On days I'm angry at everyone and not driving on the interstate myself, I'd almost rather go to Finland's "day-fine" system https://www.weforum.org/stories/2018/06/in-finland-speeding-tickets-are-linked-to-your-income/ Otherwise, yes, Sweden's is much better.

I find what it takes to be interesting greatly depends on how much work I have (more work to avoid makes it easier for things to be interesting) and how close the deadline is (closer is harder to be interesting because I still have some survival instincts).

Taking a break from the real world, the two (traditionally not great) college football teams I root for most are now a combined 5-1 on the season and the two I root against most (Clemson and Notre Dame) are a combined 1-4.:) Don't think it will hold out that way for the full season, but it's a...

As you say, this is not an academic setting. But over half way through my third decade as a psychometrician and statistician it's a pet peeve I failed my save on letting pass. The wide spread mistaken belief that things should follow a normal curve or that certain cut percents are magical lead...
