What's the implication? Am I naïve? I just thought it was traditionally a man's hobby with little interest from women, just as most men mostly aren't very interested in crochet.
I think that's called "lowest common denominator" politics and whilst I understand why it could seem like the natural thing to do, it's not something I'll be taking part in.
I've said for a while that I would be absolutely unsurprised to see another Trump term, we live in the post-satire era.
I think a lot of people need to have a good hard look at themselves due to the ridicule and derision they directed at the opposition electorate rather than trying to engage them and win them over.
I agree that it could just be a poor choice of words and it could just be an insult, if you think he's evil, a cunt or whatever else say that instead though.
I'm getting tired of the comments that imply not stupid = smart.
I understand that intelligence is on a scale and that is not a black and white issue. I also understand that wealth ≠ intelligence, however in this case I do believe that he has at least average intelligence.
This is the last "Elon Musk is not a genius" type comment that I'm replying too, I've said all I have to say on the matter.
I'm not claiming he's a genius. Just saying he's not stupid.
The image you shared doesn't actually prove anything, it's a difference of opinion unless you can source what he actually said. And at the end of the day, you don't need to be a bean expert to run a successful baked bean company, you just need to know how to hire bean experts.
Quick! Let's shut the country down for a year, spend £250 billion on things that have no intrinsic value and then act surprised when we get a shit load of inflation and a cost of living crisis.
It's not about the size of the number, it's about presenting information in a way that the average reader can understand. The best way to do that is to present it in the way that they're accustomed to and I don't think I've ever seen scientific notation used to refer to a sum of money.
It's great that you and I understand scientific notation, but it's worthlesss when you're trying to get the average person to understand what you're writing if they don't know it themselves.
To make myself clear, I'm not saying that scientific notation isn't useful, I'm just saying that most people don't understand it.
For extra credit, 74,500,000,000,000,000 aka seventy four quintillion, five hundred quadrillion.
Not really. Most people aren't familiar with scientific or engineering notation. Writing £1,000,000, one million pounds or £1Million is a lot clearer than writing £1×10^6.
