Not like he's going to meaningfully change his technique much at that age, especially when maximumweight Greco Roman isn't exactly the most sophisticated sport in the world (As somebody of similar size who does wrestle/grapple).

Isn't this the forever-issue with importing votes as a left-wing party. Essentially everywhere outside the anglosphere is built on identity politics and culture that is far right compared to the prevailing Western Democracy. Any successful immigrant project will tend to pivot over time from 'I vote Democrat since they facilitate my immigration' to 'Got mine, now I'm culturally conservative'

NBA players are still massive by ordinary person standards but there's less rewards for assembling stationary 7-footers.

Yeah there's way better ways to get down with varying levels of KYC. Polymarket, some Crypto Casinos etcetera.

Procedures? Nearly all of them, although if for no other reason than the fact that midlevels don't do most types of procedures. This being for a variety of reasons including the fact that they don't get training in this area (or much training at all - NPs can be online degrees).
I understand that there are a lot of different procedures, but surely there has to be some sort of pareto principle involved in which the top 30 or so procedures cover 90% of the hospitalizations. I do agree that NPs will get the most basic cases, but what % of cases actually is that?
Is there that huge a difference between 23,000 hours of Child Psychiatry and 600? I work in a well-paid niche role and generally if somebody's got the right disposition towards it I'd be comfortable of allowing most fresh grads on the tools after about 50 hours of shadowing.

How many hospital procedures does the distinction between NP & Doctor make a meaningful difference, though? I'm sure there's shortfalls but is it a matter where 98% is functionally identical treatment? Plus frankly what % of the remainder cases where there'd be a meaningful differentiation represent productive uses of resources versus using pure ingenuity and the light of god to get the 85 year old to 87 years old.

Like if anyone could be made into a 7ft giant, would the current crop of NBA players remain? I doubt it. Almost all of them would be out-competed by harder working more conscientious guys
Agreed. I got a lot further in pro sports than I should have due to being a 99th outlier in certain physical attributes, but it was always funny seeing my position being 3 or 4 guys of a potential pool of about 10, maybe 20 candidates versus the normal-sized positions where it was 3 or 4 guys of hundreds of aspirants. The normal-sized guys were a lot more skilled/generally able as a result of that filtering.

A decentralized exchange is relatively low-trust since you just use it to convert and don't deposit. Uniswap the most popular example.
How would physical cash not assist? Likely easier to slowly convert that into your preferred currency than raw BTC

Could probably use a decentralized exchange of some sort to swap it into stables and then various ways of getting it into physical USD.

Yeah but if I've got a deck of 60 cards and I'm against a fast burn deck and I've got GAMEWINNER9000 (RRP $10,000) which instantly wins me the game if drawn in my deck, I haven't actually got that big a % of actually pulling that card in context of a single game.

Still there's gonna be a bunch of cultural/behavioral confounders.
I don't doubt that there's a direct correlation effect, but I'd also be surprised if there wasn't a significant case of lower pre-marital partners amongst a plethora of cultural & religious groups who marry young and don't really divorce.

Yeah. Floyd argument for negligence but I can also see how the arresting officer could have done it unintentionally. Opposed to gangbeating a restrained man.

No as in 'things that make you more likely to be a felon also make you less likely to be a voter'

Are felons less likely to vote demographically, though? Wild speculation but I'd imagine a variety of factors that correlate with felonious inclination are anti-correlated with voting.
I broadly agree with this. Ronald Reagan, for my understanding, spent most of his presidency in an equivalent state to present Biden and a lot of people would argue that that was the pinnacle of the American empire.
