For anybody who glanced too quickly at that graph and started to have bad emotions, Jones won and the chart is bad at indicating that fact.

Based on the map, that's the population of Georgia (the country), not Georgia (the US state).

Yes, we have the points for one emotion, the lines for combinations of two, and the triangles for combinations of three, but what about hornangaduritude? We need to break out the tetrahedra, get a simplicial complex going, who's with me

All that's really needed is a Venn diagram.

The air pressure indoors is basically the same as the air pressure outdoors. But there's a difference in how much aerobic exercise, like running, is involved in playing the sport, and thus how much breathing is involved, and thus how much it's impacted by being acclimated to lower air pressure.

The medieval thing to do was to declare yourself above mere representational map-making, and to claim that your work had deeper abstract and symbolic meaning:



See how Jerusalem is at the center of it all [leaning back medievalishly] my work here is done time to draw some more silly rabbits doing human things

East is up on this map, right?

If you assume that you'll want a computer to do math to it at some point, the worst way is natural language.

Uhh, the numbers are like 61K off for the evening commute. Does that mean that that many people stay later, or in a normal day does the Philadelphia central business district consume some 61,000 unlucky souls?

It says 7 AM to 7 PM, so it doesn't count people departing after.

It would save lives to stop loving with the clocks twice a year.

In regard to which configuration should be the permanent one, however, time is arbitrary. If the problem is that the sun sets before work ends, then either as a society we are capable of enough self-determination to schedule work on the basis of the sun instead of the clock, in which case we should do that, or we are not, in which case we are already slaves to the machine and we might as well debate what time zone should be used in the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
