The 20th Maine was a regiment though, where the heading here is units/companies. It's a bit unclear what's meant by 'unit' in the heading, which could mean a bunch of possible size groupings, but company refers to a smaller unit, of which a regiment would normally be composed of 10. So 20 regiments would mean about 200 companies.

Some more clarity on what unit sizes are actually being represented would probably make this graphic a lot easier to properly appreciate.

Made with Python (Seaborn, Calplot, Pandas), Draw.io

SOURCE: Personal data collection, own data archive from DoorDash

I started recording my daily earnings and tips with DoorDash from the start of the year, intended to do so until the end of the year, but after losing “Top Dasher” status (keep an order acceptance of 70% or more) I got less dashing opportunities.

Note: Earnings do not include CA Prop 22 benefits After prop 22 it amounts to about 32k income from DoorDash

if it was VA i think "US Military Service" would be somewhere on OP's timeline! haha.

but even Medicare ... vast majority of ligament surgery is often deemed 'elective'. like pancreas removal, sure, thats a life threatening condition. but rotator cuff surgery?

i can hardly get my insurance to pay for an MRI to see if i NEED rotator cuff surgery...

It is unlikely that you are being targeted. Reddit has a legion of ways to secretively remove or suppress posts that are applied haphazardly, as well as mods who will almost always remove posts once they hit r/all (if you don’t believe me, check out the redditminusmods subreddit). In this case, incompetence is more likely than malice. Looks like it is showing up fine now though

I’m not a doctor but my job entails a lot of communication through both text and visuals. So do what you want with my feedback!

It doesn’t matter that you’re comfortable sharing it. If you’re going to share it with others to introduce them to the concept in any kind of formal setting, you can’t use personal information. Not only is it highly unconvential, but it also draws the attantion away from your concept and towards yourself. I don’t think that’s what you want. You want the people to think «hey, this is a neat concept», not «f**k, this guy has had it rough».

The only way I could think of to incorporate your history into it is if you’re doing a brief and you start with your history/motivation, then present the concept with personas, and then circle back to how the concept would look for yourself. At that point the listeners would be familiar with you and the concept individually, and it’s easier to merge them without drawing the attention away from the concept. They will be reminded of your strong story and you show them how your concept can help explain it in an efficient and understandable way.

I like the idea of communicating medical information efficiently, but the implementation gets a hard pass from me. It doesn’t help that it’s cool looking if it doesn’t provide any additional value.

The scales aren’t standardized, there are no guidelines for what should be included, the emojiis takes all the attention instead of the medical information, the colour gradient doesn’t add any new information, and everything is given equal attention regardless of the importance of the event. You’re also using personal information which is a giant no-no. Use a fictious persona.

There are plenty of people who are both willing and able, as evidenced by the constantly climbing prices and sales.

But if it’s 1000% harder to do a new build due to the government not issuing permits, and due to red tape from NIMBY people, then it’s easier to buy than to build.

It SHOULDN’T be that way, though. The people who already own homes want their properties to keep appreciating in value, and they know that the best way they can ensure that continues is to prevent new builds.

This isn’t rocket science

I always forget that one. Homeless twice (once when my family was evicted) once when my partner died and coudnl't keep paying for stuff alone.

It seems like another life time. Owning a home seems like the big step, but to be honest, feeling safe, anywhere was a bigger one!
