You’re only 27-30% powered by nuclear or renewable.

How do you figure energy extraction of both are remotely comparable metrics?
- Comment on Live Nation/Ticket Master won't give you your tickets unless you install their app 4 weeks ago:
Actually think this is more about protecting against unscrupulous scalpers selling tickets multiple times.
When you can just email a pdf or print it, nothing stops you from doing it multiple times.
At the end, it’s ticketbastard that has to listen to the people that got scammed. This method forces authentication and secure the chain of custody.

Yeah I had the same observation recently, especially when I got that popup and then couldn’t find anything relevant to what I was looking for. It’s just a random tech blog now.
XDA forums (search for that) is the old xda.

Facebook stock had a notoriously horrible IPO. I bought at open and had friends laughing at me when it went to $18ish. I doubled my position.
Finally sold most of those shares at $475.

For those models probably not a bad deal, if someone only needed a car for a few months. Stupid if you need something longer term.

But pedal accelerating an ebike is not quite as easy as a regular bike. They’re over 20kg due to steel frames and batteries.

Adding that certain markets won’t accept bottles, you must use a blister.
Why is it one per card, bit of a head scratcher, but given the logistics and distribution costs of shipping this format, agree they wouldn’t do this for fun.

- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 3 months ago:
The way this whole thing went down is absurd.
That said, I had an underperforming colleague who never picked up that feedback was negative. They only latched onto the positive statements. This is either a failing of the receiver to hear the negative when also getting positives or a failing of the feedback giver to be direct.
It’s impossible to say in this situation, though it caught my attention that she mentioned she was close to closing a deal and lost it last second. If we take the CEOs statement at face value, perhaps she didn’t actually meet their metrics.
I can’t say if this is justified or not, but what is abundantly obvious to me is 1) their feedback system likely sucks 2) the hit squad was under prepared with the justification for a termination for lack of performance, 3) she called them on their shit justifiably.

This is not slander. It would be slander/libel if they went out and proclaimed she sucked at her job with nothing tl back it up.
- Comment on Another example of shrink flation... oh, my beer... 4 months ago:
This is true but do you remember the liter price you paid for laundry detergent or do you remember that you bought it for $14?
I’d wager that most people are in the latter, even if they are completely informed of shrinkflation.
For me the liter price I use when trying to figure out if a sale of the 1 gallon is actually cheaper than the 2 gallon normal price (or whichever units of measure for an item).
- Comment on Just speak normally 5 months ago:
In danish this is basically how it’s done on increments of a half.
One and one half is said as half (til) two
But it’s only on small numbers. It goes Half, one, half til two, two, half til three (or optionally two and a half!), three, three and a half…
Dont even get me started on the rest of the numbers

I’m proposing that June is 365 days long, and we just abolish seasons. Can’t believe nobody thought of this.
Leap days would still be in February, so don’t forget to keep your jacket for one day every four years

Percentages on the tip are lower than US tip amounts. So I would guess not US, though this would obviously happen in the states.
- Comment on Restaurant Bill 5 months ago:
It doesn’t make sense to any sane person. But basically:
The restaurant feels that costs have increased and in order to remain profitable they must raise prices. Instead of raising prices on the menu, take the canoli as an example, from $11 to $13, they decided to add it after the calculation.
This means the customer may go out with an idea of what they would like to spend (maybe it’s a special treat for them) orders based on the menu, figures tip and tax… Expects to be out for $100… But surprise! You owe a fucking service charge.
Now-- I’m not into this particular restaurant’s finances. Let’s be generous and assume they need to charge more to break even. This is the shady (and should be illegal) way to do this. They should instead raise prices and be honest with the customer what they feel they need to charge.
