True, the bar chart is probably the best, but both pie and bar outperform, by a wide margin, whatever NYT's chart is. With this many categories, I feel a pie chart will handle this info better than a bar chart.

NYT, wtf is this shite infographic? Just use pie charts, they're so much simpler to parse.

I wouldn't even say we stopping seeing them as people, but instead that we view them as generally terrible people based on how they drive. They're either an idiot or an asshole, as the saying goes. ('Anyone that drives faster than me is an asshole and anyone that drives slower than me is a moron' is the saying)

It really says something when just a basic sandbox environment for showcasing a procedural tool is as enjoyable as Tiny Glade. I would not be disappointed with having an entire Banished-type game with these building tools.

You should start a milk brand with that as the logo.

Very clearly a toad. Points deducted.

Edit: so apparently all toads are frogs, but not only that, this is a tomato frog and not a toad at all. My whole life is a lie and shit like this is why I have trust issues.

Oh they're real. They're just arbitrary most of the time.

I ain't got words for how crazy seeing that is. The world was just like 'move the background 6 feet to the right' and then it happened.

I've gotten Gatling barrage to work without crash by setting graphics preset to low. I'm running 8GB of VRAM, though, so mileage may vary if you have less.

It's actually a boulder, BTW.

There's an entire poem dedicated to a Crow saying 'nevermore', and there's an old cartoon trope of crows saying foreboding things prior to tragedies.

Our love and interest in talking birds has always been also accompanied by unease, especially at what they say.

This is a question regarding atomic and quantum physics, and any academic input would be appreciated. I am wanting some input on what level of trust I should put into this "Quicycle" group. It's a think tank comprised of supposed Doctors from CERN and research groups, and states their names. alot of their stuff raises red flags for me, though.

To preface, I was working on understanding how exactly, in 3d space, electron orbitals affect the magnetic field of their atoms. I'm wanting to better understand why atoms like Iron are more magnetic than others. I am not heavily plugged into the physics community, though - I'm mostly just learning out of personal curiosity.

I stumbled upon this group's periodic table of atomic orbitals, and it seems accurate on its face to a layman like myself. However, I start trying to research some of the terms and they're proposing things I've never heard of like pd-hybridization (where the p and d electron orbitals merge(?) to produce a hybrid orbital(?)).

I decided to look over their site with more rigor and I'm seeing things like Vivian Robinson: The Common Sense Universe (talking about 'common sense' when talking about quantum and "sub-quantum" mechanics seems really screwy) and M.A.R.T. (yet another theory of everything attempt) and I get a sinking feeling that nothing in this website is trustworthy for learning more in-depth physics.

Does any of this stuff look right to any Lemmy physicists?
