Reply to comment by half_integer in [OC] Bank Failures by US State since 2000 by pm_me_jupiter_photos
I think it's a different fallacy but not one I know the name of.
In essence it's a count problem. Georgia had a bunch of smaller banks and this is only counting the bank entity, not the size of the bank itself.
If you changed the chart to show magnitude based on total $s of banks that busted by state, you might see a different result

And now you are merrily feasting on the bones of your enemies, as your aunt taught you.

Yes, but I will have the advantage because I'll specify we're going by boxing rules, that will force it to curtail most of its advantages and I'll have the judges on my side.

I mean an eagle has one good shot and then its in arms range, and after that it looses. Maybe it gets in a good hit raking someone's face or arms with its talons, but as soon as it gets in close, that's game over. Just a massive weight differential working against it.

Who are the 10 - 20% that think they can beat a gorilla.
No one who has seen a gorilla is going to believe that they can beat a gorilla in unarmed combat.

Reply to comment by Soldarumi in [OC] 'Big 4' accounting firms are PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, and EY - breaking down how they make money by giteam
Not Deloitte, but used to work for a big company that was as zealous about their logo / stylebook.
I once had the audacity to make a totally internal-only powerpoint where I had a little stick figure guy with the company's logo for a head, just a fun little anthropormophization to make dry material a little more interesting.
One of the marketing execs was in the room. i swear you would have thought I sacrificed a puppy during that meeting, for how outraged and even revolted they were by that.

Surprisingly untrue actually.
There is evidence of corruption in many social and eusocial species, many of which predate us in the evolutionary scale.
Ants and bees can exhibit corruption. Bees are supposed to mate only with a queen, but in species with other females, mating will occur outside royal lineage, creating shadow competition in the hive

I mean, I sort of have to. Running at them seems a poor choice no matter what is behind them.

Only asking because another individual I know is in a similar bot - have they checked vitamim D levels? Very low vitamin D levels can cause poor calcium absorption and bone densities.

It is interesting your two worst months are directly opposite from one another - June and December - and that your best two months follow the worst.

Reply to Ahhhh… Tonka, the prime example of buy it for life toys. Found for $12 total at the Goodwill, bound to bring me years more enjoyment. by marktherobot-youtube
They also make hands down the most durable dog chew toys I've ever found.
My dog, who destroys quite literally everything, treasures a thick Tonka tire chew toy she's had for years. It's pretty fucked up at this point, but given every other toy has an average lifespan of a week or less, it's endurance is extraordinary
