It’s funny to see both Jon Stewart and Dave Chappelle take two very distinct paths into old age. Actually true of most people in that movie, lol

Auto correct strikes again :)

The occupation and names I think are random and usually a joke, too.

See also:

• Men who think the barista likes them because they read their name from a cup.
• Men who think they don’t need to tip their waitress and instead leave their number instead.
• Men who expect a happy ending when getting a massage and again, don’t leave a tip when they’re sent away without one.

Oh man, my independent station is wild sometimes. It swaps between a lot of genres, from punk to classical. They played an Earthbound video game cover once, even. My npr station is relatively fine too.

Corpos 100% ruin radio, though, and that’s been true for a long time. Stations often get incentives to pay the same songs and that’s only gotten worse with time. True across all popular genres, too.

Yeah no, that’s just a cranky old guy thought. Just today I was watching fairly average looking people promoting music on late shows. You’re probably getting a very thin slice of pop music and ignoring everything else (and hell, even pop breaks that rule sometimes).

Plus, physical beauty and music are both subjective. I try to not get all “old man yells at cloud” about how music “used to be better”.

Mine actually started crashing when I opened it, so yeah. Luckily I live in a grid so it’s not really hard to figure it out myself.

Yup! And if you have the right dashboard you can usually drill down by location down to that level and even include those additional factors as an overlay. I used to do that using census and labor statistics data, and it is indeed very cool.

Acceptable in the statistical sense. Normality is required by a lot of statistical tests, so it’s done a lot. There are better ways to do it without losing important insights though, hence what I said later in that paragraph.

Yeah but you can’t really do that with a map. In a table you could. A report would likely report both, but also differentiate groups because you don’t usually want to report skewed data without explaining why.

If the data is normally distributed (as in bell shaped), the mean and median will be the same. The problem is that the data is probably very skewed, so the median is probably a better representation of the central tendency than the mean. Also, it’s incorrect to say it only represents 2% of people; it’s more that every person is only represented by their position in the set. Quintiles, quartiles, and percentiles work the same way. I like to think of it as everyone being a single vote, unweighted by value.

That said, if you wanted another acceptable alternative, you can also remove all outliers and likely return the curve back to normal. The problem there is you’d probably be removing every immigrant, so you wouldn’t be representing all Americans. Pros and cons, but given medians are almost only used to describe data and not analyze it, since it’s not compatable with a lot of statistics. A real analyst would probably just dummy code immigration in a regression and provide coefficients for both groups, anyway.

I like that they have to use median, because I’m often having to find examples of why you’d use that over mean. My wife for instance is over 5k miles from her mom, and I imagine that’s true of most immigrants. So the skew is probably really, really strong if you didn’t use a non parametric measure like the median.

In other words, I’m stealing this for my stats class.

To be fair, Teddy only managed to convert to PDF by sheer gumption. No matter how many clippies he faced, he never gave up, never crashed his Word, and always disabled OneDrive before anything else.

Given their recent financial woes, Tupperware should just get into the dildo business. Can even make them microwave friendly for… some reason.

In your honor I’ll use the term Smoochy Pit to refer to something lewd. At least then at least you’ll have your very own term named after you! Any suggestions on what it should mean?

Solid point!

To be fair, DB started off as a gag manga so I guess she was just sort of a gag that no longer mattered when it became less of a comedy. So… ya, forgot about her. Lol

I’ve always had a preference for Balma, it’s unfortunate she becomes less and less important as time goes on and the characters outgrow the need for tech. She’s a genius inventor, though!

Granted, I’ve always had a preference for female characters, which isn’t exactly DBs strong suit, lol. Now that I think of it, whatever happened to Launch, that lady with the two personalities? Did she just… disappear in DBZ?

Fr fr no cap.
