    What’s up with folks, including posters on this site, suddenly placing the dollar sign after an amount and the percentage sign before one? It seems like this is a pretty recent (and idiotic) orthographic trend around here that’s taken hold over the last year or so.

    Examples:
    100$ instead of $100
    %100 instead of 100%

    I can understand uneducated people getting confused or something, but these are supposedly college-educated or at least somewhat intelligent posters, doing this stuff, when they absolutely know better. And it is not hip or cool, if that’s why you’re doing it.

    Text matches speech, where the currency is read after the value, eg “three hundred dollars”. 

    Theres no unassailable logic why the currency has to go first. Thats why in many Nordic and Eurozone countries, the convention is for the currency as suffixes.

    popped a 12mg zyn as a non-smoker while driving on a road trip and it zooked me out of my goddamn mind.

    thought i was a lil bitch until i read the comments... atleast im not the *only* bitch.  fyi, based on the nicotine absorption, the 12mg is approx equivalent to 5-6 cigs at the same time.

    And no on the poor people thing. Rich people are a pain in the ass and complain over little bullshit. Middle class and poor complain about money and cause the front desk lots of headaches regarding financing and insurance. Poor miss appointments, fight bills, don't follow patient instructions, and try cheating the system. In summary, no specific income level is immune from being a pain in the ass. Think about going to a restaurant - the rich send their food back and act like arrogant assholes, middle class and poor complain about the bill, the poor don't tip. Who is worse and who is better? It depends on what type of PIA the service provider is better able to handle.

    hmm, his volatility is getting more heteroscedastic with the kentucky game. he was on his way to a damn near perfect predictive regression data sampling there until uk. 

    *heteroskedastic. which it already wasnt because the vol was changing with each game. 
     

    did you meant the monotonocity perhaps?

  5. The frustrating thing is the compounding effect from missing easy dink and dunk throws. 

    1 incomplete isnt just a loss of down and small chunk of yard, its a loss of half the playbook, its ratchets up difficulty of moving the chain, loses momentum, time of possession, wear on opposing defense, everything. 

    if we completed just half of the 3 yard misses, the complexion of the game would be totally different.

    It was the hottest sporting event I’ve ever been to. Way less shade and seating than Singapore. If Singapore is an 8 out of 10 for the event, i thought COTA was a 3.
     

    Atmosphere be damned. Some events are just too unpleasant in person and more enjoyable spectated from home. 
     

    Austrian and Hungarian GP were like that for me. Not seeing shit like that again unless its from a box.
