I found each stadium on Google Maps, went to "search nearby" and typed "Fish & Chips" – which leaves outs pubs that sell it but dont display it on their Google page

I think that’s ok for me. Because if both rose together or fell together the ratio between them would be the same.

What I’m unsure of here is exchange differences. As that could affect the real world difference between the two. Doesn’t matter if the US markets grew at double the rate if the dollar lost half its value along the way.

>trying to discount the effects of Brexit

You mean the effects shown in this graph? An increase since Brexit became formal in 2017?

Everyone has already made their minds up that Brexit is bad for Britain, and people can't even get rid of their bias with data stating the opposite.

It's the same with disclaimers like "I know Putin is the incarnation of the antichrist, but..." and then a discussion about the actual facts can begin.

Just get rid of your damn media-constructed preconceptions and approach the subject with an open mind. No disclaimers needed. Anyone replying with a partisan/political closed mind can fuck right off and be ignored easily, don't try to cater to them.

It really is a different case for each track. Some allow Baby Daisy Biddybuggy to do a lot of snaking drifts, while other tracks are longer and need more speed so they use Waluigi Biddybuggy. While Baby Daisy Biddybuggy is the fastest strictly speaking, Waluigi Wild Wiggler is the most common in competitive play due to its higher speed and weight stats.

As objective as data hypothetically should be, interpretation is subject to biases. It was to clarify that my interpretation that the graph does not show that large a shock from Brexit was not in bad faith as motivated by a desire to defend Brexit instead being my honest reading of the graph.

But that's it point. The UK has taken other knocks that are not necessarily brexit relates. E.g. We took a greater hit on natural gas prices.

So to blame this on Brexit alone seems premature based on this data set.

What would be interesting if to take this same metric from the beginning of the eurozone and compare uk, us and the EU.

You hit the nail on the head. Baby Daisy instead of Waluigi is only the better if you're already good at the game. Using her snaking drifting technique will only save time if you're one of the top speedrunners.

In multiplayer and online, having low weight is a bad thing in competitive play, as you can easily be bumped into walls or off the track. Most competitive players will use a combo with more speed, Waluigi on Wild Wiggler/Azure Roller/Paper Glider (the same one as the Mario Kart Stadium world record).

That's not really the whole answer, Baby Daisy instead of Waluigi is only better if you're already good at the game. Using her snaking drifting technique will only save time if you're one of the top speedrunners. Like, I've been doing time trials for hundreds of hours and I'm still not good enough to save time with Baby Daisy.

Most competitive players will use a combo with more speed, Waluigi on Wild Wiggler/Azure Roller/Paper Glider (the same one as the Mario Kart Stadium world record). Since this combo is a heavy one, that makes anyone using a lightweight combo vulnerable to almost everyone.
