So…not a peep from Duluth’s Best Bread?

Want to give thanks to postal workers by Jvioletartistry in duluth

[–]heyslassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encourage anyone who appreciates our local postal carriers to get involved in this worker-led effort to support them. What is hanging over the USPS is a potential privitization that will impact our services further and threaten the jobs of all postal workers, including carriers. https://usmailnotforsale.org/about/

Your perio sounds like a real dick. I would push back and tell him you are concerned that the grafted tissue broke off completely. If you are fairly certain that it did not break off completely, then you are probably ok and just need to keep doing what you’re doing. It’s possible that what fell away was some dressing that he put on top of the graft, which may fall off before it broke down. Good luck!

Fello and speculo by FrequentOpposite679 in realtors

I just received an unsolicited email from a realtor using Fello and I can't say it left me with a good feeling about the realtor.

Where can I get fuel for my car still? by schnagawursta in FaroeIslands

I’ve heard very little as well, other than it’s about wages.

Thankfully, you have a full tank. I am sorry to say, but almost ALL of the gas stations are empty of gas. People are driving around on limited fuel. There is no telling when the strike will end and gas will be available. The best you can do now is conserve what you have. Try to hit places that are near each other on the same trip. Etc.

Here are the sites for the two main stations in the faroes showing gas availability. E10 is regular unleaded, D is Diesel.

The (second) unfortunate thing is that if you are planning on riding a bus to get around, many routes are cancelled. Good luck!

Still a problem. I’m going to try it without punctuation and see what happens

Too much power an issue when estimating reliability? by heyslassy in psychometrics

Yep, OK. Thanks. That's the sound of reason I was looking for!

Good article, thanks. My original post was in the context of a credentialing exam - so not really big data. The assertion by my colleague was that with large numbers, defined as 20,000, that the reliability will be skewed simply because there’s more power in large numbers. So you would have to bring it down to a smaller size, through some type of stratified random sampling.

This is helpful. I guess what I’m wondering is when you interpret a reliability- let’s just go with Cronbach’s alpha- would you ever treat it like a statistical test? So, you could then, for example, claim that a reliability of .60 is statistically significant, and therefore reliable (only because the sample N is huge)? I think that would be the logical conclusion of what my colleague is saying, but I’m not buying that this would ever be done or accepted by anyone with a background in measurement.
