<0> He looks old.
<1> what town?
<2> xtr: same age I am
<3> I'm near quakertown if you know where that is
<1> yes
<1> i am near king of prussia
<0> Nooooo waaaaay.
<3> cool, I used to work down there
<1> audubon
<3> yeah I used to p*** that, I hate 422
<4> BuckWild: A simple example is error theory. We all would think if you offered someone a "good deal" on all cost/benefit analysis. If our judgment is true, the line through the cost/benefit probability should form a straight line but it doesn't. It's' a curve defined by various factors (whether it's a probable loss or a probable gain, and so forth. If our judgment was sound, this wouldn't happen. A whole buttload of supply and demand economic theory goe
<1> i live right off of 422
<1> do you know the St. Gabe's Curve? thats what they call it on the traffic reports
<2> here's a better pic o' chris... http://www.hogranch.com/digi-2005/2005-03-29/slides/IMG_0381.html
<3> Tomomi, that's because a lot of it depends on personality, the idea of an "easy sell" is alive and well
<3> don't think I've heard of it, but I know the area somewhat
<3> I almost got a job in oaks too
<1> so we are pretty close
<1> ok, oaks is next to audubon
<0> Damn who's the geek behind samosa.
<1> st. gabe's curve is on 422, the areas between audubon/oaks and audubon/trooper exits
<3> ah, gotcha
<3> people drive like maniacs on 422
<1> yeah
<4> BuckWild: No. It's systematic. And has been shown by extensive studies. It is not a personal quakes, even those who have been trained in statistics and in skeptical, "right thinking" are affected by this phenomenon. It is simply a feature of our mind.
<1> i live on the curve basically
<3> how is it out there?
<4> s/quakes/traits/
<3> I know I could never live in king of prussia
<1> i like my neighborhood
<3> Tomomi, so people turn down a good deal even if they know it isn't one systematically?
<1> whe i look out my living room window i see valley forge park
<3> err isn't = is
<5> of course
<3> teebsgrrl, yeah, that's not bad
<5> people act against their best interests all the time
<3> Jet, I definitely wouldn't argue about that
<3> I've done that one myself
<3> haha
<1> good size lot, close to huighways to get places but not too close to neighbors
<6> Buck oFF
<3> teebsgrrl, that's cool
<0> ahaha.
<0> Stupid fatty.
<1> but i grew up on street over so i am fond of the area
<1> on/one
<3> teebsgrrl, I have a feeling sooner or later I'll probably end up living in that area because that's where all the tech jobs are at
<0> How was Whistler fatty?
<1> thast funny, casue my hubby works in baltimore
<4> BuckWild: No. Their jugement is skewed by varying factors included how the offered the reward as a loss or a gain, and other such factors. Our "rational judgement" is fundamentally irrational with regard to these kinds of judgments.
<3> teebsgrrl, that's one hell of a commute =P
<1> he does it one day a week, works from home the other 4
<3> Tomomi, so it's a good deal but to them it isn't better than what they have?
<0> Aight, samosa is here, I'm get drunk. brb.
<4> BuckWild: That's one example.
<3> teebsgrrl, not bad
<1> i work in the mall
<3> the king of prussia mall is strange
<1> why?
<3> I'd like to know why they broke it into sections
<3> and why I always seem to go into the wrong one
<1> broke it?
<3> yeah, there's more than one building
<1> it was build as 2 buildings, never was one
<3> yeah
<3> I mean, broke it into sections when they designed it
<5> Tomomi: are you talking about such simple things as,say, someone offering you a free car like "here, take this free car you ****ing ***hole!"... as opposed to being offered a free car less confrontationally?
<3> seems like a bad design to me
<1> the court, smaller one, was build as an indoor mall to begin with
<5> Tomomi: (obviously a severe example)
<1> the plaza was originally an outside shopping area
<3> teebsgrrl, all of a sudden things make more sense =P
<5> Tomomi: or is what you are discussing go deeper than simple emotional responses to the offer
<7> hey..is there a program that tells you the model of your motherboard?
<5> !info sandra
<0> CPU-Z.
<5> !google cpu-z

<0> I prolly won't be able to keep up, but **** it.
<0> Aight.
<6> get the TV stations
<6> tell 'em the messican kneegrow chink is in town
<4> Jet: I'm talking about a loss or gain phrased along the lines of "if you pick #1, you have a 50% chance of getting $100, if you choose #2, you have a 30% chance of getting $150" and that type of challenge.
<0> ahaha.
<5> Tomomi: ah
<1> BuckWild: i know the mall well b/c i have workd in it for voer 10yrs, but it nca be confusing to newbies
<0> samosa First time here this time of year?
<6> dunno
<3> Tomomi, I'd go #1
<6> looks like the same ****, different daze
<3> teebsgrrl, yeah, I was quite confuzzled when I went in there
<0> It'll be warm tomorrow.
<6> i wanna move here
<3> teebsgrrl, I found I was in the more expensive section and really needed the other building
<5> well, lotteries wouldn't work if people, in general, didn't choose long odds for big payoffs
<5> neither would casinos
<6> 3 months oudduh year
<5> or any form of gambling
<1> both building cna be epensive :)
<0> Seriously?
<4> Well, the point is, it's more or less axiomatic. More info written by Kahneman and Tversky.

<3> teebsgrrl, this is true
<0> Niiice dude.
<6> marketing decision

<9> hey xtr and samoa have you guys made out yet
<0> Yes.
<3> teebsgrrl, yeah, our managers got pay raises that weren't worth the extra responsibility. One lady got promoted to manager and ended up quitting it cuz she hated it and it was only 50 cents more per hour
<0> Phone ***.
<1> oh i got a 50% payraise
<0> Shuddap.
