@TrevDon 8/9 (no Weird Science)

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon Not even a good fold; certainly not acceptable to me. Flip-N-Fold for the win!

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon 8/9. I've watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles so many times. Never Little Women. The others at least once, but not much more.

@TrevDon We lost the artistic striving in our lives, the "frivolous" and the "useless", and replaced it with strict adherence to utilitarianism. Who cares what it looks like if it works as-is? Beauty is excess. Elegance is unnecessary. Inspiring is antithetical to existence.

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon the right only because I absolutely don't like the left, but not a huge fan of the right, either.

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon all but Weird Science. wish I had never seen Some Kind of Wonderful [at college at time, months of hype at theater... for that? more like Some Kind of Terrible. Sorry-ish if that's your fave movie]

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon and here in Houston (and Texas in general), our high by Saturday NEXT WEEK will be 101°. That's the lowest high for the week.

@amuse $1.58B is payout over 20 years (or whatever). Current value is amount invested to produce that income over the period. Cash option provides the upfront amount only. Then you're taxed on the amount you take, whether lump sum or over time (taxed yearly).

@StaciKay_Aggie @TrevDon If the bat is $1, that makes the ball is 10¢, the difference in price being 90¢.

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon 1.05.

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon Yes, yes I do.

@SupermanOnFilm She also had zero chemistry with Lois Lane.

@TrevDon I don't think there's enough money in the world for me to do this.

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon left, but nothing against right

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon Watched/experienced most of it first-hand. A few things were later because college (only watched MTV).

[jacktx42 @jacktx42]

@TrevDon 58 is correct BECAUSE of PEMDAS. In lieu of any other grouping, ÷ and × performed L-R (same for +/- at their time). ÷ only applies to next item; so × by inverse to simplify, and rewriting:
6² × ½ × 3 + 4
= ((36 × ½) × 3) + 4
= (18 × 3) + 4
= 54 + 4 = 58.

@CitizenK9s @CK9store Lovely companions! Outstanding cloud formation.
