is there such a thing as "sumif) with 2 arguments? thanks. (we're so excel help, aren't we?) -- nm - amanda jones Dec 9, 07:12 8
- there is indeed. you want SUMIFS -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:15 7
  - is that a new function in Office 2007? i don't believe it exists in older versions of Excel. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 07:18 6
    - just googled... yes it is. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:20 5
      - well then, that is awesome and i would love to have it in my excel. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 07:21 4
        
        honestly, I prefer to use SUMPRODUCT instead. I tend to have even more than two criteria. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:22 3
        
        sumifs can nest up to seven. -- nm - amanda jones Dec 9, 07:24 2
        
        ah, good to know. I prefer SUMPRODUCT because it's cleaner. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:25 1

do you guys remember my people here? can I just say "karen" or do you need "my friend karen"? whatever. karen heard last night that pound-for-pound, - amanda jones Dec 9, 06:31 22
- I seriously doubt it, but it's made me wonder if people can actually build up a "tolerance" - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:12 4
  - volumetrically speaking I don't think that's possible. I agree with decline. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:16 1
    - This is what I've always assumed, just figured I would ask. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:22
  - From my understanding this is not the case. Your BAC goes up the same, but a higher tolerance means you handle it better. - decline Dec 9, 07:15 1
    - [deleted]
- I doubt that too. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 06:59
- I doubt that. -- nm - lileve Dec 9, 06:47
- no it's not true Inuit are generally speaking small so are most asian people - Danedukenuuk Dec 9, 06:41 1
  - that has nothing to do with their body size. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:06
- that makes no sense. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 9, 06:35
- I call shenanigans. Their bodies don't metabolize alcohol any better than anyone else does. -- nm - decline Dec 9, 06:33 11
  - this, plus you would think a beer would have more impact on them just due to size -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 06:35 10
    - hence the "pound for pound" thing. -- nm - amanda jones Dec 9, 06:37 9
      - but maybe part of alcohol breakdown in the body is done by things like the stomach, liver and their may work equal to a larger persons? - Elf Andie Dec 9, 06:39 7
        
        except, those organs are smaller. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:00
        
        see, this makes sense to me. (if mara were here, she'd google it up for us.) -- nm - amanda jones Dec 9, 06:42 5
        
        Sorry, I got busy with rockin' my latest stupid assignment at work. I hate programming. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 07:24
        
        I googled it up, and dwarves (as opposed to midgets) have the same organ size, so perhaps the pound for pound thing is correct? - Amy Dec 9, 07:12 2
        
        L4 -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 07:24
        
        that would make sense. I am too scared to google any further. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:16
        
        I'm not mara, but I googled and came up with zero. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:09
      - me no read good -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 06:38
Gallup Poll: 66% of Americans support continuing the Bush tax rates and extending unemployment benefits -- (link) - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:29 20
- and how many do think the moon landings were fake? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 9, 06:44
- This is because most america has no idea who the tax cuts affect (case in point my tea party relatives) -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 06:39
- sure, if you insist on qrguing from a false dichotomy. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 06:36

  - Heh, you said "hostage package". - Amy Dec 9, 07:25
  - That article is from >3 months ago, the data in my IM is more accurate as of today. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:39 14
    - [deleted] 12
      - You're the lawyer. :) What's the difference between that data and my IM taken from the Gallup Poll? - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:45 11
        
        his avoids the false dilemma presented by Gallup by including the policy options that were actually under consideration, rather than presenting it as - znufrii Dec 9, 06:54 6
        
        same question I raised to Jack below - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:57 5
        
        I'm ignoring the unemployment question altogether, and focusing solely on their approach to the tax cut issue. - znufrii Dec 9, 06:59 4
        
        They included the middle option. That's 1 primary difference, yes. - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:07 3
        
        and all I'm saying is that the false dilemma explains the difference. The results are not comparable as they are not actually asking the same question - znufrii Dec 9, 07:10 2
        
        I understand. Jack's use of the word "hostage package" above made me think both of you were including the unemployment benefits + the tax extension. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:14 1
        
        My mistake was assuming you and Jack were coming from the same angle. - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:19

    - 7yrs is actually not that bad for him given what was speculated. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:09 15
      - right. This along with what ML makes me feel a bit better. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 9, 06:10 14

        He's a very good player and is one of the best moves Boston had to make, but I don't think he's $50 million better than Ichiro. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:26 1

        I think Fangraphs uses UZR (which is sketchy) whereas B-R uses the other defensive metric. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:25 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Jolly good show sir. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:37 3
        
        I really like UZR, and not because it favors the guy we just signed. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 06:40 2
        
        I don't know the differences ... I'd likely support the one that assigns more runs - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:44 1
        
        read MLs link above comparing UZR and TZ. its interesting. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 06:51

  - His defense is actually quite overrated imo if you at the numbers. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 9, 06:06
- I've lost count at the number of players that Boston/NYY/NYM have over-paid for. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:02 1
