Can you name one example where the context was not someone who was handling/processing/had the data as a part of their platform (i.e. FB) but rather a hosting provider where you've been burned assuming?
Allegedly health problems from obesity and stomach bleeding killed him. Questionably related to the fast,probably related to the health problems that got him to do the fast in the forst place.
> It's not a surprise that his lifespan was shorter than average.
Given all of the purported health benefits of fasting I see touted on HN, and given how long he fasted, if anything I'd expect him to have lived to 100.
That was 25 years after his fast, but there have been other cases with complications
E.g. one lady (1st case in the lnk below) who fasted for 4 months ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks with cardiac arrhythmias and they also found her heart tissue muscles were scared and filled with holes (I believe thats what vacuolated means)
Without any cause listed dying at 50-51 is not rare at all and should not be assumed to be related to a particular cause. In fact, life expectancy of those born on 1940 was 60.8 years, making it within 10 year of the average, something totally normal IMHO (it's like today, with a 78-year life expectancy, someone dying at 68 years old, totally not surprising).
Life expectancy is a tricky stat. One of those cases where mean vs median vs mode is really important. Especially when talking about a period anchored in a global conflict with vast civilian casualties.
If you signed a contract for a year with a clause that you could cancel before then if you move to an area without one of their gyms then this seems reasonable.
I've had my own experiences with gyms being hard to cancel. But in principle if I want an easy cancellation then I'll go month to month. If I have a 12 month contract I'm not going to cry if they resist when I want to cancel early...
I have 6 neighbors in my cul-de-sac. The Amazon truck probably visits 5 out of 7 days a week. I never worried about whether my Amazon purchases were wasteful based on trucks and fuel. They were quite wasteful in the sense that I bought a lot of cheap crap I didn't actually need.
This is the worst thing about it. Holding something and deciding if it's worth your money is a much longer process than clicking "buy now", and you've probably don't even remember doing it when the goods show up in front of your door.
Amazon day is probably similar. There's a designated day of the week where they deliver everything I've ordered that week.
I don't have hard data, but it makes sense that if more than one person in my building/block/etc does the same (thus sharing the same delivery vehicle), it's probably less driving/gas overall.
