Now I can’t stop thinking about Skeletor with bangs.

Hegar, in News nowadays adies and gentlemen

The IDF has already killed many many times more civilians, using many more missiles over many weeks, than Hamas has in a single major attack.

Despite that, this the cartoon depicts 3 panels of 3 missiles each from Hamas compared 1 panel of 1 missile from the IDF.

Given that overwhelming and disproportionate response has been Israeli policy for as long as I've been alive, it's fair to say that this comic deliberately misrepresents reality

Are you trying to sell us on it because it’s working.

My god End Game was trash. It qas terribly rushed. They should’ve just ended it in Infinity war with a cliff hanger.

kandoh,

I wonder what the impact of that would be on the population psychologically.

socsa,

Rushed, and yet still somehow way too long.

CertifiedBlackGuy,

Shoulda been a trilogy with a proofreader

rahmad, in Go watch Invasion if you don't believe me

Not enough shoutouts for Shrinking here…

Ted Lasso is definitely holding up the platform, no disagreement, but there’s some other great content there as well. Prehistoric Planet, too.

jivandabeast,

Shrinking was really fire

Severance is brilliant

chiliedogg,

Ted Lasso and Shrinking are both made by Bill Lawrence, who also made Spin City, Scrubs, and Cougar Town.

It’s not Apple that makes the shows good.

rahmad, (edited )

Apple licenses the content from the creators – that’s true of almost every network and many film distributors as well.

Few distributors make their content in house. 'Netflix Original ’ doesn’t mean it was made by ‘Netflix Studios’ – they don’t exist. What happened was (for a series) that either a complete season or a pilot was shopped around, and Netflix bought the (exclusive) rights, which made that piece of content a Netflix Original. For films, they have usually already been made and are in a limited theatrical run (eg. Festivals) or are being shopped around privately. I imagine a limited few have distribution deals made prior to production, but that’s still not ‘Netflix’ (or Apple) making that content.

Apples launch content (eg. Ted Lasso) was produced to prop up the platform, but the method by which that content was discovered, funded and then licensed is not much different from how a traditional network (like NBC) might function.

Shrinking is right up there with Ted Lasso - the only two shows I subscribed to Apple TV for. Lol

WTF why did no one mention this to me when I was struggling with math as a kid?

BaronDoggystyleVonWoof,

Seriously, why didn’t anyone?! Would have made my life much easier.

they absolutely taught you the commutative property and transitive property

bingbong,

Yeah but they clearly taught it poorly

Easy way to do %

Say you want 6% of 45

Seems hard right?

1% of 45 is .45

.45 × 6 =

.4 × 6 = 2.4

.05 × 6 = .3

2.4 + .3 = 2.7

So 6% of 45 is 2.7

Extra:

Say you want an item that is 40 dollars and it is 20% off.

10% is 4 dollars.

20% is 8 dollars.

So item would be 32 dollars.

plz1,

that’s a shitload of lines of math to write out/work in your head. I learned percentages of x as: 6 * 45 / 100 = x (2.7) If you picture both as fractions, you multiply the opposite and then divide by the other number to get the missing one (x). Hopefully Lemmy renders this well…

6 x
100 45

The way I learned it was multiply diagonally and then divide by whatever is opposite diagonally to x.

thisfro, (edited )

They probably did, just not explicitly:

You could write (61/100)50 = 6(501/100)

It only uses the commutative property of multiplication and the fact that % is another way of writing 1/100.

Maybe also worth remembering that “x% of y” is just x/100*y

ikiru,

I’m confused again.

thisfro,

By what part?

Mewtwo,
@Mewtwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I’m sorry but you have the big dumb

Ravi,

The word percent is exactly that per cent, which basically means parts of hundred. E.g. 10% are 10 of 100, or 60% are 60 of 100. You can also write this mathematically as 60/100 or 60÷100, which is 0.6.

Now in general: x% are x parts of 100 or x/100 or x÷100. If you want to calculate x% of y you just multiply it: y × x% = y × x ÷ 100.

Someasy,

This is one of those “maths is magical” moments, I guess.

@capt_wolf@lemmy.world avatar

I totally remember being taught this. It’s just way easier to break down percentages in terms of the nearest 1% or 10% times the number in the percent times the number you’re taking the percentage of. You don’t have to do the math for the 1 or 10 percentage as long as you remember that a 10% means move the decimal left once and 1% means move the decimal left twice. The rest is just basic multiplication.

40% of 59 = 10% of 59 times 4.

So…

4x59=236

or

(4x50=200) + (4x9=36)= 236

10% means move the decimal left once,

Therefore 40% of 59 is 23.6

With that you can easily do more complex percentages mentally like…

62% of 35 = 10% of 35 times 6 plus 1% of 35 times 2.

35x6=180+30=210 at 10% so 21

plus

35x2=60+10=70 at 1% so 0.7

Therefore 62% of 35 = 21.7

_cnt0,

While I get your sentiment, I’m always baffled how people fail to just memorize some basic formulas/equations and then just to plug and play:

1÷kⁿ = k⁻ⁿ

% = 1÷100 = 10⁻²

k×10ⁿ equals k with its floating point shifted by n to the right for positive n, or to the left for negative n

That’s really all one needs to know for the “problem” at hand. For your concrete example of “40% of 59” that would just be

59×40×10⁻²

Just solve that whatever way is easiest. I don’t get why people get panic-stricken when they see the % sign.

benignintervention, in Panther Missle LAUNCH

I read those stories like 20 years ago. Good to see them coming up again! Is he still writing?

I think so. I’m in the same boat as you. Last book of his I bought when it came out was the silent blade.

Dude you just tickled a part of my brain I haven’t thought about Ina long time. These books filled a ton of empty time at a call center job back in the day.

Funny when that happens. I think I set them down in 2000 and never picked them up again.

His Canticle series is pretty good tbf

I thought he died.

Don’t forget Boomer movies. So many classics that we have all collectively forgotten about. Personally, I’m getting into Westerns.
