Show the Y-axis Lily.

This graph means nothing without view counts. Getting 8X the average daily view count for this video doesn't mean much if that average is 10 views/day. I'm just going to assume this is the case until you post a complete graph or the actual view counts.

Congrats on getting 80 people to watch your terrible video yesterday Lily! You're quite the YouTuber!

Figure 3.6 tells the story of my ruin in a different way. Statisticians call Figures 3.4 and 3.5 linear-linear graphs, because the scales on each axis grow by linear increments; that is, each week that passes occupies the same amount of space along the horizonal axis, each dollar of debt the same space on the vertical axis. Figure 3.6, by contrast, is what statisticians call log-linear.

Already a century and a half ago the British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli felt moved to remark, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics," and Figure 3.6 may strike you as proving his point. But all it really does is highlight a different aspect of my debt than Figures 3.4 and 3.5.

mage viktor discourse again on twitter and all i can say in my little corner over here once again is, I don't know why the entire fandom takes it as canon that mage Viktor failed to save every world he manipulated.

Canon does not provide evidence of this. This is fanon speculation. It's a fine headcanon to have, but everyone talks about it like it's canon when it isn't. Canon is ambiguous about the outcome of the timelines mage Viktor altered. The little nods we are given point, in my opinion, towards the opposite conclusion, that he successfully averted destruction.

I've written meta on this before but in summary:

1) 'In all timelines, in all possibilities' is worded precisely, it's not 'out of all timelines'; the implication is that every time, Jayce brings Viktor back from the brink, not just in our timeline. 'Only you' doesn't refer to our timeline's Jayce, it refers to all Jayces. Jayce always brings him home. If Viktor continuously put the fate of each timeline in Jayce's hands and Jayce failed over and over, I don't think he'd say those words. And the way he says them matters. His words are tinged with wonder, not sorrow. As if over and over again, he is shown that Jayce saves him, and it continues to amaze him. He doesn't sound defeated, like this is the next in a long line of Jayces he's sending off to die. The feeling is that Viktor's faith in Jayce has not been misplaced.

2) If mage Viktor doomed every timeline, there would be hundreds (or more) mage Viktors. All running around manipulating timelines. I highly doubt the writers wanted to get into that kind of sticky situation. The tragedy of mage Viktor is that he is singular. Alone. Burdened with the responsibility of the multiverse. The emotional gut punch of his fate is ruined if other timelines led to the same outcome, and from a practical standpoint, having multiple reality-bending omniscient mages would rip apart the fabric of the arcane.

There are other points, such as there being only one corrupted Mercury Hammer and our Jayce is the only one to receive it, and the fact that if mage Viktor is as omniscient as he is implied to be, he could easily step back into other timelines and correct course, because it's highly unlikely he could sit still and watch things go down in flames. But these things can be argued elsewhere.

While I love conversations about mage Viktor's motives and selfishness vs altruism, the writers & artbook have expressed that Jayce and Viktor care greatly about Runeterra and want to fix their mistakes to save it, and that their reconciliation is symbolic of Piltover and Zaun coming together as well. Yes, they make disastrous decisions towards each other, making choices for the other or without the other, which has negative consequences for their relationship and for Runeterra - but I think fandom pushes their selfishness even past what's canon sometimes, as if their entire goal hadn't always been to selflessly help the world around them. Their final reconciliation is about bridging the gap that grew between them - the pain and grief and secrets, betraying themselves and each other - to mutually choose each other openly and honestly. Part of the beauty of their story, as expressed by the creators, is that in their final moments, they chose each other and took responsibility for their actions by sacrificing themselves to end what they started, together - and that choosing each other saved the world. TPTB have stated this - that Jayce and Viktor are the glue holding civilization together, and when they come back to each other, they can restore balance. It's when they're apart, when they hurt each other and miscommunicate, when they abandon their commitment to each other and their dream, that the greater world suffers. Their strife is mirrored in the story-world at large.

Mage Viktor is framed as a solitary penitent figure, damned to an eternity of atoning for his mistakes. He paid the ultimate price and now is forced to live his personal nightmare of exactly what he was trying to avoid for himself with the glorious evolution. The narrative clues we're given point more in the direction that he saves timelines rather than dooms them. If Viktor's actions kept killing Jayce, the very boy he couldn't bear to not save each time, it would undermine these narrative choices. Yes, Viktor couldn't stand to live in a world where he never meets Jayce, so he ensures it keeps happening. But in that same breath, he couldn't bear to see a world where his actions continue to destroy Jayce and destroy Runeterra. His entire arc in s2 is born of his selfless desire to help humanity, help individual people. He would not lightly destroy entire worlds. That's his original grief multiplied a thousandfold, and narratively it would lessen the impact of the one, true loss he did suffer, his own Jayce. It wouldn't make sense for him to be alright with damning other timelines to suffer the same catastrophic tragedy that created him. I mean, maybe I'm delusional here, but is that not the entire point? Because that's what I took away when I watched the show.

As I said, I love discussions about mage Viktor, as there's a lot to play with. All I wish is that the fandom at large would not just assume or accept the Mage Viktor Dooms Every Timeline idea as canon, when there is nothing in the actual canon that confirms this. Maybe people need to just, go back and rewatch the actual episode, to recall how mage Viktor is presented to us, and what it's implied we're supposed to take away from his scenes, and separate that from the layers of headcanon the fandom has constructed.

Sometimes date nights become making surveys with your girlfriend about what dessert is because you're both AuDHD and tangented real hard from a off hand comment in the would you rather youtube video you were watching together.

We'd love to find out what you think it is! So please we spent several days making and put through several rounds of testing take the survey!

i know it’s the internet and i under no circumstances expect better but it’s really funny when there’s a SaveQueerStories post that says like

“queer shows get canceled more despite having as many viewers” and the webpage has a full data breakdown about how there’s no logical reason except queerphobia

and someone in the comments will just be like “it’s cuz no one is watching it.” damn that’s embarrassing for YOU dude.

What is data cleaning with pandas

Data cleaning with Pandas involves using the library's powerful functions to prepare and transform raw data into a format suitable for analysis. Raw datasets often contain inconsistencies, missing values, duplicates, or incorrect data types, which can skew results if not properly handled.

Key steps in data cleaning with Pandas include:

Handling Missing Data: Missing values can be addressed using methods such as fillna() to replace them with a default value or the mean/median of a column, or by using dropna() to remove rows or columns with missing values.

Removing Duplicates: Duplicated rows can be identified and removed using drop_duplicates(), which ensures each record is unique and prevents skewed analysis.

Data Type Conversion: Incorrect data types can cause issues during analysis. The astype() function allows you to convert columns to appropriate types, such as changing strings to dates or numbers.

Filtering and Renaming Columns: You can filter or rename columns using filter() or rename(), making the dataset easier to manage and understand.

Standardizing Data: Inconsistent formatting, such as varying text capitalization, can be standardized using methods like str.lower() or str.strip(). Handling Outliers: Pandas can also help in identifying and handling outliers by applying functions like describe() to detect unusual values.

genetics is so unserious sometimes i was just in a meeting where it took me like ten minutes to realize that when they were saying “bag of marbles” it was the actual name of a gene .
