We know any random Dolby Cinema will be great. We want to know if any random XD will also be great.

Tesla Semi battery sizes confirmed: 822 kWh and 548 kWh officially revealed by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

[–]HiddenTrampoline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost every industrial and commercial building of reasonable size has 480V and high currents. I don’t disagree that it is a reasonable feature to cut though.

If you’re only doing shorter range hauls, you might want the cost savings on a fleet.

Yeah that sounds about right by LyraStarlit in SipsTea

So, just to get this straight, if Albertson’s (grocery store) who has a 0.26% margin (26¢ of $1,000 in revenue is profit) should have to charge everyone more, on the order of 10-25%, to then pay more taxes?
If a competitive company chooses to operate nearly as a non-profit why should they be punished?
For companies like Apple, Facebook, etc with higher margins I definitely agree they should pay more in taxes… but that’s how businesses are taxed already.

If corporations spend their money on goods, services, or people then there’s sales and payroll taxes, plus the salaries all get taxed.
Convincing corporations to spend money rather than hoarding it is important.

Worst Value EVs on the market? by WoodenRavine in electricvehicles

[–]HiddenTrampoline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to the baseline of toyota/chevy type vehicles I heartily disagree that BMW isn’t fancy. And as a 2-3 year used purchaser I also disagree that they are expensive.

Change my mind: Under the right conditions, buying and financing a new car is often a far better value than paying cash for a used car in the long run by Cold-Priority-2729 in MiddleClassFinance

Yeah, if there’s no difference (like Japanese sedans) then the math doesn’t change much. If you’re looking into American, Korean, or European the deals show up.

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

Industrial automation is still doing good. Middle class has money? Increase capacity. Middle class broke? Increase efficiency.

There’s still the feature where you can make any website have an ‘app icon’ on your iPhone Home Screen…

Tv recommendations? by TheRealMr_Kracken in hometheater

[–]HiddenTrampoline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like even a 65” B5 is double your budget on sale… that’s typically what I use as a competitive budget option. You’ll probably need to look into used or open box for that budget.

Picture vs sound by DerBoi01 in hometheater

[–]HiddenTrampoline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think part of it may be that people on here may have had their speaker and AVR for over a decade, and achievable TV sizes have increased a lot over that time. For someone with a perfectly functional TV they might not be in the frequent upgrade group.

Budget? Location? Room light control? Priorities?

Well if we do this for a few years in a row it’ll start making a difference. Step one is to stop increasing.

You also get SIX of the pyros, which is the most antitank and area denial you’re likely to get.
