Hypothesis testing is not of the form “what causes this?” What you’re suggesting seems to be along those lines.

Instead it’s more “can we say with high confidence that this specific factor causes this?”

That doesn’t mean you can’t test other factors! You can test them all with enough time and resources.

There are multi-factor statistical tools like ANOVA. But they still depend on you identifying what the factors might be.

But if you have factors A, B, C, and D in your analysis, and it’s actually the totally unknown factor E… you might find a lot of unexplained variance in your statistics, or you might mislead yourself into thinking it’s ABCD and never discover what E actually was.

But at the end of the day that’s just a fancier form of “does this specific thing cause this effect.”

And the essence of science is discovering Factor E and testing it, with new hypotheses.

Boil water advisories are often immediate - like a check valve has failed unexpectedly and there is, this very instant, a risk if sewage in your tap water.

Hard to mobilize a city-wide door-to-door campaign with such urgency.

As a secondary option, sure. But it’s not always like a planned-for-months water main replacement.

The four channels OP listed do seem inadequate though.

I read the whole diatribe at least three times before responding.

The grammar pedantry is just silly, it’s fucking song lyrics, have you listened to music before? Read a poem? Liberties are taken, and that’s that.

the reason the line is repeated so often is because it is unique and atypical (deriving from its “poor grammar”), and therefore recognizable

Try it out - “some cops are kkk members.” Not as catchy or iconic, sorry.

Who the fuck “works forces”?

I assume he’s not talking about mesothelioma then.

Because if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

If you have mesothelioma you may be entitled to financial compensation

Fair enough. Human ignorance? I guess what I was getting at is that there isn’t ever a “good reason” (which is the term used in the comment i was replying to) to exhaust a generator to any indoor space.

Human stupidity

Blatantly flaunting his wealth

Idk dude that sounds a little like capitalism or at least economics

I use my 14-year-old prescription to get a couple pairs of glasses from Zenni every couple years. Averages about $75/yr.

Wow I was thinking about that just the other day (I remember it as “BME pain olympics”). I wonder if it’s still floating around out there? But TBH I don’t want to know.

Ah the ol Lemmy-roo

It’s to get past the softwar* censors

Perfect accompaniment to all this cheese I recently acquired

Here is my favorite explainer on the topic

I’m just trying to understand why people are into it. But while I’m researching it…

I heard Elon was born on the moon, but that could be fake too. I wish there was a way to know for sure, or at least see a small amount of evidence one way or the other.

Did they?
