  • Mathematicians know wolfram is wrong and it was warned in my maths degree that you should “over bracket” in WA to make yourself understood. They tried hard to make it look like handwritten notation because reading maths from a word processor is typically tough and that creates the odd edge case like this.

    1/2x does not equal 0.5x or it’d be written x/2 and I challenge you to find a mathematician who would argue differently. There’s no ambiguity and claiming there is because anyone anywhere is having this debate is like claiming the world isn’t definitely round because some people argue its flat.

    Sometimes people are wrong.





  • Not sure I agree there, the term win/win suggests they’ve listed both possibilities and both are a win. It implies a no lose scenario and therefore that all options have been presented.

    Buying a lottery ticket I could win £10 or I could win £10 million, it’s win/win!


  • I’d just like to point out that OP is either lying or has been scammed.

    Starbucks have consistent pricing and the most expensive sandwich in the UK is £5.10, technically 5.25 for a plant based breakfast item, see here for full menu prices.

    But people like getting angry at cost of living issues right now (understandably) so this will get hundreds of upvotes despite being a lie.
