@Kittenwaffin@CBP "Yeah this guy tried to smuggle smoked rat into the US, but we still think he can be an upstanding citizen if we just give him a second chance!"
@ctdonath@Oilfield_Rando With the way people are *rightfully* talking about the foreign invasion of the West, I get the sense that the finger is solidly on the switch and we probably aren't far away from it flipping. And it will get UGLY when that happens.
@CaseyPutsch I don't think this is really all that bad, but I will say there really needs to be a greater respect and reverence for the People's House than what is present in this administration or what was present in a few administrations past.
@niklassheth@LinkofSunshine The amount of interest you would gain to be exactly double would be mathematically at about the 3.8 year mark. But since it only compounds once each year, you wouldn't actually receive that interest until year 4.
@niklassheth@LinkofSunshine I believe I misunderstood you. Yes, if you are only counting the interest on January 1 each year and not continuously, then you would round the answer up to 4 years.
@niklassheth@LinkofSunshine The 1.2^x is exponential so that factors in the annual compounding. If it were doing it non-compounding based only on the original value, then the equation would be 2=1+0.2x -> 1=0.2x -> x=5 years
