…and they host a 3rd party activator for all of their products.

What’s all this now?

I read it exactly the same way. Now that I’m here in the comments, I’m as confused about why I read it that way as the person above you.

Happy cake day! First one I’ve noticed since joining lemmy.

Trump did make a whole new branch of the military to funnel government money into. But yeah, you’re right, they’re the same…

I don’t know enough to have my own solid thoughts on this, but people I trust and know more than me have all said that Tesla is wildly over valued compared with any other auto makers and considering their P to E. Considering that, I’ve been thinking that once the Musk distortion field goes away, the price may just drop down to where it “should be” by normal standards.

My heart agrees with what you’ve said, implying that musk is actually holding back the price at this point, but my brain says that might not actually be true.

Great, thanks!

Do you know which specific episodes?

I still sign up with them when I’m researching bigger, or long-lasting, purchases. Cars, washing machine, and that sort of thing. I’m always a little annoyed at the price, but the content is SO MUCH better than any other online review source that I’m always happy with my decision in the end. Reddit comments are probably second, but I’ve found those to be littered with what seem to me to be suspiciously positive reviews for items that are not significantly better than their competition. I feel like I need to dial up my critical nature to 10 to fight against the echo chamber and/or the covert advertising.

Trains have drivers. They’re called locomotive engineers.

Agree. Lemmy loves to trash on Apple, but this is actually something it’s hard to criticize them over. Especially compared with any other consumer electronics manufacturers.

Home base is coastal, but I travel all over the US for work. I spend between 30-50% of the year on the road. I admit, not a ton of that time is in middle-of-nowhere Wyoming.

Same, and I eat a fair amount of honey. Even when I buy cheap stuff on the road, it’s 100% honey. Maybe there’s some Dollar General store brand that’s severely discounted and cut, but I’ve never seen it.

This sounds like user error to me. Hold the spacebar, then drag your thumb to move the cursor exactly where you want it.

You’re talking about variables. But, pi isn’t a variable, it is a constant number. This would be more akin to saying “let 7 = 9”.

It’s always obvious when someone has watched every Rambo movie, but has never been within 10 miles of a military base. Good luck to them…

Wow! Thanks for taking the time explain all of that. Makes complete sense.

I’m not a programmer, just an occasional hobbyist. Can you fill me in on why the second way is better? Is it because it’s asking for “all numbers between x and y” instead of “all integers between x and y”? I probably would have done it the first way assuming they meant integers, maybe incorrectly.

Always exciting to see in the wild!

I’m interested that you suggested “less meat and sugar”. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone claim protein to be a major contributor to obesity in the last 40 years. I usually see sugars and carbs as the main culprits. Is there some new info I should read about?

I (luckily) have always had my weight and nutrition under good control, so I’m more interested for the sake of knowledge.

I replied to the person above to brain dump my love for the audiobooks. I can see where the first half of the first book could be a slog to actually read, but the audiobooks are really quite amazing IMO. Highly recommend trying it out.
