The second sentence explains it perfectly fine to a layperson, and anyone used to interpreting plots has no real problem even without the supplied explanation. The only points of confusion for someone unfamiliar with the different models are the are the labels.
This is mainly because institutions and systems that used to teach people how to do wisdom are lost. Modern age has information and tools to process it, but not the methods and practices to deal with bias and self-delusion,
Perhaps those railing against high schools, colleges, and even post-graduate education, need to go back and deal with their *own* biases and self-delusions. The institutions and systems are there.
[...] Which seems to infer that the majority would be capable of achieving high marks in college as well.

We helped our uncle, Jack, off a horse.
Out of curiosity, I opened the web version (https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/, in Firefox 144.0, on Mint 22.2, using Cinnamon 6.4.8 on a Beelink mini-desktop). To make the usual "test call", I can't go to three-dots (...)--> Settings --> Calls --> Devices (there is no "Devices" under THAT version of "Calls"). However, I CAN go to the "Calls" menu on the far left of the window --> Custom Setup (gear menu) --> Device Settings, and then do a Test Call.
From there, all works fine, including sound and video. Of course, all my Sound Input/Output devices work OK in the OS itself....
I used Firefox (not sure of what the version was) to successfully hold Teams meetings on the web on Mint (likely ~20 or 21), and Vivaldi on a different Mint system. I'm sorry I can't remember more. It was 6 months ago or so.
I'm right now trying out Zorin OS, this could be an alternative for some since it has a look similar to Windows.
But is there a version of Teams for Linux?
I have a couple of people I *can* "upgrade" to W11 from W10, but I think they're ideal candidates to move to Zorin or Mint.
MS used to supply a desktop client of Teams for LInux, but hasn't for a year or more at this point. However, the web interface works well enough. And if you don't mind snaps on your system, you can try wrapping the web interface in a sort of desktop app: https://snapcraft.io/teams-for...
Hoping that the Democrats learn to read the room, and abandon some of the far left ideas they've incorporated, and produce electable candidates. Hoping the Democrats become a party of ideas, not a party of "When we want your opinion, we'll tell you what it is."

None of this is living in my head rent free - only takes a little time to suss out the issues. I write, maybe troll a little, then go about my day.
Cute, even with the unironic discussion of irony self-contradiction.
No one will know if you actually know what 'irony' means.
If a person got sevely sick or died after believing lies that seems less important than if the wrong song played in the background of the youtube video?
About 20 years ago Lee Smolin published "The Trouble with Physics" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trouble_with_Physics) and Peter Woit published "Not even Wrong" where they described the core problem with String theory as people attached to the community to the general public of interest (i guess mostly scientists).
Since then, things have shifted a little bit, and the mindset is
changing. That does not mean that everything is peacy already - people who got their professorships 20 years ago may be heads of chairs right now.
I also am fully convinced (as a former experimental physicist who has nothing to do with particle physics) that sometimes it is necessary to follow and explore theories which do not result in immediate predictions. You only will know later if it did not work, and in the current interpretation on youtube there is a lot of hindsight.
That's an interesting link, thank you.
The "nuances or causal factors" do show up -- somewhat -- farther down that report:
It is sometimes less obvious when an electric burner is turned on or is still hot than it is with gas burners. In addition, once turned off, it takes time for an electric burner to cool. UL 858, Household Electric Ranges, which took effect in June of 2018, includes requirements for electric coil ranges to prevent the ignition of cooking oil. Compliance may be demonstrated by either not igniting cooking oil in a cast iron pan or keeping the average temperature of the inside bottom surface of the pan below or equal to 725F (385C). All electrical coil ranges being manufactured now must meet these requirements. Because ranges last a long time, it could be years before these safer ranges become common in US homes.
Fair. MY point is that I don't trust that source because whomever/whatever wrote it made a logical error.
