I’ll take two!

My parents did. But that was before I was born, so the early 1960s.

Dictionaries are like cats. They just find their own home.

I’m 60 so I’ll take 40.

I know several people that have bought more than one wedding dress.

And the answer is"What is the Poisson Distribution" Alex.

There is literally a distribution that describes the occurences of low probability events in large populations. It was developed to study deaths by horse kick in the Prussian army. So confidence intervals never come into it. You’re applying Stats for Communications Majors reasoning to an adult problem.

Holy shit that’s low. I was asking for £35k in 2004 for a technical role. They wanted to pay 17.

I was a civil servant. The hiring bands were pretty wide well defined there, at least for technical specialists like yours truly. The 50-60% of max range is considered developmental and would normally be given to an internal candidate who was being groomed as part of a succession plan. 60-80% is the sweet spot, and they will go to 90% for an exceptional candidate. Only once in my career did I negotiate 100% of max - and it was because I was taking a pay cut in the new role. I was changing jurisdictions because I was ( and still am) in love.

100% this. This is pretty classy. We are typically told to not even contact external candidates. HR will send them the impersonal notice.

I feel like the numbers matter here. I recently moved jobs and the posted salary was the full range for the role. The hiring range is a narrower slice of that range. The range below the hiring target is internal development space. The space above is …well they don’t want to use it. They want a couple years of salary increase to keep you from immediately starting your next job search I think. lol.

Are you telling me that 35,000 vehicles is not a sufficient sample size to assess safety? Are you for real?

You can draw conclusions because there’s only 35,000 on the road. That is a terrible rate.

Are you asking about effective plantings to attract butterflies? In that case we need more information like your approximate location and hardiness zone. Or is this a whimsical question.

I understand this 100%. My father imagined himself to be a character and the life of the party. He would dress like a biker no matter the affair. He had been a systems analyst on big iron.

I am an adjunct professor. My evenings are taken for making slides and marking. I wish I had time for gaming.

Yeah but base building doesn’t seem as sexy. LSD is the basis of every coffee plan - Long Slow Donuts.

I think it’s hilariously stupid. It might have made more sense if it followed a training progression. Like move from coffee sprint to coffee racer, menu long run and then the marathon maybe? Sprint to marathon is some Goggins level shit.

I’m old and I don’t think that’s true. Frozen entrees have ways been on the light side. And frozen dinners for one would be 3 oz of meat, and a couple of spoonfuls of boiled peas or something.

Absolutely not. I loathe gestures my touchpad and disable everything I can.

Yes.
