I think, by now, what offends me the most is how unoriginal “Lake America” is as a name.


About the same level of creativity as "Freedom Fries"


I treat the lakes the same as roads. A road's name doesn't tell you where you are. It tells you where you are going. If the road leading out of your town happens to share a name with a neighboring town, it isn't named as an honor. If you are bothered by the name, just walk to the end of the road and its name will have changed to where you just came from.

If you are in America and want to cross water to get to Mexico, you just need to use the Gulf of Mexico. If you want to get to Ontario, find Lake Ontario. You'll never be lost.


You have no idea how hard it was to talk him out of "Lake Trump". Just be glad it's not that.


If you search the App Store and don’t find it, it’s called Firefox Klar in some markets


Firefox Focus is called Klar (“clear” in German) in Germany because the Focus trademark is owned by a German news magazine.


Reminds me of Nobel and Ignobel prize winner Andrei Geim, who authorer a paper with his hamster, H.A.M.S. ter Tisha. As I remember, he added Mr/Ms Tisha to be able to write “we” instead of “I”.

I thought in papers the majestic we was just a given even for solo writers I guess depends on the OCD of one if thats acceptable

Yeah, that's a recent change. Probably the first nail in the coffin for it.




The actual visualization seems to be https://soccer.rogerdickey.com/ which is available, and also not on Wayback.

You should really add track/follow camera, so I could click on a player or the ball, and get a orbit camera following it/them :) You could use interpolation for the parts without frames perhaps. Would be great to have free cam too! Looks pretty cool


thanks for the suggestion, i'll try adding this

IIRC There is also a discontinuity when it comes to the histogram of ages of marathon runners, because runners are binned into age groups and there is a more runners at the youngest ages of each group, I guess because it’s younger runners in each group that are more likely to run if they feel more likely to place well in their group


I think there's also the opposite – there are a number of places in large marathons allocated for "good for age" entrants, which I would guess are more likely to be taken up by people at the younger end of those buckets.


At least your reply wasn’t written by AI
