Yikes! 12 decades of cigarette ash in the birthday cake!
(There! See how easily I changed the subject to cigarette smoking! :)

sigh..what about the good ol days when we had 44 hostages in Iran and could only buy gas every other day? /s
David Reaboi Verified account @davereaboi I’m hearing that Iranian social media networks are going nuts in celebration. Iranians I know are overjoyed. Of course they are.
And, I do like you, too, greeneyes, but you are either a master disruptor or hopelessly mistaken. I think the latter, and I remain hopeful for your redemption.
*********************************************************************************
Since I had already stopped with this discussion, I don’t know why in the world you had to drag me back in. I am not a master disruptor, and I think any review of my history would show that-I rarely argue on and on about stuff. State my opinion, but rarely get into a lengthy discussion. And I frankly don’t care for that mischaracterization of me.
Nor am I hopelessly mistaken. I am a mathematician and accountant, so tend to be precise with respect to numbers, and perhaps more precise than I should be-but you are the one that started this again.
The point I originally was trying to make was that saying someone was living in their 90th decade when they were only in their 70s brought to mind a 90 year old.
Further more, I care not one whit whether you start the decade on 1/1/2020 or 1/1/2021. What you can NOT do is to count both the first year and the 10th year.
If you start your decade on 1/1/2020, then the decade ends on 12/31/2029. If you start the decade on 1/1/2021 then that decade ends on 12/31/2930. In the example I first responded to, the starting and ending decades were counted yielding an extra decade.
Or to use another example, If you decide your newborn let’s say, born today is 1 year old, then 1/2/2029 they will be 10 —having only been alive for 9 years.
Actually they do something similar to this for race horses. That’s why some of the 3 yr old horses are really only 2 yrs. plus in the races for 3 yr. olds.
The expression—the 60s 70s etc. is non precise and really depends on how the person you are talking to defines a decade.
And either way is acceptable to me, though to be accurate, and considering the passage of time, it is more correct to say the decade starts when 12/31/2020 hits the midnight hour.
Now are you going to let this go, or continue arguing?

They should have known better. Just like our dimocrats they don’t understand who is in power....Donald J Trump.
I still can’t believe Carter let those people tell us to turn our thermostats down, wear a freaking sweater, and drive perfectly good V8 motors 55 miles an hour.
Do that ten times, since a decade is a string of 10 years, and you will find that the first decades ENDS on the 365th day of year 0010. That decade being:
0001
0002
0003
0004
0005
0006
0007
0008
0009
0010
The second decade BEGINS on the first day of 0011.

LOL. Perfect explanation.
Saluting (not celebrating) the strike.
Absolutely. I’m not too concerned about a little extradition treaty. I’m sure we have plenty of leverage we could wield in order to get them to hand over Hillary or any other traitor for that matter.
Thank you! Yes!
Seems Trump is delivering on his earlier threat!
82nd Airborne activated
Rumors of Navy Seals activated
Dead Iranian Leader
Other Quds military leaders captured...
Somewhere, Kerry, Obama, and Valerie Jarret sobbing hysterically.
You answered my question. Thank you for the reply. Stupid question, but I assume a law degree qualifies as a Master’s Degree, I bet.
