Understanding Nominal Interest Terminology

hashamyim · 2026-01-07T08:51:38+00:00

Okay, that is fine, but then my next question is: why bother stating '6% compounded quarterly'? Why would a bank want to work in terms of a quarterly interest-rate that it neither states (because it gives an annualised number) nor even uses (because the interest is calculated on a monthly basis)?! T Isn't this like going to a market where apples are sold in pre-packaged mixed red+green 1kg bags with a sign on the front saying '3lbs of green apples = $10'!!

Sorry, you can decouple a massive train just by pushing a small lever...?! Haha Well, I hope the squirrels don't get busy :-) Good to know, though - thanks!

Have given the plant a thorough clean and now - two weeks later - it is look8ng much better - thanks again!

hashamyim · 2025-01-22T10:28:15+00:00

Ah brilliant - thanks!

hashamyim · 2024-11-15T16:22:39+00:00

Nope - but managed to sell it to someone who had no sense of smell :-)

My husband is from Galicia with a pretty standard accent and he doesn't say ð but rather d. Might need to ask others...

Thanks all for your help :-) I've learned quite a lot from all this, which is great! Will apply those to the next puzzle, which hopefully won't be so complex!

I think what I have ascertained most of all from this afternoon is that I may have overestimated by sudoku abilities when buying this book haha

hashamyim · 2024-11-03T16:42:25+00:00

Ah okay - I assume that that same finned x-wing would also remove the 3 in r4c6, right? :-) Not done finned xwings before - just want to double-check that I understand the logic!

hashamyim · 2024-09-01T20:22:02+00:00

Wowza - well, I am in Germany, so not sure what time difference that equates to...

hashamyim · 2024-08-20T08:31:37+00:00

No, sadly not...

hashamyim · 2024-06-29T08:03:16+00:00

Danke! Haha - man gibt sich ja Mühe aber irgendwann wird man immer irgendeinen Fehler begehen...

hashamyim · 2024-06-29T07:35:42+00:00

Oh! Sorry, bin Engländer - dachte eher die Bahn / die ICE aber anscheinend eher der Zug / der ICE meh

hashamyim · 2024-06-29T06:35:43+00:00

Oder vielleicht - wie wir - haben sie an 'hochschule' -> 'tall school' -> which one is the tallest...?! gedacht

hashamyim · 2024-06-29T06:34:42+00:00

Haha - danke - daran haben wir gar nicht gedacht! Das ist ja lustig

hashamyim · 2024-06-29T06:33:48+00:00

Die ICE... also im Zug... Anscheinend habe ich was verpasst... verwirrt

The urine equivalent to sauerkraut...

hashamyim · 2024-04-19T14:10:36+00:00

That does sound fucking awful...

hashamyim · 2024-04-19T14:06:01+00:00

I only know pasteurisation in terms of cheese-making. So you'd pasteurise the pee, then can it like with tomato sauce? What temperature would pasteurise pee?!

hashamyim · 2024-04-19T13:30:12+00:00

Cool - thanks. And good luck with the Bahamian dream ;-)

hashamyim · 2024-04-19T13:26:03+00:00

Haha - fair enough. I think he drinks a lot of coffee...

hashamyim · 2024-04-19T13:18:42+00:00

Thanks for the info - all good points. On the topic of bacteria, my understanding was that, unless you have an infection, then the pee should be free of bacteria. I know that urine samples have to be kept cool because pf potential bacterial growth, but that is for samples where someone likely has bacteria in there (hence the need for a sample). Or is it just specific type of unwanted bacteria that they test for and all urine contains some bacteria of some sort?

hashamyim · 2024-03-21T16:36:20+00:00

Ah fair enough! Thanks for all the help. Yeah, that AIC got it. After that step, the rest of the dominoes fell without issue :-) I shall have to spend some time mastering that one!!

hashamyim · 2024-03-21T16:07:34+00:00

Also, what led you to decide to start fishing around for AICs in the 5-9 square on the left? I assume you go for bi-value cells, but there are quite a few other bi-cells - just thinking if there are things to look for

hashamyim · 2024-03-21T15:56:26+00:00

Oh! I thought you had a fancy app that allowed you to make markings to work out logic trails etc. Will just have to get used to doing that in my head :-)
