Those figures are based on median scores submitted, but it's not very accurate when it's a self report because you lose slower people.

Anyway, you're also allowed to just enjoy a game, it doesn't matter how long it takes. I like to take things in, go afk randomly, search all over the place for Easter eggs and such, etc; I usually end up taking longer than those times and I assure you, I'm fantastic at playing games so no, you're not bad at games. Lol

Enigmatica 2 Expert. A fun mix of mods produced a Fire and Ice Dragon that had treasure loot from Industrial Craft 2... you're supposed to handle radioactive materials with proper safety gear. Who'd have thought? Lol

Shell-less turtle is like not having your bones, ew.

The irony is we bought this place in a so so urban area but close to my wife's work and only moderately far from mine. She then got an offer from a place near a suburb for a lot more so she commutes from the city to a suburb, all while interest rates spiked. Lol

It's still worth it because rent also spiked, though. Our system sucks, although 30 year fixed mortgages aren't common in other parts of the world and variable rates would be more flexible but also probably price us out of our home.

Commuting isn't necessarily a choice, given housing prices or changes in career and such making it hard to live where you work. 30 year fixed mortgage in a bad economy means you ain't moving anytime soon. I'll never understand people who choose to live out in suburbia, though.

That said, this dude needs a steam deck. Lol

Modded Minecraft ruined my mind because this reminded me of a time when opening a wooden chest full of plutonium gave me radiation poisoning and ruined my deathless playground. My mate picked it up after and then also immediately died. Stupid dragons and their stupid plutonium.

Hold up. Are you telling me Trump and the right are doing bad things aside from mismanaging a pool and holding a tacky event? That's news to me! /s

Seriously though. Pick what you want if you're going to highlight the corruption and ineptitude and inhumanity and all that; the goal is changing (admittedly, very stupid) minds and what works for some won't work for others. If "look at what they did to our historical in monuments!" convinces some boomer moderate who's all about tradition and history, go for it.

Reading the article I can immediately tell this monument is going to stay fucked until the administration is out; they're going to drain it, "fix it", and have it happen again. Honestly, perfect metaphor for the administration, though.

On the one hand, yeah. Fragile ass mother fuckers.

On the other hand? You do learn in gender studies that toxic masculine and such is a systemic problem. Boys need hugs and love growing up that they just don't get, and it produces these soft skinned psychopaths who perpetuate that cycle.

But this is a comics community so it's fine however you want to interpret it for lols. Lol

Well, that's why you hope that gets controlled with a natural experiment. You can't, for instance, use a control group in a country with different medical policies, but you could have comparable cities and neighborhoods that, arguably, should have similar medical advancements over time. The closer the control group is, the better your validity should be (too bad there's no mirror universe!).

There's a couple other tricks you can use, but honestly my expertise is in education so I'm not sure how widely these are used; Instrumental variables (basically proxies for your target) for instance, like adding property value or something to the model can inadvertently control for things associated with that, like better medical care or infrastructure. You risk over-specifying the model but we have diagnostics that help with that.

(Btw, education, the main concern is there's a billion possible factors in the home, classroom, society, etc, we can't directly capture, so that's how it's used there).

These comments are all over the place. If you must look at correlations, there are some more rigorous methodologies to study cell phone use or vehicle weight you can use.

My preference is when you're given historical data is to find a natural experiment and use something like an interrupted time series regression. For example, if there are two cities with mostly similar characteristics but one criminalizes cell phone use more explicitly, you can compare statical differences in accidents while controlling for historical trends.

And that's just from the top of my head. That said, there's fairly concrete evidence without looking at correlations... at least, we know heavier cars are much more lethal from physical tests, no correlation needed. The historical trends also have conflicting factors too, like safety features; e.g. mandatory rear view camera in... 2017, I think it was? So yeah, things can also just be murky if you don't isolate your variables.

Say what you will, that kid wears shoes in bed.
