X is 2.3 bars greater than Y. (<-Yeah, you kind of do)

If there is 5 lines between those two values you can count the lines. You can also subtract the values of the two, which will give an exact difference. As I already covered, the bars (when starting from a zero sum) will be to scale so when a bar is 30% taller, it is that size because the values is 30% greater. Same…

As far as relative value, the bars themselves are a model system of size/value representation. The only time lines would be necessary would be if the base number was not zero (in that case the values would be visually truncated). Its just like a police line up, but instead of the lines each suspect holds their height.…

Depending on the number of bars (and variation in results), direct labeling prevents what I call affectionately the need for a ruler, or the finger drag (SFW version).

Beets you have my vote. I think of the direct label as the equivalent of a digital watch, many may argue it loses character, but is much easier to digest. I wish I had that gif 10 years ago. Thanks

Most ego bloated fill in the blank (journalist in this case) dont care about 'the truth' instead there is only 'their Truth.' When it is them with power, responsibility is suddenly optional.

THAT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM... and apparently so do I. *Stares at feet*

Yeah but if he keeps em locked up too long, the number of goats he gets may decrease.

When Derick remembered the day his mom told him they only had the budget for a trumpet or a sex doll (pillow and lipstick), He finally knew then he may not have made the right choice.

Sounds like the name of a night club in Miami.

Are you saying Mark Wahlberg's daughters aren't his property. And that if he wants them to grow up to be functional healthy adults, he may want to try treating them as such? Dont you go using 'logic', you've done nothing when you've bested a fool. ;)

For me, this is about "Religious" free speech having special protections, that regular free speech doesn't. I just dont understand how a for-profit business can also claim to be a religious organization, or how the business itself should be allowed to compete with non-religious businesses and get special exceptions.

How the hell can a company be for-profit and a religious interest? If I religiously believe in capitalism, does that mean I should be allowed to not pay taxes since they are inherently counter to the focus of MY RELIGION?!?

Good point, I have had to replace mine a few times, and on top of extending their life, I wondered about the heat and energy costs. Any suggestions on bulbs?

Wow, (seriously) thanks for actually giving useful info.

Wow, I almost left a serious comment. Ohhh Yooooou...you almost got me.

Could the same style of protests be staged at sidewalks near churches? Or is there different religious protections. I imagine an effective protest being to going to churches and offering other belief options, of course, you wouldn't be harassing individuals as much as groups, but it would make a point of how offensive…

The noses are similar sizes, and shapes, it looks like the photos were taken from different angles so that may be why the nose looks different (the nostrils show in one, not the other).
