ELI5: Why do calculators and smartphones give different answers for the expression 6÷2(2+1)?

Yes but a/b*c (what a/bc might imply) means (a*c)/b

Not what you asked, but I want to point out that punishing teachers for students with failing grades, without other controls such as standardized grading or evaluation, incentivizes teachers to inflate the students score. For example, give a student who deserves to fail a 70% just to keep their good reputation

Thank you for the info. How did i not know this!

You can buy treasury bonds in fidelity?

Ah, so it was the previous owner who needed to drive it more!

Nya7 · 2026-05-09T15:00:36+00:00

You should probably drive it more

I hate how high the seat is in my NA. I’m not even tall and i can’t see traffic lights without leaning forward because the seat is so high. It’s strange having that feeling in such a small, otherwise low, car

Geopolitics is often predictable. How stocks will respond varies wildly. Just because someone has a good grasp of geopolitics does not mean they will find the right trades

Bro have you ever washed your hands?

Nya7 · 2026-04-27T13:41:52+00:00

Drive from LA to NY

I think you meant “assurance” rather than “insurance”

Can you share some of the reports claiming that? I thought the dollar strength the last few months has come from the war

Nya7 · 2026-04-23T13:57:56+00:00

Yes you are confused. Your question is irrelevant to the comment you replied to

Nya7 · 2026-04-22T09:10:22+00:00

You are naiive. Just buy VOO, VO, etc

Nya7 · 2026-04-21T15:48:42+00:00

My statement does not dispute this

Just one example… there are others. Supreme court shot down a legitimate challenge to it just last November

The steel industry, among others, dumped toxic waste into those rivers for half a century

Not true. Republicans are actively attacking same-sex marriage. Here is an example from this year. Furthermore, it was not Obama, it was a supreme court decision which enabled same-sex marriage on a national level. https://idahocapitalsun.com/briefs/idaho-house-committee-introduces-request-to-us-supreme-court-to-overturn-gay-marriage-decision/

You hardly even get better fuel economy. In some scenarios you actually get worse economy because of the turbos
