@olgakhazan “Thank you for sharing, I will give your opinion the attention it deserves”
English
How do you nicely tell people that you don't care what they think? I literally mean "I don't care what you think," but this comes off as rude and I haven't been able to get my point across more politely
English
The population of cities in Illinois are like the Spotify streaming counts for the top songs by a one-hit wonder
English
@OGTaylorB @oldenoughtosay And IIRC if you do it the original way without establishing credibility, then a lot of what it actually shows is stability of the environment the child has grown up in rather than anything about the individual child’s ability to delay gratification
English
Yeeep! Literally everybody (not drunk) who has sat in a hot tub does the normal thing. Gets out when it's uncomfortably hot.
Right up there with the marshmallow/kid experiment. Somebody thought, "What happens if I establish credibility with the test subject first, before leaving the marashmallow on the table?"
Turns out almost all the kids wait for the promised larger number of marshmallows. KUH-RAZE-E

Has there ever been a major league baseball player who was older than the sitting President? Maybe Jamie Moyer. . ..maybe Spahn, but I don't think so. Anybody know?

@sspencer_smb @SamRo I would have guessed the bias came from the asymmetry, or something like the design of the head side being heavier, but that isn’t where the bias comes from - it just tends to land more on the side that was facing up regardless of which side
English
@SamRo wouldn't you expect coins that aren't perfectly symmetrical to have a slight bias?

Anyone using @Shortwave? I’m trying and like it so far but I made the mistake of asking it to bundle together some newsletters and now those newsletters are appearing in my inbox instead of being tucked away in newsletters

A book launch for a really fun read!

Never Gana Gueyeve you up
The Bobble@ElBobble
Character, grit and a never say die attitude shown by the Everton players at Selhurst Park to win 3-2. Even more fitting Idrissa Gana Gueye comes up with the winner after stating to the coaching staff this week, ‘I’m ready when you need me’ after losing his starting position 🔵

@opinonhaver The reverse is also helpful to know, like what is indeed unique to academia that you shouldn’t have to tolerate
English
Like I hear some of the things that get brought up as evidence of academia being uniquely toxic or whatever and sometimes I’m like “nah I think that’s just Having A Job”
English
You shouldn’t spend too much time touching grass between undergrad and grad school because this shit is kinda honestly a young person’s game in many ways, but the value of having at least one actual job in between is it will make you substantially less insane.
English
@Flexirobinson @watsoncomedian Agree, Zoom is a better experience for external callers, but Teams and the way it integrates Microsoft is superior for internal collaboration
English
@watsoncomedian Hangs his head ‘I actually like it, way better than zoom, and if your work use Microsoft everything links pretty well’ I am now going back behind my rock
English
Why are people still doing things on Microsoft Teams. Why. We deserve better than this as a species.

@opinonhaver Non-alcoholic cocktails / mocktails are now often really great

Non-alcoholic beer and frozen pizzas have both quietly and without much fanfare gotten way better the last couple of years.

@TheStalwart Saw this a lot when I was a diplomat. A lot of people think there’s always a “real story” behind everything happening in foreign policy
English
All the people who said SBF would never be charged etc. because of his political donations.
Probably one of the clearest examples of what is a very common phenomenon, where the savvy people who want "the real story" tend to be the biggest dupes who fall for the dumbest ideas.

@ArmandDoma That’s a national average right? Rents are expensive in London but salaries are higher as well
English
Given how expensive rents are in the UK, how do people survive on these salaries? These are West Virginia salaries with San Francisco housing prices
❤️🔥 hazel ❤️🔥@halcyon_hazel
just found out starting salary for my field in the uk is 35£k—>36$k???? in the US 70$k is considered a bad salary and 80$k the average. what’s going on over there

@d_feldman Much of America just doesn’t have the population density to make that feasible

@ArmandDoma @franklinleonard It’s all right, she will star in many movies and their SQLs
English
Yet another tragic loss for the data analytics field to the siren song of Hollywood. Too many of my colleagues have hung up the SQL query for the razzle dazzle of show business. Alas! 😢

Lily Gladstone had been considering a career change prior to ‘KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON.’ She was registering for a data analytics course, when a Gmail notification alerted her to a request for a meeting with Martin Scorsese. Gladstone is now receiving universal acclaim and Oscar buzz for her performance in the film. bit.ly/3pThIuO
