Damn.  BestBrokers took the worst common visualization tool, and somehow made it even more worthless.  That's a feat. 


Ranking the most useless visualizations:

1)  Radar graphs
2)  Pie charts
3)  Donut chart
3)  Dual y-axis charts
4)  3D bar charts


Ranking my counting ability on a scale from 1 to 10:

0.  

I had one job.....

And yeah, I realize 0 isn't within a scale of 1 to 10, but remember, I can't count.

I just assumed you'd done it intentionally.  Clearly I gave you too much credit... :)

I thought of the third one last, inserted it where I thought it should go, then forgot to re-number the subsequent ones.  

s'what happens when I'm in a hurry to goof off here when I'm supposed to be working.

They should re-name them Burger, Steak, and Methane.

We used to have a bunch of bison belching methane too.

Using FanDuel's current rankings, Florida plays 8 of the top 21 teams in 2025.

There's an old western video game in which over time, you can eventually kill the last bison.  And it tells you when you do it.
It's stark.

American bison (Bison bison L.) have recovered from the brink of extinction over the past century. Bison reintroduction creates multiple environmental benefits, but impacts on greenhouse gas emissions are poorly understood. Bison are thought to have produced some 2 Tg yr−1 of the estimated 9–15 Tg yr−1 of pre-industrial enteric methane emissions, but few measurements have been made due to their mobile grazing habits and safety issues associated with measuring non-domesticated animals. Here, we measure methane and carbon dioxide fluxes from a bison herd on an enclosed pasture during daytime periods in winter using eddy covariance. Methane emissions from the study area were negligible in the absence of bison (mean ± standard deviation = −0.0009 ± 0.008 µmol m−2 s −1 ) and were significantly greater than zero, 0.048 ± 0.082 µmol m−2 s −1 , with a positively skewed distribution, when bison were present. We coupled bison location estimates from automated camera images with two independent flux footprint models to calculate a mean per-animal methane efflux of 58.5 µmol s−1 per bison, similar to eddy covariance measurements of methane efflux from a cattle feedlot during winter
