Each digit takes you up a power of two (so, a doubling) (in base 10, it's powers of ten). I'm used to base 2 and base 16; I never worked much in base 8 so I can't do it fast.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
if my answer matched any of the multiple choices
Ah. When I write multiple-choice tests, I include the right answer, one clearly wrong answer, and three answers that fit the most common errors for the question.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm trying to design an apron with my friend from Columbus. Black with ruffles and a logo that says, "Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies. Made Fresh Daily." With a pie with a knife cutting into it and the quote, "Worst pies in London."
Possibly with a small, ruffled pocket that looks like it's dripping blood.

I'm sure I could understand it, eventually. But someone would have to explain it very slowly and in small words.

I like that Cashmere. Sounds very cute.

Well, we won't talk about BCD (binary coded decimal) in here, either, then.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That sounds faboo, Cash.
Also? Binary numbers are hurting my brain. ouch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
BCD is just a travesty.

Ahhh, that's what the clock is in. More or less. I didn't know there was a term for it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Hi all, back from work, where this week they have me starting at 9am, two hours earlier than usual. Next week instead of my normal 11 Am start that I enjoyed for three years until two weeks ago, we have the first meeting of what will be an every-other-week help desk meeting...At 6am. (Of course, that means I have to get up at 4, to get on the road by 5 am.)
In other work-related hijinks...
They are talking about having an "incentive" at work to make sure we send out only equipment that is positively needed at a site. If the part that comes back tests OK, they will deduct the shipping form our bonuses.
Incentive. George Orwell is alive.
