  1. Literally eliminating broken homes. Makes sense.
  2. Do we need more than one such thread when everyone knows and agrees that Simms >>>>> EJ?
  3. I'm guessing that ignorance really is bliss. How is it even a question whether the OP is serious? What reasonable person would cook 'retatta' or "retard fritatta" for their significant other on their birthday???
  4. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/25951-oh-this-is-nicereal-nice/ Scroll down to post #10
  5. It certainly couldn't have been opportunism because, historically, Russia has had NO interest in Crimea or warm water ports in general, for that matter. Its not like they've fought other wars over control of the Crimean peninsula. No, Russian interest in the Ukraine began a few months ago.
  6. But how can a government lower the cost of operating businesses where productive jobs exist? Is it by further burdening themselves with future liabilities which necessitate greater tax collections? Like say guaranteed health insurance coverage and a minimum wage for every citizen regardless of employment status?
  7. Alex brings a lot of other great tangibles to the field. Her presence will be sorely missed. And shes a really good player too.
  8. Shouldn't we factor in that one of those guys happened to win 4 superbowls over that time period? Depending on how finely we want to slice that hair, Flacco and Roethlisberger weren't intended to start and only got the nod due to injury. There's 3 more championships over that span.
  9. But whats the point of him? Why is there an EJ?
  10. We're all idiots. All we can do is try to be less dumb and strive to be the best idiot we can be.
  11. Just a little bit. Also, making fun of myself since originally I misinterpreted your post as an honest question regarding mean vs. median rather than an issue of clarification as to how said difference is even pertinent to the discussion. I trust that you understand basic mathematical and statistical concepts, for the record.
  12. Spare the subtlety and get to the f@$ing point already! Would it kill you to be direct or even blunt occasionally???
  13. Seriously. Whats the point of any of us???
  14. I don't know how you can say that when MacGuffin himself, the godfather of modern statistics, declares unequivocally that median and mean are not the same. Understanding the difference between mean, median, mode, and range is paramount to deeper statistical analysis. I know that you're reluctant to accept my explanation of the differences, subtle as they are, but you should find the links I provided to be both credible and accessible for novices and experts alike. Its not my intention to be rude or difficult, but I cannot in good conscience just agree to disagree on this matter. I don't know what else to say.
  15. I don't know what else to tell you. Did you explore the links I provided? There is an important distinction between mean and median (we'll get to mode later) and I really can't explain it any better than I have. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean You may not agree, but its a basic fact. If they were the same, why would there be two unique wikipedia entries? Can we at least agree on that?
  16. Sometimes? How about always and forever and omnipresent, heretic!
  17. The thing about the mean and median is that they're two different statistical tools and in order to analyze data, understanding the difference is critical. I'm really not sure how else to explain it to you. Here are some links you may find helpful and hopefully will do a better job of explaining mean and median than I have: https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-statistics--st101 http://writing.colostate.edu/guides/guide.cfm?guideid=67 http://www.pixyland.org/peterpan/
  18. You see the mean is the average of all the results, with equal weighting on each data point, while the median is the midpoint of the sample. You could have extremes at either end of the distribution and the midpoint will not change that much, certainly not as much as the mean, generally speaking. I'm not sure how else to explain it, man.
  19. Mean can be skewed heavily by factoring in outliers where as median is far less sensitive to extremes. The Jets D is quality but even the best defense is in trouble when your QBs combine for 6 (or was it 7?) turnovers and your offense can't stay on the field. That said, I have no idea what game splits are going to reveal that will distinguish two lackluster QBs from one another. With 16 games per season, I think adjusting for "garbage time", great performances, and poor performances is a tricky exercise.
  20. 1200 on the old 1600 format isn't impressive.
  21. Is anyone else concerned about whether its permissible for El Pegual to be developing hotels AND having a say in Pearl Morthf@#$ing Harbor Center WHILE owning the Sabres AND allegedly the Bills?
  22. His father in law owns it according to Scopes. The next day he was back begging people to stop calling his place of employment. It was pretty funny.
  23. Scopes owns a van dealership. One day he posted his home phone number here as an open challenge. Taking all comers. I have a link to his wedding registry if you'd like to buy him a set of towels or something.
  24. We don't let just anyone join the discussion here. At TBD you will find the finest minds on the internet discussing not just football, but any number of topics ranging from advanced moat theory, theoretical physics and variations in the gravitational constant, molecular gastronomy and pickle brine, the cure for various lifestyle CHOICES, and gun/dog control. Sharpen your pencil, because you're where the fleamoulds are.
