Dan Bailey "the best"? Uhh...

He and Justin Tucker are neck and neck statistically


Pretty sure Tucker passed him statistically because of last season though, but it's still splitting hairs percentage wise


Isn't Gostkowski better?


Statistically, no, but he has a much larger body of work and the argument can definitely be made.

Dan Bailey is at 89.5% out of 191 attempts
Justin Tucker is at 89.8% out of 187 attempts
Gostkowski is at 87.1% on 350 attempts


Which again you can definitely make the argument he is


Yeah, I think I was putting too much emphasis on how long Gostkowski has been good.

In what world does the entirety of the answer to one question take up the entire front and back of a notebook page

Man I did longer homework Friday evening. Had to write some proofs for my foundations of math homework (it's basically set theory): 5 or 6 problems, about 14-15 pages total.


How do you have proofs that long in a foundation of math class?

Hell if I know. I wish I could say it was just me being verbose but according to the professor it's actually happening for most people in the class. :/

EDIT - Not like it matters, I like writing proofs, but still. <_<


What are some of the things you are proving though?

Well I can't speak for the current homework assignment since that's not due until Wednesday (so that could definitely be me). We're mostly looking at various relations and proving whether they're equivalence relations, and if not which properties they do/don't satisfy. There was also one on partial order in there, and another one circular relations. Might be others that I forgot.

The previous one we haven't gotten back but everyone's stuff looked pretty long. I don't have the assignment in front of me but basically it was proving various properties of sets. Like (A union B) intersect C = (A union C) intersect (A union B). Stuff like that (that specific example might not be a property but it illustrates it essentially). There was also some stuff on fuzzy and crisp sets, and some quick set operation stuff (like you might be given a universe of discourse, a few sets, and you might find various unions, intersects, complements, stuff like that), though that didn't really take too long; same for a couple of problems in finding which sets were equivalent.

The previous one before that was proofs involving various properties of numbers. I recall proving:

- All rational numbers have a prime factorization, and that it's unique
- That between any two rational numbers that there's an irrational, and an infinite number of them
- We *might* have had to prove the opposite: between any two irrationals there's a rational, but I could be wrong
- That "rounding" operations don't necessarily work with the distributive property (I didn't actually go into a full-blown proof on this: I was tempted but it quickly became a headache in my scratch work so I just went with a quick counterexample)

It's easy stuff - just takes some time I guess.


I just don't know how you are taking ~3 pages a proof at that level. But if your prof is fine with it, then it's whatever.

So you're saying historically "6÷whatever" is basically the same thing "6÷(rest of the equation)?"


Yes, but equally importantly, whatever ÷ 6 is treated as (beginning of equation) ÷ 6.

The obelus and solidus are pretty much interchangeable in the modern American education system.


There's a reason that around the time you learn order of operations you see the ÷ start to disappear.

Should give you the same answer

You're assuming your conclusion.

Here's a question for you, are

6 ÷ 2 * 3

and

6 / 2 * 3

the same?

That depends on whether or not that forward slash represents a fraction or not.


It's representing division using the solidus.

Then yes.


Historically, the obelus (÷) has been used to indicate that everything to the left is the numerator and everything to the right is the numerator while solidus (/) is used as a binary operation taking the symbols immediately to either side.

So 6 ÷ 2 * 3=1 and 6/2 * 3 =9.

But you weren't aware of that convention. And likely if you communicated with one of your peers, they would not be aware of that convention. So you could successfully communicate the mathematical expression you were intending.

This is the problem with trying to ban people from office on the basis of moral beliefs that stem from religion vs secular sources. Under your standards no traditional Christian could be a judge, and even many moderate Christians, or any religious person at that. Because their moral beliefs are influenced by religion, and will affect how they view and interpret that law. That is an extremely bigoted view.


The problem isn't how they view and interpret the law. The problem is whether they make argument FROM the law or not.

Some times people take multiplication by concatenation as being higher priority.

Thing is though, in math the rules are pretty rigid. If you are doing something out of order because of preference, you are doing it wrong.


That's not true at all.

Mathematicians don't care about order of operations. Order of operations is just a standard for communication ease. Math still works under any other standard (as long as parentheses has highest priority).

Is fg the function g followed by f or f followed by g? Depends on the conventions of your subfield and even up to what country your instructor was born in. Do the natural numbers include zero or not?

All notation is based on preferences in Math and as long as you communicate clearly, the math still works.

Even if I granted that argument, it is not applicable here. The rights Feinstein was referring too was clearly not the right tp capital punishment, which her party opposes. It was most likely abortion rights. Second, her statements, given she spoke about "the dogma living loudly" in her gave a strong appearance of bias against traditional Christians because of their religious beliefs. That is unAmerican especially when the vast majority of Americans are Christians.


How does swapping abortion rights with capital punishment change anything here?

This isn't about "accusing" anyone. It's just that people are sociologically uncomfortable with the idea that they benefit from a biased system, so any way that they can frame it that doesn't reflect their privilege allows them to just ignore the problem.

There are plenty of secular people who feel the exact same way about the death penalty.


And if those people wrote a paper about how secularism suggests that a judge is morally precluded from enforcing the death penalty, I would also call that a problem.

Again, you seem to be suggesting that this is because she's Catholic, and not because she's said "I'm Catholic therefore..."

I think it's high time in this country we also start requiring ID's for people to vote. The only reason the Dems are against it because they know they'll be on the losing end of that battle.

But hey, more illegals to vote for them!!!


How about we require IDs but do everything in our power to make it easy for people to get those IDs, and do it right now, with extended DMV hours with auxiliary stations to accommodate people with limited travel capabilities and rigid work schedules.

Instead of making a "Voter ID law" that simultaneously cuts polling places, reduces the number of places to get IDs, imposes strict requirements for getting IDs and pass the bill six months before an election?

The nominee is being attacked for being an orthodox Christian, not because she threatened to use her religious beliefs in her capacity as a judge.


Did you read the thing that The Deadpool linked?

She claims that "Catholic judges are morally precluded from enforcing death penalty cases." (and then goes on to explain more).

Death penalty cases should be decided based on constitutional reasons and based on prior cases, not on what the judge's personal morals are. And a judge who can't make decisions without drawing on that and must recuse themselves of every death penalty case, abortion case, gay marriage case, etc. should not be sitting on a Court of Appeals.

Then who's to say the Clinton campaign wouldn't have still gotten more votes?

Trump garglers always bring out this argument, and I don't think the realize that yes, Trump would've campaigned differently but Clinton likely would've as well.

According to the contest we did hold, more people wanted Clinton to lead them than Trump.


I think at some point they convinced themselves that Clinton won the popular vote because she was using a "win the popular vote but not the electoral college" strategy, and so it's not fair to compare using the popular vote.

I don't even know why people think the strategies would be tremendously different in a popular vote system anyway. Candidates don't go to states with the most electoral votes, they go to states that are the closest to flipping one way or the other. You would still see candidates campaign in the areas where they have the most room to gain votes. Sure, that shifts around where they visit a bit, but you wouldn't suddenly see all of the campaigning happen in California and New York.

You keep saying this like the DNC coronation doesn't mean anything. The DNC crowned Hillary AND THEN PEOPLE VOTED FOR HER OVER BERNIE.

People who vote in the primaries are a part of the DNC voterbase. If your complaint is that the voterbase picked a candidate who wasn't very electable, that's a completely different conversation.

Because the DNC decided who their candidate would be long before the primaries happened, and did not give two s***s about what their own voterbase cared about. When the emails came out, showing Debbie Wasserman Schultz colluding directly with the Hillary camp, it simply reaffirmed those suspicions to a lot of people.


But what was the DNC supposed to do? Make more candidates run? If the voter base doesn't like any of their choices for a primary, they should encourage a different candidate to run.
