re: Everyone should request an itemized hospital bill, it is really interesting
Posted by Lolathon234 on 4/23/24 at 5:57 pm
I had a bloodhound run into and impale herself on a hayspear 2 weeks ago, end result was a puctured lung sac and loss of a circular section of hair/skin/outer fat ~12 inches in diameter. She required 2 seperate surgeries, one to repair the sac(which also needed x-rays for diagnosis), the other to re...

Have a mated pair of bald eagles that live on my ranch, they’ve been here ~10 years and never leave. They nest together in a pine next to the primary lake, which they fish out of daily. Pretty cool to be able to to watch them fish together on a daily basis. Also have a few roadrunners and cranes anc...

[quote]That’s fine. But you claimed that Texas regularly has decades of sustained success that end in a title. It occurred once in 50 years. Maybe you shouldn’t overstate your case? [/quote]

IMO a true blueblood is never down for a sustained period of time(>5+ years) and when they're up will be a perinneal top 5 team competing for NCs. And seeing their name on your teams schedule will strike fear in you even if they're down
Notre Dame and Nebraska used to fit that description, but ha...
re: Ideal age gap for a relationship if you want it to last
Posted by Lolathon234 on 4/22/24 at 8:30 pm
Ok, then the writer is misleading the general public in it's use of statistics as one form furthers an agenda. How often do you see likelihood ratios listed as relative rather than absolute probability outside of finance/math/sciences? A large proportion of readers aren't even aware of the differen...

Have to love made up statistics. They should have made it something more believable because given ~50% of all marriages end in seperation/divorce, that number being 3% is completely absurd. It's blatant things like this that make people start to realize the news isn't for reporting, it's real purpos...

It's interesting to think about Vietnam and what exactly "winning" would look like. The goals were to industrialize Vietnam, maintain Western(Fr. Indochina) influence/hegemony in the region, stop an insurection/prevent a true revolution & total loss of government(arguably this included inducing a re...
re: Housing market not cooling off at all
Posted by Lolathon234 on 4/10/24 at 1:49 pm
Aside from the fact that they already have access to billions, if not trillions, of capital, I doubt the banks care about downpayments, this isn't your average mortgage. The instruments are indexed to the underlying collateral and I'm sure they have a piece of the action on the derivatives, I'd even...
re: Housing market not cooling off at all
Posted by Lolathon234 on 4/10/24 at 12:27 pm
Well I'm assuming the way it works is this.
Private investment firms buy real estate property with combo of equity and debt. They rent said properties to individuals/families as housing, earning income.
They also simultaneously package said properties into a financial instrument and market t...
re: Housing market not cooling off at all
Posted by Lolathon234 on 4/10/24 at 11:29 am
So private equity bought up all of the housing, re-packaged it to ignorant retail investors via REIT's, and we're really supposed to believe this wasn't planned at the top to inflate property taxes? Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, as it's certainly helped the cities/counties/schools, but it s...

When people say "costly", it really just means more oil/energy is used to produce/transport it to market than is ultimately recovered, thus it's a net negative....

Well, the idea is to drill into sands, which typically have shale both above and below, right? The shale is what's extracted, er well as a solute in aqueous form. Fracking is an an extreme example as concentrated HCl or ~equivalent is injected to dissolve whatever rather than relying on water. And...

Water production is standard during oil & gas production. But I have 2 questions for you oil baws.
1. Aside from organic material/pollutants/etc deposited during climatic events(ex: peat accumulation in bottomlands after percolation/evaporation post-flood events), isn't virtually everything diss...
re: I did the Caitlin Clark/Pistol Pete math
Posted by Lolathon234 on 3/3/24 at 12:39 pm
I never said Maravich wasn't skilled, he is one of the most skilled basketball players in history(particularly relative to his era). But his style of play at LSU wasn't conducive to winning basketball. I'm assuming his dad decided to give him free reign in preparation for the NBA/ABA and the LSU AD ...

Posted by Lolathon234 on 3/3/24 at 11:18 am
Because it's already factored into their shooting percentage. And either way his own shoooting percentage is worse than the opponents and he took >50% of LSU's FGA.
Let's just look at his first year and assume both teams attempt 50 FG aka offensive rebounding and turnovers are equal
Maravich ...
re: I did the Caitlin Clark/Pistol Pete math
Posted by Lolathon234 on 3/3/24 at 7:12 am
It's time to kill this narrative. Pete Maravich was a volume chucker who was a detriment to his own team in college. He put up monstrous numbers on subpar efficiency. The name of the game in basketball is scoring more efficiently than your opponent. Maravich was not only less efficient than his oppo...

Carson Palmer was a 4* recruit and wasn't ever considered top 5 in his class
Ronald Curry
Drew Henson
Matt Holiday
Jared Jones
Corey Paus
And that's excluding Vick, because noone knew how to properly rate him.
