Trump's Second Term

[JayUtah]

But he said the existing price was over £1,300 rather than that it was $1,300.

If you increase $199 by 578% you get $1,349.22

Fair enough.

In my company we encourage our senior technical staff to do outreach. One of our senior staff tutors students in basic math in preparation for apprenticeships as electricians, pipefitters, etc. It's basic construction math: how to read a tape measure, how to convert between fractions and decimals, and how to reckon percentages. After some experience he discovered that the biggest mistake students make in working with percentages is using the wrong denominator in problems expressed such as, "How much is [some value] after a 30% reduction?" Hence he shifted his teaching method to hammer home early on how the denominators are supposed to work. When do you use the bigger value? When do you use the earlier value (regardless of magnitude)? Sounds like Pres. Trump might need to do some remedial homework before he can pass the pipefitter's entrance exam.

Remember when Ziggy claimed that we were all silly for saying that Trump wants to cancel/steal the elections?

It doesn't matter if they believe what they say, it still helps to know what they think, although how they got there is magical thinking (dark).

 

[thaiboxerken]

Well, they think whatever Trump tells them to think.

 

[Darat]

Well, they think parrot whatever Trump tells them to think parrot.

FTFY

 

[Mojo]

Of course they love that stuff... but they will pretend they don't.

No, they'll pretend it didn't happen.

Donald reportedly wants to rename Dulles Airport and New York's Penn Station after himself.

He asked for Senator Chuck Schumer's support, offering to release the Gateway infrastructure project's funding in exchange.

Meet him half-way and call them Dullard's Airport and Sharpie Station.

I hope the next president names a waste disposal facility after him. Or a sewage treatment facility.

Or just the sewage.

If you multiply $199 by 6.78 (i.e. 1 + 5.78) you get pretty much exactly $1,350 which is "more than $1,300" and I suspect was the original price.

He's just trolling with the Trumpmath thing now but I suspect the arithmetic is right, only the method is defiantly stupid.

I think he doesn't understand that there's a difference between markup and discount.

A sewage outlet would be apt. All sewage outlets would be more apt.

Over here there was a campaign a few years back to get the OED to recognise "farage" as the term for the rancid liquid that collects at the bottom of dustbins.

There's already one called Donald J Trump. Actually one at each end.

 

[shemp]

A sewage outlet would be apt. All sewage outlets would be more apt.

A sewage pipe that runs right through his casket. And leaks into it.

A tad offensive to the liquid don't you think? Mind you, I do say that the worst part of walking dogs is having to bag and bin their Farages.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

Someone quote me in case you-know-who has me on ignore.

A sewage outlet would be apt. All sewage outlets would be more apt.

Heck, just make a 'trump' a synonym for sewage outlets.

Yes, that's what I meant by 'all sewage outlets'. And there's your quote for you know who.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Or just the sewage.

That big floating trash island in the Pacific.

That's a bit unfair: dog ◊◊◊◊ is useful (if you're a tanner).
