Another one for th'owd 'uns. Best 70s piano-based theme tune?
the hanged man theme is the king of seventies cop show music (even though it barely fits) bit let down by the two ronnies using it as a joke. but great anyway

Numeracy
the same reason i cant tell if a bill goes up by 154% and what that means. dont trust that way. multiplying percentages and adding percentages , daft. might be the wording , too. so figured out 1 ÷ 1.2 = 0.8333 . at least i can tell whats happening. seems finite. folk struggling with numbers is totally imaginable. i cant really fault folk for not getting it.

Numeracy
if its 20% , its still a tough question. but multiply the figure by 0.83333 . 29.75 x 0.83333... = £24.79 24.79 x 1.2 = 29.75 decimal works easier than percentages imo

Numeracy
when you see a newspaper headline that sez "bills increase 154%" i never have a clue what that means. mainly because i never know whether the hundered percent includes the original value or not. if the original bill is a tenner , is the new one £15.40 or £25.40 ? if the orginal bill is an odd number youve got no chance of figuring it out . i was told that the hundred percent IS the original number, so its A. but the newspaper usually goes off it being B. adding or multipling percentages is ambiguous as owt

Bury
im pretty sure ive mentioned this before (and you might know already anyway, but) that didnt work in Northwich , think the vics where waiting on their owner being bombed out, but he hung on for ages, so they got a rebel club going as Plan B. Then the same day(literally) he got forced out over court and debts and what have you. think they play in the same division now. both in other nearby teams grounds in exile. Pretty weird how similar that is (northwich) to this (bury).

? the first line is straightforward , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Redskins_football the second is a joke based on alternate theories about the population of the americas , like in this book- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10948502-across-atlantic-ice and the 'controversy' around the cleveland indians name. fair enough if you dont know , but i didnt make owt up. i didnt quote the post i was refering to because it was the post above mine. Pretty sure this is simillar to the "i hate the theme from Boon" from a music thread the other day. Folk arent making up things when they talk.

simillar to that ^ , is when the reserve quarterback plays a few at the right time , does well , then gets big money off another team , but does nowt matt flynn a bit back subbing for arron rodgers then russell wilson outdid him in preseason in seattle brock osweiler in denver subbing for pmanning , houston paid up $ but got shut pretty quick. the Washington Redskins will probably trade for deshaun watson or cam newton. summat stupid.

the "i threw away a drive with x on it" isnt true , they only lose them when its worth loads. it was worth around $130 in 2013 for 11 months , if he had 7500 of them then they were worth just under a million dollars. Then. it goes up like a rocket around november to around $1000 . thats 7.5 million dollars. " so when he had a clear out, he believed everything had been taken off it." as he'd "totally forgot about bitcoin" , so from inference he didnt copy it, he either wiped it or more likely threw it away as is. In 2013. when his holding was worth a million dollars. yeah, no. https://www.newsweek.com/man-accidentally-threw-bitcoin-worth-108m-trash-says-theres-no-point-crying-726807 . its a copy and pasted story "a copypasta" from someone else. he's got his name in the paper. the HODL thing is because no one uses bitcoins as money, they use it like Gold. heres a jpeg of it in the style of the Run DMC logo the " puts sunglasses on , the who music plays" is a CSI Miami David Caruso thing. everyone in the world has thrown money away or forgotten a password.

The official Wigan are shit thread
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administration_(British_football) its been Six Months , roughly . Port Vale were the last club that were under it longer , eight years ago , for about 8 months. muh corona , but come on.. bury got fucked over by a dick we could all see. wigan scammed folk using 'an' anonymous chinamen laundering money, and the boat gets pushed out. he apparantly looks like this- at least the Stanley Choi dude has more photos up than that, he's mostly sat at card tables, but they look less "computer generated" than the sole passport looking pose from the next guy . its fucking dodgy as fuck.
