Like the OP I also grew up in the DC area and we did sometimes take the metro into DC for some field trips, but most places just aren't accessible enough via train for a large gaggle of kids and their chaperones compared to a bus.

Assuming the phrasing matches whatever the polling was, that's crazy that 32% (what a familiar percentage) of people don't think private companies have speech rights, or think that any speech on the topic isn't protected by the 1st amendment. Crazy but not surprising.

It's not apples to oranges but our natural vision has a longer effective/equivalent focal length compared to the typical phone's primary camera, which is generally a wide angle. Using the telephoto lens on an iphone will get you a lot closer to the look of the mid-telephoto lenses popular for portraits (which typically are longer than our natural vision and have their own look)

I have a terribly cheap tamper but it's just a tool and I wouldn't sneer at someone for buying a nicer version of a tool they use. Some tampers have calibrated depths/pressures they tamp to in order to improve consistency but ultimately a good fit and a flat surface is what matters. The goal is to restrict the flow of water evenly through the puck to reach a target level of extraction and bad tamping can lead to channeling and under-extraction.

that's what it's best for but a good mask still helps both ways

maybe good to specify this with respect to the "grok [..] has admitted" anthropomorphized part since yeah grok doesn't "know" and didn't acknowledge it automatically but was prompted by a reply

the side west of transverse (thankfully repaved) is longer than the side east :P but it is so much more pleasant being in the park anyways

a few years ago this road used to be completely packed with parked cars and crawling traffic looking for yet more parking

Looking online it seemed as though conscription and taxation were the primary reasons in this case

I think you'll find more representation the closer you get to local level politics, which is also where you'll find the majority of politicians anyways. I haven't looked through the data but I assume most of these politician offenders are local/state and not federal for similar reasons to why libertarians are "underrepresented" in this chart

We agree; it shows the percentage party affiliation out of the _total_ set of politician offenders. It does not show the percentage of offenders out of the specific set of party politicians however, which is what the op was commenting about.

I wasn't trying to say that it wasn't helpful, just that this aggregation wouldn't address what the op posted about the perceived low representation. If one did normalize by total # of politicians affiliated with a given party a pie chart would be a poor way to present that anyways.

the data source used for this is manually curated from news sources/court documents etc and they don't add annotations if it isn't clear from the source. the website goes into much more detail

the datasource linked in the post includes way more but this post screengrabbed one specific chart

1 year ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

it doesn't normalize for how many politicians of a given party affiliation there are; the graph can be interpreted like "% likelihood of X party affiliation given that someone is both an offender and a politician" rather than "% of politicians in party X who are offenders"

you'd hope but nope instead the crashed rider came 2nd, the other rider attacked and came 1st, and the driver (and some news sources) suggested it was because the front rider deviated and not the driver's fault when clearly in the clip the car ends up much further left when the collision happens compared to the start

1 year ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

such bullshit the driver/news suggested she deviated - from the clip if anything it is the car that moves significantly with respect to the road lines. the driver should've been penalized and imo it was disgusting for the other rider to subsequently attack even if it's a race
