Hippie Hedgehog posted:Crosspost from the Traffic Engineering thread. The worst part about the graph is the title. "Change in distance" suggests that each data point is a delta; so in 2000 the EU drove 13 000km more or less than the year previous. In middle school I was good at math but would always lose points when I made graphs because I always forgot to include titles and label axes. In my old age I realize these teachers were right to penalize me.

You just reminded me we had these assignment papers in grade school where one of them was usually "color in 35% of this grid" and being bored i would color in like 25% of this square, 50% of that square etc until the total was 35%. after a couple times my teacher just wrote "not gonna check, fail" but i kept doing it anyway cause she sucked

Same on the labels though. It seems self explanatory in the context but you put it on a slide and everyone's confused as if we aren't talking about sales volume.

my parents took me on a road trip to yugoslavia out of season, so we got a list of homework to do & when we got back i was 2 weeks ahead (wtf) so she took away my assignment book from me, made me sit and be double-bored. such a weird way to go about teaching. just one of many times i was told not to do homework (i wasnt even smart, just a class ahead maybe. ive been as regular as anyone since like 9th grade)

TinTower posted:https://twitter.com/redfieldwilton/status/1576975428123824131 This chart says she froze energy bills at £2,500 per household, which never happened and is in fact a really dangerous falsehood to be spreading. Also how does an approval rating go negative? How can negative 33% of people approve of her? Horizontal axis could use some tick marks too.

Approval rating is expressed as positive or negative, if you go into the negative then more people dislike you than like you.

Doom Mathematic posted:This chart says she froze energy bills at £2,500 per household, which never happened and is in fact a really dangerous falsehood to be spreading. It’s just net approval. Approval minus disapproval. Not exactly a great measure but I suppose it’s noteworthy when it gets high enough in either direction

The possibilities are that I get struck by lightning, or that I don't get struck by lightning. That's two possibilities, so there's a 50 percent chance I'm about to get struck by lightning. Or wait, am I even reading this right? What is happening? e: Oh hey, numbers! Respectability established. Ragnar34 has a new favorite as of 19:36 on Oct 9, 2022 |

Anyone who's ever solved an equation with more than three variables or written over 5 kilobytes worth of code should never be allowed to share their opinions on politics, let alone geopolitics.

It's the cutesy "kaboom" and "KABOOM" labels on the millions-to-billions-of-people-die boxes that does it for me, i get dark humour in the face of eternal hellworld but maybe your bigshot war analysis is not the time pal Well, it's not wrong

I listened to a lecture series on ancient Egypt a bit ago and was entertained to find out how many Cleopatras there were. Cleopatras were just all over the place back then, up to and including including the famous Cleopatra's sister, Cleopatra.

Some think that Cleopatra's sister Cleopatra was actually her mother Cleopatra, who may or may not be the Cleopatra married to her predecessor.

What's the infidelity rate on that though? I think I heard that it was not uncommon to gently caress the servants instead of your brother-husband, as long as everyone agreed that it was legally good offspring.

So was Cleopatra being insanely hot some kind of weird overflow error where incredible amounts of inbreeding for generations produced increasingly hosed up people until it somehow wrapped around to the other side?
