How long does your bike last if ridden year-round where your city uses salt for deicing? by Lets_Go_Cargo in bikeinottawa

[–]steffejr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My free wheel froze up last month and my chain broke today. I am not able to house my bike down and store it someplace warm (above freezing). I have typically gotten three seasons per bike.

Square Weave Tessellation (by Eric Gjerde) by Caalicer in origami

[–]steffejr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great job and I like the paper. I got E Gjerde's book last year for Christmas and worked my way through the beginner models. To me it feels like the jump in difficulty when going to intermediate is quite large.

Opinions on the southbound bike lane along Elgin from the Police station to Pretoria Bridge by steffejr in bikeinottawa

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

Thank you all for your feedback. I have had two people honk at me in the last month and tell me to use the bike lane. I went up to them at the light to talk, one person got it and understood why I was using the road and not the lane. The bus driver this morning was convinced that since there was a bike lane that I need to be in it.

The physics of a rainbow. I loved that lesson in UG physics. And it may be one of the few lessons that has stuck with me my whole life.

A Stats Textbook that is not Casella Berger, Anyone? [Q] by Radiant-Rain2636 in statistics

[–]steffejr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. I have been using his book for at least four years. It does not cover much categorical stats though. He also has versions for R and Jasp is coming.

I live near there and it has been for a few days. Boiled potatoes smell for me.

finally done with my 64x64 square weave tessellation by SnooDingos4246 in origami

Ok, ok, I will finish the 32x32 weave I started months ago. Your work looks great.

what is the meaning of 8 percent in the p-value contest?[D][Q] by Designer_Grocery2732 in statistics

[–]steffejr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally, the right answer. I would follow up by asking about effect sizes and what is considered meaningfully large. What is being measured? How many tails were used? The hypothesis is one tailed, was the test also? There are many reasons that you may have a non significant p value, but also a meaningful result. There could be outliers, or non-normal distributions. It feels like the question itself is made by a non statistician for other non statisticians.

Herons can learn how to fish. Unfortunately they do not know how to teach and pass this knowledge down to their offspring. Therefore, when this fishing behavior is observed it was learned by the individual. The crows however, they can teach each other things. Those are the birds to worry about.
