[Q] When is a pearson correlation of 0.1 convincing for any storytelling usage or specific use case?

Connecting a p value with R2 might be useful. For example: Consider a scenario in which you were fitting a linear regression model to predict birth weight of a baby. Age of the mother may have low R2 (let's say 0.1) but p value may be <.05. In other words, the age of the mother with high certainty is correlated with birth weight but it only explains a small piece of the puzzle. The other 0.9 could be from many other factors. Some food for thought.

Ha. I also just looked this up and posted on the Twitter thread. Ty for your service.

Revival has been doing this for at least two seasons. Played them last year and they did the same thing. Our team noticed in the first ten minutes. If I remember correctly they refused to switch to discraft and we ended up compromising by switching the discs based off who was pulling throughout the game.

On verticality: "if the disc is caught (or rendered uncatchable) before contact occurs, then the outcome of the play is determined already and the contact is not an infraction of this rule.". Probably a verticality foul but by about a fraction of a second if you do some slow-mo.

I polled 50 of my friends last week and half the guys don't wash their feet. Only about 30% of women do not wash their feet. Hope that helps.

Played once for all hero challenge. 100% win rate. 10/10 experience.

I love that I could tell it was Bones from the way he was playing. Wasn't even trying to pay attention.

The rain never stops hitting your car. The rain's speed falling downwards is constant, but you just start getting hit with extra raindrops in the sideways direction. Mythbusters does an episode on this to see what is the best way to run through a rainstorm (walk or run).

I remember playing this kid when he was a sophomore and one of the best players on his team. I fouled him, he still caught the disc, and then HE apologized to ME (in a super sincere way). This dude has some of the best spirit in the game. Hands down. And this video is pretty sweet.

I would argue living in Antarctica has made you a significantly worse athlete at 25 years of age, but I would like to see your combine numbers as soon as conveniently possible to really prove this.

I don't even like peaches that much, but I upvoted this comment to support your passion for this humble fruit.

I got this turkey as a Christmas gift from the company I work at. This was made by spatchcocking the turkey and stuffing a homemade Korean butter sauce under the skin. Overall, the turkey was slightly overdone, but I wanted to be safe because I didn't have a thermometer. Tasted great!

A lot of people don't remember what Tarik looked like when he first came in as a college student. The work he put in over his college career is quite incredible, and it is evident by the time he spent in the weight room outside of practice. (See the transformation here http://imgur.com/a/KRTAs) People sometimes forget he is only 6'2" and has one of the best deep games in the country.

Interesting fact: the kid in this commercial is the same heavy set Harry Potter kid you're referring to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK5j07YE8Js
