  • "Average" can be an arithmetic mean, a median, a geometric mean, or even a mode.

  • Have you looked at the meme I'm commenting on?

  • But then how did he get to play?

  • It's brilliant in its simplicity. I'd never think of that. I'd try to overengineer something out of the environment, but with less skill than MacGyver.

  • Who has ever said that dolphins aren't whales?

  • Fuck. I'd never noticed that. Fuck you very much, now I can't unsee it.

  • It's heading your way.

  • TikTok screentime

  • I agree with your first half, but what the fuck is good about TikTok?

  • Why is that obvious? I'm really curious, especially since you're wrong.

  • No, no. You see, when a bible survives a house fire that destroys everything else, that's a miracle and shows god's grace.

  • Thanks for explaining the joke.

  • Imperial to lure them in, metric to finish them off.

  • Life hack: buy a single strawberry, take a bite, and give it back because it is half eaten, so you get a full one anew. Repeat. Sounds like a flawless plan to me.

  • You bought a single strawberry?

  • Get caught doing what? What loop am I now out of?

  • With?

  • I mean, with that van... Not saying it's not weird, but, like, I get it.

  • That's the point. To make the low-population area more intense. Because relative to the population density, there were 100 times as many sightings. Or what am I missing.

  • There are a number of normalization algorithms. Easiest would be to just divide by the area's population count. That gives you the relative number of bigfoot sightings or fursuits per capita, removing any skews introduced by varyin population size.

    Say you have two areas:

    Area 1: 100000 people, 1000 fursuits, 500 bigfoot sightings Area 2: 1000 people, 10 fursuits, 5 bigfoot sightings

    Without knowing the population size, it looks like more fursuits means more bigfoot sightings. But if we divide by the population size, we get 0.01 fursuits and 0.005 bigfoot sightings per person in both areas.

    Hope that helps. ^^

  • Now normalize it for population density.

    1. I did disable the scanning.
    2. Looked it up. Seems like it's actually pretty low when not connected.

    I never really thought about it because I use Bluetooth about once month at best. Still, leaving it on when I don't need it seems silly. But maybe it only does when you don't need it again a few minutes later.
