This is adjusted for inflation, so the PS5 Pro would be listed at its current price with no changes.

Oh, duh, of course! Thanks, I was being dense :-)

I wonder where the new PS5 Pro would be, seems hugely expensive.

Oh, I see what you mean - I read it as OP criticising those progressive moves, but yeah, they might have meant it your way, fair point.

Those all sound like good things to me.

OP said EU countries 😔, although the graph only says European.

lefties are much more likely to commit suicide than righties.

That’s interesting (and tragic, obviously).

The idea that it could be an environmental thing (pressure to conform in a right-handed world, the schools and church stuff you mentioned) is quite compelling.

On the other hand, the increased prevalence of genius, and alcoholism, suggests maybe something genetic (or whatever) - like left handedness might go along with certain inherent psychological traits, which might also tend more towards self harming behaviour.

I know nothing about any of this stuff beyond a general interest, so I’ve no doubt it’s a lot more complicated than that (and/or that this is just correlation rather than causation in one direction or another) but it’s interesting regardless.

Greenland and Russia making the blue solution look much more common than it really is (in terms of population).

Ah ok, thanks.

The scale on the y axis, that’s a logarithmic scale, is that right? The way it goes 0.1, 1,10

(I was good at maths but never kept it up after school, so not sure if this is the right terminology)

It’d be interesting to see the same data shown on a normal scale, because my initial reaction was to be slightly horrified that the day 1 figure didn’t seem to have fallen much at all, only to then notice the scale.

And Turkey.

Cool, no problem, stuck 6 reds down just now and will keep an eye on it and add more as and when :-)

I’ve nothing I especially want to add to this at the moment, but if anyone has a project they want sporadic help with, let me know :-)

The Telegraph was my guess too. I support voting reform, but it’s hilarious to see people/Tories whine about it now.

It’ll be interesting to see what the Lib Dems do now, since FPTP has absolutely catapulted them forward now. Hopefully they’ll still advocate for PR.

Fair points. And, of course, I’ve never been in a US hospital, so they may be like Xanadu in comparison :-)

UK hospitals have been excellent in my experience, though I’ve obviously only seen some of them.

Plus, although our system is very different from America in theory, our government has, for decades (especially under the Conservative Party), been undermining the NHS through cuts, market-based policy decisions and creeping attempts at privatisation.

If the NHS was supported the way it deserves to be, it would be even better than it already is.

Fair enough. As I said at the start, it was just the impression I had - evidently not the case :-)

I don’t think that’s true though - these are the IMDb ratings, which remain open, and didn’t exist when the episodes came out.

Indeed but I’m questioning the scores themselves in S1 and S2. Put it this way, I didn’t think that those seasons were considered almost as good as most the next 8, I would have expected them to be mostly in the 6.8-7.2 range.

Fair enough - I’m not as familiar with the earliest seasons, so it was more the impression I had than a definite opinion :-)

For anyone wondering the top rated episodes here, all at 9.2 are:

S5E2 Cape Feare
S6E6 Treehouse of Horror V
S6E25 Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part One
S8E2 You Only Move Twice

And just as I was finishing that, I noticed that one episode has a 9.3, d’oh!

S8E23 Homer’s Enemy
