1+ 68. Please ensure this rolls into October or at the very least the topic is re-initiated.

I may occasionally validate but I wouldn’t anoint.

I would like to have read what I sense was the OP’s well articulated trip report. Gave up. The thread is somewhat like wading through incessantly inserted commercial ads on an X thread. Or sitting in a movie theatre with other attendees gabbing or flashing their bright phone screens. Let an OP breathe, perhaps, with emoticons and brief references to his content the only prompting needed? Just a reminder that there’s life beyond the board and it’s not necessary to monopolize every dinner table.

I’m sure it’s not lost on @reader that a fellow comprehension challenged manipulator will lurk behind a back-handed validation to land a forward-handed bitch slap.

Oh, burn, way to ruffle feathers and ruin an avian day. Don’t look up out and about.

Yet an obsessed Ambrosia makes like a fruit salad desperately and pathetically seeking attention looking for and making references to the person it unconvincingly ignores.

I understand, Hazel, that the descending Brazil nuts are plunked down upon your still moist pistachio.

For somebody apparently so well versed in all things Thai (though I heartily disagree) and trans (you’re clueless there), as well as crime metrics (again, clueless) it’s no big surprise that you lack basic comprehension of Thai population total, annual homicide rate, and proportion of the overall population identifying as trans. It doesn’t take a mathlete to discern from the Chi-squared crosstabs chart that 15 murders committed by the subpopulation of some 315,000 Thai trans folks would be the threshold at which murder rate would exceed, beyond conventionally statistically significant possibility of chance, that of 2,000 homicides committed among the total population of some 72 million. But it does take a non-contrarian. My initial post text should have stood and now there will be the usual minor array of whiners complaining about their short attention spans. In fact, age-adjusting, as trans status is developmental and that denominator reflects older mean/median age, raises the number up from 15 to 17; 11 homicides by trans persons would be the mathematically equivalent rate. However, such a simple analytical exercise will do little to influence the rigid anchoring of transphobia that is a central theme of this thread. That the news media is the source doesn’t water down the bias behind selective cherry-picking a crime report that lacks relevance to the general agenda of the board.

That express train to Makesmenarcolepticstan left the station ages ago and you’re first conductor.

Interesting. Hats off to him and his possible celibacy. He could make a living streamlining budgets. He may move to Spain and should remain in a low tax bracket. I like Spain a lot and could be happy there. I question the COL transferability from Chiang Mai to Majorca. I hope he likes dented tins of sardines. He may need to pirate internet access. A lot of decision-making comes down to income taxation tiers. I pay a very high proportion of income in tax, almost the highest across Canadian provinces. I was startled by the additional dollars I would pay in Spain even with reciprocal tax treaty. What are those thousands of dollars going to get me there? It amounts to the equivalent of cost for a few travel visits annually. I would still want to travel abroad out of Spain. Additionally, I can afford to travel to Spain once monthly if desired but other locations beckon. It comes down to contentment quotient where you already live and your baseline resources. Grass is greener may be a gateway dependency. Obviously, it’s not about me. Boom.

Mr Nut is def cis.

15. The answer is 15. It would take 15 murders of a year by transpersons to convincingly demonstrate a higher rate of homicide compared to the cisgender population, according to the conventional standard of statistical chance. 14 is not statistically significant. (Attached below) Owing to the idiosyncrasies of statistical analysis the threshold number over 5 years is less, 11.5 annually (57 total). However, it is unlikely that a dozen a year is in the cards. Perhaps these calculations can go some distance in tamping down the pearl-clutching cherry-picking trend of select articles for entry here. It smacks of transphobia and anti-science. The media do not specifically reference an accused that represents the cisgender majority.

Somebody has reached the height of editorial gaffes.

Still, well played.

Vitamin D sourced from sunlight may appear to increases skin cancer risk because sun exposure is relevant to risk. However, any claim of association between D and cancer is spurious (= false). If you hold constant in multivariate analysis all the individual factors deemed as all other inputs implicated in skin cancer, that is, teased out for analysis of association with cancer, including the measurable aspect of D for the sake of thoroughness (although it’s not a known input) sunlight nevertheless clinically and statistically emerges as a genuine independent variable for skin cancer incidence. We won’t get into metastases as it does not add to this piece. Vitamin D supplementation is one single nutrient. That a single nutrient on its own could have a statistically significant and clinically significant impact on the development of a disease that requires so many inputs is a stretch. If one were to claim the relevance of Vitamin D, a multivariate analysis inclusive of all nutrient intake would be required to support it because arbitrarily singling out one nutrient without adding the others introduces problematic bias. That said, cancer can be studied as a categorical binary variable: incidence vs no incidence. Vitamin D level is measurable. No research has uncovered an independent association between Vitamin D and cancer. If a correlation were to occur it would then need to successfully and rigorously satisfy all the assumptions of causation. Not happened and will not likely. Similarly, a single person with skin cancer history may avoid sunlight and as a result increase Vitamin D supplementation for clinical benefit. A recurrence or exacerbation would be associated with an increase in Vitamin D levels. It would be an artefact of the range of inputs outside of Vitamin D consideration, not the least of which would be an existing predisposition to skin cancer. The relation to Vitamin D is, again, spurious.

What other cum is there if your tub of yoghurt is empty?

Correlation between what facial features? Or correlation between what relatives? Relatives tend to possess features in common. Otherwise, an association between two variables is not relative; the correlation simply exists or doesn’t at a grade of magnitude. One could assess, say, the association between facial length and width ratio to aggregate diving score among divers relative to that same ratio and aggregate artistic gymnastics score among gymnasts. These would be objective examples. It’s not lost on me that such an exercise would be ridiculous. But you could go on Twitter X and yield both agreement and loads of eye rolls commenting on subjective impressions of facial features in competitive sports. My sense is that the latter yield would be more overwhelming.

Off the deep end and can spell Depend. Passes his smell test. This merits a snack.

You hit the mark if you are referring to the agita of boxing gender and the steaming piles of bull shovelled around it by ignoramuses. These Games were the anti-Barbie of the year.
