Technically we are still getting security updates for another year provided you jump through some onedrive backup loophole.

I will re-examine how lazy I am vs the difficulty of Linux in 11 months time.

Me either really, but I like her twitch stream.

I know her as a twitch streamer and co-founder of Geek & Sundry (who streamed Critical Role before it got big)

Isnt that the upside of crowdfunding? If they meet their goal, it goes ahead, if they dont, everyone keeps their money.

Im not rich, but I can spare a few dollars to support creators I enjoy

Im a big enough fan of Felicia to sign up, even though I never watched The Guild back in the day

Most simple regression models assume that the X variable is fixed by the experimenter and has no error associated with it, only the Y variable has random error, so all residual errors are vertical deviation from the trend line. As a result, the line is tilted to be ‘flatter’ than the main axis of the data.

In reality, the X variable often has just as much error/uncertainty as the Y variable, and the residuals should be perpendicular to the trend line.

One regression that allows for that is Major Axis Regression.

Another is to just take the main axis from PCA.

What you are paying for is a standardised experience.

There is a reason people visit Rome or Vietnam and still go to McDonalds: predictable, reliable experience.

Bill Bryson - The Lost Continent

It’s funny and a great read as Bryson always is, but I noticed for the first time that my values have changed since I first read it.

He pretty regularly comments on how overweight people are, and doesn’t mind describing exactly what he finds unattractive in older or overweight women.

I guess I just got fat friends and find that distasteful now.

… because they are slightly less greedy than the main Woolworths/Coles duopoly.

Aldi are doing god’s work, I only wish they could establish in New Zealand, but apparently our Foodstuffs/Woolworths duopoly is even harder to crack into.

At Home: A short history of home life by Bill Bryson. A history of houses, and just history relating to houses.

Most back cover reviews exaggerate, but it really has made me laugh out loud, at least most chapters.

Even better, it gives me a constant stream of interesting facts to throw at my partner. Did you know they had locks on doors and underfloor heating back in the neolithic?

It broke again. Test posting here to see if it helps

Ok, possibly logging in to normal Lemmy.world, then reloggin into old.lemmy.world somehow fixed it.

Wow, its fixed… already?

Lucky this service is free, otherwise it’d be out of my price range!

I think we are supposed to think about Gatsby the same way the narrator, Nick, thinks about Gatsby.

A great man, a true romantic, but not one suited to this corrupt, fallible world. His relationship to Daisy was a bit more complex than just stalking, she did love him, she just wasn’t capable of leaving Tom.

“No— Gatsby turned out all right at the end. It is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men”

I know you’re right about this
