Oh man, flashbacks to an ancient meme.
TAIWAN NUMBAH ONE, CHINA NUMBAH …FOUR

I thought I had read something that said there never was a genetic or even chemical difference between sativa and indica, just the terpenes are different. Like how there’s all these different dog “breeds” but if you compare genetics they’re like 99% the same.

Yeah but they can’t make other people wear it. There’s always that one person who thinks bathing in body spray is the same as actually bathing

You did the thing you just complained about by not writing out 400,000,000 (400M) in relation to the 4,000,000,000,000 (4T)

To scale that down, it’s like someone paying 400 from a net worth of 4,000,000 (4M), or 4 from a net worth of 40,000, they would barely even notice. Of course that’s ignoring all the details of revenue and profit vs net worth or actual tax rates, and I can’t be bothered to look those up.
But imagine you own some land and a house that you bought for 4,000,000 (4M) that you have to pay property taxes on, and the taxes were 400 per year. That’s a 0.01% tax rate.

Shit, now I actually want to know what the real numbers are. according to Finbox “Apple’s effective tax rate for fiscal years ending September 2020 to 2024 averaged 16.5%.” although I think that’s specifically income tax.

Per macrotrends, apple profited 180,600,000,000 in 2024, from 391,035,000,000 revenue, a profit margin of ~45%, from which they payed 29,749,000,000 in taxes for an effective tax rate of 16.5% on the income.

Relative to net worth valuation of ~3,800,000,000,000 at end of 2024 that income tax paid is 0.75% of their net worth.

Inattentive meatstick

Probably depends on the technical definition of “disease” cus obviously stuff like cancer or vitamin deficiency (scurvy) are not infections, but I’m not sure if they’re considered diseases.
Do you have a demonstration of the falsehood?

And we cannot forget one of the best comedy actors of all time, Leslie Neilson

Percentage is probably one of the easiest ways to calculate a difference but presenting a percentage change can be mildly misleading if you don’t know what the original numbers are.

An increase of 100% is really a 2x increase, 1000% increase is an 11x increase.
If there used to be 1 ICE raid a month and now there are 11, that’s a 1000% increase. Given the change in directive and ramp up in action I’d be somewhat surprised if it was only 1000%

What did you think he’s robbing from the cradle, the toys?

That’s what color they are in the “visible” spectrum, I wonder what they look like if you added in the ultraviolet spectrum that bees and other insects can see

I think you’re referring to the ultraVIOLET catastrophe

Let me introduce you to something known as “at will employment”

I believe that vacuums also generate a ton of static charge as the air flows over the plastic hoses and such. They make special vacuums for electronic that are static free but expensive.

The dude who can freeze time (framed as him imagining) isn’t the one adding dildo shaped shampoo to women’s grocery carts to see if they’ll buy it when the get to the checkout. He just uses his time powers to, ahem, artistically admire women’s naked bodies when they’re grocery shopping and unaware they’re being the subject of his drawing

I’ll admit I haven’t actually watched the video yet but here it is

God damn do I love it when I get to share a relevant Technology Connections video https://youtu.be/0UKCUMghTrc

I have spent the last several weeks re-creating documents like this there were developed and maintained by one guy for 38 years.
There’s a half page drawing done in word that is lines and boxes and text all as text and positioned with spaces and tabs. I think I took a screenshot of it and just made it all one picture

An assembly line robot (like welding or material handling, I’ve worked with ABB, Fanuc, Motoman, Panasonic) are still called robot “arms” with the end portion often called the “wrist” so there is a degree of anthropomorphizing even if it’s not the whole body. And they do resemble an arm, however with 6 axis motion the motion is more like from your hips to your wrist than shoulder to wrist.

It’s 8 isn’t it. It’s ok, I liked it too
