Mythic Quest. Created by Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day (Mac and Charlie from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia), stars Rob McElhenney and Danny Pudi (Abed from Community). It's been on my back burner for a while because the description didn't sound that great. Now I'm wishing I hadn't slept on it for so long.

If you've been considering it, just watch the first episode. You will be instantly hooked.

I can't find references, at all, to XTX being a manufacturer, but I do see it as a trim line on the RX7900.

Depending on where you found this, my guess is that it's mislabeled. That would also explain why you can't find any info about it.

I'm surprised trans is over 1% of the general population. Last time I saw figures on that, it was about 2 orders of magnitude smaller.

It's true for all brands, but especially true for Lenovo - the enterprise machines are nothing like the consumer-grade crap.

A lot of people will incorrectly shorten it, and even pass it on with the error. But the advice isn't to get a Lenovo; it's to get a Thinkpad. Do not get an IdeaPad, or whatever other names they use for the cheap crap. Get a Thinkpad.

It's a similar story with HP's Omen vs Elitebook and Dell's Inspiron/Vostro vs Latitude. The enterprise line is very different in every way.

This report draws no distinction between them, as evidenced in the one section that lists models.

As for repairability, I've always found it easy to find the HMM for Thinkpads. My experience is limited, but they've also been relatively easy to disassemble and reassemble.

Ahh, sweet pity. Where would my love life have been without it?

Thank you- this is exactly the sort of critique I had been expecting/hoping to find

I agree with you, and would go further.

A while back, there was a study (IIRC) from the UK that recommended against gender transitioning for children. No surprise, it created quite an uproar before it was retracted.

At no point in any of the media coverage or comments on Lemmy, etc, did I see any discussion of the study itself. To this day, I have no idea if there was an issue with the methodology. It seems that no one, neither supporters nor opponents, bothered to read past the headline. Many of them were very fervent in their beliefs, but that wasn't enough to get them to look at the details.

This is also very bad for science - there are countless headline-grabbing "studies" that fail basic requirements. I'm sure you've seen things like "Is coffee/chocolate/etc good for you? A new 10-day study of 23 people suggests that...". Which of course should get picked apart.

If we aren't following the science, then what are we even trying to do?

(As an aside, I suspect that study was flawed, but I can't confirm. It goes against the conclusions widely agreed upon, and would require significant rigor and evidence to support the claim)

This is exactly why, for many years, there was no percentage on the label. They were concerned that people would try to get it to 100%.

Fast forward a few decades, and it's extremely rare to find Americans consuming that little sugar, so the concern was no longer valid.

While I appreciate that rule in many communities, there's nothing stopping them from posting a summary or even editorial in the body.

Something I found very eye-opening was the Wikipedia editing guidelines/style guide. Specifically, they had (have?) section on weasel words.

Once you see these types of manipulations laid out, you start to see them everywhere.

Yep, these are some of the extra variables. If the buyer would not have otherwise bought a Tesla, it changes things entirely. Same for the (slight) increase in supply of used Teslas lowering the price, making them more attractive to buyers.

But I'm going to hazard a guess that anyone buying a used Tesla today was already going to buy one, limited only by their finances.
