I don’t want to be cold. I want to be comfortable. I want to not sweat. And for that to happen, I need the room to be cold.

3·9 months agoIt’s very possible to defeat the dragon. I can do it pretty regularly after a day of heavy playing. Getting the achievements is tougher. And I still haven’t gotten a clean wipe yet (I’ve been 1 tile away twice though)

You’re exactly right.
You’re talking about data that doesn’t back the initial hypothesis. That isn’t bad data in this context, and you’re correct that it is still valuable for reforming hypotheses and re-running the experiment.
Bad data in this context is referring to data quality - things like inconsistent collection, inadequate/missing data, free text vs controlled input, etc. In those cases the data can become almost useless (and this is usually known by the people working on a project but not necessarily by their management). This causes pressure to turn shit into gold when that just isn’t possible.
Imagine that your boss wanted you to predict what the temperature will be next Tuesday. In order to do this, your company has provided you the temperature from every Tuesday for the past 12 years. If that wasn’t bad enough, at first they recorded the date in DDMMYY format but 10 years ago they switched to MMDDYY. However, some records were still collected in the legacy DDMMYY format due to lack of training in the temperature collection department, and there is no way to distinguish the correct date. Also, one employee who was close to retirement only collected the temperature as “Hot” or “Cold” because that is how he was trained to do it when he was first hired 50 years ago and he never bothered to learn the new system. Now, you can probably build a model that tracks weekly temperature over time and approximates the next Tuesday’s temperature based on something like seasonality, the historical average, and the most recent Tuesday. But you’ll know that it’s not the best estimate, you’ll know there is way better data out there, and you’ll probably be able to make a simpler, more accurate estimate just by averaging the temperature from Saturday/Sunday/Monday.
That’s bad data.

Also, don’t they need to run to move food through their digestive tract? Or to force themselves to cough if they have something stuck in their lungs? I think there is some sort of dependency of basic functions that relies on the movement of their lungs/stomach going back and forth while running that they can’t easily do if they just stand in one place all day

And alcohol interacts with it and increases the risk. So, 2.5g + alcohol is enough to kill you.
