You’re not alone ❤️

Ha I didn’t remember that at all. Been a while since I rewatched Community

Seems to be my time to be confused but I have no idea what that means either

Honestly can’t remember much of anything about Vista either except some vague annoyance. I did use it more than 7 but not all that much more, I’d been too ruined by Linux

You have no power here.

Was that even a thing in Win7 yet? I only used 7 to play EVE, really, but otherwise I’d been daily-driving Linux since Vista days (which are further in the past than I’d really like to think)

But… how do… I mean, that’s… uh… how do you know what cat tastes like?

Ah duh, right, of course.

I haven’t used Windows since whenever the hell Win7 came out, so I haven’t had to deal with IE for so long for any reason that the trauma’s all gone

I… uh… I don’t get it

Truly a utility that we have all been waiting for without even knowing it.

Oh man my friend is going to shit a (happy) brick if people actually involved with the ISS end up seeing this.

I let them know! They’re pretty tickled that it’s clearly given people a chuckle.

It’s a ridiculous app which makes it so funny, but it’s also kinda cool that it’s possible to bang out an app that actually streams the real time status of a fucking space station’s toilets in an afternoon. I mean what the hell

I was particularly fond of the naming:

Really is isn’t it? A friend made this and forced me to be an alpha tester, and I just had to share.

Yeah there’s a reason why people started calling it MurderFS

Oh it’s the rule 30 sea snail! Didn’t know they were super poisonous, huh

And I’m here for it

Why do people still think this is simply a boomer problem? After the recent election even the US is waking up to the fact that Gen Z (and younger) generations are much more conservative than Millennials.

This is not a generational issue, the problem is not age. The problem is conservatism.

In the future, computers will do all our art and entertainment for us so we can concentrate on making rich people more money. Yay!

That’s too many nuts. The recommended maximum amount of nuts is 2

People don’t give precise percentages though when surveyed. They might round to typical fractions like 1/4, 1/3, or they might round to 10 or 20 percent.

Nobody is saying “hmm, I estimate that it would be approximately 37 percent”.

Of course the wisdom of the crowd does wonders for smoothing those coarse estimates, but still, if the crowd is +/- 10 of the real percentage value, I’d say they’re pretty much on the money.

Oh yes absolutely, people would definitely just “eyeball” their estimate and the percentages we see in the graphs are population (well, sample) level averages, but I’d still say that the differences between these average estimates and actual reality are by and large much worse that “on the money”. To illustrate, if the estimate for some country was eg. 30% and the real proportion 40%, the relative error – off by a factor of 1.33 – would be smaller than if the estimate is 12% and the real value 2% – off by a factor of 6 – even though both have a 10 point error.

So eg Poles’ and Argentinians’ estimates are both 12 percentage points off, but because Poland’s immigrant population is smaller that means that they overestimated its real size by 650% and so their estimate was 7.5x higher, but Argentinians were “only” off by 460% / 5.6x. 'Strayans were off by 7 points, but their relative error was only around 23%, which is still almost a 1/4 error and their estimate looks like it was the best out of these. The average global error was 100%, so on average people think there’s 2x as many immigrants as there actually are, and characterizing that as “pretty much on the money” is, well, maybe a bit generous
