All of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S., splashing about in a public fountain, flopping all over each other in a public cafe. Making love to each other in increasingly complicated combinations. Disgusting.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Don't forget they are addressing the whole nation: average reading age 12, ability to understand percentages small, and comprehension of a graph, minute. I'm not being an intellectual snob here, this is reality. I'd be interested in how the distribution on that looks though, because it still seems shockingly low.

pumpinglemma posted:Serious question: Why? If someone's certainly going to die without a ventilator, why isn't it better that they have a ventilator with a 1% chance of killing them than no ventilator at all? Isn't this an real ongoing medical legal & ethical question? Like whether asprin should be proscribed to people with high heart attack risk, because whilst on the balance it saves lives it also causes the occassional death in itself?

Seriously the way this is loving with perception of normality is unreal. Last night I had a dream and it was a perfectly mundane one about being lost in an airport and then being on a crowded bus, but then current reality intruded on my brain and I became hyper-aware of how close everyone was and I woke up with the same sort of feeling you have after a particularly intense nightmare. edit: A couple of days ago I was reading a story and two characters shook hands and I viscerally shuddered.

Julio Cruz posted:my local Tesco Extra had at least some of everything except for flour (but I didn't check the booze aisles) We popped in to the local super store this evening (about 7pm) and it was like night and day compared to the same time last Friday. Almost all the shelves were full and there was an abundance of things like hand sanitiser and toilet paper. Either the initial surge is over, the shops have figured out better supply chains or a Monday evening is the best time to go grocery shopping.

Guavanaut posted:Reading *comprehension* age of 12. They can understand plenty of words, but can't string them together into coherent narratives. Yes, sure. Comprehension can be higher than reading age. Something like the Guardian has a reading age of 17. I've never found a distribution of reading ages (a nice graph for example  ), but general reading around gives me the impression that 50% will fall between 9-13 years. And there are various different systems of measurement too. I worked with a Croatian translator once - she would translate from Croatian to English, then I would go over it, and we used to push the work through a reading age assessment tool (which I can't find now) which would grade the translations against the different systems.I had a bit of a go at Welsh labour a couple of years ago because they produced a load of documents for sharing round the membership which looked nicely presented in big font, bullet points, colour schemes, but were obviously written by a post-grad with long sentences written in the passive voice. Our members are regular people too. I pushed my two paragraphs above into a grading tool (https://www.online-utility.org/english/readability_test_and_improve.jsp ) and this was the result Indication of the number of years of formal education that a person requires in order to easily understand the text on the first reading Gunning Fog index: 12.13 Approximate representation of the U.S. grade level needed to comprehend the text: Coleman Liau index: 9.84 Flesch Kincaid Grade level: 10.26 ARI (Automated Readability Index): 10.55 SMOG: 11.66 I think US grades 10-12 correspond to UK Years 10-12 so ages 15-17?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52096049 We've sent it packing, boys! Only a 50% increase in hospitalised cases since Friday, and if you squint hard at the graphs there's a wiggle in the rate of infection that's definitely not insignificant. Enough social distancing. Time for a bit of fun.

OwlFancier posted:The ventilator equivalent of that metal lump that stops the track pins falling out of a T34 by repeatedly whacking them back in each time the track goes round. Where could I read up about that quirk? If they significantly change the approach mid way then yeah, you can throw any trends going across that divide out of the window... All numbers we're getting right now are provisional. The brouhaha about some of the counting quirks in Spain and elsewhere isn't unexpected. Most people are poorly educated about what the current death statistics actually mean and how limited they are. The current global death toll is an undercount.

I also concur with the general aptitude of the population stuff, I worked a blue collar job for a decade where everyone I worked with had passed plenty of assessments to stay in a job but if anyone saw me reading something that wasn't a red top there was wide spread incredulity that anyone would do that. Not to say there werent intelligent people there (indeed there were people there who made me feel very dense) but the majority weren't interested and could barely tell you anything about current affairs except the football.

Munin posted:Where could I read up about that quirk? It's not really that in depth, the track pins aren't held in by anything so over time they work loose, they fixed it by welding a V shaped lump to the hull behind the track, as the pin goes past if it's sticking out it hits the metal and get knocked back in, but you can still pull them out anywhere else on the track if you want to, they just don't come loose over a single revolution so the whacker is enough to fix it. Over time it'll wear out and it probably doesn't do the pins any good but lol if you think a T34 is going to survive that long. There's a picture of it here and you can see all the dings knocked out of it by the pins. http://www.livesteammodels.co.uk/dhmg/tracks.html Oh also I guess one downside it it goes clangclangclangclang when you drive it but it's a tank so that doesn't matter much.
