They are for mounting the new 20m comic sans logo Fabiola ordered when she got her second appointment

Notera att min länk har mycket längre tidsperspektiv än Wikipedia figuren du länkade till, tittar vi hur identiteten rör sig sen 2014 så har pro-skottska andelen gått upp typ 6%

Men med detta vill jag nog inte säga något mer intressant än att det är svårt att säga något säkert om hur folk i stort tycker.

Resultatet i enkätundersökning är dock ganska känsligt för hur en frågar, och medielogiken är ju sådan att frågorna redaktionen betalar för mycket handlar om det dagsaktuella ("om valet var idag"). En kan lätt tänka sig att det som då mäts har mer betoning på flyktiga dagsfrågor än mer trögrörliga åsikter.

Jämför självständighetsfrågan med frågan om den egna identiteten: https://www.whatscotlandthinks.org/questions/moreno-national-identity-5/?groups%5B0%5D%5B0%5D=Scottish%2Bnot%2BBritish&groups%5B0%5D%5B1%5D=More%2BScottish%2Bthan%2BBritish&groups%5B1%5D%5B3%5D=More%2BBritish%2Bthan%2BScottish&groups%5B1%5D%5B4%5D=British%2Bnot%2BScottish&groups%5B2%5D%5B6%5D=Other%2Bdescription&groups%5B2%5D%5B7%5D=None%2Bof%2Bthese

Well, they don't really put any effort into determining if he really has any contact (like asking to see call history) but mainly
I'm thinking in of this section, where the authors even feel obliged so say it is just wild speculation (but print it anyway): "Niemeyer said that if [Wagenknecht] formed her own party, she could garner about 10 to 20 percent of the national vote, drawing some AfD support. But if she officially forged an alliance with the AfD, Niemeyer asserted, without citing any specific polling, 'she would probably be given a majority.'"

@Loukas
I don't really get why Niemeyer gets so much space, an ex-husband "whose house was raided in late March as part of a criminal investigation over his alleged involvement in a plot by the ultra-right Reichsbürger movement to overthrow the German government" does not strike me as the most reliable analyst of German politics...

One source of that I've seen is the "Enron corpus" spreadsheets harvested from all the emails published after Enron went bankrupt in 2001. That collection of spreadsheets had an error in about 24 % of all reviewed documents.

Yeah, visa applications can suck tremendously, and I expect this is in no small part because the entire enterprise of migration control is pretty sucky at its core: coming up with reason to deny foreigners from tainting the motherland...

As an aside, I wonder if the visa services in the EU have deteriorated after Schengen was enacted and made visa applicants more purely into "foreigners" as most neighbours now don't need to trouble with it?

Alternative title "people don't know what's good for them" :(

Would be interesting to extend the test with a feed containing corrections to several media outlets to remind subjects that actual errors aren't as rare as the public corrections.

Personally I find public corrections a mark of competence; when a news weekly I subscribed to got a new editor that proudly proclaimed he would publish no trigger warnings (none has been published previously) while also cutting the modes corrections section I stopped subscribing.
