I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anti-Cthulhu PSA for young netizens

Hee!

I don't know anything about this PSA advising young people to stay away from chat rooms lest the cute boy on the other end turn out to be Cthulhu, waiting to take their sanity, but I certainly support its message.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

math question - not sure why I can't fuigure this out.

I have a total amount on an invoice and I know the tax rate, but I can't figure out how to get the pre-tax amount and tax amount.

X = original amount. (x *.08375) + x = $20959.39

my brain is sad this morning.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So,

x * (1+.08375) = 20959.39

x = 20959.39 / 1.08375

x = 19339.69

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

(x • 0.08375) + x = $20959.39

1.08375 • x = $20959.39

x = $20959.39 ÷ 1.08375

x = $19339.69
