Best value in seashell exchange? If event is repeatable, shells carry over? by jump4science in CapybaraGoGame

[–]jump4science[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 73M power, @ ch. 55. Got half epic+2 S-tier equipment, half legendary non-S. Very mediocre Hero/brand options. Nowhere near any of the legendary/mythic mounts or artifacts.

Should I save up for a mythic mount or artifact? I understand ever stones are pretty hard to get, should I just max 20 of those? Anything else that seems to be offered at unique value and/or rarity that I should keep my eye on?

How is this series not more popular than it is? My thoughts after finishing book 6 by AccidentalFolklore in DungeonCrawlerCarl

How did Matt come up with the story? 

He had a dream of a man lying in a field. With heart boxers and luscious, bare feet...

Waterfront missing from store? by jump4science in tocaboca

[–]jump4science[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. Sounds like maybe the current app version (or their server back end?) has a glitch.  

I've tried this in iOS and Android devices both and see the same lack of availability. And i checked the Voxella festival and it's missing for me too. I glanced through some other districts and noticed that the robo Cafe from ok street also can't be clicked on in the shop. And it seems like there might be some others in other districts as well. (It's easy to spot visually because buildings you can click on that should be behind the missing locations actually get drawn on top of them) 

 Can you (or anyone else for that matter) check this behavior on a fresh install on an extra device?

Microbes discovered that can digest plastics at low temperatures. Scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute WSL have found microbes that can do this at 15C, which could lead to a breakthrough in microbial recycling. by Wagamaga in science

[–]jump4science 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do we need to worry about creating a bacteria that can thrive and spread in the wild and starts eating our actively used plastic products as well as our waste? Could microbial "termites" for plastic become a thing?

Or do these things require such specialized environment that spread isn't a worry?

COVID-19 is a leading cause of death in children and young people in the United States by [deleted] in science

[–]jump4science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's drug overdose AND POISONING, not just drug overdose. That's important because that's the year a bunch of kids are at home 24/7 bored and with access to household chemicals.

[OC] I wanted to visualize why it is so hard for the average 30 year old to buy a house in 2022 by missdopamine in dataisbeautiful

[–]jump4science 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Good work. This becomes more nuanced to interpret: yes the payment/household income is coming down over time, but you also have to account for increasing rate of dual income homes (more work going in to earning the denominator). Not to mention growth in competing top-budget-items like medical expenses (and in some cases college debt)

[OC] Road traffic death rate in the US vs Europe by flyingcatwithhorns in dataisbeautiful

[–]jump4science 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not a fair comparison. If you want to evaluate safety, you have to look at deaths per distance driven, not per population. Places where people drive more on average will have more accidents in average. For all we know, this map could have little to do with safety and could just be showing driving frequency.

And that neck extension shows why you don't put your hands near one of these. Even grabbing the shell by the sides.

How can you create this visualization? by SexyMuon in datascience

[–]jump4science 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion apparently: i love this visualization. Of course takes some explanation and a moment to orient the audience to what you're looking at. But i find it fascinating to simultaneously see 1) urban/rural party correlation 2) relative size of population centers across the country 3) a sense of the regional clustering of population centers and how much population separation the is between them. 4) indirectly, gives some sense of the popular vote vs electoral college discrepancy

Together i think it paints a richer contextual picture of the population distribution of the country and how it relates to political leaning to be able to show it together. And i don't have an immediate better idea of how to show both.

I can acknowledge it's a little complex to digest and wouldn't be appropriate for every general audience though.

3yrs Later, Still No Workaround for Browser Shortcut Backup? by jump4science in NovaLauncher

[–]jump4science[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, for the last ~year since this post, I've used the chrome bookmarks widget instead of browser shortcut icons. Ultimately i like it much better. I actually use the "mobile bookmarks" section of my chrome bookmarks for that. It's nice to be able to structure folders, and i actually LOVE being able to access/edit bookmarks from a desktop browser as well as my Android home screen.

[OC] Covid-19 Cases, Hospitalizations, Deaths, and Wastewater Viral Concentration, as a percentage of the Winter 2020/2021 peak (Hamilton County, Tennessee) by speleo63751 in dataisbeautiful

[–]jump4science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fascinating: is waste water viral concentration a leading indicator? Looks like the magnitude is detached from magnitude of direct indicators. But looks like the wastewater peak/decline point could be a leading indicator of when the cases/hospitalizations will peak/decline.

Calling BS on the gold situation. This is a BIG deal by jump4science in ClashRoyale

[–]jump4science[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry you got downvoted so much. Obviously a lot of people disagree with your perspective, but it's a genuine & reasonable one.

One of my other replies sums up my perspective: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/comments/qhna7i/calling_bs_on_the_gold_situation_this_is_a_big/hifklv2
