sounds like you were justified in your statements.

There are lots of definitions.

The atmosphere drops off exponentially with height. That's math for "it gets small really quick as you go higher". You can go to the top of a mountain and notice the change. The change being that pressure is lower, and the density is lower.

You are more likely to notice a lower pressure. Fun story: I drove up pikes peak in Colorado, which goes from around 5000 feet elevation up to 14,000 feet elevation. I had a bag of potato chips (salt and vinegar) in the car. As we were going up, the bag expanded, and you could see it. It looked like it was about to burst. That is because the atmosphere pressure was lower, but the pressure in the bag (it is sealed) stayed the same. By the time we reached the top, it actually popped.

So, where does the atmosphere stop?

Hard to say, because it just gets smaller and smaller (i.e. less dense and less dense). So some people pick 80 km altitude as one point, because the air is so thin you can mostly ignore it.

At 100 km, molecules tend to not collide into each other much at all, so that is another good altitude to call the top.

At 10,000km (the exosphere) the molecules there are 50/50 chance of just escaping earth altogether.

So those are the definitions of boundaries, take your pick.

Does it vary with topography? No. It can vary with subtle changes in gravitational forces, but the dynamics of the atmosphere are a much larger effect.

Vary with tides? Yes, but surprise, not so much the moon, but the sun. The sun heats the atmosphere, every day in a nice 24 hour cycle. That makes tides in the atmosphere, where the heating is a strong effect that the gravitational pull. So that is different than with water, where gravitational pull is the main effect. The sun can cause 24 hour tides, but also 12 hour tides, and some 8 hour tides.

Both of those ("in network" and "out of network") can accept your insurance, and your insurance will pay a portion of the costs.

The main difference is that "in network" has agreed on what the cost of a procedure will be, and exactly how much insurance will pay for (taking into account deductibles and co-pays, and what insurance covers - for instance 80%). There is a fixed total cost.

Out of network means the doctor has not agreed to a price with you and your insurance company. The doctor can charge you much more. So you insurance will pay a certain amount but the doctor will bill you directly for the remaining costs.

For instance, you need surgery and it costs $5,000 according to your insurance company. An in-network place will charge you $5000 (and for instance, you might bay $1000 deductible plus 20% of remainder for a total of $1800).

However, go to an out-of-network place, and they might charge you $10,000. You insurance will kick the same $3200 dollars (maybe, they could just say it is flat out not covered), so you have to pay the remaining $6800.

Keep in mind you are always still paying your premiums for health insurance, but if you don't follow their rules and see their in network people, you typically get screwed. And this is a small example (like getting a wart removed). There can be medical bills in the 10s of thousands or hundreds of thousands dollars easily.

Note: this only occurs in the USA.

What figure are we supposed to be looking at? And what makes them beautiful, it's just the most simple line plot there could be.

disagree, it's not beautiful. Plotting curves with different ranges is very misleading (in first plot). This would be a good example of how NOT to present data.

The fact that there is technically a secret word somewhere in the legend, that allows someone to be able to decipher it, doesn't negate that the plot is poorly presented. No one should have to make the effort to go searching to understand the presentation.

"Rollan Roberts II, the son of West Virginia State Senator Rollan Roberts, has filed to run for President in 2024.

According to Roberts II’s website: “Rollan Roberts II is an American businessman, government advisor, and 2024 Republican candidate for President of the United States. He is married to Rebecca Lea Roberts, with whom they share one son, Rollan III, due July 2, 2023, and has 2 daughters (17 and 21) from a previous marriage."

Um, how about "DUE JULY 4, 2023!!!!"

That way you will get all the republicans to vote for you. USA USA USA

Yes, or just call someone on the board right now.

Thing is, it is probably a typo. They'll just change the website from $ to %.

I'm not sure there is a leg to stand on legally in recouping any money. It may be stated as a percentage elsewhere, or on the contracts, in the covenants, etc. The fact that you paid it several times may indicate an agreement to that cost.

Couple comments, $7 (or 3$) seems ridiculous to be charged to pay a bill. There should be a better way to pay it.

On "Crappy HOA", all financial statements are available, and you can probably download them all right now from their website. The fact is, there are costs involved living in a neighborhood. Much of mandated by law. You need a reserve fund, you need insurance, you need to maintain property. It's pretty much unanimous that everyone complains about HOA costs, but for most of them, they are as bare bones as legally possible.

Can you delay taking the new apartment for a month?

I'm confused about the "thank you for renewing" email, and the "you are not renewed" statement. Those seem to be contradictory. Make damn sure you have given notice and that you are leaving. Make sure you are not on the hook for another full year.

As for the previous place, you don't have to "sublet" for a month, but just find someone who wants to move in when you are gone, and make an arrangement that they pay you the rent for January. It's a bonus for them, they get the place a month early. There's a fair chance you can get that arranged.

> Immigrant children born in Canada are less likely to follow religion than not.

That is actually the wrong conclusion, so you inadvertently proved my point.

In fact, I don't understand your statement. Immigrant children are less likely to follow religion than not follow religion? ? ? ?

Here, if you decode all the graphics, the conclusion is that the 2nd generation children are less likely to follow religion than 1st generation children. That's what the graphics show with their labels, but I suspect that isn't what OP meant. Maybe it is that 1st generation of children born in canada of immigrant parents are less religion than their parents (the immigrants born abroad).

less likely THAN?

you forgot to finish your statement. When you use a word like 'less' or 'more' it always needs a 'than'.

I'd suggest putting a total in there, like another bar graph with the total religious people (in 1st gen and 2nd gen).

I'd suggest putting the non-religious in a different color, and separated out from the list. That particular piece is showing a very different result (ie. the opposite0, but it has the same colors and is placed in the same list.

Canada has always been way ahead of the USA in terms of banking technology, though I suppose the usa has probably finally caught up.

Debit cards will be fine, everything in Canada will be on Interac, and a few other international banking systems, so they can access your account.

You can bring American cash with you and exchange it canada (there is always a place in airports or train stations, if you are taking that).

Frankly, I'd think the tattoo artist would be thrilled to take American cash, but they'd probably ding you on the exchange rate.
