BMI is kinda like IQ, certainly useful, but it doesn't tell the full story.
If it is high, you may be fat, if it is really low, you are definitely underweight.

Totally agree, no one is safe. But some are less safe than others.
But this is New Zealand, 5 eyes partner New Zealand....you have to fuck up; pretty bad; to get us to look sideways at the USA.
NZ has a exercise caution advisory for USA......
I personally have a "don't risk it" advisory; especially if you are anything other than white.
Quite the opposite
For distance:
- learn to do a 1m pace
- measure your height to compare against other things
- measure the length of your finger gun (mines basically 150mm)
For temperature (for me):
- below 6 think about wind chill and keep warm
- 6-10 = warm jacket weather
- 10-14 = pants and sweatshirts
- 14-18 = great exercising weather
- 18-22 = shorts and t-shirts or light sweatshirt.
- 22-26 = very warm
- 26-30 = uncomfortable
- 30+ = sweating just walking around
For weight, it is too dependent on your strength. For some, lifting a 20kg sack of flour would be to much, for others grabbing two 40kg sacks of cement per trip to the palet is normal.

I don't think the "/s" was required.
I know Poe's law and all, but surely no-one could think that was serious.
I agree!
Accuracy and precision; when I used to shoot archery long ago; measure different things, accuracy is a measure of the spread of your shots, precision is a measure of how close to the middle your shots are.
It is not really weird, OP is arguing that the universe itself is deterministic. Taking a mechanistic approach to refuting that claim is perfectly valid.
There are a myriad of examples of physical processes that are chaotic, this invalidates OP's claim.
To address the morality point, if God is the source of goodness and morality; beyond the question of "which God?" ; it means objective morality doesn't exist, because God can change it's mind about what is "good".
But that is a discussion finds a different threat.
OK let's just start with the assertion that there of a casual link back to the beginning of time.
We will begin with the big one first. We don't even know if time had a beginning.
If we assume that time began at the instant of the big bang. There is no plausible link between my bean induced fart, and some random energy fluctuation, there are just too many chaotic interactions between then and now.
There are so many things we don't know, making the extremely bold claim that free will doesn't exist, is dangerously naive.
We can't even solve Navier-Stokes; neuronal interaction is so far beyond what we are currently capable of, it's ridiculous.
My recommendation to anyone contemplating this question. Assume free will exists; if you are wrong, it will made no difference; you were destined to believe that anyway.
