In a lot of languages the word for apple used to refer to all kinds of fruits, particularly new ones from more or less exotic lands. Pineapples also don’t look much like apples, do they?

Gotta stay in practice.

The straw man commie in OP’s butt.

Boah, leiwand. Krosse-Krabbe-Pizza?

There are several steps between learning German and comprehending whatever the fuck we’re doing over there.

Hi. Was essen wir heute am Abend?

Ever heard of zooplankton?

Wait, why does one of the animals look like the cameraman?

Easy. The ones with vowels are C library functions.

It still has cogwheels.

“Average” can be an arithmetic mean, a median, a geometric mean, or even a mode.

That’s the point. To make the low-population area more intense. Because relative to the population density, there were 100 times as many sightings. Or what am I missing.

There are a number of normalization algorithms. Easiest would be to just divide by the area’s population count. That gives you the relative number of bigfoot sightings or fursuits per capita, removing any skews introduced by varyin population size.

Say you have two areas:

Area 1: 100000 people, 1000 fursuits, 500 bigfoot sightings Area 2: 1000 people, 10 fursuits, 5 bigfoot sightings

Without knowing the population size, it looks like more fursuits means more bigfoot sightings. But if we divide by the population size, we get 0.01 fursuits and 0.005 bigfoot sightings per person in both areas.

Hope that helps. ^^

Now normalize it for population density.

1. I did disable the scanning.
2. Looked it up. Seems like it’s actually pretty low when not connected.

I never really thought about it because I use Bluetooth about once month at best. Still, leaving it on when I don’t need it seems silly. But maybe it only does when you don’t need it again a few minutes later.

Because it drains your battery like you poked a hole in it?

Wait, do you just keep your Bluetooth on when you don’t need it? Is that… are people doing that?

I’ll shed a tear either way.

I don’t think money should be an incentive at all, in the long run.

Both egoism and altruism are human nature. We are capable of both (for the most part). Currently, we have a socioeconomic system that rewards and encourages primarily the former. Why not try it the other way and see where that brings us?
