Reply to comment by Apprehensive-Ad6212 in Archaeologists from Arkeologerna have unearthed an early 17th century sword from the time of the Kalmar War. A conflict between Denmark–Norway and Sweden that lasted from 1611 to 1613. by Apprehensive-Ad6212
Also worth clarifying that Kalmar was close to the Danish border at that time. It was nowhere near the Nothern passage that was the nominal object of the dispute.

Between that an MDPI, you have to start by examining the methods if you feel moved to read it at all.

Reply to comment by buzzzzz1 in [OC] Animated Bar Graph of Average GPA for Admitted Students in UC Colleges(1994-2021) by Deadwifi9000Ping
Students (or their parents) with a GPA over 4.0 may think that is evidence that they are better than perfect. But faculty who grew up when 4.0 was the max see that and think their GPA must be completely bogus. So it can backfire.

Reply to The Number of Hours You'd Have to Work at a Minimum Wage Job to Afford a Year of Tuition in Each State by SandyBeaches2016
The specific scenario modeled here should not play out very much. If your income is that low, the financial aid package will be more generous. The exception is for-profit schools that were established to fleece the poor out of all the money they have and all the money they are able to borrow on student loans.

Reply to Conservation of Spanish Armada invasion maps reveals red ink details were added hundreds of years later by ArtOak
Could the original red have faded, and this was a refresh? That possibility doesn't seem to be excluded by the data.
A crucial point is that these maps were not worth much money at the time the red ink was applied. It is not comparable to doing do in today's market in which the documents sell for a great deal.

You mean that one of the authors visited Harvard and put that address in their contact info also? That is not a good way to judge the credibility.

This pub is from MDPI, the world's leading purveyor of junk science.
The conclusion may be true, but this is not the review paper I would trust.

Reply to comment by tules in How many animals do you eat in your lifetime? by ImplementAny4362
One of the requirements for making a data presentation beautiful is that it clearly answers the question being asked. This graphic clearly fails to do so.
Since OP does not have the data to answer that question, it would be appropriate to change the question and headline to align with what can be done.
DrTonyTiger t1_j2zqyvd wrote
A major weakness of the analysis is limiting it to domesticated fowl and mammals. Commerical fish and shellfish provide meat as well. But the most individual animals eaten by people are insects and some other small invertebrates. Not knowingly, but those animals are heading down people's guts and need to be included in the answer to the OPs headline question.

A great example of the danger of extrapolating beyond your data. All the fit lines need to stop a the highest X value or less. That would remove the rearkmable line for Africa, which shoots up beyond Egypt into fictional wealthy polluted countries.

The predictions seem to lag actual by half a year to a year. Good to know.
When the news reports say "analysts predict", I know how to value that information.
