Not what most people are calling out here, but I think you'll see that those grey circles over with in the North America space are most of the cities in New Zealand and Australia 😭
This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

Stumbled across this today. As someone who has tried to improve their garden soil, by adding tandem trailer loads of stuff, and barely adding a few mm, 3 inches across all of the UK is just MASSIVE

This is why I wrote a paper on count regression, and in general am a big proponent of generalised linear models. Almost nothing is 'normal'/gaussian. Days off sick are very obviously a count (whole numbers only, never below zero) doi.org/10.1080/2164...
For instance, yesterday I read a paper with a table describing participants' sickness absence days with a mean of 71 and SD = 88. Generating a random (gaussian) sample using these values produces ~20% participants with less than zero sick days.
