    Map of literacy rates per municipality according to the 2020 census. If the vast majority (1508/1634) are above 90% literacy, is it worth it?

    Edit: Is it also worth it to post such huge-ass, 1:1,000,000 maps on Lemmy?

    Edit: Made it 1:2,000,000 , and added a legend and per-province map.

        Yes, which is why it isn’t recommended to use reds often to represent data as it has a negative connotation by default. Source: I do mapping, cartography, and gis work.

          But would you recommend blue to red if you wanted to highlight, say, towns which are more Kapampangan speaking?

            I don’t recommend it. Generally, you would want to use one hue for low to high values of sequential data but you can use 2 hues to increase contrast (e.g., light blue to dark blue, light yellow to blue). Blue and red are opposing colors and is more used as diverging scales where there are neutral tones (and values) in the middle (e.g., negative values, zero, positive values; blue-pale yellow-red). Here’s a nice resource on color schemes, https://colorbrewer2.org

    One Sports just announced they will air the FIFA Women’s World Cup, at least for the Philippines matches.

      Good news for my dad who’s into women’s football more than the mens. For his sake, they should air the entire WC run regardless if it has the Malditas (or Filipinas as they are now called lol).

      Haha, same old talking points na maliit daw tayo when the game is getting less reliant on size and more on all-around skill.

      Did they not watch the 2015 WC when the entire lineup beyond Blatche was 6’4" and below?

        I still see blank VHS tapes being sold at Landmark. I have no idea why, although it makes perfect sense why that stock isn’t moving.

        Pupuntahan nyo yung bahay ng kalaro para sunduin, tas tatawagin mo yung pangalan, extended yung huling pantig. Sampol:

        pangalan ng kalaro: Erning.

        Sisigaw ka sa harap ng bahay: Erniiiiiiii~iing

      Wallet-sized physical photos.

      Di ko alam kung sa school or area lang namin, pero uso before yung studio pics ng barkada. Usually after exams maaga dini-dismiss yung students, so diretso sa mall after and isa yun sa mga madalas puntahan.

      I used to store mine in casette tape cases and may mga ilan din akong napuno.

        Photo studios nowadays are aiming towards occasions/parties na lang. Unlike before na kahit saang Kodak branch, may maglilinya mapa-bata o matanda.

        And dang, may photo booth pa sila dati, eh.

        Nung nag-umpisa lumuwag yung lockdown, we started with a 9am-2pm schedule. It was a temporary measure and often it felt like there was not enough time to finish my tasks. But it gave me enough time to take a 1-2 hour nap while leaving me some hours more for a bit more work and leisure.

      Not enough. Yung Saturday mo is to recuperate from your work from Mon - Friday (assuming a normal M-F, Weekends off schedule), Sunday is for leisure or for some faith, and then fun, kaso nga lang rushed lagi etong mga lakad ng Sunday because you need to get ready for Monday.

      4 day work week may be a possible solution kasi may Rest Day, Gimik Day, and then prep day assuming ung hours for the 5th day of work are spread over to the other 4, or some other form of making up the 5th day through the other 4 days.

    My main phone (One Plus 6T) would be 5 years old by December. And I still don’t feel like replacing it yet. Problem though is that I can’t find a good protective case for it now that the current case is slowly falling apart.

        Medyo wary ako dun sa cheap looking cases due to bad experience. But you reminded me that I actually still have that Spigen case on my cart. I was still holding on the possibility that I could find it locally but I might end up completing the purchase at Amazon.

          Mga manufacturers kasi hindi na gumagawa ng mga case para sa specific model nasa tatlong taon pataas. Kaya ako, kapag may bagong phone ako, bibili ako ng tatlong case at tempered glass bago dumating ang mismong unit

            Yeah. In hindsight I should have gotten an extra case when I bought the current one back in 2020. But honestly, I didn’t even think I’d still keep using the phone until now.

          Spigen’s official Shopee store doesn’t have it? That’s usually where I get cases for phones that are more than 5 years old.

            That’s where I got my current case back in 2020 but all they have now is just the tempered glass.

    Redid the literacy map with @mr_m00 's recommendations. Personally, I don’t like using gradients for this; there is not much differentiation between the 90s and the 80s except the kind of green. I would still prefer the rainbow scheme more; at least there is so much color differentiation. I would just reverse the palette like so (although I do admit the blue is too dark to show borders):

    (On second thought, the red-blue scheme can be applied here, as this is just percentages)

    Nagbalik ang mga daga after so many years. I’m not a fan of poison because they just end up dying somewhere and stinking up the place. I also don’t like glue bait since I’m not “man” enough to execute them once trapped.

    So, I’m trying a new approach. Just placed an order for an electronic bait after reading up on it and watching videos. Sana effective.
