The person I initially responded to said that the reason I was off by a factor of 1000 was because I forgot to multiply by the K in the price.

I said the actual reason I was off by 1000 was because when I glanced at the calculator I read the result wrong. The math was right, my reading comprehension wasn’t.

I was never arguing that the answer I put in the comment wasn’t wrong. I even edited it.

45 of the generators were active.

Having to plan connecting flights is a thing.

Apparently I’m not the only one making reading errors here.

No, it’s not. The numbers used to derive the answer were correct. I did not forget to multiply by the K. I read the answer wrong when I transferred it.

My math was correct, my reading wasn’t.

No, I didn’t. The math was fine, it was me not counting the places in the answer correctly that was the problem.

Yeah, I don’t think he will, but he does have the ability

He actually could by deputizing some marshals to go arrest the people who turned them away. There are plenty of former special ops guys who would jump at the chance.

I thought that happened a week or two ago

They could, but courts can deputize people to explicitly do it (like if the US marshals won’t).

I know several former special ops guys who would jump at the chance.

You don’t have to go after trump. Just the people doing his bidding.

I mean, adding smart features is one thing, but letting those smart features control critical functionality is different.

They still got turned away today and their press badges confiscated.

Deputize someone as a marshal and have them arrested for contempt of court.

There are if the judge has the balls to do it.

Nah, I messed up looking at the answer, not with the math.

Edit: it’s wild that I was downvoted for admitting my mistake.

Napkin math disclaimer

Cost of Iran war so far: $43.6b

Number of people in the US with drivers license: 242.1m

Average EV cost: $55k

Number of households: 133m

Average rooftop solar cost: $22.5k

Cost to give everyone EVs: 242.1m × $55k = $13.3b

Cost to give every household rooftop solar: 133m × $22.5k = $3b

Total cost: $16.3b

We’d have enough to do it almost 3 times.

Those suckers are built like a fortress, although Bubba probably knows a guy with a wrecking ball.

Nah, they look at Saudi Arabia

They legitimately don’t know that they’re the ones causing the harm. The propaganda they’re fed has them convinced the Democrats are causing it.

Their cult actively punishes critical thinking and questioning authority. They don’t know that they are voting against their best interests.

Like, I live in Texas, and YouTube has been showing me tons of Paxton and Abbot ads. They always lead with, “They want to raise taxes,” which is true, but they leave out the part where the taxes are on the billionaires.
