Andrew Gelman is quoted as saying that 2000 was the stone age in recognizing statistical error. Has statistics really come that far in 20 years?

I can't say it's terribly impressive, but I've collected my performance at 90% of my gym visits over the last two years. Sheets has been very convenient in keeping myself on-track. I'm thinking about taking a weekend to clean the data and graph some trends or normalize my rep counts/distance/times into a single index I can use along with my weight to quickly assess "how I'm doing".

I think the speech agrees with you, more or less.

On becoming a god in Central Florida and Chernobyl were both real solid. If we can go back a few years, so were The Young Pope and Mad Men.

Can anyone help me out in understanding how green energy is going to kneecap oil? I know the costs have gone down some, but iirc total oil energy produced/consumed is still orders of magnitude higher. Additionally, the margins on oil are still wide enough to absorb a lot of competition from wind, geothermal and solar.

Thinkpad x220,IPS model, running xubuntu. Display is lacking, so I wouldn't use it for illustration work. Otherwise, it has been months since I opened my mbp.

>A copy of the painting can serve for viewing nearly as well as the original.

Maybe for a lay-viewer. As an amateur realist painter, even the very best prints seem to lose 75-80% of the mark-making and process clues that are easily observable in originals.

I use the free fillable forms. Happy with it every year so far. If turbo tax makes them go away, I'll get real politically involved real quick.

What form? do you mean just sending letters to my reps?

I had hoped to see a comment like this about Vice higher up. I find that their content is usually insubstantial, and when it is otherwise, facts are presented or omitted staggeringly skewed fashion for maximum emotional engagement. In short, if you want to feel strongly about misinformation and partial-truths, Vice is the outlet for you.

Iirc OSINT is information that is intentionally publically available, like county arrest records.

Ah thanks. You had me excited for a moment: classical methods for drawing were tedious, but rewarded my patience by improving my ability exponentially faster than other forms of practice. I had hoped for something similar WRT writing.

It was Microsoft.

I'm familiar with classical training for music (conservatories) and painting (ateliers, master/apprentice systems). I've never heard of classical training for writing. What does it entail? Where can I learn more about the methods?

Once every two months I'll vote 3-5 times in 'new'.

Those sound like big filters. Where are they installed, and how often do you replace? Or is that just pitcher volume?

Is this to say, "RS sometimes slept at the office to get more done, but the mattress weirded some people out" or "RS had a mattress in his office, which is evidence he used it to put female colleagues through unsavory casting-couch situations"? I cannot tell.

Except the videogame review department. Surprisingly objective and critical material there in a genre renown for quid-pro-quo.
