Hm, there are some players who are somewhat of a PK specialist, yeah? Would the players who aren’t often offered the privilege of regularly getting to play the PK skew the result? I’m mostly interested in the consequences of penalty-prone players.

Hahaha, I tried a few different variations and couldn’t get something concise. I guess technically someone could be serving a penalty assessed to a goalie, but the goalie still wouldn’t be in the box.

Also not a stats/capitalist/math guy, but a couple years ago I came across this paper “Pulling the Goalie: Hockey and Investment Implications.”

The modeling is far beyond me, but when down one goal “The crossover point comes at 6:10 remaining. So, at 6:20 you should not pull the goalie, but at 6:10 you should.” And two goals they say pull with 13 minutes left.

Their explanation of their model helps somewhat, and I’m sure the math is all very interesting to someone who gets it.

I was searching the band VOLA when I came across the faucet brand that makes very expensive but very repairable, and that compelled me to finally ask. I’ve replaced a few faucets over the years that were at the end of their life, but the last one took to a plumbing supply to get what looked like an obvious replacement part and they said it’s some home depot brand that doesn’t make them.

Thanks for the info, I’ve never thought to buy old since over only ever replaced cheap and only faucets, but when it comes time to work on my kitchen I’ll check out the brands you mentioned.

I see now, thank you for teaching me the ways of lemmy

Yours shows for me, what did you do differently?

Reminds me of this business card I found in a coffee shop.

Edit: dang it. How do I add an image? I used ![](https://ibb.co/v4Rb6Gw) but it isn’t showing up for me

I’m 40 and have friends my age who rent because they don’t want to own even though they can afford to. I’m not sure what percentage of renters are like them.

The comment I was responding to said it would be nice if the people running the organizations would do it for free or survival wages. I agree the salaries in OP’s example are extreme, but what I see more often in my industry is burnt out people doing work for survival wages because they’re passionate, while everyone else makes a ton of money.

The founder of Little Caesars was a typical magnate developer who bought up much of downtown Detroit and let it rot until he received tax incentives to build, and kicked out many low income residents from apartments he let sit until they got city money. His family continues this tradition. The Rosa Parks thing is the only good thing I’ve ever heard of that man and his family do.

As someone who has worked at a non profit and works at a low profit company now, the idea that because it’s work we’re passionate about that we should do it for pennies is so toxic, and how teachers, nurses, childcare workers, etc are abused by society. We’re actively out here trying to fix the problems caused by capitalism and the top 10% who are fucking over the world, and we deserve to be fairly compensated, not do it for free because we’re so passionate. I’m not saying OP’s example is right either, but charity workers shouldn’t need to rely on charity to survive, or be so wealthy they didn’t need to get paid.

I’m wondering what bias there may be for people from a place versus moving to a place. Many have noted the culture of activity in Colorado, and that may be pulling non-obese people from other states to Colorado. Not that it would sway the numbers that much, but as an anecdote, everyone I know in Colorado moved there from a different state and fit, and moved there for activities.

Ah, obvious now, thank you. For some reason my his brain couldn’t get to actually turning off half the breakers in one go

My friend has some upcoming electrical work in his house, can you explain how to use binary search in this instance so I can tell him?

Those are some of the first below-grade expressways built in the country, so the shorter on ramps are from an era with fewer and slower cars, and there isn’t space to lengthen them. The law only changed to stop the insurance companies from using zip codes to determine rates, and reduced the maximum payout for healthcare related costs from a crash, with the aim of lowering costs, but of course the insurance companies worked around it.

Insurance is required in all of Michigan, with fines, license suspension, and jail all possible for not having it. With Michigan’s no-fault insurance we have some of the highest rates in the country in Detroit—especially relative to income—and almost no viable alternative to owning a car.

That said, as a native Detroiter I feel safer in Detroit driving around other Detroiters, the suburbanites and out of state folks are always in the way.

Sometimes I increment my cruise control down a mph at a time to see how much I can get them to slow down

Is this the start of “relevant Sesame Street” replacing “relevant XKCD”?

What was their explanation?

Anyone who lets their dog bark outside for 10+ continuous minutes (except in case of emergency) loses dog privileges for a year. One year added for every five minutes over 10.

ShotSpotter installs can be repurposed to locate homes of negligent owners who are annoying the entire neighborhood by letting their dogs bark unmitigated.
