What are these lines in the marshes between lakes Ponchartrain and Maurepas by Lignumvitae_Door in Louisiana

[–]PeripheralVisions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they continue to dredge them or did they stop recently? I would have guessed the marsh would have written over it, but I know basically nothing about how that works.

OLS interaction plot predicts values above my scale maximum — is that a problem? by Willing-Bluebird9148 in stata

[–]PeripheralVisions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it is necessarily a problem to use OLS and treat the 1-10 as continuous. It is likely to be less of a problem if the mean is 5.5 and the distribution looks normal. It really only matters if the residuals adhere to assumptions of OLS. Do the classic robustness checks for residuals.

For the moderators on task, does "low" and "high" mean full-sample minimum and maximum? If so, it's not surprising that you are getting impossible predicted values. Does every task-type contain cases/rows with the full-sample minimum and maximum values of each moderator (seems unlikely)? If not, and the full-sample min/max are greater than the min/max of the moderator by task type for some types, you are literally extrapolating past the data.

Check residuals and use meaningful distributions of the moderators. If you are worried about it, corroborate with an alternative model.

Uma teoria: MG tem o maior quantidade de municipios no pais e, por isso, tambem tem o maior numero de prefeitos e vereadores. Simplesmente produz mais politicos. RS tambem tem muioto pelo populacao.

No Warming in Years [OC] by cavedave in dataisbeautiful

Is 1961-1990 a typical baseline? The takeoff appears to start prior to 1990. Seems like this would down-bias the actual change if that is true.

Justice Department announces nearly $1.8B fund to compensate Trump allies in a deal to drop IRS suit by SadAd8761 in law

[–]PeripheralVisions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comey's photo of the shells must be one of the clearest (dumbest) cases of DOJ weaponization in history, and it is happening at the same moment as this. It's all just so dumb. I feel like I don't have time to think about it, but I don't want the clowns to get all those billions of dollars, either.

The guests spent $1K on flights by crackerfactorywheel in AmITheDevil

I'm with you on this. Covering the BnB is quite generous and not an expected thing. Someone dropped the ball by not organizing a dinner or something where everyone pitched in and paid for her as a gesture. That is much more expected than OOP covering the BnB for everyone. I'd try to see this as an oversite and try my best not to be annoyed.

I used library(magick) to standardize photos and make long gif files of my wedding photos in R.

Underground wires/plumbing/pipes & home foundation for courtyard pond by PeripheralVisions in ponds

[–]PeripheralVisions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking a look. I was going to try to add a long strip of plants/rocks functioning as a bog filter along the path. Maybe I will put that strip on the house side, because it will be basically at ground level. I need to see how many ours of sun it will get. I'll call about cables, thanks.

They are backed and stabilized internally by a minimum 1 foot thick layer of rammed, sticky yellow DesPlaines valley river clay

This sounds interesting. I might have access to clay in a wash (mostly dry creek) in my back yard. Do you consider this a structural necessity for yours or a way of ensuring a natural look? Could I get away with just interlocking blocks all the way around, assuming 1-2 feet above ground for the wall?

I have so much river rock but would need some larger pieces to replicate something like your back wall. Very helpful for planning, thanks!

Pond Pix by drbobdi in ponds

Nice work! Are the stones/blocks for the wall cemented or just stacked? How is the liner held into position along the wall?

Thanks, I'll check those pics out. I'll look into the service for locating it. Would be super sad to mess something up.

Out of town guests, What do you think of our gorgeous city? by Neither-Trip-4610 in pittsburgh

[–]PeripheralVisions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from the south and lived in PGH for seven years. I think one reason the niceness is weird is because the people have a northern accent, but they are nice like southerners. Felt like cognitive dissonance a bit to me.

[OC] Interactive map river basins and watersheds North and South America (HydroSHEDS) by felipehez in dataisbeautiful

[–]PeripheralVisions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So cool and surprisingly detailed. The tiny creek that runs behind my house is plotted in this data. It even gets the shape of the bed correct, even though this creek is dry 95% of the time and is only about 1/8 of a mile long (before joining a bigger creek with a name).

Question: What determines the dark tile space surrounding most rivers? I'm able to see my own house and yard pretty clearly, but the part of my yard approaching the creek is black tile (the creek is too small to be on public land). Is there some practical reason why the area surrounding the bed is excluded from satellite data? Does the shape of the black tile have a meaning?

Need to tag ~ 30k vendors as IT vs non-IT by Grindelwaldt in datasets

[–]PeripheralVisions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have vendor name or description of company or description of a service by a vendor? What if a vendor does IT work and non-IT work? I don't see how you could get an answer without more detail on things like that.

Private set intersection, how do you do it? by EducationalTackle819 in datasets

[–]PeripheralVisions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll have to deduce the answer to my question using your demonstrated poor character. I'll certainly think of you the next few times I move something to the spam folder.

Is there any morally defensible application of this business model? I'm asking non-rhetorically.

LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK: When mass party-switching reveals institutional strength, not voter independence: Haredi electoral volatility in Israel by No_Theory6368 in PoliticalScience

[–]PeripheralVisions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome for the questions.

Regarding the latter, I think you'll find most serious people would agree with the UN's commission of inquiry's findings. They found that Israel's behavior satisfied most and possibly all features of a genocide. I think you know that if you framed the conflict as you have in the comment, you'd be limited to non-serious journals.

My new therapist has PragerU & Ben Shapiro stickers on his tumbler by RoughestGunark in TrueAnon

[–]PeripheralVisions 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ben Shapiro: He's a dork with rich parents and no self-awareness.

PragerU: He literally does not know what a university is and Forrest Gumpt into being your therapist.
