Weird that Japan is nowhere to be found. At least here in Tokyo tons of cars and buses are electric. I guess they make them only for themselves so they don’t go in or out?

I think that both ends of the spectrum are occuring, that is, people rating it less than it is because the characters are gay, and people rating it higher than it needs to be, because the characters are gay. Was definitely a good episode, but the characters being gay are hindering everyones bias.

Well she's gone for 5 days so i might just watch it all lol.

It really differs per episode. They are not all gruesome but just all very different. And standalone episodes indeed so you can just choose one you think is interesting.

I’m not into the naughtydogverse anymore after the cuckmann debacle where he shat on the fans by lumping the homophobic trolls with people who generally disliked how the second games story was handled, but shitting on it just for sexual orientation well his loss, tlou1 is still in my best of it’s time category, and it had a very emotional and human story at its core, at this point in time stories like knock at the cabin which i liked and the whale which i loved having the characters being shown as human first is an amazing move forward, imo lesbian porn should have been banned for straight people, if u can’t like gay guys, maybe u shouldn’t watch gay chicks either heh

Is the point of this graph to suggest that after 2011/12 there were more terrorist attacks than the yearly mean of the sample? If so I feel like just comparing average yearly attacks in the two groups (before/after 2011) may be more digestible than using z scores.

A z-score demonstrates a value with respect to an average (assuming the data is normally distributed) so a z-score of 0 means that a given data point is perfectly average compared to the whole sample while a z-score of 2 indicates that a given value is well-above average. Similarly, a negative z-score implies a value is below average. A really good description of z-scores is posted at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16vAjsnazEM.

This graph was meant to show how each year's frequency of terrorist attacks faired compared to the average number of attacks (which for 2000-2020 was 6,660). If my graph was more clear it would have demonstrated that the year 2004 had the lowest frequency and was the furthest away from the mean. While the years 2011 and 2012 were closest to the mean on the low and high end respectively. Year 2014 shows how the total number of attacks that year was furthest away from the mean (16,960 Events). Hopefully, this clears up what my intent was even though I missed the mark.

Ive been meaing to watch black mirror. My gf and i were going to start it and i vaguely remember something about fucking pigs or something that caused her to want to stop.

Because those for whom the system works well (ie people with good jobs that provide excellent insurance) are afraid of a decline in their care and the groups which have an interest in the current system (insurance companies, doctors, pharmaceutical companies) influence congress to not change the system and promote fear about a replacement.

You should check out Black Mirror’s episode “San Junipero”, it has similar vibes.

And no you don’t need to watch any other episodes, they are all standalones

I would guess that some people were rubbed the wrong way by them being openly gay.

I think it's up there with the best epidodes in tv history.

Tesla made EVs trendy. Now it's time for real car makers to take over.

Data Source: TV Series Finale

Tool: Tableau

HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us continues to demonstrate that viewer interest tends to grow as a series reaches its season finale. Among HBO's current top 10 rated series, live and same day viewership is significantly higher for the finale compared to the season premiere for seven of the ten series. Although Euphoria's season 2 premiere had a modest national viewer total of 250,000, viewership more than doubled for the season finale. Winning Time and The White Lotus are also series that saw significant increases in viewership for the finale. Interestingly, True Detective season 2 and House of the Dragon had the highest viewership totals for the premiere episode; however, there was a decline in the final season episode.

I’m still pretty stumped by the graph. What does the z-value tell us about the data?

IMDB doesn't really like flashback stand-alone episodes, huh?

I believe because it didn't really advance the plot very much. Most people will have been hooked after the first two episodes to wait an entire week and... nothing really happens.

Don't get me wrong, I think the episode was great, but I also waited until all episodes were out to watch them all at once so it didn't bother me much and I could just enjoy it knowing that there is more but I can see that some people are unhappy with an episode like that who will have to wait another week to see the story advance.

Good comments. I would recommend adding some faint horizontal lines as visual aid to better reference episodes far away from the y axis to the score, too

Each x_i is described as one individual event as recorded in the Global Terrorism Dataset. (Accessible at: https://www.start.umd.edu/gtd)

You’re not missing much. 🤢

If she never put out any music, I would agree. 😅

Some guy at the bar I tend for episodes 1 & 2 was going on and on and on about how great the show was. I loved it, especially seeing that it's one of the few video game to tv/movie conversions that's been done really well.

I came in the week episode 3 aired and he refused to talk about it. Refused to even continue watching the show. He was just so angry about it. He is going to deny himself an entire story, one of the best ever told in the modern day, because a couple of minor characters are gay.

I didn't have the heart to tell him about Ellie.

Thanks for the feedback! I needed to step back and look at the graphic as though I haven't seen the data 100 times before. Graphic has been recreated with simplifications.

Kind of surprised that given Tesla is such a big name in EV, the US export is so much smaller than Germany.

And the box plot or violin plot are difficult to read with just one datapoint

I appreciate the feedback! I've redesigned it and reported values as pure frequency rather than z-scores. Thanks!
