You guys seem to be at a stalemate on the technical sides of the discussion so insults might help. They've had plenty of intercourse but it's almost as if they are only mildly interested. Chef chose an impossible hand and the only reason it's close is OC's bloviating. Maybe that's the problem--too much talking. Maybe they should switch sides and see who the stronger debater is to determine a winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef chose an impossible hand and the only reason it's close is OC's bloviating. Maybe that's the problem--too much talking. Maybe they should switch sides and see who the stronger debater is to determine a winner? I'm in a tough spot as I see it: what if the IT guy doesn't win the IT discussion? Even if I win, that's like "beating a girl". Hence, the ryhmes. What Chef is doing, badly: a rope a dope. Too bad for Chef: I know that's what he's doing. That's why he picked the side he did. Chef is smart. However, I used that to my advantage, and denied it to him. That's why I made such a big deal about who was taking what side, and what that meant. I am smarter. That, and the only way to do it is to explain it fully, otherwise, it's "yeah but you said this before, and now you're saying this, but, this detail over here(that I left out for you precious brevity), says that, and that's not what you said..." the whole time. It's like dealing with conner. If you don't put every single thing into the first post you write, you spend the rest of the thread wih the "yeah buts". "Yeah but" infestation in a thread is annoying. I don't feel like insulting Chef, because frankly? He doesn't deserve it. If I lose because of it? So be it. There are many clowns past and current, who deserve what they get from me normally. Chef isn't one of them. My level of invective is directly proportional to what I have received, per poster.

4merper4mer Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Wow the Obamacare thread is getting interesting; unlike the absentee thread starring TGreg99. Anyway, OC in Buffalo has made some fine technical points and I respect his decision to not do too much insulting. It is still bad strategy but I respect it. I thought he was beginning pwnage but now Chef Jim has pointed out that Stanford engineers and Google dudes are getting involved and that this is a big secret. That is impressive. I am really wrestling with this one and how to decide it and trying to think of some unconventional ways. I did not envision such a technical topic and did not prepare my judging skills. I may have to come up with something unique. Edited November 19, 2013 by 4merper4mer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

....lybob Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 That is a reasonable assumption but actually reading before judging is optional at the discretion of the judge. Me. Chef Jim wins because OC is always wrong when he makes a prediction, is that because OC has a piss poor grasp on reality? is it because his biases makes him ignore reality? or is it a jealous god who uses his multitude of angels to shuffle the universe until OC's prediction is wrong? we may never know but we know OC's predictions are always wrong.

4merper4mer Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Chef Jim is making up ground, but I still think OC in Buffalo is slightly ahead. He does lose out on comparing Google to something called St. Gobain. Nobody has ever heard of that. Plus who cannonaded a crappy musician who OD'ed in the first place? I am still looking for a good way to judge this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 2. You still don't know why I posted that? Man. Well? More confirmation of the theory. Boy, outside of history and physics(and that it's those 2 things confirms it again), you really are playing checkers, aren't you? Maybe a hint helps: You think the game is being played in one thread. Wrong. And, look at the responses. As designed, not that I expect you to get it, there, Mr. Double Jump. When OC posts, is "not reading" truly an option? You are the best qualified person to answer that question, since you read every single thing I write looking for ways to "bust" me. So...why don't you tell us. If OC predicts he's wrong, does the universe collapse on itself? Perhaps, but, if I write 3 things, and all 3 of them have little to do with what I'm really trying to accomplish? The empirical, not theoretical, evidence shows: that makes you divide by 0. So tell me, how is that division coming? Think you're close to an answer? EDIT: Oh, and you know? I would love to see ...lybob try to bill anyone for 1 day of his work. That meeting would be hilarious.

Anyway, I think I have found an original way to decide this: If the argument is not over by December 1, I will not judge this nor will I take it to GvG. I will wait until December 1 and if the Obamacare site is fixed Chef Jim wins, if not, OC in Buffalo wins. I would like to see them continue their conversation in case a knockout punch insult can be thrown or something surprising influences me.
