Makes sense now.

If it makes you feel better, a random scrabble solver website listed it as valid. Didn’t cite the source but ah well.

I don’t get this one… Did the spelling of weeping change?

I’m pretty sure he’d skip weeping and go straight for the whip and upending of tables.

You cannot directly compare two populations without accounting for differences in size. Doing otherwise is very bad data science. That’s why it’s per 100,000 and thus takes size out of the equation. Which is good. That’s a confounding factor that is trivial to deal with. Given my previous observation that many US states have populations directly comparable to other countries, the “comparing states with countries” complaint goes from vaguely plausible to inane immediately.

Thank you for defining how averages work?

Because US states have populations and areas comparable to other countries. Just the US topping the charts is expected. How many states you have to get through to see other countries is interesting.

How is a per-capita incarceration rate, with a reference to the superset included directly on the plot, misleading? Other than including more than El Salvador for the sake of external reference, which is almost certainly a size issue.

I watched it with a guy on my floor in college. First time for both of us. He was told before that that was the ending so we were both tearing up and he thought it was about to roll credits.

I’ve been told it’s because they never get the satisfaction of catching the dot.

None of them. They don’t really work. AI image generators are trained against detectors (long story short). Any given detector only really kinda works on one model maybe.

Sure. It’s on Coursera

I enjoyed all the other stuff in the module and he did fine. Extra points for being online learning and being able to speed up the lecture to keep my ADHD happy. Just that one was pretty bluh.

Taking a network fundamentals class right now and the last part of the module was network security, which I thought would be interesting. I couldn’t focus on it at all. It’s weird when you realize that something you thought would be cool can’t hold your focus.

I love what appears to be a citation.

Yes. It’s probably the friendliest Linux distro. But there’s still a learning curve so don’t go in thinking it’s as plug and play as Windows.

Don’t we all really?

Actually, that part I’m not worried about. Jackbox is one of my friends go-to end of party games. It’s all through your phone and accommodates a good amount of people, slightly game dependent.

I’ve got two for a pair of cats we adopted at the same time.

First was Stusy (pronounced stu-c). He was named after a typo. My partner and I were planning a move and I accidentally misspelled study. We looked at it and decided it was a good cat name, which it was. He was the smartest cat we ever had. He died a couple years ago too young from what the vet said was likely genetic kidney problems.

His brother, our scaredy cat, is Big O. At the cattery (our name for the local cat adoption place), he was the one that wanted nothing to do with us and so we clearly had to adopt him. Every time we pet him he vigorously cleaned that spot. I don’t remember what we were going to name him. The cattery named him Big O after the tire place where he was found. He was driven from one small town in Indiana to another, about 50 miles, before he was found in the engine compartment of someone’s car who stopped at Big O to check the meowing from the engine. He was Stusy’s best friend and while he’s still easy to startle, he lets us pet him in controlled conditions (usually us lying down and holding very still) and is the goofiest of his siblings when they’re playing.

That third one is just cheating.

Maybe (as in I would have to check, not that I think it likely) at highway speeds. But in any low speed area, vehicles without gas engines can be sneaky.

My company was working on an electric bus and I saw a driver sneak up on an engineer with the aforementioned city bus. They actually, legally (in some places) need noise makers at low speeds to deal with this.

These arguments are kind of dripping in slippery slope fallacy. That’s a potential outcome but by no means the only one. I’d hazard that’s a pretty worst case interpretation. I think your average person doesn’t evaluate themselves solely through the lens of economic value. Capitalismwould nudge people toward your slope, but I don’t think humans would totally cooperate with the effort.
