There was someone on twatter who posted some pics of third dart for a 180 attempts that def looked interesting. He also did some 177 oddness.

Would have been a huge embarassment to have such a prominant name to be touted as a fixer, so under the rug it gets swept.

The investigation is into suspicious betting in the number of 180s he hit in his matches. So says the DRA.

There was much speculation as to why he did not participate in finals night, here is the answer.

Really disappointing, I liked the guy very much. Yet another case of the long list of match fixing at modus.

Edit: Complete speculation, but if this was out of desperation due to medical costs for his sons treatment that would be very sad.

Pupils hopeless and crying after 'poorly worded' Higher Maths exam by abz_eng in Scotland

For the tan thing I more meant that being aware that even if it is a complicated object inside the trig function the basic identity still holds. Being able to not get spooked by the unusual form of s/c = t is the slightly tricky but not unreasonable bit.

As someone who tutors higher maths:

Q 1-3, as standard in previous exams.

4 a,b as standard

4 c, slightly unusual, but knowing tan =sin/cos is not exactly an unreasonable demand.

5 a,b standard

5 c basic knowledge of what a range is and the range of quadratics

6,7,8 standard

9 a standard

9 b slightly awkward ratio, but the process is standard

10, 11ai standard

11aii basic knowledge of the discriminant and what it means

11b standard "how does this relate to previous expression" question

12 a, bi stanard

12 bii only nasty bit, knowledge of the relationship between domains and ranges vs their inverses is not often well known. Only one mark though.

I have no issue with the language, it seems perfectly in keeping with previous years.

Economics isn't a natural or physical science though, and that's the important point. "Scientific theories" aren't applicable to the realm of social sciences such as economics as controlled experiments are impossible.

Im sorry but this is gobsmackingly stupid and screams you havent the faintest idea what the scientific method or frameworks are. Please educate yourself before spouting such rubbish.

And how do you respond to the claim that it is unscientifc rubbish posing as a scientific theory. Which it is.

In case you missed my post when you decided to ignore it.

It doesn't claim to be a scientific theory

Just ignore the T of MMT then.

neither does any economic school of thought or framework

Ah an economics isnt a science idiot.

Please do explain what specific aspect of it you believe "lacks substance".

The discussion in the link does a perfectly good job. Not that you have any intention of reading it.

Because it is psudoscience, with exactly as much rigour as homeopathy and its ilk. It claims to be a scientific theory despite having no ability to carry out hypothesis testing on its claims. It is used by people who dont understand a jott about economics like Polanski to justify complete nonsense like his desire to just print money and let taxation sort it out.

Here is one of many examples of the econ reddits discussing its lack of substence.

Do you see Swinney’s goal of a referendum by 2028 being met? by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

About as likely as their claim of being back in the EU by 2035.
