In engineering, it's called "Re-use."

"Don't just grab the doorknob, rub it."

It's possible to scientifically show that basketball does exist, and was man-made. There are other things that are not possible to do that with.
Sometimes apparently obvious numbers can be misleading.
Example: Some very small town has 5x the per-capita number of cancer illnesses than the country's average. Seems like you should look for a cause. But statistically, small towns will have a large variability vs. average because of the small population (a couple extra cases really affects the bottom line). So, compared to large cities, small towns will have more extremes--many more or fewer cases than average.
Another example: Hurricane number follows the sunspot cycle (which is 20 years I think?) So, having many more or fewer hurricanes the last couple years vs. a half-generation a go doesn't mean they were seeded by "Chem-Trails" from jets.

I can't be the only one who does taxes by:
-Following the directions, and
-Doing the math, which is addition, subtraction and multiplication, but no calculus, complex numbers or matrix algebra.

If you have anything like investment capital gains or rental income, you need to fill out additional forms so you have to realize that, but you don't need to take a class in "doing taxes." Plus, the rules change often (dividends used to be taxed as regular income, then got change to a preferred cap gains rate).
Really UNDERSTANDING your taxes lets you make decisions that can minimize them and improve your investing:
-Should I take a tax-deductible IRA or 401k now or pay the taxes to invest in a Roth that'll be tax-free later?
-Will I be better off taking a standard deduction or deducting state tax + property tax + chartable contributions? If the latter, what if I donate nothing this year and double next year?
Gosh, if only there were a resource available on your phone or computer for this.

At first read, I thought it was "Beav in driveway."

"In a way, all of us have an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo happens to be *the actual* El Guapo!”

That little mug and pot don't hold a lot, because there isn't "Mush Room."

When designing the Occupant Classification system for automotive passenger seats, we had to test *thousands* of people to correlate the weight plus weight distribution of children, car seats (empty and occupied), 5th percentile females (105 pounds, approximately the lower limit of where you want an air bag to deploy in a crash), average size adults...every size person that might be in a vehicle's passenger seat. We recruited all over the place--employees, their spouses, their kids, a modeling school, a cheerleader camp (to get those 5th % females)...

Now, imagine the effort to get enough data to develop and calibrate an algorithm that correlates butthole size/shape/characteristics to gender. Statistically, what sample size do you need for high confidence in the algorithm's determination?

Statistical nuance: Assumption--the input data is representative of user data.
Reality--the input data is representative of people willing to undergo an ass-scan.

All the parts for the various electronics items I designed at my American automotive components company were dimensioned in mm, and weights of items (solder, flux, coating) were purchased in grams.

Americans cheering for one college talking about those people who cheer for another college. Especially weird when they didn't even go to that college (Indiana basketball and Notre Dame football).

See, back when we played D&D before computers, a natural 20 with a vorpal sword...

There's a "Mil Spec" for almost everything, like for example, grades of steel. That doesn't mean the Mil-Spec steel is stronger or resists rust more or anything, just that it meets a certain minimum tensile strength, elongation, hardenability, etc. I'm guessing that the Mil-Spec for tank steel is different from steel used to make toolboxes.

Reagan sent arms to the Taliban so they could fight against incursion from the Soviets. But, geez, the stuff that was sent in the 1980s pales in comparison to all the first-rate tech and massive amount of arms (and armor, and vehicles...) that was left when the US hurriedly fled in 2021.

Someone might have missed the chance to make a wish. This has got to be rarer than seeing a shooting star.

You could make the same kind of comparison in a lot of places if you took one photo in January, and the other in June 105 years apart.
