- I'd be interested in seeing what percentage of people think 2.99 is more than 2.999. I bet it'd be significant. -- nm - Reagen Apr 22, 14:24
If I agree with you, it is a slippery slope to agreeing with Reagen on 0.9bar, so NO -- nm - crash davis 😺 Apr 22, 13:49
I like that this is such a small hill it's literally a penny. Good job -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 13:14
I'd almost argue that it's gotten to the point where $10 feels like less than $9.99 -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 12:42 3

  - I said *feels*. The burden of everything ending in .99 is lifted when using whole numbers. It's freeing. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 13:00
