This is called dysphagia when it becomes a problem.

The label usually says total surface area in the package. The stores near me break the price down to cost per unit of area, as well. This really untangles the 'how much should I pay for a quadrahedroll vs a dodecca butt sphere" worth of paper?

Would you mark this as nsfw, please? Her ports are all showing!

There’s certainly a lot to discuss, relative to experimental design and ethics. Peer review and good design hopefully minimize the clearly undesirable scenarios you describe as well as other subtle sources of error.

I was really just trying to explain what we’re looking at on op’s graph.

My limited knowledge on this subject: The z-score is how many standard deviations you are from the mean.

In statistical analysis, things are often evaluated against a p (probability) of 0.05 (or 5%), which also corresponds to a z-score of 1.96 (or roughly 2).

So, when you’re looking at your data, things with a z score >2 or <2 would correspond to findings that are “statistically significant,” in that you’re at least 95% sure that your findings aren’t due to random chance.

As others here have pointed out, z-scores closer to 0 would correspond to findings where they couldn’t be confident that whatever was being tested was any different than the control, akin to a boring paper which wouldn’t be published. “We tried some stuff but idk, didn’t seem to make a difference.” But it could also make for an interesting paper, “We tried putting healing crystals above cancer patients but it didn’t seem to make any difference.”

I remember hearing years ago how the M1 Abrams was a battlefield domination machine that could only be killed by another M1. That was clearly propaganda. Those overweight, overpriced pieces of shit got lit the fuck up after being shipped to Ukraine.

Here’s hoping a democratic socialist turns out to be more progressive than your standard “not actually liberal” democrat.

This is how I imagine every dickhead on the freeway, dangerously changing lanes in traffic, gaining entire seconds of progress with each aggressive move. For what, another 30 seconds on the couch?

Reminds me of the Linux stats. Desktop adoption is really taking off!: 2.6% -> 2.7%

So brave

Definitely has a botlike throwaway account name.

Its because most people only care about their comfort and convenience right now and in the very near future.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

In the videos I’ve seen there are usually at least 5 ice guys with body armor and at least a couple have rifles. Good luck against that with your little pew-pew.

Honest question: I’ve been using mint relatively pain-free for a little while now. What am I missing out on?

Hopefully there will be some commentary on media consolidation and how successfully propagandized the american public is.

I think they just peered over the edge and were convinced when they saw sphincter after sphincter.

If each segment is 5 feet, none of the snakes are 12 feet long and the first line on the right starts at -15ft, according to the values we can see. This snake police lineup length scale is nonsense!

Are stocks and gold are going up or is the dollar going down?
