Hey, #Firefox users:

Let’s say I have FF on my phone.
And let’s say I have it on my laptop.
I’m signed in on both, and they’re synced.

Now… let’s say I accidentally delete my bookmarks on the laptop.

If I force a sync again (or whenever it does so itself), what happens?

Do the bookmarks from the laptop reload onto the phone, or does the lack of bookmarks on the phone get mirrored onto the laptop and they go away as well?

And, do you know if that same result happens with any other/all brands of browser that are cross-platform?

Can anyone explain to me why BMI is still a used metric for proper weight?

It's pure weight to height.

Meaning a buff guy my height and the same weight *because of muscle mass* (instead of my... er... not muscle mass) would still be informed on the BMI scale that he's overweight. Whereas he's clearly healthier. So how is this still a scientifically referenced measurement?

Would muscle-to-fat ratio/percentage not be a more accurate assessment of physical health? That way, forget your height, is your percentage of body fat over X? Then you need to lose weight (or alternately add more muscle).

Weird.

Morning, all --

Quick introspection question: How does one tell the difference between knowing one's limits and coming up with excuses for not stretching to try something new? (If context matters for whatever reason, this is job-related.)

Please boost for wider range of takes.
