The user appears as though he may not be a STEM professional, which is pretty much the only requirement to join our server. I am trying to find out if he is indeed a STEM professional and if so what area of STEM he is in, what he does for a living, and any credentials he is willing to share. It is part of the normal vetting process we do with most new users.

@mur2501 well lets see, i sent him a translation...

@Eki Salut cela aiderait-il si j'utilise un traducteur?

Je suis l'administrateur de cette instance et je voulais vous souhaiter la bienvenue, voir si vous aviez besoin d'aide et en savoir un peu plus sur vous. Nous filtrons tous les nouveaux utilisateurs et je n'ai jamais eu la chance de le faire avec vous.

Quel type de science faites-vous dans la vie? Quelle est votre profession ou qu'étudiez-vous? Puisque vous ne pouvez pas lire l'anglais, n'avez-vous pas pu lire la page à propos de QOTO?

@mur2501 I can try...

#MastoAdmin anyone out there who can speak #French who can help me with a user? Neither I nor any of the moderators on this server speak french and I'd really hate to ban a user over an inability to vet them.

@Eki What language do you speak?

@trinsec

Oops you are correct. So thats still a little less than one drink a day.. one drink per day on the weekdays I guess.

@Diptchip

@trinsec

It applies to all alcohol not just wine, but you would be correct that its far from a certainty and you will find studies with mixed results and it seems to depend a great deal on the specifics of the study mostly how their sample is determined. So yea any such assertion should be taken with a grain of salt.

Take this study which finds that older adults that drink one to four glasses of alcohol a day tend to live longer than those that drink none:

"The results indicate that intakes between 1 and <5 drinks per week were associated with the lowest combined risk of cancer or death."

@Diptchip

@trinsec For sure!

@pixouls

It is a specific thing or drug, it is short for benzodiazepine and is a class of drugs.

It is basically the class of drugs you generally think of when you think of anxilytics, the following are some common benzos you have probably heard of: Valium, klonopin, ativan, xanax,

@Diptchip

@Diptchip Wait your saying benzos are less toxic than alcohol? I'd consider them both toxic in high enough dosage, and neither is toxic in low doses.

A lot of studies do suggest alcohol in low doses is healther than not drinking at all, im not sure there is evidence of that for benzos though (unless you need it for mental health of course)..

Anyway I largely agree its healthy to avoid most drugs, alcohol included.

Happy 2021

@pie Well it is somewhat focused on hiking but not entierly.

For example sandals are class A, and class A2 is more durable than class A1. I'd consider sandals day-to-day shoes. But yea the classes are hiking oriented in the sense of "how well does the shoe hold up to rugged terrain", but I'd say to some extent that would carry over to every day shoes. with that said I think shoes that you'd never use hiking (like a true g-string style sandal) wont have a rating and its more outdoors sandals youll see getting the rating.

Me personally I only were these style of shoes cause in my mind hiking isnt really that different from day to day wear. A class for my sandals and light shoes, B for my every day shoes, C for my high quality hiking boots.. I have D class too but rarely wear them unless im doing actual hiking on rocky terrain, and its overkill for that most of the time really.

Fucking plebs in california are still stuck in 2020. The east coast kids are already a year ahead of them! We are always leading the way!

@pie

https://www.trekking-alps.com/how-to-choose-alpine-hiking-boots/#:~:text=Hiking%20boots%20are%20divided%20into,the%20B%20and%20C%20classes.

@pie Arent they though? Hiking boots are divided into class A, B, C, and D with numbered sub classes.. So you have things like class B, subclass 3. I think anyone who is really into buying quality shoes/boots other than just "it looks cool" will probably know what class they want.

In addition to that there are specific manufacturers for the soles that many shoes advertise that make a big difference. For example I always get shoes that have Vibrams soles rather than generic soles.

Then there are the different classes of insoles I suppose but thats more brand and marketing than an objective measure I guess.
