Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.
This drives me nuts too, but most of them fall into one of two categories. They are either B2B so don’t care about individual consumers, or they are “lifestyle” businesses with basically one employee who doesn’t or can’t work excessive hours.
Ebbinghaus didn’t integrate areas under the acquisition curve. He wasn’t a mathematical psychologist.
Whatever that is, it’s not a learning curve. Ebbinghaus defined it in his classic work.
That’s where the confusion comes from, conflating the experience of walking up a steep hill vs an acquisition curve.
I thought that was a civil statement. I may be miscalibrated but I thought it was among the mildest of four letter words. I’d be happy to extend my vocabulary in the gentle art of dismissal.
I have given up on “steep learning curve”. A learning curve is proficiency on the Y axis against time on the X. A steep learning curve indicates something that is learned very quickly. A shallow learning curve is something that takes a long time to master. See Ebbinghaus 1885.
Are you my brother-in-law?
Get bent. Impacted is absolutely acceptable usage to describe a direct or follow on affect from an action or initiative. It’s useful precisely because it’s an intensifier that conveys not just that there is a detectable change in an indicator, but there is a major change that directly attributable to the manipulated variable.
ETA: I think I have this figured out. That 70s Show use the phrase “get bent” as a synonym for “fuck off”. That’s not how I learned the meaning in the actual 70s. It was closer in meaning to “get real” and in line with the reported etymology of “go have a drink”.
A lot places didn’t. My family comes from a rural location and there were places without telephone service in the 70s.
Anything that presents a risk of viewing a penis.
help them relieve stress by unburdening them…
Uhhhh what are you suggesting here exactly?
I have all that shit autoblocked.
Platypus. So goofy looking on one hand. Poisonous spurs on the other.
A review paper from a reputable journal. The Annual Reviews series was great for this. Some of the Nature journals also used to run mini-reviews associated with research papers in the issue.
Happy Birthday has the kind of universal recognition you’d be looking for. Maybe in 300 years there’ll be a lyrical shift towards something more interesting. I know multiple versions of Greensleeves. The Cuckoo is the other song that I can think of with a long history. The wiki article doesn’t fully capture it. I’ll stick something in here later.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo_(song)
Lol.
