The “adult for comparison” (light blue) seems quite different in each. Maybe vector “compression” (keeping only every 𝑛ᵗʰ vertex, perhaps fitting path in between to best resemble original) took place?

I already said I’m being a bit cynical. I can move it up a notch and even thank heat waves for culling old, sickly people who would otherwise keep using taxpayer-funded healthcare for a few more years.

More precisely: for the US, they only checked if the “cause of death” field on the certificate mentions heat but EU statistics compare to a model of how many deaths would have occurred without a heatwave. Of course heat makes lots of indirect deadly circumastances more likely. We don’t have recent studies on heat deaths with similar methodology to compare both regions but at least the gun death statistics are more clear-cut.
Also, this is a bit cynical but people who die to heat uszally had preexisting conditions and were statistically likely to die in 10 years anyway. Meanwhile most gun deaths are young adults whose productivr careers were cut short.

2 passive incomes? Yes, you can get one but for two, you need to go between the two households often enough, which requires activity on your part.

No, it isn’t. Ducks usually have smaller eyeballs and no clothes. Their testicles are internal.

Ironically, it’s fossil fuels that need subsidies now… unless solar cells are subjected to tariffs.

I once saw extremely poor fansubs. I’d attribute them to AI but sometimes they described the scene visually with no correlation to the audio. What the hell? English → Czech too, not from an obscure language.

No, I just observe enshittification. The real art is to legally (or legally enough) collect the required data, process them automatically to calculate each customer’s tolerance, and maximize profit while internalizing the risk of backlash against these unethical practices if they’re too obvious. I know the steps, but that doesn’t mean I could or would do any of them.
- Comment on Why are there so many more mtf trans vs ftm trans people?? 6 days ago:
That’s a visibility bias, which obviously exists, but medical statistics that largely eliminate it also show a big disparity.
Also this only applies to people who don’t pass, which is most trans people at some point. And wouldn’t the stigma associated with male feminine crossdressing actually discourage people from coming out and trying to get over the dreaded non-passing period?

There is a Czech cartoon character named Fifi, and she’s a bitch.
- Comment on Why are there so many more mtf trans vs ftm trans people?? 6 days ago:
Medical statistics say “there are huge error bars by methodology but it’s about 2:1”. Of course, this does include biases that make some people more likely to “find out” and “come out” but not the visibility bias (which plays some role on the former two but not as much).
- Comment on Why are there so many more mtf trans vs ftm trans people?? 6 days ago:
Medical data suggests there is about a 3:1 to 2:1 ratio. In trans spaces, this gets further amplified by the network effect: a member of a minority is more likely to stumble upon another such person if the group is larger, and the number of possible connections grows quadratically, so people pointing out bias in other comments are not entirely wrong. Similarly, medical data is probably also skewed because it’s obviously self-reported and people are more likely to come out if they feel they’ll get support and to “find out” if their kind of gender questioning process is more frequently discussed. However, these biases don’t explain all the disparity. Research is ongoing but preliminary results ssuggest that of the recessive genes that correlate with people reporting medically as trans, more exist on the X chromosome and since the vast majority of AMAB people have XY chromosomes, they only have one X copy and recessive genes (incl. “trans” ones) are more likely to manifest.

The algorithm knows this and calculates exactly how much you’re willing to pay for the convenience of a button. As soon as you get a date, they know and you get a notification: “you wouldn’t want to explain the bucket to her*, would you?”

- Comment on Surviving a heatwave : Prison Edition 1 week ago:
Yes but by reflecting >95% of the light, it does not get nearly as warm as what the light would otherwise shine on. Also, if placed outside a multi-layer window (which you should or the window may overheat and crack), the heat exchange to the inside via convection/conduction is stopped.
