-.KENTUCKYK LOOKING GLASS. Boon* - - to - Curmudgeons in General A new joy in i^as sprung up in the Editorials. The diamond cutter has been test of the ,M quality of the water, and certified it as excellent. Now, if a great deal more ef¬ fectual means to prevent the destruc¬ tion of the inhabitants of the city by Asiatic Cholera or any other epidemic disease, were introduced into our midst in a manner sim¬ ilar to the "Giles" Improvement over our common bay window, he would he a real benefactor to his species. Some¬ thing should be done. One or two posi¬ tive remedies might prove the means of saving many valuable lives. The arrangement of the Inhabitants Is such in our business portion, that if an epidemic breaks out, it spreads and spreads with fearful rapidity. Now while it is true that no man can tell just what to do to prevent an epidemic, yet it is, as men have discovered, far easier to destroy the condi¬ tions necessary for its existance than to remove them after it has taken rool. Among the eminent men who have studied and written on the sub¬ ject of this Cholera, it is said that we must rely mainly on the "Doctor" of the kitchen rather than on the "Doctor" of physic, to save us from the dread pestilence. If so, then let our friends hereabouts take heed of what that worthy has to say on the subject of" plumbing". The doctor of the kitchen says, "beware of all canned goods excepting fruit". W hat the "Doctor" does not say, but what all know, is, that it is often a good idea to be just as cautious about the fruit as about any other canned goods. I have seen fruit canned, iu town, packed in cans so impure that the workmen were careful to wash their hands after han¬ dling the cans, as if they had been soiled with disease germs. That was some years ago. To-day there is much more danger in consuming canned meats than in any other article of food. Even the canned fruits may be looked upon as dangerous, if we are to credit the learned doctor. What does he tell us? Simply this: that most all of our goods arc preserved with, and colored by "

Asking WhyBot, "What is today's date?" caused a chain of thought provoking ideas about modern society's dependence on technology to tell the time. Cool!

This is awesome, didn't realize there was a dart implementation drawing from grammar of graphics philosophy. ggplot2 (in R) has followed me around in a lot of use cases and such an intuitive way to create complex/customizable graphics. Looking forward to playing around with this.

I finally got around to this. Here's a screenshot of how the new "pencil mode” looks in the latest version of the live app.

By tapping the same box twice, pencil mode is activated. You can enter any placeholders you like in the box.

Tapping the box again disables pencil mode, and the inputs you placed will remain in the background if you need to refer back.

I really like the concept!

I found the issue, led me to realize my scaling across all devices needed a rebuild. Should be fixed in the next release (submitting tonight). Really appreciate it! What features would you like to see for the iPad? More real estate on the screen lends itself to interesting options.

Gotcha and yes - when I started playing, a few apps asked for location permissions, and served ads up before I even started playing. The only ads that are served here are one at the bottom and one when a hint is requested.

Few items to add onto the list thanks to this thread, really appreciate it.

That's helpful, thanks so much!

What type of hints are most useful from your POV? Are they more direct (i.e. here's a free box in case you are stuck), or more suggestive (e.g. "Pay attention to the naked pair in the third grid")?

With the latter, striking a nice balance between hints which are simple to articulate without esoteric terminology is important.

Really appreciate the pencil mode pointer, I'll check it out.

Thanks! A couple people on here have mentioned they like their gameplay to come with 0 advertising so I will remove ads altogether as a feature. Would love to hear how the gameplay went and if you have any suggestions.

Thanks! A pencil tool should be straightforward to add. Do people usually use a stylus for these purposes? Someone else mentioned the ads, I can easily embed some mechanism to remove them.

Hey, thanks for that! I can implement some type of feature for people who want to get rid of ads altogether for a buck or two. Appreciate the suggestion.

Recently I started exercising in person with strangers I meet on the internet (mostly runs and bike rides). Remarkably I have noticed that my running performance is significantly better when training with others above my skill level compared to when I run alone.

After some research I ended up discovering the “Köhler effect” . In the context of fitness, this phenomenon is quite interesting:

This paper found that less capable fitness partners improved their plank time by about 24% when paired with a more capable partner https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51539278_Buddy_Up_T...

Another paper found that swimmers swim faster in a group setting vs. in an individual setting https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00956611/document

This meta analysis of 13 studies around Köhler effect concluded the effect is likely a function of evidential value and not p-hacking https://academic.oup.com/abm/article/55/6/543/5919674
