The only thing you can know for sure is that you exist.
Or maybe not, depending on your definitions of “you” and “exist” :)

But obviously pronounced wrong.

You may be interested to know that these kinds of paper adhesives are usually intentionally designed so that the substrate (paper) tears before the adhesive does. This is meant to ensure robust packing and to give proof that the package has not been tampered with. Couple this with ever thinner and shittier substrates, and, well…
Ah, so I’ll never be found out, then.

2·9 months agoThe color schemes are terrible, especially for the top two maps. The upper and lower ends of the range (dark red and dark green) are just about the worst possible choice for colorblind folks (1 person in 20!). Even ignoring that, the lightest colors are midpoints in a sequential dataset, giving the false impression of a center point from which the data diverge. This doesn’t make sense for total population, the range for which is open only at one end (minimum of zero). You could make the argument about diverging from some measure of center, but that is not indicated anywhere. A diverging color scheme would be appropriate for the third map (change in population diverges up or down from 0, or could diverge around the global change), but there again the lightest color is arbitrarily located halfway up the range.
Here are some good examples for sequential and diverging color schemes: https://personal.sron.nl/~pault/#fig:scheme_sunset
Committee members be like “Oh, I definitely read your thesis titled “New Palladium-Catalyzed Reactions for the Manufacture of Pharmaceuticals”. So what is the band gap of thallium antimonide doped with 5% polonium in foot-pounds per mol? Why aren’t you answering? Even my undergrads know this!”
