Don't make me pull out my fancy plots.

No, thanks—I prefer doing things in R.

I've always thought sky burials are pretty cool, but as a person living in North America who has no plans to move to Tibet or take up Buddhism, that's completely impractical. Next best thing might be for my to be placed on a body farm.

I forget which one, but one of the Between the buried and me albums has an instrumental release. Honestly, all of their albums I recommend regardless because the musicianship is excellent.

Scale the summit is more along the lines of prog metal but purely instrumental (I think).

Protest the hero is prog metal that has a near minimal amount of death growl (still some).

Animals as leaders which has been mentioned by several people.

Exivious is decent, I'm like 90percent sure they're instrumental.

There's a Japanese band called té, which is way more prog rock but you might like that.

Death, despite being one of the progenitors of death metal, is less intense on the death metal growl vocals. To me, early death metal in general is a bit different sounding than modern death metal. Regardless, Death has a pure instrumental song called Voice of the soul which is part acoustic. It's probably one of the most acoustically beautiful songs written in the genre.

By this definition, Xolo wouldn't fit because the x in Xolo is somewhere between sh- and ch-. It's a Nahuatl word and many (if not all) Xs are sh-/ch-.

Sorry for being pedantic.

Either "I'm not dead yet" or "I'm still alive" with a somewhat halfhearted "I guess..." Trailing behind.

Once upon a time I was a little more cheerful and gave answers like "Celebrating my streak of consecutive days lived".

Free: gently used jerk-off-chair. Never bare-assed it, but spritzed with fabreez anyway. Sticky texture is from woodfinish/varnish. Should hold most earthly humans, but if you're worried about it holding your weight, you can come try it out. Pick-up only.

"I'm alive" is an appropriately ambiguous answer, imo.

I think the y-axis shows number of kids.

I agree with what you're saying though—3 points does not make a compelling statement. I also agree that a better metric probably exists than what was posted. I'd add on and would like to know what the error bands represent—standard error, confidence intervals, or something else?

This is a valid point, and therein lies the brilliance of Trumpism—he rattles off enough inane babble, no one can remember exactly what he said at any given moment, nor can anyone be certain about what it is he meant even with on-the-record statements.

There is no object truth with convicted felon Donald J. Trump—just relative truths where the narrowest window is blown completely out of proportion and we're left with interpreting the exact size of said window.

The worst part about this is that we're left in the lurch squabbling over what is essentially word diarrhea. At this point, to most of us here, I don't think it actually matters any more what he said—he's a shit person spewing shit from his mouth and he has no business leading a country, let alone a business, and we agree on that.

But the objective truth is important, partly to hold ourselves to a higher standard than convicted felon Donald J Trump, but also to clarify misinfo as much as we can for the sake of posterity.
