Biostat friends - you have a cubic spline model showing changes in A1C over time and you have a plot of median values over time as well. Both are adjusted. Why would the predicted change in cubic spline look 5 times different than that of the median plot?

I’m behind on EVERYTHING but downloading the update for the new season of Division 2 is checked off the list! If you play on PSN and aren’t a jerk, looking to check out some bigger endgame content like retaliations, level 4 control points, escalations, and countdown (my squad is just 3).

Second ask of the day - does anyone here hire and train non-college educated but extremely bright and focused people that want to be an astrophysicist? Hit me up. Have someone that I KNOW will be amazing in the right placement.

Do I know any architecture profs, librarians, or others that have an unwanted but in good shape copy of African American architects : a biographical dictionary, 1865-1945 by Dreck Spurlock Wilson? Hardcover preferred but paperback welcome. Looking for a copy for my brother that is named for him.

ABSTRACT

Spreadsheets are widely used software tools for data entry, storage, analysis, and visualization. Focusing on the data entry and storage aspects, this article offers practical recommendations for organizing spreadsheet data to reduce errors and ease later analyses. The basic principles are: be consistent, write dates like YYYY-MM-DD, do not leave any cells empty, put just one thing in a cell, organize the data as a single rectangle (with subjects as rows and variables as columns, and with a single header row), create a data dictionary, do not include calculations in the raw data files, do not use font color or highlighting as data, choose good names for things, make backups, use data validation to avoid data entry errors, and save the data in plain text files.

Much of this is the result not just of the fascists, but also otherwise “liberal” people who felt offended by any systemic critiques these academics have of the liberal system from which these “liberal” people benefit. Fascists are ultimately to blame for fascism but are aided by many along the way

And disproportionately affects Black people with uteruses — I’ve seen reporting that 50-80% have the condition. This from the Mayo Clinic says 90% by age 50, it’s outrageous mcpress.mayoclinic.org/women-health...
Compared with people in other racial groups, people of African descent are more likely to develop uterine fibroids. By age 50, up 
to 90% of Black people with a uterus have fibroids, which means that among every 10 people you know in this group, nine of them may have fibroids!

Furthermore, Black people develop fibroids at younger ages and have larger, faster growing fibroids.
Not surprisingly, because they have more-severe fibroids, Black people have worse symptoms compared with those of white people — severe pain, anemia due to heavy periods, and symptoms that interfere with relationships, physical activity and the ability to go to work.

In 2026: If you can get vaccinated, you will. For the sake of the babies who can't be vaccinated yet. For the sake of the children and adults who are immune compromised. For the sake of the people who can't be vaccinated. You will heroically save lives.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution: If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow. If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious. By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

the ridiculously large apple pancake from the original pancake house. it fills a dinner plate and is 2.5 inches tall. the base is a pie crust, an egg filling, and apples on top with cinnamon sugar. this is a danger to your cholesterol and blood sugar

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
