In a video someone discussed the average us household income. Someone commented that that number was actually inflated and it would be better to use median. I found the article the OP was referencing and pointed out that it was in fact the median and pointed out a median is a type of average. They argued for far far too long that average exclusively refers to mean, that median “isn’t even an expected value” and that they were right and I was wrong because they are an engineer who works with this all day long. I ended up getting ganged up by several different accounts, I eventually screenshotted the Wikipedia page for average and got them to all delete their posts.

A lot of my picks are already mentioned so I’ll pick an odd one:

Air crash investigator (called Mayday in NA). It’s dramatizations of the reports from air crashes, organized like a murder mystery. Surprisingly compelling.

I’ve never been nervous about flying but this show really underlined how safe flying is, it’s actually kinda crazy how thorough the reports are and how often they lead to rule changes. I wish the same institutional dedication to safety was practised in other industries (especially cars).

Episodes that take place in the 80s have you face palming at how stupid the mistakes are, more modern episodes are almost always a combination of many many different small low chance events and minor mistakes from the pilot piling up. I usually skip the terrorist episodes though.

Yeah and powder was just trying to free her people. A central theme of the series is good people doing bad things for good reasons. Calling any character a villian feels like missing the point to me.

I don’t agree s2 wasn’t as good but not for that reason.
