I think it would be good to make the highest HDI values the bluest, rather than it getting visually closer to grey again as you go from 0.85 up to 0.95. That's confusing.

I think the bigger problem with maps a few decades ago was that most people didn't have access to detailed maps of most places near them, so had to rely on bad directions and guesswork to get them where they needed to go. Even now, I almost never use any type of sat nav because I can generally memorise the route to anywhere I'm going from a map in a few seconds, but I still need to see the map in the first place and that wasn't possible 20 years ago!

The majority of famous sportspeople who have gone on to develop ALS were boxers or played rugby, football (soccer), football (gridiron) or ice hockey. Otherwise known as the sports where you often get smacked in the head. Whether or not academics feel they've studied it enough to reach a conclusion is one thing, but I think I have a good idea what the root cause usually is when somebody develops ALS after playing contact sports for a living.

Reply to comment by 2girls1cucke in 10% of patients infected early in the pandemic still had symptoms 1 year later. Common long COVID symptoms were shortness of breath (26.5%), joint pain (26.9%), loss of smell or taste (27.0%), impaired attention or concentration (22.3%), memory loss (40.0%), and sleep disorders (36.6%) by Wagamaga
For at least some of the symptoms I think that might be the case.
2.7% of middle aged people surveyed had joint pain, 3.7% had trouble sleeping and 2.2% had trouble concentrating, and it was decided that this was due to them having had covid a year before? Were joint pain, sleep problems and poor concentration previously issues that did not affect middle-aged people?

Reply to comment by JawnBewty in What actually makes an athlete durable? Or alternatively, why are some athletes "injury prone"? by RIPEOTCDXVI
Regarding anabolic steroid use, if tests typically indicate whether the person has used PEDs in recent weeks, but not whether they used any months ago, then I wonder what proportion of pro athletes juiced before going pro and only stopped once they had turned pro and were likely to get tested.

And anyway, if you decided you were enjoying something the first time you listened to it, why would you exert effort to figure out ways to stop enjoying it?
