For a while I’ve been meaning to memorize all the two digit squares but of course I then fail to practice them, so I’m not very far along. But that would help you with this too, not to mention you can start doing some square roots too.
For quick and dirty I’d probably just go with 37*38 = 40*40 -> 16% which is kinda close to 14% eh?
Yeah seriously with 100 psi it’s all zeros after the decimal. Look how precise you can get when you convert to bar.
You got me thinking about this. I thought it would be more common in the classical era with key names in the title, like Sonata in Eb or whatever. Having chatted with an LLM about it, that case doesn’t seem that common once you start considering Opus and Symphony numbers. I think you have to be a bit tricky to pretend that this happens often during that era (or maybe the opus numbers came after? I don’t know).
But in “modern” pop it looks like it happens a lot (from ChatGPT):
“Hello” • Adele — F minor • Lionel Richie — F minor
“Crazy” • Gnarls Barkley — G minor • Aerosmith — G minor
Which case / level of pedantism were you thinking of?
x/100 * y = x * 1/100 * y = x * y/100
I never would have thought of it myself and still feel like I should have thought of it myself.
I keep thinking about this angle. Maybe it’s a case of a double standard being ok? Like if some group of people are like “Don’t worry about me, I don’t need any empathy” and others say, “I hope you will show me empathy” then I don’t see why a single standard has to be applied.
Not sure if you agree with this analogy but for example as a male, I don’t mind if a woman says something to me that might be considered intimidating if the roles were reversed. Sure, I need to be mindful of whether she might cause harm to someone who isn’t me, but again, I don’t need to apply a single universal approach to myself if I know in my heart it’s not necessary.
Anyway, maybe the stronger rebuttal is “That’s not what he meant”.
