find any option to disable this functionality.
Folks elsewhere suggested switching to the Swype keyboard, but I don’t have personal experience with it in a very long time so I don’t know anything about the settings and automatic behavior.
In case you haven’t been to a library in a while (yes I know this post is a joke) they do way more than just books these days. Depending on the library you’ll get music, movies, videogames, computers, photography equipment, 3D printers, laser cutters, audio visual equipment, recording studios, meeting rooms, and probably other shit I’m forgetting about. Smaller libraries are obviously more likely to stick to the basics, but my suburban library where I used to live had nearly everything I mentioned.
While race is mostly a social construct, it’s easier to use race as shorthand for “populations with long-term historical ancestry in a loosely defined geographical area, accepting that population mixing has been occurring since the dawn of time and will continue to do so into the future” than it is to say that whole thing every time
BUT, it’s my understanding that, for example, Pacific Islanders are generally healthy at a higher body fat percentage than other groups of humans.
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.
