So, recently I have come across some old Star Wars 3.75 inch action figures that I was given as a child, and it's extremely painful seeing them without heads, hands, arms, various accessories, etc. I sincerely doubt Hasbro is going to replace these parts, especially the niche ones, so I am wondering if anyone can point me to somewhere that I can purchase or find replacement parts for the following items:

1. Court and Equipment: Double pickleball is played on a court that is similar in size to a badminton court, measuring 20 feet wide and 44 feet long. The court is divided by a net that stands 36 inches high at the center and 34 inches high at the sidelines. Each player uses a solid paddle made of composite or other approved materials, and the game is played with a perforated plastic ball.
2. Serving: The serving team begins the game, and each player on the team gets a chance to serve before the serve is switched to the opposing team. The serve must be made underhand, with the paddle contacting the ball below the waist level. The server must stand behind the baseline and serve diagonally into the opponent's service court, ensuring the ball clears the net and lands within the boundaries of the service court. The team that starts the game will only get 1 serve and start with the score 0-0-2
3. Scoring: In double pickleball, only the serving team has the opportunity to score points. If the serving team successfully wins a rally, they earn a point and continue serving. However, if the receiving team wins a rally, they gain the serve but do not score a point. The serving team can only score points while they have the serve.To announce the score, you typically state the serving team's score first, followed by the receiving team's score, and finally, the server's number.
4. The server's number refers to their position in the serving rotation. For example, if the serving team's score is 3, the receiving team's score is 2, and the server is the first player in the rotation, the score would be announced as "3-2-1" or "3 serving 2-1." This indicates that the serving team has three points, the receiving team has two points, and it's the first player's turn to serve.
5. Remember that the score is announced before the serve, and the server's number is mentioned to keep track of the rotation and ensure fairness in serving opportunities. A point is awarded if the opponent fails to return the ball successfully, commits a fault, or hits the ball out of bounds. The first team to reach 11 points, with a lead of at least two points, wins the game. Typically, matches are best-of-three games.
6. Double Bounce Rule: After the serve, each team must allow the ball to bounce once on their side of the net before hitting it. Similarly, the receiving team must let the serve bounce before returning it. After the two bounces, the ball can be played in the air or allowed to bounce between hits.
7. Non-Volley Zone (Kitchen): A seven-foot non-volley zone, also known as the kitchen, extends from the net into the court. Players are not allowed to hit the ball directly from within this zone unless the ball has bounced there first. However, players can enter the non-volley zone after hitting the ball elsewhere on the court.
8. Faults: Several faults can result in the loss of a point or the loss of the serve. These include hitting the ball out of bounds, failing to clear the net on a serve, stepping into the non-volley zone while hitting a volley, volleying the ball before it has bounced, or hitting the ball before it has crossed the net.

Ffs.
Well this wasn’t part of the plan was it? In an alternate universe somewhere Bielsa has lead us to our 4th successive season in the Premier league and everything is fine in the world of Leeds United. Sadly my FIFA23 play through doesn’t translate to reality.
Initial thoughts Disasters do not just happen, they are a sequence of events that lead to catastrophe or in this case, relegation. Where is the starting point? The first domino? The first moment of negligence?
There’s a few points most of us will point too. Was it the sacking of Bielsa and the subsequent appointment of Marsch? The selling of Kalvin and Raphinia during last summer’s transfer window and not strengthening our squad? Or do we go as far back and the appointment of Orta as Sporting Director (that last one is a joke). It’s an almost impossible to say but what I do know is that the blame lands at the feet of the board.

• Not addressing the LB & ST issue before the start of the season
• Marsch not being sacked before the WC
• The board buying into the fizzy pop style of football
• Beating Liverpool and Bournemouth subsequently bought Marsch more time.
• The timing of Marsch’s sacking
• Whatever the fuck happened at HT during the Crystal Palace game
• Tyler Adams getting injured
• The Bamford miss
• The complete fuck up of Jean Kevin’s court case
• The defence
• Lack of leadership
• Sini being injured majority of the season
• Bamford being injured majority of the season
• Wober being sold to us as LB, turns out he’s another CB
• Project USMNT apart from Tyler Adams
• The sale of Klich and how his departure was handled
• Dallas and Forshaw being out for 100% and 90% of the season
• A lack of communication with the fans and poor tone and lack of awareness. Eg the AI generated club statement which no one signed, Season tickets & a link to the club shop on the relegation FT insta post.

That’s just off the top of my head. It’s like making a cocktail out of all the liquids you have in the house. It’s a drink, but it’s a bloody awful one that will leave you feeling sick.
Positives and where to find them
To start with this isn’t 03/04. I was a mere 10 year old boy and I’d just seen us at ER draw 3-3 with Charlton and a subsequent pitch invasion to console our beloved players off the field. This time the pitch invasion consisted of one fan and not a whole lot of sympathy. However this relegation does not seem like financial oblivion like 03/04 did, parachute payments and the ability to hold onto key assets will hopefully yield a base to build.
Resetting, it’s something that we have done about 3 times in the last season an a half. To me It was the equivalent of blowing the cassette of an N64 to make the game work. It might work but it’s bad for the console. This time it’s a hard reset a full switch off at the wall and wait 30 seconds. No Director of Football, No manager at present, new owners (potentially) and a fresh squad.
Squad hopefully a lot of the youth will return Cody possibly not but there’s a chance, but the return of Cresswell and Joffy is a welcome one and with a season of competitive championship football under their belts that is a huge positive. Speaking of youth Rutter could thrive in the Champ given the opportunity. The return of Forshaw and Dallas experienced heads who love the club and an ability to lead. Ayling and Cooper can get thrown into that category even after a long suffering season it’s two senior players that have been at the core of the club.
The Premier League is shit anyways…
You’re up there for the prestige, pride & money (that fans do not see) and that’s all you’re in for. Unless you have billionaires backing you or become Sportswash FC to become more than just a number in that league. The premier league anthem, why? Why is it a thing? It always played over Marching On Together, complete corporate nonsense. VAR well it’s a universally accepted opinion that it’s shite. Accepting that you’re going to get dicked by Man City et al every season, the 2-1 win was incredible and was something that we should always remember that Bielsa gave us but the other matches may as well have forfeited. AWAY FAN CAPACITY WTF all these state of the art stadiums with huge capacity and yet there’s away fan caps, mental. Just the sedated franchise nature of the Premier League just isn’t appealing.
What happens next?
The aforementioned reset needs to happen. A new DoF (is not a nutter and has or ego). A new manager with experience NOT BIG SAM. Someone like Benitez or Rodgers a return of Corberan would be welcomed. Return of the youth let’s be honest without the youth I might have been posting this last year, yes Joffy I’m looking at you. An urgency to bounce back as shit as the premier league and its stale atmosphere makes it duller than a room fully painted in magnolia we make it fun just being in there pissing people off Leeds away support is phenomenal. Ultimately you want your club to do well and be a source of pride and to achieve great things. Let’s not make it 16 years again eh?

So I found my birth family, and I am absolutely in love with them, and have a drive to want to be with them. But I am very "different".. pick a label.. goth, weirdo, non-binary, shaved head, gay.. and very much like the "upscale" parts of town. Having lived poor most of my life, my entire drive was always to move UP.. never down. I currently live in Folsom, CA (give a look on google maps) If I move I want to rent a nice house 3br 2 ba (mine, office, and guests) with garage, in unit washer dryer, fridge with ice a must and ac) MUST be pet friendly (ideally not have to hide anyone.. i have 4 cats that have never destroyed anything but a lap in their fuzzy lives) But I also love the amenities Folsom has.. ALL the instacarts I could want, a Trader Joes, a Sprouts.. costco, sams, target, walmart, total wine, restaurant supply. I also love Karaoke and gay nightlife acivites (gods i sound soo snobby, but damnit i had nothing all my life till now and I really like feeling this spoiled). My job is fully remote and will let me move out of state and Work from home, so i also need rock solid high speed internet and stable cell reception for on call duties...
Can I get what I want here and be safe, I hear so many horror stories plus all the stereotypes of the bible belt... I think I heard you guys talk about Norman... and I was looking at distances, to be able to visit my sis and OM and everyone in bethany, the TJ is in Nichols Hills (i can live without but it would be nice as i love some of their stuff) I hope I don't sound stuck up, and you undersrtood my short story!
Thank you very much to anyone who answers!

This is the third track from Animal Collective's third EP '' Fall Be Kind ''. What are your thoughts regarding this song? How do you think it compares to the rest of the discography? How would you rate it out of 10?(decimals allowed)
SUGGESTED SCALE:1-4: Not good. Regularly skip.5: It’s okay, but I might have to be in the right mood to listen to it.6: Slightly better than average. I won’t skip it, but I wouldn’t choose to put it on.7: This is a good song. I enjoy it quite a bit.8-9: Really enjoyable songs. I rank them pretty high overall.10: Masterpiece, magnum opus, or similar terminology.
Sorry guys for not making it so daily anymore, doing IB right now and school just always gets in the way.

I was just wondering if there is even a slight chance my pubertal gyno could still fade? I developed gyno around 15, which was strange as I was a very late bloomer and didn't really many any other signs of puberty at that age. I am now 18, and my gyno is near enough the same. I do not feel any "solid lumps" behind my nipple but I do feel some texture. I have recently noticed that when squeezing my nipples they feel very slightly tender, which I have never noticed before, even when the gyno first started.
I had my bloodwork done for the first time very recently, and my prolactin came back quite high (25.3 ng/ML), I have since started taking p5p to hope to lower this, however I have a followup appointment with my doctor in 3 weeks to take another blood test to see if the levels are still elevated or if the first test was just a fluke of some sort (I do not believe it is, as I have many symptoms of constant high prolactin)
Anyway, I just wanted to know if there is any hope for me that this could fade away naturally. I likely haven't finished puberty yet. My gyno is I believe type 1, I just have puffy nipples. I'd guess I have around 15-20% body fat, this has been much lower only making the gyno more prominent. Everything I see online says it'll usually disappear within 1-2 years, I have obviously passed that so I am kinda giving up hope. I have been reluctant to try raloxifene because I've seen a few people mentioning it can reduce testosterone or stunt growth, I am not ready to stunt my growth yet as I should still have a couple inches left to grow. Not sure if it is worth noting, but I am on the fairly low end of the healthy range of Oestradiol ( 80 pmol/L)
Any insight would be appreciated.

I have been doing injections for the past 1.5 months weekly. I pinch the skin 2 inches to the sides of my belly button and inject into it.
Yesterday when I was done, I bled more then usual. I cleaned it up and 10 minutes later went about my day.
Today in the shower I noticed if I touch that area it's sore. If I feel around it, it feels like theres a lump under my skin.
There's no redness though. Just this lump and pain if I touch.
I'm wondering:

1. do I need to see a doctor
   
2. does this mean my injection wont be effective :(
   
3. how can I get better at this so it doesn't happen?
   

im pretty skinny too and its hard to find fat to inject into which is why I have to pinch my skin together to begin with :/

It was at midnight exactly when everyone who was awake promptly passed out.
It wasn't an instant 'fall to the ground like a corpse' mass unconsciousness. It was just this sudden and intense state of exhaustion that made it impossible to stay awake.
Ours was a mining town, averaging around 70,000 population, and recently being hit by recession that made finding work a pain in the ass. And with the mine running dry, it was all we could do to keep afloat.
I was out for a stroll when the exhaustion hit, I was crossing the street when this oppressively heavy state of exhaustion just hit me. I panicked, of course, thinking that I was having a stroke or something, desperately trying to get to the other side of the crosswalk.
Then darkness.
It was the sunlight that woke me up, I squinted in the hellishly bright light and fumbled around for my sunglasses. Why I kept sunglasses on my person in the dead of night was because I was that kind of asshole who wanted to look cool. My mileage definitely varied on that front, but it was at least an attempt.
Still, when I managed to find them, confused as to why I was on hot asphalt, I put them on, only for them to immediately fall off. I was forced to open my eyes, and that's when I saw my hands.
At first, I thought it was the mother of all sunburns, being so bright red, but when the sound came out of my mouth, I knew something had gone terribly wrong. First and foremost, I was covered in bright red scales, I had these short, sharp claws at the end of my hands, on top of which my feet were utterly fucked up, and I had a tail.
I scrambled for my phone, wondering if it would even register my touch, Thankfully, it did.
You know those memes where someone takes a picture of an animal, and it looks really fucking funny? Guess whose first picture was like that. I turned on the camera, flipped the camera so I could see myself on the screen, and accidentally took a picture as my new snout filled the screen.
I tried to get up, but I realized that my clothes were too big, and that I had gone from a solid 6 feet and dropped to a measly three. Bear in mind, the average height of a person with dwarfism is a solid four, and I know this because I did an entire project on it in ninth grade.
I had no idea what the hell I was, if I was the only person like this, and I was forced to use my XL shirt to cover my otherwise naked body, tearing the shit out of it with my new feet claws, and being faced with the reality that being a three-foot lizard meant I had to crawl through my dog door.
Thankfully, Brutus didn't even seem phased, he just walked up to me, tail wagging, and very much wanting to be pet, which I did, very carefully. I needed something pure and wholesome in the world to keep me from going insane.
That was around six AM.
Now, googling 'Help, I've turned into a three foot lizard' didn't help at all, and I sure as shit didn't want to walk all of the way to my parent's house and potentially freak them out, but I did have my brother.
James is a furry, I'll just say it flat out. Like, an absolute turbo furry. It had taken me time to get used to the idea that he liked furry characters, and I knew a lot of the art he liked dealt with this kind of situation.
I was desperate, and I needed someone on my side. When I called him, it rang and then went to voicemail, and I proceeded to continuously call him, because he will eventually wake up. I got ready to call him again when a notification came up saying he wanted to FaceTime.
I braced myself for his inevitable squeeing when he saw I'd been transformed into a tiny little lizard.
I didn't expect him to be one as well.
Of course, he was the one who was fucking ecstatic, and it took me a lot of attempts to get him to listen to me, which he eventually did.
"Bro." I said, the words slipping out of my mouth weird. I had to carefully enunciate, moving a tongue that was completely alien to me inside of a mouth that didn't work the way I was used to. "What the thuck ith going on?" I asked. "Do you haff any idea what ith going on."
It was painful, really. Of course my brother spoke fluently. It didn't occur to me until he was halfway through his diatribe about TF triggers that I said, "Hey, wait, you're speaking another language." I paused. "I'm speaking another language!"
Like, it all translated into English for me, but we were very much speaking a language that was full of sibilants and yips, yaps, and naks.
"Oh, yeah. That's Yipyak." He said.
"What the fuck is a Yipyak, and if this is some sort of deez nuts joke, I'm going over there and clawing you."
So he explained that we were both Kobolds, creatures from Dungeons and Dragons, and our native language was Draconic, more specifically a pidgin language known as Yipyak.
"Alright, scholar of the Kobolds, what do we do about this situation, because people are going to freak out."
"Brother." He said. "There's no way in hell it's just us."
Part of me knew he was right, but I absolutely did not want to believe it.
Naturally, people gathered around the Town Hall.
The screaming started around eight AM, as people woke up to find themselves turned into Kobolds. Some of them were screaming in joy, others were as horrified as I was, but that wasn't the worst part.
Only half of us were Kobolds.
Mom and Dad picked us up, because they could reach the pedals. They were, of course, very concerned, but they helped us out because they loved us.
Most of the people who arrived who had been turned into Kobolds had to make due with shirts hiked up to their waists and tied off with a belt, the rest just stood around. Naked. There was one weirdo who just made a loincloth and was looking very proud of himself.
Weirdly enough, I actually kind of wanted one.
So, there we were, engaging in what was effectively a cultural exchange between the nerds and furries and the rest of us normal folk. Really, the only explanation as to how and why this happened was. "Fucked if we know, but it has knock-on implications for the rest of the universe."
The Humans- wow, that was a thought I just had, and not one I could just not have- The Humans were of course upset that this had happened and that our entire town was facing a crisis that we didn't know how to deal with.
But the furries had hypotheses.
First, the facts as we knew them. Exactly half of our population had been transformed. The only people who transformed were the D&D nerds and the furries, with the rest being directly related. The transformation only seemed to only effect family members in the same generation, which is why a husband and wife were Kobolds, but their kids weren't. Finally, there was nothing like this happening anywhere else in the world.
Therefore, the hypotheses were thus:
A. Some sort of wild magic surge triggered the transformation. And yes, magic was real because some of us could use it. Me included.
B. The D&D universe actually existed and was bleeding into reality. This excited the D&D players, because it meant they could go on an adventure.
C. There was a Dragon somewhere, maybe in the mine, and it wanted minions. Nobody liked this idea. Well, nobody said they liked it. I felt weirdly okay with it.
D. This was just Some Weird Shit, so let's just move on.
Naturally, someone leaked what happened, the government came, and, well, that's when we discovered that anyone entering the town limits had a roughly 50/50 chance of getting instantly turned into a Kobold. We also determined we could leave, but the way was blockaded because nobody wanted this to spread.
To the government's credit, they didn't take away our civil liberties to dissect us, they just showed up, brought scientists, and started trying to figure out what was going on.
The rest of us just had to adjust.
We couldn't really live in our own houses anymore, I mean, they're not even built for people with Dwarfism, it was even worse for us because we couldn't even reach the counter. So we just did the best we could. Some carpenters got together and started building houses that were proportional to our size. Kitchen appliances weren't going to be of any real help, so we just had to make due with houses that didn't have any electricity, but at least worked well with space heaters.
One of the best things about these houses was that they were quick to make and were easy to navigate. Some of the people built medieval-style housing, which I found myself increasingly attracted to as a place to live. Some of the D&D players were part of something called the Society of Creative Anachronism, and they hand made a lot of clothes that, for whatever reason, my stupid little Kobold brain liked, so here I was in a thatch-roofed house proportional to my size in medieval clothing that I could not fathom why I liked it.
In fact, I'm beginning to hate who I used to be.
The first sign that I was experiencing a dislike of my Human body was when I saw a picture of me and just got angry. Like, I smashed the frame against the floor and tore the thing to shreds before I got a hold of myself.
I catch myself only talking in Yipyak, and being annoyed when I have to switch to English. Not to mention, I've begun practicing magic. I can't explain how it works, I just know it works, it's helped me keep the place clean.
I know how to cast six of these spells, though, two of them exhaust me. The D&D nerds identified them as 'Prestidigitation, Mage Hand, Mending, Firebolt, Detect Magic, and Magic Missile.' Basically, the power do to a lot or really minor effects, the ability to create a magic hand that does whatever I want it to, the ability to fix some things, and the ability to throw fire at something- all at will. As well as the ability to see magic and the ability to throw magic at something that will always hit.
A lot of utility.
So with Detect Magic, I was able to determine that the town was surrounded in a cylindrical magic field, I actually took the time to help mark the border so people wouldn't accidentally become a Kobold. Other things I was able to figure out was that it was a '9th level' spell with Transmutation.
"Oh, that's Mass Polymorph! But that spell only effects ten creatures."
"Well, whatever it is, it's made a hell of a mess of things." I said.
Well, something came out of the mine earlier today, it was a giant fucking rat, and I used Magic Missile to kill it. I was halfway through skinning it when I realized I was skinning it, and that I had never skinned an animal before. I kept at it, and brought it to the warren.
The warren?
Yeah, that word fits.
I have these weird moments of self-awareness where I suddenly remember what life used to be like, and how much I had changed. How much the others changed. Some of them had changed their names , and I realized with a start that I didn't want my name anymore.
But there's another one that's just on the tip of my tongue.
Ruuk.
A Kobold came up to me, wanting some help with something. He said my old name and all I could say in response was, "My name is Ruuk."
He didn't even question it, and immediately started using it. I helped out with what he needed- he'd broken his hoe and needed it fixed, which I obliged.
It struck me, as we hit our first year of this, that I didn't want to go back to being a Human.

Hi I have applied for dsa and they have approved a laptop and noise cancelling headphones however they have only advised whk laptop and noise cancelling headphones nothing else.
I am still waiting on my letter. Google has no idea what whk means. When I was in my interview she said they are a decent laptop worth £600-700 i7 8gb 15 inch laptop which means absolutely nothing to me. But searching dsa laptop google says i5 so god knows.
I am looking at getting a 2 in 1 as I like to make written notes and also I wouldn't mind being able to start digital art aswell. I'm not into gaming 100% potentially something that can run sims without a hitch every now and again.
Any help is appreciated.

End of game

In July 2021, YouGov asked 3000 U.S. adult citizens to share their favorability on all 45 presidents. You can see the results here. They paint an interesting picture of how Americans perceive their presidents.
Now, what if we used those results to estimate how controversial each president is? I thought that would be a fun experiment, so I took some time to devise a formula that could give some kind of "controversy score" using the approval and disapproval ratings of a given subject.
The first task to define what "controversy" means and what a "controversy score" should represent. A common misconception is that "controversy" is more or less synonymous with "unpopularity", which is not true. Rather, "controversy" is the level of division around a subject; in more mathematical terms, the lack of difference between the approval and disapproval of that subject. In presidential terms, a president with 50% approval and 50% disapproval is a controversial president. A president with 100% disapproval is not, because everyone is in agreement about their negative opinion of him.
Though this is probably the initial approach for many, measuring controversy is unfortunately not as simple as measuring the difference between approval and disapproval. At first glance, this may seem like a good idea, with a 50-50 president (the most controversial) having a difference of 0 (the minimum possible output), and a 100-0 or 0-100 president (the least controversial) having a difference of 100 (the maximum possible output), and everyone else being somewhere in between. It would then be intuitive to rank the presidents by controversy score on a spectrum of 0 (most controversial) to 100 (least controversial).
But this only works when there are only approval and disapproval choices, which is not the case in our poll. The poll has six choices: "very favorable", "somewhat favorable", "somewhat unfavorable", "very unfavorable", "don't know", and "have not heard of them". Even if we combine the first two into "approve", and the next two into "disapprove", we are still left with two troublesome variables that substantially disrupt our math. If we stick to the plan of simply measuring the difference between approval and disapproval, and ignoring the other variables, we will find that a president who has 50% approval, 50% disapproval, and 0% "don't know" is just as controversial as a president who has 0% approval, 0% disapproval, and 100% "don't know", with both having differences of 0. This is obviously nonsense, so our formula needs to be adjusted.
It took some messing around and a good deal of research to find a formula that accounts for this. I ran into a lot of complicated statistical examples and explanations online, most of which went over my head. The simplest example I could find was C = (A*D)/A-D, where A is approval, D is disapproval, C is controversy score, 0 ≤ A ≤ 100, 0 ≤ D ≤ 100, and A + D ≤ 100. This seemed mostly alright, disregarding the risk of dividing by 0 if A and D were equal, which could be resolved with a slight adjustment to C = (A*D)/(A-D+1). This was a much better formula than the initial C = A-D.
From here, it was just a matter of controlling the range of outputs. C = (A*D)/(A-D+1) resulted in 0 ≤ C ≤ 2500, which was a bit too high of a range. I found by applying the results of that poll to this formula that the numbers got much more spread out as they got bigger, so I put the formula into a square root to curb this effect somewhat. C = sqrt((A*D)/(A-D+1)) returned 0 ≤ C ≤ 50, which was much better. To reduce the range to 0 ≤ C ≤ 10, I considered simply dividing the output by 5, but this resulted in C < 5 for all but 2 presidents. With some more tinkering, I found C = sqrt((0.4*A*D)/(A-D+10)), which also returns 0 ≤ C ≤ 10, to be more satisfactory.
To calculate the controversy score for these presidents, I put all their approval and disapproval ratings into a file called scores.txt, with each line having the format "N:A/D" where N is name, A is approval, D is disapproval, 0 ≤ A ≤ 100, 0 ≤ D ≤ 100, and A + D ≤ 100:

Washington:70/10 Adams:46/11 Jefferson:62/15 Madison:39/9 Monroe:29/12 JQA:44/9 Jackson:34/29 MVB:15/14 WHH:18/14 Tyler:14/14 Polk:16/17 Taylor:16/13 Fillmore:11/14 Pierce:15/15 Buchanan:15/21 Lincoln:80/9 Johnson:24/25 Grant:44/15 Hayes:18/15 Garfield:20/14 Arthur:13/13 Cleveland:21/18 Harrison:16/14 McKinley:18/15 TR:62/12 Taft:21/19 Wilson:32/25 Harding:15/23 Coolidge:24/19 Hoover:26/31 FDR:58/17 Truman:51/14 Eisenhower:58/11 JFK:73/14 LBJ:37/35 Nixon:27/57 Ford:41/30 Carter:45/32 Reagan:54/31 Bush Sr.:44/44 Clinton:45/42 Bush Jr.:43/43 Obama:54/41 Trump:39/54 Biden:47/44 

I then wrote a short C++ program that could read this file and output the controversy scores, in descending order, into a new file called results.txt:

#include  #include  #include  #include  #include  //written by u/xSiberianKhatru2 //rows in scores.txt must be in format "N:A/D", where N is name, A is approval, D is disapproval int main() { std::fstream f; std::vector> v; std::string s; f.open("scores.txt"); while(getline(f, s)){ std::pair p; p.first = s.substr(0, s.find(':')); double a = stof(s.substr(s.find(':') + 1, s.find('/'))); double d = stof(s.substr(s.find('/') + 1)); p.second = sqrt(0.4*a*d/(abs(a - d) + 10)); //will be between 0 and 10 v.push_back(p); } f.close(); //bubble sort *trollface* for(int i = 0; i < v.size() - 1; i++){ for(int j = 0; j < v.size() - i - 1; j++){ if(v[j].second < v[j + 1].second) swap(v[j], v[j + 1]); } } f.open("results.txt", std::fstream::out); for(int i = 0; i < v.size(); i++) f << i + 1 << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2) << ". " << v[i].first << " - " << v[i].second << std::endl; f.close(); return 0; } 

And this gave me the following ranking of controversy scores:

1. Bush Sr. - 8.80 2. Bush Jr. - 8.60 3. Biden - 7.98 4. Clinton - 7.63 5. LBJ - 6.57 6. Obama - 6.21 7. Trump - 5.80 8. Jackson - 5.13 9. Carter - 5.00 10. Ford - 4.84 11. Johnson - 4.67 12. Hoover - 4.64 13. Reagan - 4.50 14. Wilson - 4.34 15. Nixon - 3.92 16. Taft - 3.65 17. Coolidge - 3.49 18. Cleveland - 3.41 19. Polk - 3.14 20. Pierce - 3.00 21. Hayes - 2.88 22. McKinley - 2.88 23. Buchanan - 2.81 24. Tyler - 2.80 25. FDR - 2.78 26. Harding - 2.77 27. MVB - 2.76 28. Harrison - 2.73 29. WHH - 2.68 30. Garfield - 2.65 31. Grant - 2.60 32. Arthur - 2.60 33. Jefferson - 2.55 34. Taylor - 2.53 35. Truman - 2.47 36. JFK - 2.43 37. Monroe - 2.27 38. TR - 2.23 39. Fillmore - 2.18 40. Adams - 2.12 41. Eisenhower - 2.12 42. Washington - 2.00 43. Lincoln - 1.89 44. JQA - 1.88 45. Madison - 1.87 

This is a very interesting output, and I think there's a lot to be observed from it. The modern presidents are mostly at the top, the unknown ones are mostly in the middle, and the uniformly popular ones are mostly at the bottom, which seems about right. Most of the presidents are still C < 5; this makes sense, as most of the presidents had high "don't know" responses in the poll. Washington and Lincoln, the popular presidential giants, are comfortably near the bottom.
There are also a few problems. Few would agree that Bush Sr. is the most controversial president. This is because we don't just define controversy in terms of approval and disapproval; we put a lot of weight into how much a president gets discussed when deciding if he's controversial, something neither the poll nor our formula takes into account. The number of people who have heard of Bush Sr., and who have concrete opinions of him, is not terribly far from those who have heard of and have concrete opinions of Trump and Biden. But these opinions are generally quiet, and rarely the topic of heated arguments, something our formula doesn't take into account.
Despite these shortcomings, I think this was a fairly good effort at finding a measurable way to determine how controversial our presidents are. Of course, this formula can be applied to a lot more than just presidents, but I've left it at that for now.
