Just to be clear

Arch is a biologist

A sexy biologist

You know that's redundant, right?

Ah, good, so now I know how to answer when people ask me if my sister is hot.

Yeah biologists are hotties. True facts.

Bias detected.

Alt. answer: Techies are cool.

Alt answer: people really knowledgable about anything are cool.

Or hot, depending on your view.

But I also don't know a lot about horses

And also I hate horses

I saw a horse try to eat a puppy once.

Arch

Hey I was right!

The inbreeding depression is a reduction of mean phenotypic values in animals that are inbred. We report here the existence of significant inbreeding depression for body measurements in SPB horses, which affects both performance and the EBVs ranking order.

Maybe...

Thus, no overall large effects of inbreeding, microsatellite heterozygosity, and mean d2 on morphological traits were observed in the Lipizzan horse.

Take your laptop, then decide when you get there.

Maybe do both.

Alight, when you're manufacturing a good, you have to allocate the costs that arise from production to the good. You can either do this individually per job, or you apply the costs to the product progressively as you make the thing. These two methods are job costing, and process costing respectively. You normally use job costing if you are producing very identifiable items like a house, or process costing if you are producing a whole bunch of identical units. The big difference between the two is that under job costing you are going to be noting the entire cost per job, while under process costing you are looking at the average production cost of all units produced.

And then weird accounting voodoo happens.

HELP ME I'M OLD AND CONFUSED NYEEEEHHH

Ravenhpltc24

So a friend of the family, my age, got pregnant at 17 and had her baby at 18. Everyone was like "urrrrr...." sort of wanting her to abort it or put it up for adoption as she never finished high school, but she didn't. Now that kid is almost 5, she makes stable money being a nanny and she has a boyfriend with a steady income as well. Her kid is absolutely my favorite little child I have ever known. Like, I really don't like little kids. They are generally annoying and awful. But this kid, this kid is the exception. I'm so glad she kept him and I love playing with him in the summer.

Edit: She just put up a video on Facebook of him explaining exactly how Transformers work, and it reminded me of how much I love him. I really hope I get to see him soon!

The fact that people would seriously be thinking Id be espousing hate vitriol is just about the most unnerving thing I've ever heard. Please make beautiful babies with whoever you love, and look beyond class as surfaces can be deceiving,

For the record, I don't think you were being hateful.

Just incorrectly using evolutionary theory and applying it badly to societal problems.

Which I guess for me is a little offensive, but I didn't think you were Hitler or anything.

My original statements weren't meant to be hypothesis or anything, one of which was a joke of sorts, and the other was me making sure people weren't going to be making the comparison that your links about bloodlines made me equivocate. I'm not I'm a spot to really be able to have the conversation you'd like about Dawkins and meme theory ATM (I'm doing some handicapping work now, which was why I had the fuck up about bloodlines. Btw, Arch is the name of a grad AAA turf sire ) but I'd be more than happy to a little later, after I can touch up and read a bit... Just two questions:

What are we trying to prove/disprove?

And why?

Anyway, much respect and I gotta read some of that stuff you linked a bit better, I was just horrified when I saw the militant angle being put on me, ad saw the bloodline stuff and suddenly started worrying I was being considered a nazi or somethIng.. Which is so against everything I stand for. Nazi Punks Fuck Off Erase Racism, etc.

I am not actually sure what we are trying to prove/disprove, @Madcaddy

The why seems irrelevant

I get that you were making a joke, which is why my initial response was jocular

What happens when he gets arrested for selling drugs to school kids ten years from now and gets shot by a cop?

That is the only future for kids having kids! It says so on my TeeVee!

Hey, I'm sorry that I don't write my best on the forum I peruse in my leisure time.. I can see why you'd expect better, and it's just simply unacceptable! Clearly you're owed better, if your government has taught me anything.

I've noticed that you have a penchant for sources that word-salad quite a bit, from the last economics text you linked at me

let me say that there is a level of argument at which "have you tried.... evolutionary game theory?" doesn't fly. this is the dividing line that separate popsci from actualsci, if you will.

Just an aside, and other are free to correct me on this, but I think this is an issue with a text-based medium.

I don't think they're coming off as passive aggressive at all. Everybody here is usually very friendly and open and all those good things.
