  Consistency has, somewhat ironically, never been a hallmark of conservative politics. The good ol days where great, but let's not have a discussion about THOSE parts of them.

  Perhaps one of the largest differences between the parties is that while conservatives try and mask and claim their bad past was no big deal, liberals typically admit they fucked up and look to improve.

  An unlisted effect occurs with game controllers using vibrate that breaks the fourth wall. While the character wields the gun, the controller will vibrate continuously even when not firing.

  Far too early to math all the numbers, but one note to this is that it's entirely possible to start with a median metric and switch to mean from there, their argument being how that's not possible right off the bat.

  Start off at a median number, which statisticians love because it flattens out the effects of excessive weights on any particular segment, such as we have in the USA with a small number of obscenely rich people.

  But then strip the anomaly from the dataset and recalculate the mean and get a proper average. The median may not move any meaningful amount, but without the anomaly the mean becomes more true to the sample.

  Tell a Minnesota native it's gonna be 32 degrees and they'll be out in shorts either way you measure.

  It's the one part of Murica measurements that makes decent sense. Science aside I just want to know what to wear that day in a human scale.
