This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How many times do I have to tell you that this is impossible to know based off indirect estimates before you get it? Because this is the third time.

Maybe read to the end of that sentence and it will make more sense. I know it was a long sentence, and that's scary, but I believe in you.

Are you okay? You seem to not be able to understand what "no direct data" means.

I don't understand why you refuse to engage in good faith with a person who is just trying to teach you things, but now this conversation is over.

I don't understand why you have a problem grasping basic concepts. 🤷
