Just posted a comment regarding the data, which comes from the UNEP Food Waste Index Report, we simply visualised it in a map.

With regards to infrastructure, the report does mention that the authors encountered a lot more hostility and resistance when attempting to conduct waste audits of food service and retail companies. Considering that food waste is a commercially sensitive topic (and these companies looooove money) it makes sense that they don't want to give accurate numbers. Your suggestion is plausible but we probably won't know for sure unless these food service companies give us accurate numbers.

Plus, the report also suggests that there is such a wide scope for the definition of "food service establishments" - imagine the difference in wastage between sports stadia (beers being thrown after a goal is scored) and a hot dog stand down the road!

In this report, food waste is defined as "both the edible and inedible (bones, rind, pits/stones) substances that are used in the manufacture, preparation, or treatment of food".

One significant limitation mentioned in the report is that not every country has high-quality data on food wastage, especially those in lower-income countries. Some of these numbers could therefore be quite different from actual food waste numbers. However, the main aim of the report was to shed light on food waste as a whole, to hopefully provide a framework for countries with lower-quality data to adopt in order to track food waste more accurately in the future.

Sorry, this chart is graphically cool but it really bugs me. Success in football is measured easily by wins and championships. This chart should factor in total wins, win percentage, and/or conference championships. The AP poll is an opinion ranking that contains biases that have frustrated people for decades. Weighting the playoffs more will result in recency bias. That’s reflected in the Michigan position on the chart, when they have the most historical wins. It ignores the whole BCS era where undefeated teams like TCU, Utah and Boise State where punished in the polls for not playing in the auto-bid BCS conferences. It ignores schools that won multiple championships in the FCS before jumping up divisions like App State, Georgia Southern, Marshall, JMU. UCF’s undefeated 13-0 season resulted in 2 pts in this chart. That’s kind of bs. Unlike what the title of the chart says, it doesn’t show the success of the teams and rank them accordingly.

Did you make this graphic? I'd be interested to see some of the assumptions you've made to get at those statements. Does your claim that the 'developing / developed nations' waste the same account for the fact that much of the food wasted in the global South occurs due to a lack of infrastructure rather than poor purchase planning (I would argue that is food lost rather than wasted).

Are you talking about Solo the character or Solo the movie because those are two different things.

Solo the character spans from mid episode 3 to basically episode 7 (and 9 if you count ghosts I guess) but the movie is a small segment after 3 and before 4.

Obi Wan storywise takes place only post episode 3 pre episode 4 although there are flashbacks to moments between episode 2 and 3 (the training scene).

There is no Obi Wan youth movie but there are youth books covering his time period from trainee just becoming Qui Gon’s apprentice to episode 1 although this might be considered legends now. Also, going into that territory is another can of worms since there are alot of Star Wars books (there is also one covering Anakin’s early years between episode 1 and 2 for example).

Yeah, I agree with you on all that Solo really is like throwing a wrench in the whole thing. I have it stretched out that long because he reappears with Rey and Kylo

I was really trying to find out where to put Obi Wan for a starting point. The issue with him in the movies and shows is that they shown him at 20-30 years old let's say and then 60-70 years old.. there’s no youth story to obi.

We all know Yoda is like 1000 years old lol and other characters youth, but we don’t really know Obi-Wans starting point or youth

Yes until episode 3. Episode 3 is a pretty big milestone where things occur before or after it and not really concurrent.

Obi wan is distinctly after episode 3, as is Rogue one and solo (actually Rogue One should be after Obi Wan imo since the death star plans is probably a bit after Obi Wans adventure and Rogue one ends directly where episode 4 begins).

Solo also definitely ends before episode 4 begins (honestly maybe even before Rogue one) since the movie ends with young Solo. It was also supposed to be the lead up to the rugged Solo we meet before episode 4 begins.

I hate to be the one to break it to you but he is/was making it up as he goes along, as is everyone else involved. Any attempt at a timeline is going to be messy, contradictory and with errors because they exist in the stories themselves.

This is the way.
