Do you do simple math "out loud" in your head?

Or you could just multiply the two numbers, like a person, like a mensch. If you think 48 is a large number you have problems.

45*48
1600
320 1920
200 2120
40 2160
--------
2160



Yes, it's much more straightforward, since it doesn't involve an offset. Ohhh, I get it, you were making a getting drunk joke.

Don't take it personally, that's the kind of treatment you can expect here. People will give you **** because their pocket protectors are irritating them. The metrosexuals among them will spell it "◊◊◊◊◊" and in some cases their caregiver or partner will help them type "shiite" because they don't know how to type "◊◊◊◊◊".


No, I wasn't making a joke... well not entirely. No, I don't think 48 is a big number, but many people struggle multiplying two numbers larger than 20 in their head - which was the topic of conversation.

Not worried about swearing. I don't do it much, I expect when I do, I'll just let the language filters take it out. I tend not to try and get around the language filters out of habit.

How is converting ML to OZ easier than F to C? Most people at least know the forumlar for the latter. The first one, I tend to do estimates based on a Ltr~Qt. and having done a fair amount of cooking, but if there is an actual formula, feel free to enlighten me... I love to learn new things.

1. It's easier because there isn't an offset.

2. Most people don't know the "forumlar" for the latter.

3. Figuring out the formula is left as an exercise for the student. Of course there's a formula, but I'm too busy doing melonball shooters with the new waitress to explain it to you. But you've done a fair amount of cooking, so I'm sure you'll catch up.

I've busted your balls simply for sport. Others will do it because they lead nasty crusty empty pocket-protector lives and have no other pleasures. You go, girl.

Keep the secret, my precious love.

I ain't that precious...

Sorry, I misspoke... I assume most people have at least encountered the formula for the conversion from F to C in their lifetimes. For the life of me, I cannot recall the conversion for ML to OZ but life goes on...

The fun really begins when you ask the fellow with the pocket protector who just handed you the change "Don't you don't speak English?"

I always kept a dollar bill that I had put in nasty places on my body for customers like this, and I'm not the only one. Verbum sap.

Perhaps you'd enjoy this forum better if you had a brain. I'm sorry for your loss, and I'll encourage the prosthetics department to figure out something to occupy the empty space so that your cranium stops collapsing. That'll save you the plastic surgery charges to correct your prune face condition.

That's quite a piquant ad hominem zinger. This is the place where, in the past, I might have suggested something inappropriate, but today I shall simply say "Good one! You really got me there!"Quod homo dicet?
