Reply to California Snow Depth Visualized (Winter '22-'23) [OC] by plantboy97

Beautiful? This is a poor visualization.

This should be a top view map, contour, not 3D. I have no idea what the totals are, where they are, no legend, bad colors etc.

What does the news show when explaining snowfall totals? Not this. Reproduce what others do, while this may look cool, it’s a bad visualization for understanding data.

The ONLY time I saw a 3D isometric work was when it was showing real time by minute #of tweets based on location during the World Cup. When a goal was scored, the bars shot up like cheering. This was the ONLY time this map ever made sense to use.

So go through the case files; look for discrepancies, and file a formal complaint. There is no evidence of this, and in fact he was doing this for decades, so you have the results to analyze if you want.

Your arguments are based on conjecture

How do you know “it is an incredibly profitable business” have you seen their books? And who cares if they make money by showing a judge being a decent human being? It’s not on your dime, why are you so butt hurt?

Then have the city post the channel on YouTube and make revenue.

The article was a hit job, no question. They quoted him as saying “his family has made millions and millions off providence” when in the article it says they don’t know how much they made.

I have zero problem with this, if RI wants to make money on it they can, they decided to let him run his show. Also, the author seems to write an awful lot about politics and has a conservative bent (pro law enforcement, anti teacher) so call me shocked a conservative is attacking a liberal for being a decent human being.

Huh? A simple peanut farmer? He was a nuclear physicist who had the foresight to install solar panels on the White House (Reagan took them down). His fall had to do with oil prices and the Iran hostages.

His presidency was the product of a turbulent 70s based on the oil embargo, and would have won if not for Iran. There are conspiracy theories abound by the hostage crisis, the coordination by Reagan to get their release after he was elected, the helicopter mission that was sabotaged (Ollie North was on the team and in theater)
