Nate is the type of dude who always tries to go for your mom as a joke but actually has a crush on her. He will deny his feelings but he’s always into moms especially soccer moms. He’s the funniest person you will meet only because you think he’s joking most of the time but he’s not. He always uses sarcasm.

(verb)
to add spurious adjustable parameters and/or random noise to a predictive model to enable the model to appear to include a wider variety of outcomes than the fundamental mechanism of the model actually includes
to artificially inflate your estimate of a very unlikely event occurring to ~30% with no justification within your model, simply so you can cover your ass should the unlikely event occur, all while retaining the option to claim that you predicted, with better than 2/3rd probability, that the unlikely event would not occur.

The coolest guy ever. He's an amazing friend and is always there when you need him. He seems distant, but when you get to know him you'll never let him go. He can break a girl's heart, but he never means too. Also, gives the best hugs and gifts.
Nate's are the best
