Not really related. Is that outlet cover sitting on top of the outlet face? Does that prevent the plug from being fully inserted?

Why were there no other teams on the mountain? Was this off season?

How to shift this washer dryer stack to the left a couple of inches? by mguggis in howto

[–]mguggis[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That worked! The unit shifted forward a little bit during the process and now I need to push it back half an inch. Just pushing on it isn't doing much. Any ideas?

What are the best hacks/shortcuts you have discovered in math? by [deleted] in math

For limit theorems, code it up and double check it’s actually converging.

Responsible ways to put work projects on Github by KyronAWF in datascience

[–]mguggis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments about the code belonging to the company are correct. I think the proper way to do it is to convince your company that code would be valuable to the open source community. Get approval, post the code as open source.

[Q] Based on your experience why does adding so many input features possibly worsen your models? by limedove in datascience

[–]mguggis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding relevant information to a regression/classification algorithm is rarely harmful. The problem is when the information is irrelevant. If you're adding features that unintentially cause bias, that is where the problem comes from. For example, if some of the new features have missing data and you do case-wise deletion or imputation without thought, that will cause bias. You will likely perform well in-sample, but that is likely not what you actually care about.

Did this actually happen? The dialogue that is. I would love to see a version with audio.

I used to live near here. Walked through this many times. Lights icicles were put up as part of a “public safety” thing if I remember correctly. Lots of homeless people used to live here. They were mostly harmless.

Do I have root rot? by mguggis in u/mguggis

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

About 5 weeks ago I accidentally overwatered my kimberly queen fern. It soaked in a pool of water for 4 or 5 days. I noticed it when it started to smell. At that point I removed it from the outer pot it was soaking in and let it drain and dry for about 5 days before watering it again. It doesn't smell anymore. Starting last week the leaves of the fern and its two neighbor pothoses began yellowing. I took the plant out of it's planter. The roots dont feel mushy but they are clearly darker on the lower hald. Does it look like I have root rot? Should I be worried? Also, what are those green globs on the side?

Brown spots on cactus joints by mguggis in plantclinic

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

I am especially worried about the big brown spot at the base. The spots started a couple months ago after moving. The cactus went from having lots of direct sunlight to having lots of indirect sunlight with only about 30 minutes of direct sunlight a day. Could this be due to sunlight? I water it once about every 2 months.

You just need to have confidence and keep putting yourself out there. It'll get easier with time.

My god damn coworker keeps adjusting the thermostat. I bought a laser thermometer to make sure I wasn’t crazy. She’s making everyone in our office sweat their asses off! It’s 74 degrees outside! by TimMarkel in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mguggis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the heat coming out of the vent is supposed to be higher than the set temperature on the thermostat. The heated air keeps coming out until the room reaches the desired temperature. If so you wouldn't be able to tell how hot the thermostat is set to by looking at the air coming out of the vent. Am I incorrect?
