The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

All I know is that we have to do something about all these accidents happening in the last car of the train. That's why we're removing the last car on all trains from this point forward!

One of my "favorite" examples of how people think about numbers, rules, decisions, etc... is when a state decides to put in a uniform grading scale, or change it. And so South Carolina switched from 93-85-77-70 to 90-80-70-60.

And then they act like changing that matters and the courses will become easier or harder based on how it was changed. Because apparently the teachers aren't smart enough to make the questions harder or easier to get whatever effect they want. (Similar things come up when a state decides a B average is needed for scholarships, for example.)

Does a rule involving numerical cut-offs and consequences do anything if the rest of the system still isn't constrained?

This is one of those times that I wish tests for voting weren't so inherently racist. I wanna make someone tell me what a bell curve is before they're even allowed to have an opinion on this.

Random Trio:

Doing genealogy, I wonder about a lich named Vechta, and what has brought a farmer from that part of Oldenburg-Munsterland to take up the region's name in their undeath.

I'm saddened by the lack of pictures of bards offering pineapple pizzas on google.

Can we make anyone who is in finance or economics take one too, and have to compare and contrast it with the implications of Chebychev's inequality?

Catharine is way hotter and a better actress.

I think the more politically correct and on topic thing to say is that they're on different curves.

Catharine is a hot dog with ketchup and mustard.
Kristen is a plain hot dog.

I'll take Kristen's acting in The Good Place over Catherine's in Good Witch any day. I'm not entirely sure what it is but all those Hallmark shows are terrible and suck all the talent out of the room.
