One in a million occurrence happened to me.

Just shooting the breeze

  • Ok then that is also a valid way of interpreting it I suppose....

    ....although if a kangaroo jumped into my backyard it would be a one in a million occurrence since I live in Canada; however, this may be common in Australia. Thereby both statements are completely valid.

    So...why the vitriol?

  • It's just a pet peeve. My biology teacher is not a particularly good teacher, and she'll say stuff like that and it just bothers me. Anytime people say something to contradict themselves it makes me cringe. So more of an "oh no that drives me crazy" than a "why are you so stupid"
    My faith has found a resting place,
    Not in device or creed;
    I trust the ever-living One,
    His wounds for me shall plead.
    I need no other argument,
    I need no other plea,
    It is enough that Jesus died,
    And that He died for me.

  • Roger that.

    I hate when people say the word 'stupid' but like it has a 't' at the end. "Don't be so stupit". Yeargh. For some reason quite common where I am.

    Of course, it would be one in a million if it was a Dutch person saying it like that I guess.

    ;)

    Unless Juanma was talking about a literal global probability of 1 in a million instead of a figure of speech.

    He could just be trolling us all, 0.0001% for a global population is ~7.4 billion = ~7,400 people could have been viewing this Caribbean yellow sunset, and he was just one of them. If only people in the Caribbean could see this sunset, and the entirety of the Caribbean(~39 million) had an equal chance to view this sunset, Juanma had a 0.018974359% chance to see this sunset on any given day, assuming Juanma knows that the chance to see such a sunset was 1 in a million.
    If Juanma lives to be around 72 years old or 26280 days (life expectancy of the average Bahamian), then Juanma would have seen around 5 such sunsets (~4.9864615452) in his lifetime. Thus, we can conclude that Juanma must be around 14 years old, this being his first yellow sunset which only occurs globally 1 in a million chances.

    A few corrections for you to have a little better calculations.

    Lower the population from 39 million to the population of Santo Domingo.

    The population of the city is of 1,506,233 by 2016 and of 3,891,788 when its metropolitan area was included.

    The average life expectancy of a Dominican is 73.23 years.

  • I was a at coffee shop scheduling orders and stuff waiting for my coffee and this women looks at my phone and says oh you play subterfuge and she ask me what is my account name and my rating and starts talking about her favorite specialist and stuff and it wasn't the king. Just kidding I was too busy playing subterfuge to notice anyone except my phone.
