Do you mean quit: as in stop; or do you mean quite, as in absolute? e.g. It is quite out of the question? Do you mean you're a twit? Your is possessive; as in what is your name? You're is the contraction of you are. Their is possessive as in: belonging to or associated with a person. As in: your taunts have lost their power to influence anyone.
For your information, what a study consists of is not fully understood by most people. Even in government, most people do not even know how to frame the questions for a proper study. Thus, the information can be, and very possibly will be, invalid. A lot of information that the government tell us is only propaganda, and they improperly use statistics to get their point across. Doing so mean that they're trying to bring us to the type of thinking that they desire.
Do such statements make me a cynic? Yes, I believe that most people are motivated purely by self-interest and that governments rarely act in an honorable manner. But, we are stuck with it.
No shit, it is quite fun talking to you as if you are retarded.
I do not know if you are retarded, or not. I only know what I read.
Play safe friend.

I had a typo, that can be corrected, but what cant be corrected is your a twat and seriously no one even reads your long winded bullshit, no wonder you've had 3 wives die, hell if I lived in the same house I would pray for death myself.  I think you can figure out where to put your lips.

Happy St. Paddy day.
No one reads it? Hell you read it.
At least you understand that when you don't have a defense, any attempt at offense is better than nothing.
Dawg, just love messing with your head.

Haha ya your about as significant as a zit. By the way what am I suppose to be defending, I am not arguing any point with you just pointing out that your a twat, no one cares about your military service which you bring up in almost every conversation and no one cares about your dead wives which you bring up just as often. As for reading your long winded bloviation, didnt, read the first 2 sentences and knew it was your usual drival.

Several glaring errors stood out in the news item at first reading, without the complete data. It is obviously a lot of BS in places especially when it comes to money.

I am reminded of so many people from what you say here who list diets that
"DON"T WORK FOR ME!"
News flash,. all diets work, Eat less than you burn, and you lose weight
BUT IM HYPOTHYROID
that just means you burn less calories, you still can lose weight, just eat less
and get your thyroid checked
Women love to say, "well I can't lose fat, I have POS(Polycystic ovary syndrome) that's why I'm fat.,
News flash, POS happens AFTER you got fat
Thow someone in a controlled setting where they are given calories,what happens, they all lose weight,

Most teachers do not understand that the standard population curve is useless in the real world because the whole purpose of some of the studies is to skew the curve to where we want it to be. e.g. if we are packing a food item with a weight of 1 pound, we can not legally sell it if it is under one pound, and we surely want it to be as close to one pound as possible because we would be giving away the excess. Thus the population curve is skewed. Duh, professor.

My mind continued on after your post ended.....
You take the number of vehicles in the field (A) and multiply it by the probable rate of failure (B), multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement (C). A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do on

Well interesting approach. But the way it is figures is much more complicated; e.g. there are many different ways to figure what the average figure is. There is the familiar: mean, media and mode. Plus such things as the weighted mean, the geometric mean, or the floating mean that throws out all all results prior to a certain date such as 5 weeks because we want to see what we are currently doing (a floating monthly evaluation). For that use, the ancient history just doesn't matter.
Just like the news article on prostitution. The conclusions just are not accurate when it comes to the girls income. Some of these ladies are doing OK, but few are getting rich as the article implied.
In my business, I have had a nice large sale many times in my career but I have not had those large sales every day. I have referred to that income as icing on the cake. The everyday work pays lower and I give large discounts to my regular customers - so that they stay with me. But that is the important operational income.
After I set up the work, I now have others do it for less money; but, the money comes in every month and it pays for other peoples salaries and overhead. What to I get out of it? I get a support staff that is always available to help when the larger jobs come along; plus, I give everyone a piece of the action. No one wants to work if there is not something in it for them. The big sales are spun off to the side and not considered as the normal operation and not evaluated for normal income bonus.
Why? Because if it is calculated as part of the average income it inflates what we are really earning. How is everyone doing on a regular basis is the point. Are you living hand to mouth and are you out of business if the big sale is not made?
To bring this home clearly. We operate OK day to day, and everyone is happy. The opportunity for a big sale and a lot of income comes along as icing on the cake. So everyone and his cousin knows about it and everyone is out for grabs on this big sale, can I cut my prices easier than everyone else and maintain a better share of the market? Of course. I once did this on a large government sale with nine competitors bidding against me for just materials. I sold everything at my cost just to spend the money in the current fiscal year and wipe out my own yearly profits by spending the money (cash basis accounting & no inventory). Thus, profits were pushed into the following year and no tax was due for the previous year.
Statistics can be bull shit. Think about what is being said. What is the underlying story.
So, this crap in the news article about how much money girls can make in a single day is just pure propaganda. The question, is how well one can do in a year, or many years.

Me being a data analyst, would love to see the original study notes. I am not so sure these statistics are accurate.

Would have to agree that the data would be interesting. T tests or p? Number of cases, time span, standard deviation, I might be able to track it down after I watch the report. I can access so unusual data though some resources not everyone has....

I didn't find his comments out of line. I have a colleague at KU who is much worse. He has a chip on his shoulder from losing a government grant and now he has to teach. Now he has some communication problems.

You seem to know what you are talking about, so I'll bite, because I am not a provider, but what makes a successful provider?
Ad wise--on bp, on eccie, both, NR?
donation wise(what is the optimal price range for KC for the various time frames)
outcall? incall? or both
how the provider maintains her body....what effect does getting fat/getting lean, or having babies do to her money making abilities,
I was wondering what your thoughts were, because you seem to know a lot about the area and I bet some of the ladies here would lend an ear to you.
