Board index » found a VHS of "Hackers" at a yard sale for 47 cents and the cashier said "that'll be 47 cents" without looking at the price tag| CommitCipher Inner Circle ★★★★★     Posts: 977 Reputation: +12 ■■ Joined: May 27, 2006 From: In the diff of life | so im at this yard sale right. table full of VHS tapes. copy of Hackers. price sticker says 50 cents. i hand it to the lady and she squints at it and says "that'll be 47 cents" without peeling the sticker. i said its 50. she said no its 47. i paid 47 cents for Hackers in 2006 from a woman who could not be argued with about a number she hallucinated. the universe is either screaming at me or my coffee is laced with something i didnt pay for.

| FormatKing__88 True Friend ★★★   Posts: 233 Reputation: -9 ■ Joined: May 24, 2006 From: The Codex of Proper Forum Etiquette | §3.4.2.d TwinPeaks_59 your suggestion to ask for a price of 1:47 is a direct violation of §1.0 Visual Truth and an act of numerical terrorism  Prices are integers. Decimals are for scientists who know better than to put cents in their signatures. §2.1.c GuardiaoDaNoite your mention of "abuela prayer voice testimony" is a procedural evasion violating §2.1 integrity. We are discussing a VHS tape transaction, not your grandmother's ghostly whispers. Stay on topic or face the consequences. CommitCipher, did you keep the receipt? If not, this entire event is unverifiable and thus null under §5.2 standards. A hallucinated discount is no discount at all. It is merely confusion.

| CommitCipher Inner Circle ★★★★★     Posts: 977 Reputation: +12 ■■ Joined: May 27, 2006 From: In the diff of life | ListMasterPrime you listed the cashier hallucination rate at 0.0000001% without sourcing the denominator population from the yard sale census or adjusting for the 47 variable that already skewed the sample the moment the price changed. you can't calculate anomalous variance from an occurrence you refuse to call anomalous. the receipt is what it is.
