This document contains snippets of text from various sources on a variety of topics including music, language, driving accidents, health accidents, religion, atheism, weather, hurricanes, climate change and bringing people together. The text discusses how roundabouts reduce driving accidents, how religiosity may impact health outcomes, hurricanes causing billions in damage in the US, and how climate change skepticism threatens research.

Databeers Dub #3 - Diarmuid Ryan - Data Den
- 1. DATA DEN October 2017 Secret commentaries in speaker notes. Safety Notice May contain small bones. All opinions are written by wild animals and are not shared by their gamekeeper. Safety Notice May contain small bones. All opinions are written by wild animals and are not shared by their gamekeeper.
- 2. To start with a happy accident it turns out that music tastes not just shape language but create it as for driving… accidents were reduced by roundabouts and with more quality data can surely be reduced further... when it comes to accidents in health... where religiosity might play a role in outcomes... whilst atheists seemed preoccupied with other matters. weather and hurricanes advanced on the us wreaking widespread accidental damage totaling billions of dollars almost as devastating as katrina and surely as unwelcome despite trends suggesting increasing damage and frequency from weather events... climate change skepticism continues to eat away at research threatening to pour cold water... on a hot topic… still... we’re all in this together

- Unsurprisingly, “Bro” and “Homie” skew heavily towards Hip Hop. “Sea” and “Mountain”... not so much. 275,905 songs (about 47 million words) spanning all music genres Here’s all the words we measured. Dots farther to the right are more popular in hip hop. Dots farther up-top are popular in other genres.

- I’d be interested to see someone create a composite of names from previous storms and hurricanes to explore whether impact is proportional to damage. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/6z87h5/there_was_a_sharp_decline_in_the_number_of_babies/
- Whilst this is inflation-adjusted, it would be fair to argue that as an economy grows larger, it will inevitably sustain more damage. Source: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/09/01/upshot/cost-of-hurricane-harvey-only-one-storm-comes-close.html
