Delaware governor Markell is proposing an 8% pay cut for all state employees. In the comments, there's this gem from Moonrise:. Under Mackell this family is losing in the cost of medical plus takes a 16% pay cut. FAIR? Post a new comment. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post.

Via Not Always Right. You’re Just Compounding The Issue. Clothing Store Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. A customer had purchased a few items and was double-checking her receipt after the transaction went through. She had a membership card at the store, so she got a 10% discount.). So I got my discount on this? Yep, see there on each item it says ‘Member 10%’, and it shows what you saved. Waitis it 10% off each item, or 10% off the total? 10% off the total.

So, my bro-in-law,. Just got a job on the Delaware coast, this means that my sister. Is going to be moving back to the east coast for the first time in years. Within about a 2 1/2 hour drive (according to google maps) from where I live. I suppose that means we will be seeing her more often. Post a new comment. We will log you in after post.

Wow.: innumeracy

I couldn't think of a good reason why a 23 year old would not know how to measure 2/3 or 3/4 given a 1/3 or 1/4 measure.

141% more!: innumeracy
http://innumeracy.livejournal.com/11826.html
I saw an advert for a printer today that used the slogan Was kostet 141% mehr Format? A bit difficult to translate, since that use of Format is not idiomatic for me even in German, but literally What does 141% more format cost? I only saw it from afar (enough to see the slogan and two pictures of printers), but I presume they were referring to printers that could print on A3 rather than A4 paper. As you may know, the A series of paper sizes (defined in ISO 216. I’m guessing the confusion arose from the f...

There are a lot of problems with this article. About tax policy from an economic standpoint. (. Describes them nicely.) But the worst use of math is the curve in the graph. What the heck is it?
