You say that but I added after effects to the money shot. (It's confetti).

To be fair, I'm snarky because plenty of colleges (and way too many high schools) still do this shit because it's not about the knowledge, it's about the signalling to employers that the student will make a good cog in their machine.

To anyone struggling in a stats course: real data science is programming, not math. If you're on Lemmy there is a good chance you're a better data scientist than your hack of a teacher.

God, imagine a world where Amung Us has even a slight chance of turning you into a class war assassin. Given how many people played that at it's peak, we'd be seeing CEOs dropping like flies. There'd be a few dozen per day.

Why can't video games actually radicalize the way Boomer media believes it does?

If you're in a college statistics course and you're doing graphs by hand and not generated entirely be statistics software, the skills you're learning are useless anyway.

Assuming it's a correction line, I don't think you can tell from the slope of that line alone as the clustering will matter and correlations are finicky. Now, if it was a regression coefficient, that sexy line can be calculated just by looking at it (although we'd want to know if it was significant, lol).

Yeah that's my fear of what will happen if I get a bunch of tests done. This cough is awful but nothing mysterious, I just think my kids are just getting me sick repeatedly but only showing mostly minimal signs (except pneumonia my daughter had that we did successfully got treated since our pediatrics are OK).

But I can't ever know for certain because it's just expensive and inconvenient to check, and at the end of the day it's likely "oh, looks like you had RSV followed by COVID followed by the Flu, each a week before their respective vaccines were available this year and within days of each other. Womp womp."

That is promising news, at least. Thanks

You know what'd be more dangerous would be to spread 3D printing info and other useful tips we as a society may have learned from this whole manhunt info dump. Just saying, of course (I don't even own a 3d printer, officer!)

While a nice sentiment, no, no that just wouldn't work. But would be nice if there was a party capable of actually giving a shit about lived experiences and the backbone to do something about it.

But you know, I'll be happy if he is alive that far off in the future. Or us, for that matter.

Seriously, if I was a decade younger, a wee bit more well off, and less tied down by family, I could absolutely see myself doing what he did, especially pushed with back pain.

That said, if the FBI is reading this post because I did do something, no I didn't, you didn't hear nothin' from me.

Jesus, I didn't plan on reading and just these quotes alone get me. Fuck those people so hard.

Imma be honest, between this and the CEO killing we've only really had two pieces of good news all fucking year and the same dipshits ruining everything are ruining this too. This plus being nonstop sick since August with several colds is really making 2024 the shittiest year (so far).

Can someone at least give us a piece of good news before the end of the year? Maybe something that tops both?
