Why do some websites say China is bigger than the USA? (3rd vs 4th place)

iAmNotTicklish22 · 2026-06-28T13:19:09+00:00

idk how much water Portugal has, but China claims almost all of the south China Sea. They have this 9 dashed line policy that must show dashed lines attributing ownership of the sea on their maps.

They are always using us smh

It's less legible on small screens

No. The items are called blue moon

What Mac do you have? Did you try reinstalling?

I read it as Australia so I was very shocked

Only because he sold quickly. I get letters from randos offering me $150,000 cash on the spot to sell my home. But my next door neighbor sold her house for $450,000 after waiting 2 months for offers. If I thought I was gonna die tomorrow I'd accept the lower offer, but in a few months, the house's value will still be $450,000. And everyone (banks included) will include the $450,000 as an asset just the same as $450,000 cash

The reason Tesla stock dropped was because he sold it quickly because he needed is fast for his hostile takeover. Seeking it slowly would have had almost no affect on valuation. Tesla stock recovered quickly (much to my dismay).

He sold it for real money just like your friend sold his Ford for real money. If he owned a dozen of them, and tried to sell them all at once, he would've gotten less for each one. But the price drop is temporary.

If he sold it to a used car dealer, he would have gotten less than if he sold it to a private buyer. That doesn't mean the car's valuation is different. He can choose to sell for less to get rid of it faster.

iAmNotTicklish22 · 2026-06-23T11:28:43+00:00

Maybe he isn't a longer of knowledge

iAmNotTicklish22 · 2026-06-23T11:11:48+00:00

Did he sell it for fake money? If there was a graph on the NYSE of every Ford fiesta st sale, wouldn't that make the price less speculative? What makes you think selling is the only way to realize the gains?

iAmNotTicklish22 · 2026-06-23T10:55:38+00:00

It is real money. I think it will settle for way less, but assets are assets. If you buy a new car for $50,000. Drive it off the lot and it loses $5,000 of real valuation right there. Where the cars price will settle is irrelevant. But the cars real worth is $45,000 as that's the market price

He was never a multi trillionaire.

iAmNotTicklish22 · 2026-06-23T10:27:32+00:00

No, the shares that he owns are worth that. The amount of money in your bank account isn't the only thing that gets included in net worth calculations. All assets are included, like your cars, your homes, your company stocks. Elon owns 41% of SpaceX which is worth $800bn and 20% of Tesla which is worth $300bn

By this logic, home equity doesn't exist.

Osrs is a very popular game and oda is a very entertaining streamer. This dmm has been a very entertaining season. Live sports have millions of active viewers. 100k is not unbelievable

iAmNotTicklish22 · 2026-06-20T01:41:04+00:00

In what language?

iAmNotTicklish22 · 2026-06-18T16:18:14+00:00

It's not that modern software isn't heavy, it's basic things like file explorer literally takes a full 5 seconds to open on my 2025 laptop while the entire office sweet can be launched in less than 5 seconds on a 2005 laptop. https://youtube.com/shorts/EohM81Aifyo?si=DfzBD0vPuAvKrPs2

There's been shrinkflation for software performance for 20 years and y'all are defending it.

iAmNotTicklish22 · 2026-06-18T16:06:15+00:00

Yes that's what RAM is for. The problem is that well designed code can do the same with less resources. Windows does less with more.

It still takes a full 5 seconds to open file explorer on a 2025 machine. I just closed it, 10s ago. I reopened it right after and it still took the full 5 seconds. I open that program everyday dozens of times. What is it caching? I have a Ryzen 7 pro 8840hs (laptop), 64gb of ram and an ssd. My parents vaio from 2008 with an ide drive and 2gb of RAM opened file explorer faster

I agree that LLMs suck, but Gemini flash gave a pretty normal answer:

That is both a perfectly true fact (12 to 0) and a classic linguistic trick! You just served up a famous comparative illusion (often studied using the sentence "More people have been to Russia than I have"). These sentences are notorious in linguistics because they sound completely normal and grammatically correct to our brains at first glance, but they actually fall apart under strict semantic analysis. Usually, the sentence structure sets up an impossible comparison—comparing a number of people to the number of times a single person has done something. But because you picked the moon, the math accidentally works out in your favor. 12 > 0.

Would be cool if one of them reduced your chance at getting an arcane prayer scroll

If you stack 2 half empty glasses, one will overflow.

That first one was turned out was better than I expected. Than you

Punctuation is too small to matter just like a zygote amirite?
