Headlight use falls under traffic laws. That's not a precedent for anything.

Aww. I love you. Have a star!

I agree with you on the "up or out"conveyor belt. Some people are not interchangeable (which is the inherent assumption in the 3 year cycle), especially when you need individuals with wide experience in leadership, project management with enough technical know-how to know that Lockheed isn't trying to bullshit them…

The DoD unlike the other departments does not operate like any animal in the commercial sector.

That...actually sounds like decent qualifications. He's got familiarity with auditing, and auditing one organization isn't all that different from auditing another. Accounting is accounting...in principle. The details are handled by the minions.

Nope. They've been planning on buying 346 since at least December 2013.

The Air Force also claims that it's buying 346 drones instead of the 401 that the inspector general says it's buying.

You're awfully pretentious for an accountant. You people are usually cool.

Mmmm...gaming mustard aghghghgh

$10,001, Bob.

I don't explain statistical models to my dog because he doesn't understand the idea of population models. You don't seem to either so why would I waste more of my time?

That's a dick response to a fairly even-handed explanation. Stop being a dick.

Translation: Rarghh! MATH HARD! ME NO UNDERSTAND! MAKE ANGRY!

Please stop using BMI incorrectly. BMI is a model used to measure obesity rates in large populations. Not your individual health. Because it's a population model, it makes assumptions which individually look bizarre, but even out over a population. For example, someone who is 4'8" and 110 is pretty damn stocky. That…

Yeah...before you starting talking about the 'problems of medical analysis' and "ignorant populations" you need to grasp statistics, or even the idea that when people are talking about generalities it doesn't mean they're talking specifically about you. In fact, that's the opposite. When people say "America is too…

If some girl has big thighs and skinny arms, that's just how her body deposits fat. That's genetics. Diet has nothing to do with it...other than eating too many calories results in the fat being somewhere on their bodies in the first place.

Income, obesity and premature death are all correlated in America. If you're poor, you're more likely to be fat AND die young. It the main reason why obesity is also correlated with race (blacks are heavier than whites).

You don't get it either. It's probably a generational thing, based on a collective culture that's grown up with these symbols and meanings, so no one really articulates it.

Yeah, you can't blow those off entirely. However, so long as I had emailed the prof before class they pretty much had to give me an exception.

GTX970 is a fair bit cheaper for almost the performance of the GTX980.
