Reply to comment by TonyzTone in A shaded relief map of South Asia rendered from 3d data and satellite imagery [OC] by visualgeomatics
IIRC, the Himalays are both the Asian and Indian plates crumbling. There're three types of plates touching: convergent, divergent, and transform (towards each other, apart from each other and alongside each other). There's two types of plates: continental and oceanic, of which the latter is much lighter .
The Indian plate and Asian plate are convergent and both continental. That means they generally just smash into each other, i.o.w. both crumbling. If one of them was oceanic, say Asia and the Pacific, the oceanic one would sink under the continental one, creating a valley or (Mariana) trench.

Reply to Protest movements as deadly as Iran’s often end in revolution or civil war by statisticalanalysis_
What I read in Dutch news papers is that research has shown that mass movements likely result in revolution. However, with social media, it is easier to create a large following. Sadly, this following is also more fleeing, especially since these uprisings lack a leader or other organisational attributes.

Reply to comment by IONIXU22 in [OC] How to spot misleading charts? I would like to hear your opinion on the subject, also any tips design-wise? by dark_o3
There are instances where starting the Y-axis not at zero is okay. I'm bad at examples, but zero is used as a baseline. Which means that it would be better to start the Y-axis at another value, it being similar to the baseline.
An example might be the concentration of something, like CO2 molecules in the atmosphere. It is impossible and irrelevant to get to 0. Besides, it's not about the absolute values but the relative values.
But in general, yeah, it is misleading.

Reply to comment by shortdaYOLO in [OC] European Gas Storage in %fill vs. %Storage of Average Annual Consumption by shortdaYOLO
Can the average annual consumption be split between winter and summer months?
Or otherwise, maybe the storage levels compared to half a year of the average annual consumption, since stocks are refilled during summer?

Reply to comment by mrscript_lt in Age distribution of passenger cars in Europe [OC] by mrscript_lt
Very cool. Coincidentally, I had to use the same data recently to prove a news article falsely claimed my country had one of the oldest passenger car distributions...
But I did notice you left out some countries. Because their data was different than the standard?
