Just saw an old man wearing a Final Fantasy VIi hat and I have a desire to ask him what he thinks about NPCs and sentience

These types of "people who consume X get [benefit]" nutrition studies drive me up the wall. Half the time the choice of food/nutrient/whatever is just a proxy for SES

If you have the finite population view, then you could consider the treatment assignment to be random, a la Neyman.

It can depend on if you want to consider the population statistic as a random variable, such as when you want to generalize or transport results to unobserved units (superpopulation). Think to other units (states/provinces in a other country) or in the same states in the future.

The scenery in Yellowstone is fantastic. Rest of the show--meh.

What other shows have great scenery and are worth a watch?

I started watching it because it had Costner. But in my view it became Jimmy's show.

The scenery is fantastic.
