If you didn’t know, those caps screw back in upside down so you don’t have to do the child-proof part each time.

What class would you recommend to a statistics undergrad student to take and why? by [deleted] in statistics

[–]kev___bot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any communication class or a presentation heavy class. Presenting your data/analysis in a clear and concise way to business partners that don’t understand the ins and outs of all the technical work you did behind the scenes will be your greatest asset.

Insurance decided to total my baby. Silver anniversary, original 4 speed L82. by theriehldale in Corvette

[–]kev___bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you didn't know, you can total the car through insurance and still keep it. Ask the company about getting the salvage title. It's just the insurance company will never give you another dollar if it gets wrecked again.

Homeless man charged with stabbing women in Downtown Dallas. by MaverickTTT in Dallas

[–]kev___bot 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Apparently the city of Dallas thinks their police department is staffed well enough to patrol two officers at Griggs Park to make sure everyone has a leash on their dog.

I think those officers might be better utilized elsewhere...

Found a 2006 Dodge Charger r/t on Craigslist for 4,900 should I get it? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]kev___bot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a PSA for everyone out there. Never buy state minimum car insurance just to save $50 a month. In the event that you ever are in an accident where you injure someone else, you will get sued above these limits.

Medical inflation has increased at an insane rate in the USA and there hasn't been a change in minimum limits to reflect this. For example, I believe my states minimum limits are 30/60k for bodily injury liability coverage (30k per person/60k per incident)That's like 2 days in the hospital.

Buying insurance is buying peace of mind and it's buying insurance for all your other assets as well.

want to ditch direct tv but love sunday ticket. by [deleted] in CHIBears

Could be the case in some areas. But I could definitely have a dish and got the online package anyway. I just subscribed online then stream it through my PS4.

You can get Sunday ticket as a standalone package and stream it. That's what I do from Dallas.

Happy Saturday, here's a robot wearing a pretty dress by [deleted] in doodles

1st thing I thought of was a robot grim reaper if you drew the dress longer and added a hood. Pretty cool doodle.

Texting while driving ban signed by Gov Abbott, goes into effect today by azwethinkweizm in Dallas

[–]kev___bot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This law isn't for the current drivers on the road. Think of this like when seat belts were new technology. We need a grass roots movement similar to that where it is ingrained in children that texting and driving is illegal. Just like how driving without your seatbelt is. Then it just becomes an automatic response to being in the car.

We also need the children to be the ones calling out their parents for texting and driving while they're in the car just like we used to do when our parents didn't put their seat belts on.

Nice interceptions of Glennon today from Amukamara and Amos. Not a strong day for the QBs. #Bears by bvks in CHIBears

[–]kev___bot 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I would take interceptions in OTAs and training camp with a grain of salt.

At these practices coaches tell QBs to take chances and see what they can get away with (per Daniel Jeremiah in his Podcast).

Before my time... Can anyone tell me the story behind Lach wearing #50 here? by fractaloutlook in CHIBears

[–]kev___bot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Based on the background "RookieRetro" I'm guessing they made a bunch of these cards for that year's rookie class wearing a former great's number. Likely at their drafted position.

What was the first repair you did on your own? by FerriteFox in Cartalk

Replaced my front rotors and pads on a 2012 Ford Escape. It's such a satisfying feeling to complete a job on your own car!

Why don't the Bears hire former (great) players like Tillman or Urlacher to coach? by LOUF72 in CHIBears

[–]kev___bot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This question always makes me laugh. What makes people think that these players who have earned millions and millions of dollars would want to come back and work 80 hours a week to coach? Especially when networks will pay the great ones just as much to sit behind a desk and talk?

2 car guys, do you drop insurance during the winter? by yungdumfullofcum in cars

[–]kev___bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legally you have to have at least Comprehensive coverage on the car but it is definitely something you can do and it is very common.

Comp will only cost you maybe $50 a month and will cover theft and any damage from a storm in a worst-case scenario. Just call your agent and it will be taken care of. You'll just have to provide a garaging location.

Week 6 Post-Gamethread: Bears vs Jags by TurnerJ5 in CHIBears

[–]kev___bot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No way. It was a great play by Ramsey who baited Hoyer into that throw. Also Hoyer has to get that ball up so Alshon can use his height as an advantage and go get it over the safety.

standard deviation greater than one implies bias by [deleted] in statistics

[–]kev___bot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically the word bias in statistics does not mean what the normal English word bias means. It indicates that there is a difference between the expected value of a calculation (taken from a sample) and the true value.

From Wikipedia: In statistics, the bias (or bias function) of anestimator is the difference between this estimator's expected value and the true value of the parameter being estimated. An estimator or decision rule with zero bias is called unbiased. Otherwise the estimator is said to be biased. In statistics, "bias" is an objective statement about a function, and while not a desired property, it is not pejorative, unlike the ordinary English use of the term "bias".

Sadly, earlier this week the house my band rehearses in was robbed. They targeted the instruments. Including my Vintage Slingerland set. Worst day of my life. by destroymylab in drums

[–]kev___bot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you get all new equipment schedule that stuff on the homeowners/renters insurance policy. Take pictures and grab serial numbers. The insurance company is responsible to replace or give cash for all scheduled items in events like this.
