Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

I have flown quite a bit, but for over 20 years and probably not again.
So I am not really in a position to say that the airline industry, in spite of its safety record, a disaster.
But I said it anyway.

That was a bit of a mess. It looks like chainsaw work for me today. Our power was out from 12:30am Tuesday to 2 pm Thursday here. These folks are still out this morning.

griff:  I sometimes wonder about the time stamps on posts here.
Did you really write that at 3 AM?  Did your pwser outage cause an error?

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

My post is labeled 6:14 am. You're 3 hours behind me so maybe it gives you local time? Sawing continues, I cleaned up my FiL's today. He had a maple very gently place a big cracked limb on his garage. Pole saws rock.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

Everyone's time zone is set manually in their own member settings, and the system doesn't automatically change for daylight savings. So not only will other people's posts appear with a time stamp relative to you, and not their local time, but also that time may be completely wrong depending on where you've told the system you live.

After growing up in Texas, then moving to Oregon, I can say the difference/variance in length of days between seasons is hugely noticeable and weird.

Ronnie Rayguns gave an Oscar winning performance convincing the voters he would lead the way to the Promised Land.
He didn't mention who could go with him though. Turns out it wasn't you and me.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

Seems future teachers are changing their choice of area of expertise away from history.
Might be because history is being changed so fast, not current history which is always changing fast...
past history, at least what part of it they can teach and how that may be taught.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

Arlington VA pays its teachers pretty well, but has a teacher shortage.  I was just talking yesterday with a teacher who just got moved over to teach 4th grade history, which is a big deal in Virginia.  That's when students learn Virginia's history, as mandated by the Virginia lawmakers.  She's still in summer vacation denial, but is a little concerned because she needs to learn what she's supposed to teach according to the curriculum this year.  She knows it has changed, but hasn't studied yet what the changes are.

If she's lucky they will provide a lesson plan.
The US is a pretty big place, who is doing what with it?

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

Here is indisputable proof that US spending on science causes hanging suicides.
Maybe hopefuls who didn’t get funding so the wife split with the kids and his dog.
 
Then an ironclad case for swimming pool drownings being caused by Nicholas Cage.
Those maybe water suicides by folks who saw his on screen acting.

While it's interesting, since none of them has invited me to have a beer it really doesn't matter where they live, Jim.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

NYT best seller lists have not been accurate in the past because they only counted hardbacks sold through bookstores, no paperbacks or books sold online, or any other outlets. But in the last few years they've gotten their shit together... or at least more together, but listing paperbacks separately.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

Yeah, but at the same time they eliminated their graphic novel bestselling list a few years back, which has been a steadily growing market. It was a very weird decision.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

Anime is more popular than ever, and people are often interested enough to read the Manga. Why wouldn't they track this?

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

I know, it's insane. Plus it really pissed off a lot of graphic novelists who could no longer say they were a "NYT Bestseller" as an advertising point, even if they sold more copies than the bestselling hardback.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

Maybe they are trying to discourage the, "don't worry a superhero will handle it", thinking in the younger set. If they see a villain don't wait, kill him/her yourself with that gun Dad keeps in the nightstand. 

Anyway Big Banks, where are they?
