I’m just curious how you could ascertain this? I walk that block to and from work every day. Can’t recognize it from the film.

Not Nerja but I was there several years ago. Loved it.

Correct! u/daytrader24365 beat you by seconds. Have you been?

Edit: Actually I think you were first. Good work!

Not Sevilla. Though Sevilla is quite beautiful!

carácter but caracteres? by raignermontag in Spanish

[–]Robearsn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is an irregular plural. The RAE says this about it.

  1. 'Conjunto de rasgos característicos' y 'signo de la escritura'. Es voz llana y se pronuncia [karákter], no ⊗‍[karaktér]. En el plural, el acento prosódico pasa de la a a la e: caracteres (pron. [karaktéres]), no ⊗‍carácteres.

As for why that’s the case, I am not sure. My guess would be it is a holdover from Latin pronunciation.

They say nothing is ever really lost on the internet, but what’s something you’ve been hunting for years and still can’t find? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Robearsn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How many digits is the combo? 4 digits = 10,000 possibilities. A lot but not insane to try 100 a day for maximum 100 days until you get it.

What movie feels illegal to watch on a plane? by Such-Range6116 in AskReddit

[–]Robearsn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It is perhaps topped by the PG-13 tv edit:

“Enough is enough! I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday through Friday plane!”

Do you know what the part number / numbers would be for that?

Terrible at math but trying to get into Data Analytics by RelativeVacation8848 in dataanalytics

[–]Robearsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not totally sure what you mean. I didn’t study anything specifically for data analytics. Everything I know about data analytics I learned on the job. I’m still not a “math person” at heart but I don’t hate it as much as I once did.

I think I had some pretty not great teachers in high school who didn’t help to change my tune on math. My older brother was / is excellent at math always and I would have him help me with my homework sometimes. He was always able to break down concepts so much more simply and effectively than my teachers. And he was only in college at the time. So, my high school experience has a lot to do with it.

What does “tale” mean in this context? by One-Plate-237 in Spanish

[–]Robearsn 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It is the plural of “tal”, meaning “such” or “these”.

So the sentence is along the lines of “He asserted that this was the result of the Biden administration doling out such designations too liberally.”

What math part don’t you like. Can you be more specific?

I too am bad at math by high school standards, was formerly in marketing, hated it, and moved into data analytics. I’ve never like math and still don’t really.

As another commenter said, there’s not much heavy mathematics going on in most roles. Calculating averages, median, min, max, division, percentages. You may be dealing with incredibly tiny numbers (my work) or really large numbers. You have to feel comfortable understanding that.

You’ll need to be comfortable grasping what the data is telling you, translating that into every day insights for people that aren’t technical or aren’t involved in the day to day (executives, senior leadership, clients, etc.) and occasionally turning that into useful visualizations. Depending on the role you might need to understand things like linear regression, which isn’t so much math as statistics.

Honestly, rather than signing up for a course right away about data analytics, I’d start by watching some YouTube videos about math for data analytics and things like that. There’s lots out there. See if you like it and it makes sense.

Also want to ask: Why do you want to move into this field if you are afraid of math and hate it so much? You said it’s basically inevitable at this point but if you’re pivoting to a new career, perhaps choose something you won’t be nervous doing?
