What figure are we supposed to be looking at? And what makes them beautiful, it's just the most simple line plot there could be.

disagree, it's not beautiful. Plotting curves with different ranges is very misleading (in first plot). This would be a good example of how NOT to present data.

The fact that there is technically a secret word somewhere in the legend, that allows someone to be able to decipher it, doesn't negate that the plot is poorly presented. No one should have to make the effort to go searching to understand the presentation.

>There's no reason to have two axis on one graph like that, unless you're intentionally trying to be disingenuous.

Not completely true -- it's somewhat common to have two vertical axes in a graph that's trying to show a correlation between two charts. However, when those axes are showing the same unit, then yes, it does seem like it would be intentionally misleading. This graph in particular was justifiably criticized for its misleading nature.

Sadly, neither of these were productive and so they weren't included, but trust me, there was a lot of time spent here.

>- Arguing with supervisors

This was included in "Meeting". There was a lot of this too.

> - Emailing Supervisors

Included in "Administration". I remember one morning spending an hour and a half writing an email. Not procrastinating, not staring at the screen, actually writing.

Oh yeah, Putin sure did wonders to international tourism, although Russia didnt really banned any countries from visiting, it's unadvisable to do so while war is waging. Whether I travel myself is highly debatable, as I plan to do so with my best friends on their car and they always laugh how I am such a city boy and will not survive the trip. Primorsk is surely to be one of the destinations as I do like idea of having an access to big water. Also fish... I am a sucker for a fresh fish.

That earthquake was indeed horrible, but it also shaped Tashkent to its current state of modern city. You have my sympathy for that fire as well. It's always a great shame to lose historic buildings.

You should definitely try visiting Uzbekistan as tourist. Well maybe not now as prices went up thanks to all the Russians who hide from mobilization there, but it is a great experience nevertheless. Well unless you are vegetarian or vegan. Local food is unfriendly to vegetarians and completely incompatible to vegans. Although there are adaptations but they are not the same obviously. One good demonstration of uzbek food are easily found on YouTube as our tourism ministry finally realised that power of food bloggers is considerable one and invited every big shot like Mark Wiens and Sonny from Best Ever Food review show. They filmed excellent high quality production videos, interest to Uzbekistan finally plummeted and BAAAM. CORONOVIRUS In all its glory. Timing was so bad that I literally cried.

It's amazing that you said all that, and none of it is true or relevant. Nothing is stopping companies from having janitors, nor forcing companies to pay someone with no experience, the same as someone with 5 years experience. There is plenty of cash in most companies to pay low wage workers. If there isnt enough money in a company to fairly compensate staff then they shouldn't be in business.

For the millionth time, this sub is not about aesthetically pleasing data. The fact that it’s very hard to glean information from this graph makes it an actually very poor fit.
