Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) came to Michigan Wednesday. The crowds? "If I'm being generous, that looks like 10 rows of 10 seats across on each side," reported a tech correspondent Chris O'Brien. "So about a total of 200 people potentially?" Former President Donald Trump's running mate addressed the...

        Yeah context matters and fair is fair. I mean they don’t share that philosophy, and while I’d like to maintain the ethical high ground, reality dictates that we have to speak in a language they understand.

          Nah, the Trump campaign is rapidly running out of places they can do rallies, because a lot of cities are requiring them to pay up front. This is normally unusual, but Trump stiffed SO MANY PLACES that he still owes $500kish from his last two campaigns.

          Normal businesses are easier to keep away legally than cities.

      This isn’t the correct picutre though right? this was before he was speaking. There was more people than this when he started speaking apparently. Like way more, but definitely not what is expected from a VP.

        Now I want a parody of those 90s sexual harrassment PSAs but its just furniture talking about Vance. Bonus points if ya also do one based off those real fucked up 50s anti-gay ones, like really if ya can pull that off with the fucked up overtones intact ill be impressed.

    “If I’m being generous, that looks like 10 rows of 10 seats across on each side,” reported a tech correspondent Chris O’Brien. “So about a total of 200 people potentially?”

    Chris O’Brien can’t do basic multiplication.

      10 rows, 10 seats on each side: 2 sides.

      10 * 10 * 2 = 200.

        Oh, two sides! I didn’t understand that. It’s right there “on each side” but that didn’t click for me as meaning this times two. Rereading it now, it’s obvious.

      10 rows x 10 seats per row = 100 seats per side.

      100 seats per side x 2 sides = 200 seats.

      Where is the error?

        As someone else pointed out and I acknowledged, I didn’t read it as two sides of that many seats each. Once I looked again I could see it was said plainly. My bad.
