Really? I think we have exactly the same problem in the UK. Granted, my eyes are more susceptible post laser surgery, but headlights are definitely getting brighter and higher as the years go by.

> And yet there have been several recent studies that show the younger someone is, the more likely they are to be scammed online.

I think you are misreading the post. Pretty sure they meant

you could trick me into believing I was talking with Elon, but you could not trick me into believing I was talking with my son

To which I agree personally, though I don't know how universal this is.

One big difference is that there are lots of reviews for $CommonPosition. With this, you'd have to expect that most reviews are the only one for a given property/landlord

I find that storing the jars upside down works surprisingly well.

From the article:

> Unfortunately, if you’ve been observing the p-values, you’ve noticed that most have been very high, and therefore that test is not enough evidence that the tips/threats change the distribution

It doesn't look like these p values have been corrected for multiple hypothesis testing either. Overall, I would conclude that this is evidence that tipping does _not_ impact the distribution of lengths.

4.5L of 0.5% ABV beer would not make you drunk. For comparison, this is equivalent to less than a pint of a typical mainstream beer. Indeed a 0.5% ABV drink can be branded alcohol free (at least in the UK).

Would 4.5L of 2% ABV make you drunk? Depends how quickly you can drink it. It's 9 units of alcohol. We commonly assume the body can process 1 unit/hour so if this quantity was consumed over an entire day, I don't think you'd get merry.

I'm not saying it's a good idea to drink like this, just highlighting the impact of ABV on the outcome.
