trapped mouse posted:Yeesh, yeah, every gun owner that she's referring to is an american gun owner, so that is supposed to be a circle within a circle. The message is supposed to be “lots of people, whether they own guns or not, support background checks”, but that’s not something a Venn diagram can convey. Venn diagrams are only good for showing whether things overlap, not how much they overlap. I guess you could use a pie chart or a stacked chart? But really the percentages alone are fine.

flosofl posted:Because it *doesn't* cancel it out? It's not Watt per hour (W/h) but Watt hours (Wh) which is a different metric. W/h measures change in power over time. Wh is energy as the product of time and the power consumed for work. It can be converted directly to Joules (1 W = 1 J/s; 1kWh = 3.6 MJ) watt = joule∕second hour = 3600 seconds W × hr = J∕s × 3600 s = 3600 J That’s what I mean by the time units cancelling. Yes, you have to express one hour in terms of seconds to do the algebra. It’s like if said I travelled 450 mph‐seconds. Why not just say I travelled 660 feet (= 1 furlong = 10 chains)? My speedometer reads in mph and my watch reads in seconds, so it’s convenient (which is why watt‐hours exist), but it’s still silly to state it like that. Now for the next mystery, why do metric tonnes exist when “megagram” is the same quantity under a better name? But I tire of this discussion, and if that’s true for me it’s trebly true for everyone else, so here’s an awful graph:  source Technically competent, but in the service of a terrible premise.

Bobby Digital posted:Really? I googled to check and every source I found said it was in metric tons. At Los Alamos during the war, short tons were used for TNT equivalents. Here is an example from Los Alamos Primer (PDF), the transcript of a lecture given there by Robert Serber in 1943 (page three of that PDF): quote:The energy release in TNT is 4·10¹⁰ erg∕gram or 3.6·10¹⁶ erg∕ton The use of short tons is implicit. If these were metric tonnes, it would be precisely 4·10¹⁶ erg∕ton. Platystemon has a new favorite as of 05:34 on Jul 15, 2016 |

SiKboy posted:I think it might depend how you want to count it; By "car crashes are safer than plane crashes" do we mean "you are more likely to survive being in a car crash than survive being in a plane crash", do we mean "more people die in plane crashes than car crashes" or do we mean "a higher proportion of air travellers are killed in crashes than road travellers"? Because I'm fairly confident than not all of those statements are true although admittedly I havent checked the numbers. Planes win all of those handily except “assuming you are in a crash, how survivable is it?”. They also win per‐traveler‐mile.
