  • There’s a lot going on here, so I won’t try to respond to all of it.

    My point is merely that there are population clusters with genetic differences. It’s incorrect to say that we are all human, therefore scientifically we are all the same. In aggregate, the people of Japan are not the same as the people of Ireland. (This paragraph makes zero claims about individuals; it is scoped to large groups of people.)

    I just want to clarify that I’m not claiming that “race” per se is a thing, nor am I claiming that there are any mutually-incompatible human species. I’m not attempting to say anything about nationality, country borders, or deportations. The political madness happening in the USA is truly disgusting. I am deeply saddened by the cruelty and hatred that’s on display.

    My annoyance with the chip cards was that some of the POS machines would say

    DO NOT REMOVE CARD

    for a long time before silently switching to

    REMOVE CARD

    without any other visual cues than two words in 10pt font disappearing. Like c’mon, change the background color from red to blue or something.



  • Chart showing average height, but incorrectly scales the entire person instead of just the height, …

    The sin committed here was that the y axis began at something other than zero. If you scaled just their height without fixing the y axis, everyone except the Dutch would look like little clay men getting squished by a hydraulic press.
