@npub1kmk…mtuy It probably speaks to the nexus of environmentally conscientious plant parent hipsters that I live in (but don't really fit into).

Today I want to clear off my second desk, disassemble it, move it into storage, and turn that corner of my bedroom into a cosy reading nook with an armchair. I got stuck with the cleaning and (re-)organising of the bedroom a number of months back so this is a Big Task and I am a little intimidated. But I am inspired by #AuDHD friends here who are tackling similarly gruesome tasks.

Okay, I might be bad at math, but someone explain to me how '30% off' $122 translates to an $18 discount? *frown*

One of the research centres in my field released a survey research recruitment advertisement targeting Chinese Australians and it was emblazoned with the words 'ni hao.'
I reposted it on FB with the words 'ni hao is essentially a racist slur' and they were stung and retracted it instantly.
It is FREQUENTLY used by people who know only those two words in Chinese, who say it mockingly and assume all Asian people are Chinese.
It also screams 'too cheap to pay for a translator.'

A UK High Court justice has ruled the Tories' climate action plan is not authorised by law because the relevant minister could not have been persuaded by the facts as they stand. Administrative decisions must be rational in order to be legal. This is a rather nice legal strategy that does not depend on citing the rights and requirements of international legal regimes, an increasingly dicey approach in Fortress UK. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/03/britain-climate-action-plan-unlawful-high-court

Yesterday was horrendous. I moved the fridge to clean behind it for our upcoming house inspection, and discovered a nest of German cockroaches.

HUH. 'Keen-Minshull and Jones are represented by Katherine Deves, a lawyer-turned Liberal candidate whose public comments on transgender issues split the party during the 2022 federal election campaign. Deves’ involvement in the cases, combined with the decision by a number of conservative, Liberal Party donors to cover Deeming’s legal costs, has morphed the defamation proceedings into an internal party culture war.'

@npub1qqm…mzjy First of all, this is a question of research methodology, which I certainly understand, not a stats problem. Second, I'm a competent reader and user of stats but I certainly don't do quant research (except for those times that I do). I can tell you this methodology is bog standard for sex research AND there is probably no other way research of this sensitivity could have been done.
