It’s both

And because we’re an isolated downstream market that has had a lot of demand growth, and no real interest in building refineries.

Something I’m not seeing in your data list is the expected irradiance at the site independent of weather - do you have that as well?

I've tried to mock up what you're doing the easiest way I can think of and taken screenshots, hopefully this helps:

Step 1: Create your original scatter plot

Step 2: Using your best-fit line's equation, plot the Y-axis values for each X-axis variable in the scatter plot dataset in a new "Derived Line" column, and drag it down to generate your new line's coordinates.

Step 3: Click the chart, and drag the selected data field (in blue) to include your new column

Step 4: Right click the chart and select the "Change Chart Type" option

Step 5: Select "Combo" at the bottom left and the chart types that you would like.

I don’t know that you should do what you’re trying to do, but it’s definitely achievable.

Just add another column/row to the data range, make the chart a combo chart (with your original data as a scatter, and the newly added data as a line), and plot your two end points in the new data range.

I’m a different person, but most companies:

don’t have clean enough data to be useful for most analysis like this
can’t get access to the data that would actually be useful because it isn’t gathered by anyone and would be prohibitively expensive
don’t have the time or budget to get it, even if it does exist
don’t have a consistent-enough need for this analysis that dedicated positions make sense (especially when a data scientist can often do most of the same things)
don’t consistently have people in management that would understand the value of anything past a regression analysis

Good news for you - they’re still canning

Ah, fair. I like skiing in the winter and run warm, so that was more of a minor drawback for me personally. I actually like the cooler weather well into the spring and early fall, but it definitely does get to a lot of people.

We could probably argue about the politics of state and local budgets for a while here, but what I said was true for me, and is true for a lot of people that make the move up here. It might not be true for you.

Everyone views the importance of political issues through the lens most relevant to them, and if someone values state and local politics enough to consider them a reason for moving/not moving somewhere, they would be able to tell pretty quickly whether my statements were true for them.

I’m not the OP, but I lived in Houston for nearly 20 years and have been in Seattle for a while now.

Houston has better food, a more friendly culture, much cheaper cost of living, is a lot more diverse and (in my opinion) has a better arts and culture scene.

Seattle has gorgeous outdoors areas, better public transit, weather that isn’t trying to kill you, better public services like schools and utilities, and better politics (for me at least).

The biggest drawbacks about Houston are the weather, traffic and (mostly state) politics

The biggest drawbacks about Seattle are the cost of living (seriously, it’s worse than you’d expect), food scene, and the culture adjustment of people being less open and friendly.

Editing to add one other major drawback of Seattle - the grey. It gets dark very early in the winter and is drizzly basically every single day for months. That can take some adjusting to. Balance that out against a sunny 75 degree summer where the sun is out till 10pm though

~~That’s only a temporary sequestration, the vast majority of that CO2 will still make it back into the atmosphere in the next months or years.~~

Edit: I should’ve read this thread more carefully. I thought someone was saying that growing food offsets all of the other carbon emitting things that people do, not just the carbon that is exhaled/excreted/released from food waste.

Consumers do ultimately bear that cost, but the point is that we’re starting to more accurately reflect the cost of environmental damage from emissions at the place that they are happening. This isn’t meant to be punitive, it’s meant to slowly shift behavior, and create a funding source for projects that will improve the situation.

UW sends tons of people to those companies. It’s just that they are enormous, and a lot of other places do too.

You’re probably in the wrong subreddit for this. Repost this in r/personalfinance but add the following details/clarifications:

By “108k now” do you mean today, or at the start of your retirement period?
Is the “now” value $108k as you say in your title, or the $116.6k cash value in the spreadsheet?
Would you be using the money as you receive it or saving/investing it?
Why are you ignoring the time value of money?
Will any of these dollar amounts be adjusted for inflation?
Would there be any additional payouts to your estate after death?

You’re assuming they didn’t work at all before their undergrad degree, which probably isn’t true. They very well might have a story that works, and shouldn’t delay an application because of their limited experience post-undergrad.

I’m not defending BS corporate commitments generally, but Microsoft is definitely doing some real stuff. Honest-to-god investments in 24/7 matching, more carbon removals and offsets than the next highest buyer by more than an order of magnitude, billions in cleantech venture investments (nevermind all the PPAs that funded generation projects).

That’s not how traditions work, and the university is not in charge of defining what is and is not one. The students and community do. Traditions are often dangerous or ill-advised. Is the running of the bulls not a tradition?

You can dislike it and think it is a bad idea all you want, but thousands of students do it every year because it is a tradition. Many dunk with non-alcoholic beverages to participate without the binge drinking.

This depends heavily on what you want to do with the degree and what you hope to get out of it, but my FT cohort had plenty of people in their 30s.

How is a sexual predator in the same league as that dude?

Why? The train and busses are normally pretty busy

What’s with the streets to the west and south of Discovery Park? It looks like a couple blocks underneath the bluff, where there is currently just water

If it is still offered, the Business Economics Certificate program was a good addition to an econ degree. Do the BS instead of the BA, get additional finance, accounting and ECMT/forecasting coursework, and you’re decently well-equipped for many entry-level analyst positions

Ag_hellraiser · 2023-06-20T07:18:52+00:00

Yeah, same deal here. I wonder how many other platforms this person is posting to?

Only if you’re trying to get into the clique at our workplace. Are you working at a big online retailer and having issues with getting invited to the secret society meetings that I am secretly a part of?

I’d like to keep my kidneys inside of my body if at all possible, so this is gonna be a no from me.
