I'm done with Levis (Rant)

[smstonypoint]

If mathematical ability in the general population is N(mu, sigma[SUP]2[/SUP]), he would have been at least mu + eight*sigma.

Note to Self

Stop embarrassing myself by trying to do calculations in my head.

It would take only 5.15 standard deviations from the mean to be in the top 1,000 out of a population of 7.5 billion.

Can you resay that in normal every day redneckian? :confused2:

I don't think those are concepts that we math idiots and rednecks were evolved to process. We just have to trust that someone can process them and that they are probably right most of the time but may occasionally make mistakes that we would neither catch nor understand. ;-)

I think I missed a deviation.

"I've given up on Levis years ago. I like Carhartt, pricey but they last. Ebay for best price. You gotta watch the brass rivets though, they scratch the guitar.

I used to have to wear decent casual pants for work. My work involved mostly training Army enlisted with frequent trips to "the field". I always envied their cargo pants and finally about 2002 I switched to "Proppers".
They wore well, looked decent and I could fit an 11" laptop in the cargo pocket, which I frequently did.
My motto was that a computer was a great tool IF you could use it when needed. Then about 2014 the Proppers quality seemed to decline and they started wearing out in a year or so, usually only worn about three days a week during October through May, when I would switch to shorts.
So I switched to Duluth Firehose. Cargo pockets fit my netbook just fine.
I really like their Fire Hose Briar Pants (no cargo pockets ) for working around in the woods they really do resist brairs.

So much for Duluth. Their five pocket, USA made jeans are $84.

Well, the same version but imported is $50. Sigh.

But they are worth it if bought at 25% off.

I was happy with Wranglers UNTIL my wife FINALLY talked me into trying Duluth Firehose pants!!

Now I won't wear anything else, I just love the insulated pants in the winter, and the non insulated in the summer. All the pockets are REALLY nice for "us" that work outdoors and have uses for them.


Best part is, IF you are EVER unhappy with a pair, they will replace them! Even if they are torn or ? ...

So, I've not liked the way Levi's 550s were fitting me the last couple years. My wonderful physique probably has a lot to do with that. Recently the wife bought me a pair of 505s to try. Much better. I am pleased again.

Hmmm.. might have to give Levi's another round. Been a Carhartt jean guy the last few years because my lower half (and upper half for that matter) has morphed a bit.

I remember I bought this pair of Levis back in the late 80. They had some stretch to them and were pleated. Supposed to be a little more dressy. This Biker Dude was obviously amused and asked if my Old Lady Ironed my Jeans? I don't think I wore them again after that.

Com'n IT... that was a compliment.
