That seems to be a general trend, the less pressure, the worse the ratios.

- aahortwwy 5y agoI don't have time, but just wanted to comment that I appreciate that you're actually looking into this rather than just handwaving objections away.
- cf141q5325 5y agoGenerally prefer being right over feeling right. Since i am an idiot that includes a lot of searching for overlooked facts and perspectives. Appreciate the heads up.
