Probably a typo, but kind of important given the nature of the subject matter. 

Shouldn’t that be “3987^12", not “1987^12"? It would otherwise be like 34% off instead of near equal to the 9th decimal point.

True. He’s also the single largest shareholder of the company at 16.52%. The second biggest is Saudi Arabia at 7.85%. While a board of directors, if there is one, could still technically fire him, he holds a lot of clout being both CEO and largest shareholder.

The fewer apps and files your computer has to deal with, and the more free storage space there is available, the better. Every unnecessary byte of information can take up a slice of the available system resources, and they can all quickly add up to contribute to overall sluggishness in day-to-day operation.

Yes, but there is never a zero percent chance of death while driving. That is something everyone accepts when entering a motor vehicle and the reason why safety devices like seat belts and airbags exist to mitigate those odds. There should be a zero percent chance at dying making Thanksgiving dinner, but here we are.…

Yes. I already said it shouldn’t burn down one’s house. And I don’t think you need to state one is stupid if they do. That’s pretty much implied by the outcome.

Seems like the gamble is to be the loss leader in order to steal Tesla’s market share, and doing so by making actual nicely built vehicles. And I could see why that might be tempting at the moment. Tesla’s build quality hasn’t improved much and Musk can’t get his own foot out of his mouth, turning off lots of people…

An American Tradition

So you’re telling me that not only will Saturn’s rings disappear, but all paper too? 

That same NFPA report said about $15M/year property damage from frying turkeys. Same scenario in that it is statistically small, but still ridiculous because cooking a turkey shouldn’t burn one’s house down. I’d just skip it myself, but I suppose I’m not terribly risk tolerant with my meal prep. 

The only surprising part for me is that Mt Dew contains any type of citrus.

Statistically, it is indeed ridiculous. NFPA estimates about 5 people die to frying Thanksgiving turkeys/year, and another 60 injuries on average. Compared to 330+M people, it is insignificant. However, to die while cooking turkey is also ridiculous, so I get why one might want to put the PSA out there.

It’s more about Tesla using the potential of being a public display in court as the real deterrent as a way to save face from people flipping this POS 3 months after buying it. And because it is Tesla, you’ll more likely find people just keeping it for the validation period instead of trying their luck in court like…

All those quirky Windows 11 prompts are annoying. No argument there. But they are also easily turned off.

How it technically, legally works? I don’t know. But I’d throw it out there that this isn’t uncommon for other car manufacturers. Typically reserved for the Ferrari’s of the world, there are re-sale stipulations and ownership clauses baked into the purchase and sale agreement for high profile vehicles. Violation of…

Thin client that requires you to own both the processing side and all the games you want to play is questionable. But then again, Stadia failed, so who knows. I do wonder how well this works when the device is not in the same location/network as the PS5. But the thought of not being able to use it on the plane sucks.

Dominos is a franchise. So corporate took an insignificant hit in this blunder, but the franchisees are the ones to really feel the pain. And that’s assuming Dominos corporate even partially or fully subsidized the free pizzas. If they didn’t, and just forced this campaign on the franchisees, then the franchisees ate…

Thing is, measuring flying speed of passenger jets is kind of pointless when the aim for any subsonic jet is to not break the sound barrier. And it isn’t just about keeping the jet itself under 767mph, but keeping each jet’s wing profile low pressure stream from breaking the sound barrier. This can happen while the…

That legit works too. I always feel far less fatigued on longhaul flights when in a 787 or A350 as opposed to older 777's. Makes getting over jetlag easier. Although, I heard (not sure) that the newer 777X’s will have lower cabin pressures too. Maybe not 787 low, but lower than prior gen 777's.

Mick Jagger’s dancing is like watching a wounded chicken have a seizure. The song “Moves like Jagger” isn’t necessarily a compliment. Per Levine:
