I have an older comment that goes through Tesla’s litany of woes and the stock goes up with every piece of bad news. It is being supported by something other than reality.

With all the bots on the site why complain about these ones?

Edit: auto$#&"$correct

I grew up in the 1970s. We were eating candy cigarettes. 😄

You are correct. “Bankrupt” is a little strong. But selling existing bonds back into the market while the U.S. is trying to issue new debt would not be great for America. I think dollar devaluation is 100% in the cards.

The US has been living on credit cards for decades now. The rest of the world has supported it because the most important thing for everyone is stability. With trade agreements getting ripped up, and nonsense tariffs everywhere, supporting Americas consumption habits is not necessarily in the world’s interests anymore.

Canada alone holds almost $500 billion in US debt. Europe and Japan hold another $2.5 trillion in US debt. America is picking fights with people who can bankrupt them.

I’m not a phone person. What benefit does this provide?

And in peak physical shape. As I heard one athlete describe it everyone there is 10/10 from the neck down.

Everyone does.

I know several people that have bought more than one wedding dress.

Or better yet- don’t travel to the US.

Because the rule of law is broken.

Is there a spelling mistake?

He reduced spending. We need to know the societal cost of those reductions before we can talk about savings. I suspect he has impoverished a generation.

I don’t think it’s the consumer market. It’s more expensive to manufacture with physical controls, keyboards, and moving parts. It wasn’t lack of consumer demand that killed the phono jack.

Checkmate America.

Dildos have been around a lot longer than that. https://allthatsinteresting.com/history-of-the-dildo

My understanding is that “hysteria” legitimized the use of the vibrator (not unlike how “weight loss” was used in the 1980s to prescribe fentanyl), but they were around before that, and probably would have found another way of entering the mainstream.

And the answer is"What is the Poisson Distribution" Alex.

There is literally a distribution that describes the occurences of low probability events in large populations. It was developed to study deaths by horse kick in the Prussian army. So confidence intervals never come into it. You’re applying Stats for Communications Majors reasoning to an adult problem.

Holy shit that’s low. I was asking for £35k in 2004 for a technical role. They wanted to pay 17.

I was a civil servant. The hiring bands were pretty wide well defined there, at least for technical specialists like yours truly. The 50-60% of max range is considered developmental and would normally be given to an internal candidate who was being groomed as part of a succession plan. 60-80% is the sweet spot, and they will go to 90% for an exceptional candidate. Only once in my career did I negotiate 100% of max - and it was because I was taking a pay cut in the new role. I was changing jurisdictions because I was ( and still am) in love.
