What are each of their earnings and prospective earnings?
Market cap isn’t 1:1 with units sold
- Comment on She spent her inheritance sending money to TikTok Livestreamers. What started as a game turned into addiction. 10 months ago:
The matches imitate a video game. Two TikTokers stream side-by-side, divided into “red” and “blue” teams. As a timer counts down from five minutes, they go to wild and kooky lengths to get their fans to send them these gifts.
The creativity to create things like these battles is interesting
We really are fleshy machines that just need our buttons pushed the right way to get us to obsess over almost anything
- Comment on The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money 11 months ago:
Was it a baseball? It bounced quite a bit and looked a lot like a light rubber ball
- Comment on The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money 11 months ago:
The ball they used to demo it again this time probably wouldn’t have broken a pair of reading glasses

It’s what people thought modernity would look like back in the 70’s and 80’s - all function and no form

“a bunch”?
Container ships can carry over 200K tons
- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 1 year ago:
The heat pump I just had installed in SW Ontario hands over heating duty at -10C to the gas furnace
- Comment on I Donated My Eggs to Help Pay Off My Student Loans 1 year ago:
Thanks to my parents, I was free of undergraduate student loans, so I thought taking on student loans for my master’s degree wouldn’t be the worst decision. I enrolled in a program at the London School of Economics and Political Science as an international student.
Yeah, I don’t think “the rich” are on the hook for this person’s debt
- Comment on Honest question: what was Hamas' long-game with respect to kidnapping Israelis? Did they think Israel would just negotiate rather than retaliate? 1 year ago:
Israel could also stop the annexation of Palestinian land and the murders of Palestinian civilians, but doesn’t
The only reason Israel hasn’t wiped out Gaza and the West Bank and taken those areas as part of Israel is that they believe that a full-on intense genocide would be too much for the world to let go. Whether or not that fear is true is something we may find out now in Gaza
- Comment on Tesla warns that a federal probe into whether it exaggerated the range of its cars may lead to a ‘material adverse impact on our business’ 1 year ago:
He’s a more techy Steve Jobs. And a complete asshole

Why do people think robo taxis don’t exist yet?
They do, and they cause a lot of havoc on the roads where they operate (San Fran)
- Comment on Car wash: touchless or soft touch? 1 year ago:
Right on. I’ve heard these can be a nightmare to maintain - I hope yours stays trouble-free

- Comment on Toyota Will Adopt Tesla-Style Cast Bodies That Might Be Impossible to Fix 1 year ago:
As mentioned in another thread, there is a paintless dent repair video on YT of a fix done to the corner of a Rivian rear bumper
The owner claimed that he was quoted $41K. To do the work, they would need to cut the body all the way up to the front of the roof
The PDR fix was close to perfect in this case
- Comment on Nissan to go all-electric by 2030 despite petrol ban delay 1 year ago:
Good to hear it’s decent. The more competitors in the mid-price EV market, the better

What are your initial impressions of the Ariya?
- Comment on Car wash: touchless or soft touch? 1 year ago:
Leased or owned/financed?
- Comment on Unpacking Amazon's stealthy mass layoff strategy in Seattle 1 year ago:
Don’t the employee options received up to that point continue to vest over time?
- Comment on Why do sports commentators talk soft bullshit? 1 year ago:
I think the fans do like actual in-depth analysis, it’s just no always possible real-time.
Jomboy’s breakdowns are fantastic, but he’s not able to do that during a live broadcast.
The NFL pioneered game analysis with John Madden and the telestrator, and that is used in all sports broadcasts now. For that, you need the camera work to see and record the action, the expertise to realize there is something to analyse, and the ability to analyse it, and you need the time to show the analysis in a break in play or during an intermission
- Comment on Old Dads | A Netflix Film From Director Bill Burr | Official Trailer 1 year ago:
It’s John Favro getting to bring his favourite actors in
Burr had a funny response when they offered him the role because he had publicly made fun of Star Wars and the fans
- Comment on Old Dads | A Netflix Film From Director Bill Burr | Official Trailer 1 year ago:
That would be on-brand(ish) for Burr
He showed a trailer for the movie at his show last year. A subset of his fans were overly energised by these “tough dad” jokes
The same sunset of fans were a bit perplexed when Burr to some shots at the idiots with massive American flags on the back of their pickup trucks
I wonder how much cognitive dissonance Burr’s fans suffer when the find out his wife is black
- Comment on Man attacked by two dogs near school in Stonnall dies 1 year ago:
Dogs also feed off of the emotions of their owners. If the owner is all tense or aggressive, the dog will be on alert and prone to attack other dogs and people
- Comment on 'A cavity is not a vagina': Trans woman refused healthcare in France 1 year ago:
The comments about only treating “real women” and not men who “shave their beards” and “tell my secretary that they are a woman” are problematic
The patient needs to be educated about their body and the medical community needs to evolve to better serve trans people as well
- Comment on The End of Airbnb in New York 1 year ago:
I find AirBnB to be cheaper when renting an entire house vs 3 or 4 hotel rooms. But an apartment vs a hotel room is even or the hotel is cheaper
- Comment on Rivian CEO issues strong statement about people who purchase gas-powered cars: ‘Sort of like building a horse barn in 1910’ 1 year ago:
I think his analogy is accidentally spot on. ICE cars are going to be around for a while
- Comment on 'It almost doubled our workload': AI is supposed to make jobs easier. These workers disagree 1 year ago:
Just had a Marketing colleague try to make the case for a SaaS solution telling us the justification was clearly articulated in our company-specific deck he created
Reading the deck and then checking the revision history, it’s clear that buddy just pasted in the vendor’s brochure ware
Some parts of the business have no place in actually selecting tech

The marketing teams have been working overtime on this - well done to them
