__________ is/are overrated.

Taylor Swift

I find the contradiction amusing when heterosexual men get upset when an attractive woman is shown during a sports broadcast involving muscly dudes.

T-Swizzle's got a billion dollars.  The forum membership doesn't have anything close to that in aggregate.

She seems to be doing something right...unlike her boyfriend...who looked quite overrated the other night.

Overrated enough to make the Hall of Fame.

He's far from the peak of his career and played terribly last night.

Far = a year. Didn't play great last night for sure. But lots of people are just haters for the sake of hating without recognizing his talent. (For the record, not saying that's you.)

I'm still confused why Taylor Swift hate got posted in multiple threads a day after the NFL season ended.

Wot, you're not going to say "haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate"?

Ah, but if someone in these boards did have anything close to that kind of wealth, we'd remind them "money isn't everything" because "that's not the only way to measure success".

How does |Rothman| know how much money we all have?

I have my ways and they are mysterious.

Rothman will be there when we hit the ground.

Seems implausible to me that an uber wealthy person would be into roads.  About the closest crossover to what this hobby involved seems to be performance car driving.

Half of the members have fewer than two posts.  All it takes is for one of America's 750+ billionaires to have created an account at some point and then done nothing with it.   

[Rothman]

If a billionaire comes on here they owe us our cut.

Assuming billionaires are equally likely to be on aaroads as non-billionaires (false), the probability we have a billionaire on here is 1-(0.9999977)^4698 = 1.07%.

Yeah, but the probability that all forum members in aggregate have >$1BN is much greater than that.

[kphoger]

Yeah, but the probability that all forum members in aggregate have >$1BN is much greater than that.

But "much greater" is still quite relative.  I have my doubts that the mean worth of all members is over $200,000.

I think you take most random assortments of people and likely wouldn't exceed that mean 200k threshold often.

He's really Harry Bolz .. I mean, Elon Musk ... and he has all that Treasury information and all your Social Security data he hacked via DOGE.

I mean, that does explain some things.  Especially Rothman's love for Taco Bell.

I doubt he's a billionaire, but Ken Jennings probably does all right.

Oh, hey, Arkansas DOT has an account, too. Their 2025 budget is $33.7 billion. And we know they're into roads. So there you go.

My budget is $2.15 billion.

Make sure not to spend that last $2.5 million or things will go seriously wrong.
