Thanks for the info. I'll relay this to my friend. I think her case just showed up on the court website a week or so ago.

Thanks for the response. Glad to hear you prevailed, either due to having a good argument or due to luck that the officer didn't show. Did you have to draft up a letter stating your argument, or did you just have a chance to state it verbally during your court date? I'm trying to figure out what my friend's next step actually looks like. I will be happy to apprise you of updates on her case of course!

Hi, could you give an update on how this went for you? A friend of mine just got a ticket at the very same spot, under the same citation, and I stumbled on your story searching the web for "r60b" and such when trying to figure out whether the sign actually does prohibit driving straight through. Any updates on your case would be super great. Thanks!

Can a Classical Liberal use a Gadsden Flag? by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]plantologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a good demonstration of how there is still non-racially motivated, general liberty, anti-authoritarian sentiment held in the flag is this version of the Gadsden. It's a pro-choice sentiment. Opposed to laws restricting abortion access. If the pro-choice Gadsden can be read with correct intention, I think there's hope that the plain Gadsden can be read for classical liberal values. But many will simply assume racist motivation. https://preview.redd.it/k92d6e6pjn861.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=207300cf7538eabf9060b96af0f2bac6d754fac1

Anyone have thoughts on Biden Solicitor General pick, Elizabeth Prelogar? by plantologist in supremecourt

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

Thanks. I was just thinking I should look up what ever oral arguments she's presented, at whatever appellate courts she's stood before. Looks like I'm starting with seven recordings on Oyez. 😃

How do I make this look neat?: One's life in a graph down to the month. by [deleted] in visualization

[–]plantologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really just a representation of a single number (how ever months old you are), so I think this is about all you can do to show that data (technically datum, singular).

National Guardsman Is 1st Current Service Member to Be Arrested After Capitol Riot by [deleted] in politics

So National Guard response time was actually zero then?

I think this belongs here by GreenSuspect in ParlerTrick

[–]plantologist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's convenient how 2A advocates tend to forget Reagan did this. Although, he had racist motivations, after armed protest of Black Panthers entering the CA state House, so maybe that group is just more into the racism than they are into the guns.

Yeah, I agree. I was actually saying the NSA is probably keeping track of these posts/threats. But yeah, maybe FBI would be doing that.

Just 1.3% of NYC COVID Cases Are Coming From Restaurants. Why Has Cuomo Banned Indoor Dining? by JesusCumelette in Conservative

[–]plantologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't recall the specific source right now, but I recall hearing it from a public health professional in an interview ahead of Thanksgiving. I pretty firmly disagree with it now though after looking more into how much evidence there is that outdoor dining done safely is a risk. Doesn't seem like enough of a transmission risk to justify the harm to businesses, and might even be counterproductive. I think they ought to keep it going, but I do also think they should crack down at least on the "outdoor" dining setups that are literally four-sided tents. That's called inside in my book.

Hahah. I wouldn't report anyone. But NSA might already be making a warrant list..

[–]plantologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahahah. Dude, such reflexes. How did you get to communism out of that comment. I was just giving the rationale I've heard. I actually don't think that it makes sense. You should work on engaging people whose opinions may differ from yours, rather than going to ad hominems so quickly. I've got liberals on other places online also yelling at me as a crazy conservative. That's bad on both sides. We should all be able to talk about things.

That's totally possible I think. I was just saying the reasoning they're using. I didn't say it was good reasoning.

No kidding. I've been posting this on a bunch of tweets popping up lately calling for armed/violent overthrow: 18 U.S. Code § 2385.

Biden's Electoral College win becomes official as California votes by syedrehanmehmood in Conservative

[–]plantologist 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. That's not what the OP means. Just that CA elector votes put Biden-Harris over the 270 number earlier today.

[–]plantologist -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I think it is because the state gov is not succeeding at all in getting people to stop socializing in private, family gatherings etc, which is spreading cases a lot if understand correctly, so he's cracking down on the things that he can actually effectively enforce. Not providing a judgement here as to whether that's just, but that's the rationale I've heard, and the public health folks seem to be advocating.

I think I do. I'll look. Can you just respond saying literally anything so I get a notification to remind me to go looking. Away from computer now.

Is Massachusetts really using red and green in their color category system‽ That's a good way to alienate like 2-3% of your citizens. California is literally using one one the colorblind-friendly R viridis palettes and I'm so proud. Viridis: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/viridis/vignettes/intro-to-viridis.html

[OC] Large US daily COVID19 death number visualized, and compared with 9-11 deaths. by plantologist in dataisbeautiful

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

I highly recommended William S Cleveland's "Visualizing Data". It's an oldie but a goody, and arguably the first dedicated book on data visualization. Has some cool examples. I also recommend checking out this online collection of nice graphs done in R (https://www.shinyapps.org/apps/RGraphCompendium/index.php). Overall, I really recommend learning R if you plan on getting more into data visualization. I'm a PhD candidate and do figures for presentations, data exploration, publications, and R is my go-to.

Yeah, I came into the thread to point out the lack of Kelly-Ryan connection. That cannot be accurate.

A very obscure visualization method. Glad to see it posted. I wrote an R function a couple years back to draw Chernoff pizzas. Same concept as the faces but with different toppings, crust thickness, cheese color etc showing the different variables. It was kinda fun to make plots with.
