Now you and Barack have been getting on fine on here, but we are going to fall out if you use the word Math

 

Its effing Maths...Its plural, Math means taking an equasion and doing nothing with it, Its short for mathematics not mathematic, and I could forgive if it was used in that way as the greek word Mathema which is singular for that which is learned, but to use it in one of the mathematical sciences such as algebra, geometry etc or in your case calculus, then its plural.

 

You dont say do the arith for the pedants on here, nor ariths, its do the sums and the singular answer is the sum

 

Rant over, I can forgive all americanisms appart from that one, sorry for that!!!

 

anyhoo  is that in Nevada? which pretty much is just Clark county, unless rattlesnakes get a vote?

Thank you, Hagar, for an excellent, learned and accurate rant. I had been biting my tongue and politely wrote "sums" in my last post.

 

I hadn't seen someone using calculus - I must go back and find it. Impressive stuff and proper maths. The rest is arithmetic and when I did my O Grades, Arithmetic was separate from Maths - which is how it should be. Everyone needs arithmetic; fewer people need maths.

I have neglected Alaska in all of this, but is there a reason why they have done the square root of hee haw?

They're about 10 hours behind us, aren't they? Only just getting out their scratchers just now. As others have said, they're as red as they come. Sarah Palin's their poster girl, FFS.

10 hours? More like 30 years.

I think you've quoted the wrong post, so as far as I'm concerned you can stick your pedantry up your ar.

😉

Sorry where its due, but so long as nobody esle uses Math wrongly, I am all for invading America to take back ownership on that one point alone, it rips my knitting

 

Anyhoo its only 60% of the mail votes to win Penn for Biden, the trend is about 80%

And they are mail in ballots that will favour Biden heavily. Stick a fork in 45.

 

Last I heard mail votes have been running around 80% Biden.

6-1 on to win at the bookies with the Repubs 11-2 against.

 

Trump really ought to be banned from Twitter for his own good. He's an embarrassment to himself, let alone his country.


Biden should sign an executive order branding him a terrorist, hate preacher and arrest the absolute ***********

Even though he doesn't have to leave until january.

An old school Gentleman. 

Trump clearly doesn't have that same level of respect or class. 

He'd have gained a lot of respect had he conceded, wished Joe well and tried to encourage everyone, including his own supporters to get behind Joe for the good of the nation. 

Instead he's trying to call the whole thing into disrepute and will no doubt try to stock hatred and violence as a last resort.

This one brings a lump to the throat. Just to think how far that country has fallen in 12 short years.

I didn't see it at the time; I was working overseas with a colleague who is a strong Democrat and wanted to take me out to celebrate with him. I didn't see much at all that night!

 

If you look around Youtube, you'll also find clips of McCain rebuffing some of his supporters for asking dumb-ass questions revolving around Obama being a horned devil or somesuch shite. He was a good man.

He reportedly drinks 10 diet cokes a day. He will simply piss where he can't shit.

Stuffing the curtain poles with prawns.

 

I seriously wouldn't put it past him to chorey sackfuls of the posh cutlery and candlesticks. They should count the effing lightbulbs and make sure he gives back all the keys and the copies he's made.

A class act who would be disgusted at the behaviour of the soon to be departing president.

The Trumpets beginning to see the reality of what's coming. Facebook fighting to take down calls for violence. And we can expect Trump to stoke the flames. So much for democracy.

You'll have noticed that no-one in the Bush family endorsed Trump.

If Arizona goes to Biden, as now seems likely, I wonder if Trump will have the mental wherewithal to regret his insults to John McCain. His childishness and stupidity might have cost him that state.

That's a good shout. Could well be. It hadn't previously voted Dem in about 20 years.

Most of the mail in ballots are votes for Biden, as it’s been said they advocated that because of the pandemic. Trump and the Republicans rallied against it so their voters did it on the day, those votes were counted first before mail in votes. You could send your vote in on Tuesday so they might just be getting them now, and Forces votes have ten days to arrive. Looks good for Biden but Trump will never accept he was beaten, for various reasons.

Down to Covid, Biden promoted the postal vote, where trump thought is was more macho to turn up and vote on the day

Strategy.

 

Communicated getting votes in early in part in case of Covid and long queues to vote, or not get in

 

Trump.

 

Covid is fake, get your backside out and queue. 

 

Highly simplistic observation.

They asked their voters to do it to save them from queuing and risking catching or spreading the virus, the in the day votes were counted first so majority of those still not counted ate for Biden. Why Trump said it’s fraud and to stop counting them.

Which is fine. The fact he is explaining exactly what's happened & what's being done in line with election laws, is purely for the GOP's benefit.

The irony of Cubans in Florida supporting Trump because they don't want a Castro. As Trump tries to hobble an election and made it clear all along he was going to.
