  1. Have y’all been to Five Guys Inflation and Fries

    If you made $15 an hour you'd be dirt poor. 50 years ago people were, adjusted for real inflation, paid a lot more than what is now $15 an hour.
  2. Can you old guys do math?

    An interesting advantage of base six is that on 10 (decimal) fingers you can count to 35 (decimal) instead of only to.. well.. 10. With one hand you go between 0-5, and on the other hand you hold the tens (seximal, in decimal it would be 6).
  3. Can you old guys do math?

    The minds of people with too much time on their hands. I don't, off the top of my head, know of a conventional use for base 6. Base 2 is obviously used extensively in computer hardware, and for that matter so too is base 16 for software. We use a quasi base-60 system for measuring time. Like...
  4. Can you old guys do math?

    In base 3, 2+2 would = 11. That's pretty close.
  5. Can you old guys do math?

    Since no one has guessed correctly so far, I guess it's time to give the solution. 10 - 1 = 5. I'll list all of the equations again before explaining this solution. 2 . 2 = 4 2 + 3 = 5 11 + 11 = 22 52 - 34 = 14 (12 / 2) . 3 = 40 - 20 All of these equations are mathematically valid under a...
  6. Can you old guys do math?

    From what I've heard, math like this is part of what they teach in public school nowadays. Edit: Also, here's one final hint before I just give out the solution. People keep pointing out "52-34=14". I only added the tens place to make this hint less obvious. Here is more or less the same...
  7. Can you old guys do math?

    They're not wrong; they're clues. I'll also give another hint, although this one might seem a bit vague. Notice every digit of those equations. 1 is a digit. 2 is a digit. 54 is the digits "5" and "4". Notice something about the digits if you can.
  8. Can you old guys do math?

    wrong, wrong and wrong. There's a reason why I didn't just ask '10-1=?" and instead gave those list of equations prefaced with "Given the following..." I'll give you guys just one hint: If those equations aren't wrong then would what X equal? And before you ask, this whole topic is 110% a...
  9. Can you old guys do math?

    Let's see if any of you guys can do new math. The first to solve this wins brownie points and bragging rights. Given the following... 2 . 2 = 4 2 + 3 = 5 11 + 11 = 22 52 - 34 = 14 (12 / 2) . 3 = 40 - 20 Therefore, solve 10 - 1 = X Edit: The solution is now on page 3. Enjoy.
  10. College student was gunned down in Georgia early Saturday morning after a professor from her school opened fire at the car she was sitting in.

    The media lies about these shootings so much more than they don't that it wouldn't be wise to automatically believe what has been reported. Wanting the facts of the case before condemning a man is the prudent course of action. Automatically assuming anyone's guilt is what's wrong.
  11. College student was gunned down in Georgia early Saturday morning after a professor from her school opened fire at the car she was sitting in.

    I'm not doubting you at all. That's what you're telling me, I told you what someone else told me, and I don't know what to think about any of it.
  12. College student was gunned down in Georgia early Saturday morning after a professor from her school opened fire at the car she was sitting in.

    Are you implying that my telephone-game level journalism isn't 100% dead accurate? You're hurting my precious snowflake feelings :'( In all seriousness though, that's just what I've heard. Taking it with a whole salt-shaker is recommended.
  13. College student was gunned down in Georgia early Saturday morning after a professor from her school opened fire at the car she was sitting in.

    Super reliable information to take to the bank here guys. I know someone who says they read on a Facebook post.... Well from the City of Carrollton Police Facebook page, but still take it with a grain of salt... that the guy was in some kind of disagreement with one of the male friends of the...
  14. College student was gunned down in Georgia early Saturday morning after a professor from her school opened fire at the car she was sitting in.

    You're probably right. We can't solve this case, so maybe what we're doing amounts to gossip.
  15. College student was gunned down in Georgia early Saturday morning after a professor from her school opened fire at the car she was sitting in.

    You'd kill a man just because of what other say about him? We have trails for a reason. Evidence will be presented instead of just the claims of other people. If he did what they say then hopefully he's punished, but you can't discount the possibility that things didn't go down exactly as you...
  16. Movies as a kid that changed you

    Here's one you might not expect. I saw Men in Black as a child. There was some scene where one of the main characters went on a short tirade that he would only drive the speed limit because he didn't want to contribute more to global warming than he had to and that the planet was dying as a...
  17. Why is Shell Oil continuing to buy oil from Russia?

    I'm going to go out of my way to use shell next time I fill up my tank. If the mainstream media hates Russia this much then they must be doing something right.
  18. Magnitude 2.6 Earthquake up here west of the Blue Ridge area.

    Clearly the work of global climate change. /s
  19. FedEx Austell Hub

    I had a package that took two weeks to get out of there. I have relatives who had packages take even longer.
