and what he was giving her wasn't really a p-value. it was more like the probability that obama will be elected given the present polling data

I was about to ask "Isn't that pretty much the same thing?"

I need to retake probability =[

Jack Daniels is probably my least favorite whiskey/bourbon I've ever tasted. Honestly, that's not hyperbole; i don't think i've ever had a worse bourbon in my life. It honestly shocks me that it's as ubiquitous a liquor as it is.

agree completely

And every good man should learn to love whiskey for the simple reason that it's socially acceptable in every different social drinking situation. You go to a dive bar in a blue collar area of town? Whiskey on the rocks will get you approving nods from every patron who isn't currently dying of black lung or focusing on tying off to share a needle with a local prostitute. You're going down the red carpet at the Oscars? Be prepared to be the classiest motherfucker there, and trying to keep your socks dry from all of that pussy juice. I have yet to think of a single drink that can traverse such vast differences in social expectations and etiquette, and I don't think one exists.

Plus, once you get a taste for it, it's pretty damn good shit.

This generally jibes with my experience, yeah.

It's fortunate that it is such a good liquor because if the social connotations of whiskey were swapped with those of something like Jager or Aftershock I'd just have to deal with being seen as having the pallet of a teeny bopper for the rest of my life because I just can't drink a whole lot of that type of shit unless it's drowned redbull or something equally masking of that foul-ass liquorice flavor.

AD, I need to teach you how to enjoy whiskey because if you enjoy beer and whiskey, you'll never find yourself out of place in any social situation.

I brought a bottle of weird Taiwanese single malt whiskey to Japan -- the first night i could barely gulp down two shots, while Ageless just pounded on that bitch again and again.

the second night i actually liked it a lot. it was weird.

anyway seems like ageless is a whiskey drinker.

Ahh, yes, that stuff was a little on the harsh side but definitely tasty.

Whiskey is indeed my preferred liquor, especially bourbon (JD doesn't count -- I don't really like it).

Eh, different strokes, I guess. I actually like PBR better than a fair number of higher end beers with strong flavor, to be honest.

I'll also generally drink whatever's offered, but I'm definitely more happy to receive even shitty beer than wine or most liquors (although if there're mixers, that can depend). Different strokes, I guess.

Yeah I just don't expect from fast food pizza what I expect from, like, real pizza. Hungry Howies is delicious, idgaf. It's not authentic new york style or anything but I dunno why anyone would use that as their metric for something that costs around a third as much and gets delivered to your house.

The only context I've heard it in is like, the size of someone's clique. Like "don't fuck with that guy he's rolling like 15 deep tonight".

Like you're only interested in that one person, and his depth is how many people are surrounding him.

I haven't done this. I will have to try it next time I'm prepping to go out

I'll agree with you the execution needed work

I actually do mostly agree with Agrul on this. I think what the cops did was outside the bounds of the law and the arrest was clearly unnecessary and rooted mostly in resentment of the suspect for being belligerent and that that's unacceptable even if it's understandable human behavior.

To the extent that I've defended their actions, I'm basically just trying to convey that  I don't think these are cops that need to be put against the wall or anything -- I don't think this video shows them to be corrupt. They did some dumb shit, but in the face of a person with unknown stability holding an assault weapon for no clear reason, knowing that I'm supposed to go up and get in his way, I might do some dumb shit, too, especially when he starts getting agitated. I think the cops deserve to have a finger wagged at them because we have to hold officers to a higher standard than we hold people in general -- ie to the letter of the law and not to some nebulous sense of understandableness -- but that's about it.

didn't synth actually flat out state in a thread like within the last two days that he's just trolling and sometimes gets caught up in arguments over it despite himself? I was fast-reading so maybe I missed that that was supposed to be sarcasm, but it makes the most sense to me.

That's... pretty fucking cool, I have to admit. How do you jump with that thing?

Also do you just wear really slippery socks to run on it or what

Virtuix Omni - Non-game demo 2

rollers on a slope maybe?

Hmm, yeah looks like treadmills in the 8 compass directions. That seems like it might be a little hazardous on the knees or something if you're running on two of them at the same time, but the dudes don't seem to be having trouble with it. Still pretty cool, if not quite as cool as just being able to run in any direction -- I guess they didn't really have a choice but to discretize the directions that way since most games take input that way anyway.

Really shouldn't be a factor at all, seems to me. Chechnya sure doesn't want any credit for it, and these dudes have lived in the states most of their lives.

Seriously. If you get really sick of it make a fucking paper fan and stand in the shade. Boom, problem solved.

Yeah you really can't. The first time I felt desert heat I was all weirded out by how different it felt.

I want to be in socal

or New England. They sometimes bitch about the summer heat up there but are retarded and don't know what heat is. Then again I don't especially want to deal with 4 degrees Fahrenheit in the dead of winter, either. I can definitely handle it being like 20 outside as long as I don't constantly have to be out in it, and would prefer that to it constantly being 90 with 100% humidity outside, though.

You're going to find this unbelievable, but he already did in the last evolution debate thread.

Yeah I was gonna say I feel like he already did that once
