Almost 15% of the U.S. population is “somewhat likely” to experience a damaging earthquake, according to the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model. Do you live in these earthquake-prone areas? #earthquake #Malibu #datavisualization #bigdata https://t.co/HagthcBJ8X

@gggirl924 There are those who remember when it was on the radio, those that remember it for that Cleopatra 2525 show on UPN, and a few that know from my one English teacher using it in a lesson for some reason.

@slayvideos I remember having a couple of these when I was a very young child, no idea what they are called

@slothropsmap I didn't realize 5ft people could be carried in one hand by 5'5" people

I feel like how people interpret this kinda says if they are instinctively a frequentist or a Bayesian

Monkeypox is a viral disease transmitted from animals to humans, a member of the Poxviridae family. Mpox is now a global health emergency. Will it cause a lockdown like COVID? Experts say no #MPox #health #datavisualization #bigdata https://t.co/Wo644bPbiK

The research takeaway is that the state borders seem to be enforcing social boundaries, but I feel most people are more surprised that they don't line up perfectly. Anyone who lives in a particular area probably isn't too surprised by the deviations.

@Somerandopers0n Bit unfair to say it's a massive failure by comparing it to PS2, that would be like saying the 360 was a massive failure compared to the Wii even though it's in the top 10 best selling consoles. It is the second worse selling Nintendo system though.
