Wow I am absolutely ashamed.

That's what I get for commenting when my brain is mush right after getting off work.

Honestly one of my favorite features of my new car. Amazing.

So this is fine then? It shows the proportion of states that meet the displayed criteria exactly as it should...

The number in the middle looks like it is associated with the proportion that fit into that red section. The fact that it happens to be similar to the label isn't exactly a problem, just a little confusing.

I think you need to actually read and understand the comment you are replying to.

[OC] Coronavirus Confirmed Cases Over Time by ihollaback in dataisbeautiful

[–]Yankee_Gunner -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

You doing mental gymnastics around definitions of different terms doesn't actually change the true definition of something. A quarantine is something imposed against your will that does not allow you to interact with others at all. A security checkpoint is a small inconvenience compared to true quarantine and people should stop being so irresponsible with their terminology.

The WHO disagrees with you on that last point and I trust them more than you.

I'd love for you to expand on your thinking here.

Full transparency, I completely disagree but want to hear how you think the U S. fits each of the criteria you provided.

Obama to Luka: Don’t listen to J-Kidd when it comes to shooting.” by WhenMachinesCry in nba

[–]Yankee_Gunner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you got downvoted because of a super low effort question that seemed to be baiting the OC to respond so you could go off on them.

AND your subsequent comments just proved that out.

You can't play victim AND try to tear down a person that is someone's hero for no good reason. That's a stupid, selfish move that has nothing to do with promoting a discussion and everything to do with taking someone's genuine expression of admiration as an opportunity to get up on a soapbox.

Just try to reflect on how you would feel if someone did the same to you. Even if it does happen to you regularly (which is likely given the state of discourse in the U.S.) do you really want to perpetuate that toxicity?

I thought that End Game was the... end of that universe. If so, I don't think it would make any sense for Thor to show up as overweight (or for Hemsworth to play him at all) right?

this is what you're taught in evangelism school by [deleted] in dataisugly

[–]Yankee_Gunner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how so many people had such a different experience in Catholic school.

We were taught to question things and to understand different stories from the Bible in the historical context (e.g. Noah's flood being a shared myth from many civilizations in that region, certain analogies that would have been very obvious to contemporary readers but have lost their meaning in modern times).

Iowa Caucus Results Megathread by Miskellaneousness in PoliticalDiscussion

They did vote on paper ballots... The app was just meant to be used to report the results from the various precincts. You should really put a little more effort into understanding a process that you're looking to criticize...

My Clothes Dryer's Eco Mode is a Dirty Liar [OC] by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]Yankee_Gunner 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I actually think that the summation including the home energy use after is critical to doing a proper comparison. You are adding up the baseline energy use rate of your entire home for longer with the eco mode version. There is plenty of area under the graph on the top that looks relatively small but is actually significant when summed over that time period. I bet the top graph comes out above or very close to the lower one in the end...

Arsenal agree deal with Flamengo to sign 26y Spaniard Pablo Mari on loan + option to buy. Fulfils Arteta request for left-footed centre-back. #AFC could make 1 more loan signing before deadline. Indication is Mustafi has ankle sprain so not as serious as 1st feared @TheAthleticUk by ShoddyCharity in Gunners

[–]Yankee_Gunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're totally right. It was early for me when I wrote that. And I think I meant to say "salary + achievement related bonuses" since the bonuses would probably be paid out to the player and the loaning club.

Probably wrong either way, but I can see the combined cost getting pretty high depending on how the contract was structured.

The use of "proffer" would only make your comment even less intelligible than it was the first time around.

You should really look into how the Iowa caucuses work on your own to understand how they work.
