This one creates more questions than answers...

I'm gonna guess that Chicago is carrying the rest of the state.

It's common knowledge Australia has more dangerous critters than anywhere, but in reality they don't kill the most Aussies.

Where the sex fiends live... Did I say fiends, I meant friends. :blush:

State's biggest lakes, and states without a river border

What about Rhode Island?

What about it?

Getting rid of those pesky scientists...

If you are like most American adults, you are probably having less sex than you used to.

This study breaks it down. In a nutshell, American adults had sex 60 times a year in 1989 and 53 times a year in 2014.

Check out your own demographic and gloat, or be bummed. My wish for you is that you can gloat. To yourself, of course.

Sex? Oh yeah, I remember that, fun as I recall. :o

I remember it fondly.

This was posted as a piss poor way to show data so I don't know how old it is or how they determined how many internet users there are in a country. If dad subscribes does his wife and 3 kids get counted too??

51 million users in the U.S., out of a population of 300+ million? My ass. That thing's got to be at least a decade old.

A quick Google gives me:
India 2016................462,124,989
China 2016...............721,434,547
Indonesia 2016..........53,236,719
USA 2016..................286,942,362
And they add to be counted it must be working, internet subscribed, equipment.

I walked a marathon today. Not an official one. It was actually a 25.6 mile hike, but I parked 0.4 miles from the start to make it a marathon when I got back in the car.

Son of glatt did it too.

I'm thinking it might have been a bad idea because I ache.

But here's a graph of my steps over the last month.

Good thing the boy will soon be big enough to carry home. :lol:

What Europeans(including Brits) think of each other.

Poland considers Germany the most and also the least trustworthy... France felt they were the most and the least arrogant... And this is why we need to have only 2 political parties. Vote splitting never helps anyone.

hmm...

Keep in mind this is an average of many studies, your mileage may vary.;)

Tourists, or as everyone knows, dangerous terrorists who must be stripped and groped.

The coolest thing I've seen in a long time. More than a chart, more than a graph, more than a woman

sounds like FAKE NEWS. Nice try, snowflake.

Cool, I've been getting that information from three different websites, but they have it all there. :thumb:

NY Times: "Do Millennial Men want Stay-at-Home Wives?"

Such an unexpected reversal. But when I told J about it, she said, oh that's when the latchkey parents really took hold. This is the generation raised by two-career households. And dang if the NYT article said,

You, my tripod friend, have a positive *flair* for understatement.

I would love an economy where that is an option, and still not be in poverty.

The economy is not for people. You need to get with the program.

That's right, I forgot. :smack:

This is a map of dubious origin so wear a condom in every state.

I think men's opinions are less about parental responsibility and more driven by the economy. When the economy is great, they want the wives to stay home. When their paycheck isn't enough, they want the women to work. Women's opinions, well, they're all over the place because women are notoriously fickle. ;)

I think someone here put that up not too long ago, Glatt, maybe.

Very time consuming site.:yesnod:

re: the NYT graph about millennial men:

https://scatter.wordpress.com/2017/0...irmation-bias/

TL;DR: the NYT graph uses a really small sample size, doesn't include 2016 data.

WOW good work gvidas.

Garbage statistics in the NY fuckin' Times...

I guess that's how Dewey beats Truman.

But the graph does indicate that in the labeling? Are they talking about why, rather than what, it shows?

Well, the graph you posted did say "Young people, old views". It did not say millenials, where gvidas substituted that label. Both graphs clearly indicate which age groups are being illustrated. the NYT did not say that millenials are ages 18-25.

As for "why", the author of the original NYT article does offer an opinion, supporting it with other studies. Her main thrust is that uncertain economic times have made it necessary, but much more difficult given the dearth of family friendly work and social policies. She suggests that it's unsurprising that the participants in the survey would *want* an environment where one partner would be the "breadwinner" and the other partner would be the "homemaker".
From the NYT article:
It might be the fucking New York Times, but they're a serious journalistic enterprise, even extending those standards to the Opinion pages, as evidenced by this:
Despite the fact that the new evidence reduces the size of the statistical evidence the author points to in her essay, she includes it nonetheless. I find this a reassuring hallmark of honesty and integrity. She, like the New York Times overall, wants to get the story right, and wants to keep getting the story right. This in contrast to "Believe me."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the fuck are you talking about, the graph I posted had nothing to do with millennials or the NYT. :headshake

CORRECTION:

My mistake. The graph Undertoad posted. All else remains the same.

Forget zombies, as the climate warms Dragons may reappear.

Seat belt use, I think the numbers are about 87% for women and 81% for men.

Apparently I've only ever lived in counties where almost everyone wears their seat belts. Perspective. I thought everyone, everywhere wore seat belts.

eta:
I'm currently in the least seat belt-wearing place I've ever lived, and I like it better here.

My father never has, ever. Just hates them for no reason he can explain. He used to tell us as kids that it was safe for him because he "had the steering wheel to hold onto."

My father doesn't like quinoa because he can't/won't pronounce it.

I've never told him that I have a childhood memory of my grandfather saying he doesn't like pizza because he can't pronounce it.

I wonder what "new" food I won't like...

I don't have a chart to show you, but picture two circle groups that line up almost perfectly with one another.

My wife was telling me a story yesterday about her day at work. She works as a school based substitute teacher, which means she floats around a lot during the day. When she has nothing to do, she offers to do chores.

Yesterday, she was sorting through the lost and found box. The items were piled high, just bursting out of the lost and found box. So she started by sorting items by those that were labeled with a name and those that were not.

Then she went to the school library, where she could look up the student name in the system and see what home room each kid had, and return the item.

The PCs in the library have been set up to make a loud alert sound whenever a student with a bunch of overdue books has their account accessed. That way, the librarian can ask about it before loaning out more books.

Can you guess where this is leading? Every single student who is the kind of student who leaves their hoodie in the mulch on the playground is the same kind of student who also has a lot of overdue library books. That machine was sounding loud alerts the entire time my wife was looking up the names on the lost and found items. And the librarian kept looking up with each chime.

I understand the reason for the system, but I'm not sure how I feel about the kids who presumably don't have their shit together (we might imagine, not good home environment?) being shamed in front of everyone?

Like, any situation in school which could make everyone in the room turn and look at you, I'm sensitive to that. That could easily be counter-productive. Like, it happens once and the kid never goes to a library again. Ends up with a lifelong phobia of reading.

Actually, my wife has told me previously that this particular librarian is a bitch.

Not her choice of words, but mine.

I would presume when Mrs glatt returns the lost item she doesn't announce to the class the kid also has overdue books.

did she find any books?

Turns out that the loud PC is in back so books on hold aren't shelved. The PC at the front desk is muted.

The largest employer is each state, which means 19 walmart states are subsidizing the employees of the state's largest employer. A dozen or so it's the state university, but I suspect it's not the school, but programs attached to the school, things like medical programs and research labs.

A reporter for a travel site took four one way first class flights from LA to NY and back twice.

Somewhat interesting, but I don't see that ever applying to me.

I'd like to see a chart that compares other stuff that applies to coach.

Seat size, percentage of overbooked flights, delays due to airline screw ups, lost luggage, price, add-on costs, snack quality, cleanliness of aircraft, surliness of crew.

Plushness of the carpet you'll dragged over...

Percentage of income spent on...

I see food, but no lodging?

An analysis of emails at work to determine how soon they should be responded to...

Olde map...

What's your country tops in?

Wait.

Fat kids in Africa?

I had serious doubts about this chart because of that one.

Then I saw that Columbia was tops in happiness.

Cocaine. Happiness. Coincidence? I think not.

They only need look to the east. Then everyone can say they are happier.
