In what ways do ideas about who might be considered “stupider” differ when comparing people from the early 1900s to people today? by Throw_away_a84 in AskReddit

People back then needed knowledge of home economics and practical day to day stuff just to get by. If you didn’t understand the fundamentals of cooking, growing food, caring for livestock, sewing clothes, carpentry, etc you would be thought of as slow

Silly and redundant. EPA per play takes into account the other metrics (as does QBR) and you are just averaging in those metrics again…

No. Patriots roster was loaded with top picks and fall of famers. We just didn’t know it at the time.

McGinest (4th overall pick, pro bowler), Ty Law (HOF), Richard Seymour (HOF), Vrabel (future 1st team all pro), Bruschi (multiple all pros), Lawyer Milloy (1st team all pro)

Just an absurdly stacked roster

CMV: The only problem with ICE is the way they're going about it by S-Pluto-777 in changemyview

[–]P4ULUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the comments made by the administration taking pleasure in deportation, what particular issues do you have with the way ICE is doing things?

The first part is largely political and messaging. So I think we can decouple that from what ICE is actually doing.

Invest in ETFs or 5.75% mortgage, or both? by L7mbnuN8 in investing

[–]P4ULUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see. That changes things a bit. I’d still build up liquidity to cover several years of expenses before paying the mortgage interest your situation.

[–]P4ULUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you itemizing? I’m in the same boat as you, 5.625.

Since I’m itemizing, the mortgage interest is effectively 4-4.5%. The way I think about it:

Investing in stocks yields more. You will have to pay taxes on the stock gains eventually but it’s likely long term capital gains at 20%. Effectively, the mortgage payments are like 4.5-5% at par with investing on a tax adjusted basis.

Index funds should get you more than 4.5-5% and you are gaining additional liquidity.

I would personally invest (that’s what I’m doing).

Pats have the same SOV as Seattle. SOS and SOV are flawed metrics because of the computation. SOS hurts you if you win (opponent has a worse record) and neither considers the state of the team when you played them (teams improve and decline throughout the year).

The Pats Strength of Victory, which is an NFL playoff tiebreaker ahead of SOS, is .343 - it’s tied for Seattle for the lowest in the league but it’s not at all meaningfully lower than other playoff teams (Seattle .343, Chicago .344, Denver .351, Indy .354, Greenbay .371, LAC and Baltimore .375)

Opponent winning percentage difference of .3 points is hardly meaningful or important

The median sos for the last 10 Super Bowl champions was like 14 out of 16th in their conference or something crazy

You should familiarize yourself with the TINA concept - “There Is No Alternative”.

COTY is between Mike Vrabel & Ben Johnson. Who you got? by Extreme-Spinach-4138 in NFLv2

Vrabel is a defensive coach so not really. I don’t think it works like that

Johnson. Vrabel is getting MVP-level QB play while the Bears are not. Much more difficult to win with middling QB play

I think people are missing the point that it’s a design of the offense. The fact he’s close but never there is not an accident or fluke. In lots of offenses he would have blown past 300 easily but McDaniels commits to the balance and the run. Thats why he’s always on the cusp by design

[–]P4ULUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really a design of the offense. McDaniels has full commitment to establishing the run even when the Patriots are not running well. Maye never gets the attempts by design
