You managed to ignore "generally" twice (specifically put in to avoid your exact kind of response), construct a strawman argument for me, and then failed to actually defeat that strawman argument. Who is talking about "stars?" None of the cast I mentioned in the original comment are stars. They're ESTABLISHED, EXPERIENCED, PROVEN actors. That's literally the whole point I was making.

And your response to the strawman you constructed is... there is zero correlation between stardom and acting ability? It kind of seems like you and the op are saying there is an INVERSE correlation. But I'm the crazy talker here? okay.

I'm not quibbling over anything. I disagree with "Unheard of actors is generally a good thing when doing a new series" and the logic provided. It's just ridiculous on its face. Generally, people with more experience produce better results. Generally, people who have a history of producing better results produce better results. Who would have thought?

Alright, we have successfully destroyed all 400,000,000 guns in the US. What do these disturbed young men, who would murder children if given the opportunity, do? Are they magically cured? Or do they rent a U-Haul and drive through a little league game? what do we do that at that point? or do you make concessions and argue semantics and degrees of lethality?

Yeah, I don't feel that way at all about Linux and I daily drive it. Could you imagine our mothers troubleshooting any of the following things that have regularly happened to me on Linux in the last 5 years I've been daily driving it:

* Hm, my sound stopped working. * Hm, dhcp stopped working. * X has completely failed to start. * This website just straight up doesn't load. * Thia game won't load (pretend it's solitaire). * This update broke my boot. * Seemingly doing nothing broke my boot. * This update broke my browser. * This application does not work without configuration. * My monitor layout is broken.

Maybe things are better in Ubuntu land, but I doubt it's as seamless as Windows/Mac.

The techniques used to smear individual observations over vast swathes of territory tend to leave much to be desired.

I am by no means an expert, but after farting around with climate data, even today I'm curious how they smear data across comparatively smaller swathes of territory.

I've noticed, in my area (south west), that many of the stations are located in seemingly unique microclimates--like the tops of mountains, on the shores of rivers, etc.

It roadblocked my layman research because distance to a given station was not very indicative of how that area's climate is.
