Wrong, barely anything gets planted in deforested Amazon. Sugar in particular is planted in the south east region.

The biggest causes of deforestation are logging (so you get partial marks), and cattle ranching, and mining. All of that with a lot of support from 1st world companies

just in time for Erdoğans election - guess he was cozying up to BRICS too much

Unfortunately it is not as simple as that. Russia has trouble with replacement officer count, especially since it drafted a huge number of conscripts in a very short time, for which they have mostly provided minimal training. To me the increase in ratio actually corresponds to what I would expect when reading about situation on front lines.

How much of this is bull and how much of it is real? I’d like to see the data

400 officers dead in on day sounds absolutely ridiculous

I remember the aftershocks were the worst after the Loma Prieta Earthquake. The ground would not stop shaking. Very emotional and scary. I remember crying out one night to the earth to just stop. Can’t imagine what these folks are going through with an even stronger earthquake.

Thanks! I didn't know that there was such a huge difference between 7.5 & 7.8... do you know any logarithmic scale that denotes these quakes? I want to see how it looks when plotted..

It's almost the case, but it's not. I read the whole thing. Clicked There are dozens of differentiators, with gender differences across nearly all of them. So yes, women tend to prefer taller partners and men tend to prefer shorter.

But when women were asked to talk about what they meant by "expectations" height wasn't highlighted. Nor was wealth, nor any of that bullshit. Again, because I guess you didn't get it before, and because we're being condescending to each other:

Women more than men report having a greater number of potential deal breakers when it comes to dating. They are also more likely to report having difficulty finding someone who meets their expectations. But for many young women, dating expectations refer less to a laundry list of must-have qualities and more to basic standards of how they wish to be treated.[8]

It's not about height, or fitness, or symmetry, or money. Or maybe it is, if you're a shitty person with nothing else to offer. If you listen to what women are saying, it's that they want to be treated to a higher standard of respect. That's the lack of measuring up that matters, not being 6ft+

It's almost as if you stopped reading the article at that point and didn't keep scrolling to physical features. Literally says that height matters more to women than men.

HAARP was put to good use on this one 🤣

I see what you’re saying - but it doesn’t really show anything beyond a quite vague correlation at best. OP furthermore states that the ratio has increased from 30:1 to an estimated 70:1 , which could hint at Ukraine exaggerating the casualties if you’d assume a linear correlation.

I agree about presentation, but as regards obviousness of correlation, in war, it is a tendency for sides involved to inflate other side's losses.

So a correlation between what Ukrainian officials say, and some other independent source is actually a good sign of trustworthiness of that conflict side's data, which is not necessarily true for a country in war.

Came here to say this. Most folks still don’t realize this about earthquakes, the chart should take an opportunity to educate, not just inform.

No offense, but the data is neither beautifully displayed nor insightful. Isn’t it already obvious that they would correlate? Or, what are we supposed to take from the data?

Since magnitude is a logarithmic scale, showing it on a linear scale is rather misleading.

The 7.8 and 7.5 quakes were ~10x as intense in amplitude as the next highest and ~1000x as intense as all the 4s.

(If we’re talking size in energy released, the difference between 7.5 and 6.5 is 32x — meaning the 7.8 and 7.5 quakes were more energetic than all the others combined.)

What's the dark brown band in the middle for?

The USGS only reports +M4 globally and +M2 in the US.

The dashboard linked is produced by @ragnarbjartur, but I'm the one who collected the officers's date of death.

Here's a visualization for the first 7 months.

It takes at least 5 months to get 90%+ of the data for a particular time period, by my estimate.

The troops:officer killed ratio was approximately 30:1 during the first month of the invasion and about 50:1 during the 6-7 months that followed. I'm also using known publication date of officer death that's not showing in the dashboard to make those estimates. I suspect the ratio increased to ~70:1 or perhaps even higher after the Kherson evacuation.

Okay, but none of them are displayed on this graph. I would bet a paycheck that there were hundreds of quakes between 2.5 and 4.0; this graph implies there were none. That's all.

Wow dude. That's fascinating.

I guess... I've never really thought about it until now. Your post gave the idea. I wonder if it can give you predictions based on information?

Yeah that's not what they're saying. Women are less likely to settle for someone who treats them shitty. It's not about making a certain amount of money, or being a certain height - it's about treating your partner with respect.

If what any of these women are asking for seems hugely unrealistic to you, that's a YOU problem.

One 19-year-old women says that she’s looking for mutual respect in a relationship and someone who approaches issues with an open mind.

I don’t want to be in a relationship where somebody’s not open-minded about things that I want to do. Like if they have their point of view on something and I have a different point of view, I would like to have like a conversation about it. Another young woman, a 22-year-old college student, echoes this sentiment. For her, feeling respected and being with someone who is kind and considerate is paramount.

Pretty much my biggest thing is respect. . . . If we’re in a relationship, you shouldn’t have any dating apps on your phone at all. Like, I don’t care if we met on one or anything like that. We are in a relationship. I don’t need you going and looking at what’s on the market. She says she is mostly looking for affirmation that her partner is invested in their relationship.

We ask for simple things, you know, remembering things that we talked about in conversations. You know, flowers occasionally. Date nights. Every once in a while, just to have that reassurance that our relationship is worthwhile and feeling like we can spend really great quality time together and share special moments.

I asked chat gpt for brief descriptions of various super bowls to help me remember how they played out so i could assess the ranking as I was building it. I also experimented with asking it broadly and non quantitatively “was this super bowl exciting?” “was that one?” to see if it was directionally agreeing with my scoring.

I did not go so far as to try and involve chat gpt directly in computing the score. How might that work? Simply ask it “please give a 1-10 score to the excitement level of recent super bowls”?

You’re right the labels are not very accessible to people without quite a bit of NFL domain knowledge. I had a hard time getting relevant info into them without them getting too long or taking too much real estate in the overall viz…but of course there should be a key. Thanks for the feedback!

nflfastr provides the win probabilities. the calculate win probability function docs have more info!

Thank you again for the comment!

When my city experienced a 7.2 magnitude earthquake almost a decade ago I remember feeling regular strong aftershocks even a month after the first one hit. The aftershocks are gonna be triggering for sure. I pray for them.
