    What I especially like is when she argues with someone who has the knowledge and/or expertise in a particular area (q.v. @Demiurge in the Pardon thread), then accuses them of reading comprehension problems because they don't agree with her.

    This is rich. @garamet never contributes anything, and assy only has extreme math errors when he chicken littles. I am still waiting for the US death toll to reach one million. According to exponential increases he was predicting based on "old guy on the internet" math in the red room the OS should be at trillions of deaths by now.

    The two of you need to put your heads on straight before the marbles fall out.

    That's hilarious coming from you. When you tell blatantly sexist jokes, then refuse to acknowledge it.

    Other factors when calculating wage differences over time - https://www.in2013dollars.com/uk/inflation/1843?amount=15

    So, 15 pounds in 1843 is equal to 1,918.39 in 2020.

    1,918.39 * 52 = 99,756.28 pounds annually. https://www.google.com/search?q=1,9.....69i57j6.15632j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

    and that translates to 133,483.88 in US dollars.https://www.google.com/search?q=con...20i263j0l5.4368j1j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

    Assy doesn't know math. For that matter neither does the wordsmith. If he did know math the human race would have been wiped out by COVID by now.

    He must mean Tasvir when we'd call him Asvir?

    According to Rimjob Bob, era slang for a shilling (like quid is a pound today).
    And if 15 bob were .75 quid, one shilling would be .05 pound in 1843.

    Bob = Shilling.

    20 shillings to a pound. So 15 shillings = 0.75 pounds.

    So do your calculation again but instead of putting in "15 pounds" put in "0.75 pounds".

    Oh, and lots of other people have already explained every single point of this. In comments you've replied to and everything. So, you've clearly read them.

    You DO read posts that you reply to, right?
