      Impressive since most thought a Scaramuchi was a fundamental unit

        Eh. Fundamental units are about the unit itself and not the value. Like the second is the fundamental unit of time but you can really have fractions of a second. Or were you thinking of something like Planck units? Those are the smallest theoretical units that make sense given general relativity. So a Planck length is the smallest distance between two points that would be considered two separate points. Any closer and they are effectively the same point.

        Maybe the Mooch was the Planck unit and the Zachariah is the quantum unit?

          Maybe the Mooch was the Planck unit and the Zachariah is the quantum unit?

          Hang on, I think others posted that Mooch was fired before he signed his contract. This would suggest that a Mooch is in superposition existing in both a fired from employment and not yet hired for employment simultaneously. So only observation can collapse the waveform to obtain a singular value of a Mooch for a given moment.

          I was thinking smallest theoretical unit. I knew I had made a mistake and couldn’t think of the correct term. And I wondered if anyone was going to correct me. I’m happy you did.

      I thought a Scaramucci was 10 or 11 days, depending on whether you use the metric or imperial Scaramucci.

        The Scaramucci is a complex number, because while he might have worked 11 days, he got fired before his contract started, so his total days of employment is weirdly negative.

        Also he missed the birth of one of his children and got served divorce papers in those same days.

        I think we can all learn something important from the amazing fuck up that Scaramucci achieved in such short time: Don’t do coke.

        Yes, 11 days. But she was Press Secretary for 9 days, from the 9th to the 16th. 9/11 = .81

        Edit: 9th to 16th is 7 days, not 9. So I guess my prediction of .6 scaramuchis was correct

    She was so excited at that press conference, saying how happy she was to be working for Trump.

    I’m so pleased that this probably broke her heart. For the rest of her scummy life, she’ll always be remembered for being one of the most incompetent people among the the most incompetent people ever in the history of the US government.

      Looks like he has two of those real dolls set up in there. Maybe too much teeth, though.

        I once won tickets to see a variety show in Vegas, and it had topless women chorus line dancing between acts. If you had asked me before then whether I’d prefer a variety show with topless women or without, I’d have said, “With, please.” But that would have been wrong.

        I swear, they all had the same desperate fake smile as Katie Zacharia in that picture, and they all were pushing out their chests with their bolt-on tits as hard as they could. I remarked to my date that all of the dancers seemed extremely motivated to display the most fake parts of their bodies, as I’m guessing their teeth were all fake, too.

        It was all extremely off-putting, like they were all victims of human trafficking. I admit I couldn’t stop looking, either. It was sort of like looking at a car crash if all the victims had their fake tits out.

        On the other hand, the variety act itself was extremely entertaining.

        But anyways, based on Katie Zacharia’s smile in that picture, I can’t help but remember that very odd experience. One of the reasons I don’t like Vegas.

      What are we calling this new unit? A Zachariah? A Zack? KZ? Conversion is simple enough. 2 Zacks equal 1 Mooch.

        Or almost 1 mooch? I though a mooch was 11 days

        • spiderhamster@lemmy.worldEnglish

          That’s what I was thinking too. I personally prefer a mooch being 11 days because the ratio becomes 5/11. I know it’s not 5/7 as in “a perfect 5 out of 7” but they rhyme and I like that. Also in decimal 5/10 is 0.5 while 5/11 is 0.454545454545. That’s some DaVinci Code shit.

          Edit: on second thought I would prefer if the ratio was an irrational number. Someone figure that out for me.

          I think it depends on when you consider start and stop times. Someone said Mooch hadn’t even signed a contract before being let go implying negative days. It’s just all crazy.

      What’s weird to me is that she still came off like a lightweight when she was talking with Adam Mockler on CNN I think it was, but I didn’t think she’d faceplant that hard.

        I came away with that impression too. What vexes me is that she did graduate from Pepperdine Law School. I think that’s probably the USC of law schools but damn dude she graduated from law school? Like how come she can’t read? I didn’t come away thinking that it was just nerves. I think it was an actual lack of ability to follow the text.

      1 quarter = 2 bits.

      2 bit operation sounds about right.

      And here I thought a mooch was an atomic unit. But no, they were able to do worse.
