  • Very important point, just one technical remark, because I see this a lot: You don’t necessarily want or need random samples in surveys. What you want is a probability sample, which means that you know the probability with which a person enters the sample. A random sample is a special type of probability sample, where each person has the same probability to enter the sample.

    The large sample used for this “survey” in the OP is a convenience sample, which is a non-probability sample, where the persons’ probabilities to enter the sample are simply unknown. And this is often not a useful basis for a survey, because it’s affected by all sorts of response biases that are difficult to adjust for in non-probability samples.


  • BARF is an acronym for biologically appropriate raw food, which is a kind of pet diet in which owners feed their pets raw food (some pet owners swear by it, I personally think it’s nonsense). This product looks like a pure supplement that is only meant to be added to raw food for extra nutrients.
















  • Civ games at launch are often a bit of a mixed bag, and the games improve over time with patches and expansions. That being said, the game isn’t even fully out yet, and early Steam reviews are notoriously unreliable and undifferentiated. For your first civ game, maybe look at earlier titles like Civ 5 or 6. They have aged very well, I still play 6 all the time.
