Very important point, just one technical remark, because I see this a lot: You don’t necessarily want or need random samples in surveys. What you want is a probability sample, which means that you know the probability with which a person enters the sample. A random sample is a special type of probability sample, where each person has the same probability to enter the sample.

The large sample used for this “survey” in the OP is a convenience sample, which is a non-probability sample, where the persons’ probabilities to enter the sample are simply unknown. And this is often not a useful basis for a survey, because it’s affected by all sorts of response biases that are difficult to adjust for in non-probability samples.

Everything is uneventful if you just let it pass by without trying to understand it.

BARF is an acronym for biologically appropriate raw food, which is a kind of pet diet in which owners feed their pets raw food (some pet owners swear by it, I personally think it’s nonsense). This product looks like a pure supplement that is only meant to be added to raw food for extra nutrients.

The MSCI World is down about 10% in comparison with last month. All thanks to Trump’s tariff-based scheme of stock market manipulation.

As an extreme “owl”, I’m also on that journey, although it remains a struggle. What helped me a lot is to set an alarm in the evening to trigger my evening routine without depending on my internal sense of time. My preference is still different, hence the struggle, but my body accommodated to the routine fairly quickly.

You could try baobab instead.

No downvotes from me. I cycle every day, it’s my only mode of transportation, and the number of poorly adjusted lights on other people’s bikes is staggering.

Because many people in the US (and elsewhere, sadly) are not media-literate enough to understand the difference between the veracity of an article and their opinion about it.

Cereal is now stuck to the bottom of the cup.

Ah yes, the White, Blue & Red.

MFW I see that Sauron is a fellow pineapple enthusiast: “Okay, let’s hear him out.”

Slightly OT, but how did you like the game?

National IQ in the US is about to drop a couple of points.

The people who resigned originally worked for the US Digital Service, which was established in 2014 by Obama.

Relevant bit from the article, because some of y’all apparently comment before reading:

The staffers who resigned were all originally employees of the United States Digital Service, a technology unit established during President Obama’s second term in 2014. The unit was renamed and reorganized in January via executive order by Trump into the Musk-headed DOGE.

Block out your annoying wife’s contractions with these Audiophile Headphones™.

Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.

Also, his wife must’ve been enthused to see he brought all his “performance upgrades.”

Isn’t that charisma-based?

The left side is the position that definitions of intelligence are all arbitrary, and that psychologists just make up tests and call what it measures “intelligence.”

The middle is the position that there is a real thing that can be called “intelligence,” which can be defined in different (meaningful) ways, and that intelligence tests are objective ways to measure it.

The right side is the position that intelligence is probably still real and can probably still be defined in different (meaningful) ways, but that we can never directly measure intelligence and instead observe it indirectly through observable indicators like someone’s performance on an intelligence test. This means that any practical statement about intelligence, while probably real and definable, are contingent on the specific test used to measure it.
