The problem is that locals didn't know much and couldn't build shit, the russians who came or were sent there were building bridges, tunnels, power plants, railroads, mines, fucking spaceport, as well as a shit ton of civil infrastructure and factories, universities and all that. If this is how people "validate their claims" than I guess other countries did that wrong.

everyone forgets the homie jb straubel

Why the shit doesn't MacD's have chili burgers in Texas... of all places... WEAK! (thanks for the info though!!)

Washington was nice enough to leave a 1 mile hike from the nearest train station when they built their stadium. For burning off the calories of overpriced food.

You should juxtapose Ukraine, if you have the data. Ukraine is losing housing to the war and Russia is not...

Nevermind the fact that I casually glanced right past that tid bit haha. That's quite a bit more reasonable.

I analyzed my wpm data a couple years ago and I tend to read 350-500wpm depending on subject/complexity. At an average of 300 words per Kindle page, 81 pages per hour equates to 402 wpm. (edit: google seems to suggest 400wpm is normal for lifelong/heavy readers)

I spent ~$5,065 on groceries (unprepared food and household supplies) and ~$635 on prepared food (restaurants and fast food)

Wow, that's a beautiful graph! Still, it leaves me extremely torn as its beauty alone just can't get me over critiquing its functionality. But devisive is good, as devisive gets people to talk.

Mind sharing a bit more information on the R packages and approach you used?

one of the best works on this sub in a long time! cool visualization and topic!

Why are people so concerned with eating so much protein? Tell me just how many people in your life have suffered complications from too much protein. Now tell me how many people have health problems from overconsumption of sugar.

Also, of the people who over consume food to the point of overweightedness, how many of them overconsume grilled chicken, steamed shrimp, seared salmon, or other foods whose calories are mostly made up from protein? It's okay; I already know the answer.

Do you eat your receipts? How the hell did you eat for a full year on $600 -ish?

Do you buy rice and grow your own vegetables? Do you scavenge road kill? What is your secret?

The green ones should also be in red; eating this food up to your daily caloric intake would be an insufficient amount of protein for hypertrophy.

Seattle's stadium is right downtown next to pioneer square, very central

I really really love this, what a great idea!

Interesting question! I looked, and 9 were rereads, 5 of which were of Tana French books.
It's hard to define how many books I have going at once, but let's say it's the number of books on any given day that that a) I've started, b) I have yet to finish, and c) I do eventually finish.
By that definition, I have had anywhere between 1-6 "in progress", with a median of 2. But of course I do put down books for long periods of time, so I don't think those really count (tho I didn't exclude them)

It's a term that can be kind of pejorative for books that aren't literary fiction (literary fiction: think stuff that you read in English class/gets major awards/reviewed in big publications). In my case, that category is mostly made up of mysteries and historical fiction,

I just feel like home can be distracting and the office can provide more opportunities for collaboration. It sounds like your work was more individual and independent as opposed to collaborative and codependent.

Good question. So to be honest, the answer is because for the last few years, it feels like I've done nothing but code (clearly that is not the case). In another life, I took some graphic design classes and fell in love with it. This wasn't a professional project. I wasn't extrapolating any great insights. It was purely for me. And I wanted to go back to messing around with graphic design tools.
