- Oh yes indeed. For example, here's something I was just working on:
=LET(
k))groupAvg,h, ROWS(A2#), names, A2#, vals, K2:INDEX(K:K, h+1), denoms, J2:INDEX(J:J, h+1), k, 20, groupAvg, SUMPRODUCT(vals, denoms) / SUM(denoms), adj, (denoms/(denoms + k))*vals + (k/(denoms +
)inc, (names <> "") \* ISNUMBER(vals), namesF, FILTER(names, inc), valsF, FILTER(vals, inc), denomsF, FILTER(denoms, inc), adjF, FILTER(adj, inc), r, ROWS(namesF), nShow, MIN(10, r), sorted, SORTBY(HSTACK(namesF, valsF, denomsF), adjF, -1), TAKE(sorted, nShow) - Let’s use a little logic. What are the “both sides” here? Megacorps with billions vs “local media”? Citizens?
Yes, that’s a balanced equation.
Now, do we have any evidence to back complaints?

Yes, “both sides”.
- Name media calling for the death of republicans or republican commentators.
I can name someone who called Trump a NAZI, JD Vance.
Go look at Twitter right now, it’s NYE for republicans. They’ve convinced themselves, sans evidence, that this was a leftist shooter. There are literally hundreds of thousands of posts foaming at the mouth that they can now hunt liberals and that the civil war has started. You’re doing the thing you claim to hate and frankly it’s disgusting.

- Wait, do you actually buy into the myth that billionaires are billionaires because of merit?
Hell, let’s do a true meritocracy. Zero inheritance, zero. High quality public schools for all, homeschooling and private schools made illegal. Public and free health insurance, no private options. Keep that line of thought and you might get close to an actual meritocracy.
- You're kidding yourself if you think Pogacar would run 30mm tires at 55 PSI at the detriment of speed to please his sponsors. Cyclists are notorious for re-badging stuff they don't want to use and being super finicky with their gear. You're talking about guys that hardly celebrate a win with a $250k purse because they want to make sure they stopped their ride right on the finish line on their headunit.
- As a cyclist, this is a situation in which I find this type of reviewing close to worthless to be honest. Throwing a tire on a metal roller is very far removed from riding unless you're on a velodrome or perfectly maintained road. This has led to a lot of push-back in the cycling community against this site and its findings. Their testing methodology, especially before they made recent changes, largely will prefer skinny, highly inflated tires. But in the real world, everyone is finding fatter, less inflated tires are faster, because in the real world compliance (smoothly rolling over every road variation, rock or pebble) is faster.
- I've been using Bluesky for a week and I'm impressed. I actually appreciate that there is less media, it's more about conversation. So far it feels very much like Twitter before it became a cesspool. I'm conversing with local journalists, prominent scientists, sci-fi authors, etc... It's wonderful.
- SCOTUS has to be checked somehow. Make no mistake about it, this is another power grab. This SCOTUS is snatching up Executive and Congressional powers day after day and assigning them unto itself. Do Conservatives really want to live in a world where courts and often ultimately SCOTUS are deciding labor matters, which drugs are safe & efficacious, whether or not it's safe for PFAS to be in your drinking water? Because this, Chevron, and other cases being heard and under review are on the path to do just that.
