  2. China swimmer Ye Shiwen clean, says BOA boss Moynihan Teenage Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen is not a drug cheat, the British Olympic Association's chairman has said, after a US coach cast doubt on her world record-breaking swim. Lord Colin Moynihan said Ye, 16, had passed drug tests, was "clean" and deserved recognition for her talent. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  3. That's quite a few miles in a month. Do you typically get that many in every month, year round? I get in about 250 miles per month commuting (year round), plus another 1000-1500 each year recreationally. I just don't make riding a high enough priority to get very many miles in.

  5. Holmes was a law abiding gun owner right up until the moment he wasn't. Should he have had access to the guns he used to kill or injure 70 people? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  11. Have you ever seen the uncut version of the Friars Club Roast of Hugh Hefner, less than a month after 9/11? Gilbert Gottfried started to joke about 9/11, but it bombed didn't go over very well. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  12. A bigger screwup was to point it out to the folks who didn't notice. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  13. Why spend the extra tax money just keeping them off the streets? Minimum security serves that purpose well enough with most of these guys. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  14. It a decent correlative metric for standard of living. Notice how many of the countries outperforming the USA have mixed economies. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  15. The advantage goes to the attacker. He decides the time, place, method, everything. He also has the ability to delay his attack if things look like they won't go in his favor. he still has to choose to gamble. The defender does not. You're presuming that he always will attack, which is only true if he expect success at an extremely high probability. The defender is still gambling; he just has no choice in the matter. The attacker has a choice, and can choose to attack only when the odds are heavily in his favor. If he's smart and patient, such an opportunity is nearly inevitable. Math tutoring available.

  16. It looked at many different studies, but I didn't look at the individual studies. It was pretty obvious that many of them looked at things like alcoholism. Whether they also looked at drunk driving is unclear. I might take a look later. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  17. and yet you say that for the bad guy, it is in fact a super weapon when the target has one too? WTF? The advantage is in the planning and execution much more than the weapons. Most any group of civilians, no matter how well armed, could be taken by surprise and overwhelmed. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  19. You really should read the article to which I linked. I did. It points out in a few places that the greatest benefit is at the 1-2 drink level. And while some of the studies said up to 4, the actual advice was 15/week (5 x 3) for generic man, 10/week ( 5x 2)for generic woman, but never more than 4 or 3 at one instance. People zero in on the high number and quickly say "drink to my health!" It looks like these cited studies tend to group people into 3 cohorts - non drinkers, drunks, and everyone in between. I wonder if it was too unreliable to separate the 1-2 drinkers from the 3-4s. At least you're acknowledging that your previous interpretation (i.e., "The ones that spoke favorably pointed to much lower consumption - 1 or less per day.") was incorrect. That's a start.

  21. Knowing that you have a gun would almost certainly affect the jealous boyfriend's planning. However, it's easy enough to him to plan ahead and execute his attack in a manner that mitigates any advantage the gun might otherwise provide to his victim. Math tutoring available.

  24. I was. Knowing the victim carries a gun isn't likely to prevent such targeted attacks. Planning can overcome most any such safeguards. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  25. Not carrying a gun does not make one a helpless sheep. (Nor does carrying one doesn't keep one from being a sheep.) Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
