I finally have a reason to use my weeks of accumulated sick leave.

Oh god what have you done. Forevermore I will think of this at work

But hey, maybe you'd be able to score some valuable Beanie Babies.

For Kitchen Nightmares that's true, but Hell's Kitchen is another story altogether for his persona.

I like it when I have plans - camping, long motorcycle trips, board games with friends. Totally with you otherwise during work periods. Seeing the possibility and being unable to do anything with it is the worst.

You're bang on. It's called MaxDiff. I use it frequently in my line of work to prioritise product or service messaging with panel data. It's better in some cases to use Inferred preference rather than stated, but generally good to keep the options comparable in "size" of offer.

I would never interpret a MaxDiff model low end result as "wow, 5% of people want slower browsers." Instead I'm focusing on the top cluster. As with any model, they're only ever so accurate. Don't read into the questions too much.

It's an Inferred importance method, as other users have commented it is likely that there are some calibration metrics in there. MaxDiff is the name of the approach if you want to check out more.

And I'm sure inevitably, the site will become harder to run as more and more companies enter the shit list. Over time - features will be cut to save effort. List entry will be out sourced. The company itself, of course, will not see the irony. Finally - a new website emerges to track the enshittification of enshittification tracking websites. And the prophecy continues.

I miss that game. Not much tickles the same creativity and playfulness that I've tried since then. I used to spend hours in the level creator doing dumb stuff.

Seems like they know exactly what they're doing

WYSIWYG is also pretty common these days for tabletop gaming, with regard for models using the rules for whatever weapons or equipment they are actually holding. This came around as often people build the model one way (e.g. with a machine gun) before a rule change, after which they want to use the better rules without re-doing the model (e.g. with a flamethrower).

Say W really slowly out loud and count the syllables. Where do you live that W isn't three syllables?
