From your link:

In the study of race and health, scientists organize people in racial categories depending on different factors such as: phenotype, ancestry, social identity, genetic makeup and lived experience.

Overall, racial health disparities appear to be rooted in social disadvantages associated with race such as implicit stereotyping and average differences in socioeconomic status.

Cool cool I'm now totally convinced race is meaningful. How many races would you say there are? I probably agree.

I'm with you approximately %100.

One thing I've done when arguing with a person that insists race is real and meaningful is to ask the other person how many races they think there are.

It gets the gears turning a bit.

European, African, East Asian, Arabic, South Asian, Indigenous Australian, Indigenous New Zealander/Pacific Islanders (same or different?), North American Indigenous, South American Indigenous? are Mexico's Indigenous people the same race as Amazonians? Peru? Are they the same race as the Inuit of the arctic?

etc etc

Avoiding cultural appropriation is a easy as treating people and cultures with respect.

If you don't have trouble doing that then great. It's not something most people need to worry about.

I don't think Google can be blamed too much for presenting an article from a relevant, generally trustworthy site, that has the search query as the article title.

Second one is the song that Hell's Bells by ACDC should have been. (The song promised by the intro)

First one would be Lake Bodom by Children of Bodum

Okay, I think $80 Canadian for a case, psu, mobo, cpu, & ram is sounding pretty reasonable. I just don't know of its enough processing power for the video stuff. But I guess if not I can upgrade the mobo/cpu or add a graphics card.

Thanks, that channel looks great.

Re offsite backup: Yes I don't have so many family photos that it will be difficult/ expensive to store online. But I need to get them together first.

I don't have a computer with a bluray drive, only laptops.

The Pope is woke! Gender ideology IS toxic.

We should support the catholic church in their initiative to reform their sexist gender roles.

I'm impressed the patriarch of Rome is so invested in dismantling the patriarchy.

... wait that's not what he means? He supports highly defined gender roles? What a toxic ideology.

Shifts team to generative AI.

If your car development team can be transferred to AI developement you weren't building much of a car.
