Stunning.

I dont know how stacking rocks in a line on grass can make something so good looking, but it does

Was it a payphone?

Gas is a state of matter

Most simple regression models assume that the X variable is fixed by the experimenter and has no error associated with it, only the Y variable has random error, so all residual errors are vertical deviation from the trend line. As a result, the line is tilted to be ‘flatter’ than the main axis of the data.

In reality, the X variable often has just as much error/uncertainty as the Y variable, and the residuals should be perpendicular to the trend line.

One regression that allows for that is Major Axis Regression.

Another is to just take the main axis from PCA.

Always nervous before surgery, but it has always been fine so far.

What you are paying for is a standardised experience.

There is a reason people visit Rome or Vietnam and still go to McDonalds: predictable, reliable experience.

The Shire has a museum (mathom house) and a postal service, which implies they pay taxes for some level of public service.

Bill Bryson - The Lost Continent

It’s funny and a great read as Bryson always is, but I noticed for the first time that my values have changed since I first read it.

He pretty regularly comments on how overweight people are, and doesn’t mind describing exactly what he finds unattractive in older or overweight women.

I guess I just got fat friends and find that distasteful now.

… because they are slightly less greedy than the main Woolworths/Coles duopoly.

Aldi are doing god’s work, I only wish they could establish in New Zealand, but apparently our Foodstuffs/Woolworths duopoly is even harder to crack into.

Rooklear Launch Detected

I am sneezing just looking at it.

Great picture though

I did, but I forced myself to do it yesterday… Zero emails directed at me!

Time to celebrate by basking in my self-satisfaction and not checking it the rest of the week.

Music communities/discussion is not the same as spotify music discovery.

Communities can recommend you music that is the same genre as the music you like.

Algorithms can recommend music that you will like as much as your input taste.

Harvey Danger - You will die by what you live by

At Home: A short history of home life by Bill Bryson. A history of houses, and just history relating to houses.

Most back cover reviews exaggerate, but it really has made me laugh out loud, at least most chapters.

Even better, it gives me a constant stream of interesting facts to throw at my partner. Did you know they had locks on doors and underfloor heating back in the neolithic?

It broke again. Test posting here to see if it helps

Ok, possibly logging in to normal Lemmy.world, then reloggin into old.lemmy.world somehow fixed it.

Wow, its fixed… already?

Lucky this service is free, otherwise it’d be out of my price range!
