I host a regular Home Game AMA (1 Viewer)

[WedgeRock]

I tend to agree with the logic, but nobody says “the roaring 21’s”.

My wife was born in December 1970... She also doesn't agree when I tell her she was a child of the 60's...

 

[BGinGA]

Sir.

If the first decade went from Year 1-10, and the second decade from 11-20... yada yada yada, doesn't the current decade go from 2011-2020?

Nope. 2010-2019. The very first decade only had nine years.

 

[Beakertwang]

OK these AMA threads are getting ridiculous. What's next... "I've seen a woman naked IN PERSON. AMA!"

I own a Chevy HHR. AMA

[Forest@Farmington]

Thanks for answering all of the questions. How do you vet new players?

 

[TheWhiteJZ]

Nope. 2010-2019. The very first decade only had nine years.

actually the decade began Jan 1 2000 and ended dec 31 2009. Ten years exactly.

Do you let players sit where they want for cash games or so you make them draw for seats?

Would you rather be lucky at cards or a good card player?
Explain your answer please.

Always curious how other hosts do things.

I wasn't being sarcastic. More of a comment of the joke questions being asked and then someone pops in with a real question. I just did it in a smooth sassy way that gave me a laugh. (I do assigned seats Tourney, random sitting no draw on cash. )

You're nothing if not sassy!

He was a drunk asshole, and I do not deal well with drunk assholes.

I apologize in advance for my conduct at SQM.

 

[WedgeRock]

So, extrapolating, the first decade began January 1, year 0 and ended December 31, year 9.

It was Christmas, 1999. I got into a long stupid argument with my brother-in-law about the end of the millenium.

I've been banging this drum since just before Y2k. After explaining my logic, those that agree just dismiss it, presumably because that's how everyone else recognizes it. I refuse to capitulate.

There was not a year 0 A.D. Christ was born in 1 A.D.

This is scientific fact!

I fight for truth. Righting wrongs is the only reward I need.

There was not a year 0 A.D. Christ was born in 1 A.D.

Before someone comes along with an incorrect correction, I will state that this is true. Most people think that A.D. stands for "after death" but it does not. AD is from the Latin "anno domini," or "in the year of the Lord." Jesus was born in 1 AD.

(It I also why the current decade goes until December 31, 2020.)

A decade means a period of 10 years. For convenience, we’ve simply defined those 10 years to be the period of time when years share a 10s digit (i.e., the 60s etc.). I guess you can refer to 2020 as being in the 2010s if you want people to think you’re “different.”

That is the most cogent and lucid argument I've heard against my logic.

Now STFU.

Gotta throw him a virtual Zip It chip to be effective.

From you, I’ll take that ... best I’m gonna do!

 

[WedgeRock]

But by your logic, every day is the end of a decade...
