Managed to find a proper dartboard in St-Malo: fredcook.co.uk/2026/09/19/L...

A wide angle photo of the view of St-Malo from the ferry on the way in. There are moody grey clouds to the right over St-Malo, with lighter blue patches and fluffy white clouds over the sea. A couple of small islands are visible, with a smooth grey sea bisected half in light and half in shade

First dartboard review I've posted on here for a while, there's a backlog I haven't blueskyed if you like them. Unusually this one isn't in Bristol, but from a scrambling trip in North Wales fredcook.co.uk/2026/06/27/P...

Update with a new data point. Now 95% of Beatles listeners are less than 0 minutes according to my rubbish assumption that the distribution is only exponential. I suspect there's a big rectangle for the first ~100 minutes before it switches to an exponential

I've tried to work out the distribution of total Beatles minutes listened based on two data points from my Spotify wrapped this year and last year. It's not a great model, as 70% of listeners listen to less than 0 minutes. Suggestions / more data points welcome
