Actually there is a very real effect on which foods you find appealing and which ones are kind of gross. It’s a thing the food companies have been studying, and their own studies show that people on GLP1s tend to skip the junk food aisle and head towards the produce section instead.
Oddly enough semaglutide is making me crave sugar more. It might be the frequent sensation of having low blood sugar. Idk.
It does make me choose more dense meals though since I know I can't eat that much due to delayed gastric emptying. But I have to budget some room for prunes to counteract the constipation. It definitely makes you think about what you eat.
It used to be that they gave you the choice. You could round or you could use pennies but you had to be consistent throughout the return, because even the IRS doesn’t care if you manage to scrape out 49 cents.
It is still a choice, though I cannot remember the last time we used cents on ours or any other returns (my wife works for an accounting firm so they handle a fair number of returns). Just has to be consistent, either you round or you do not.
Never heard of them. I'm always interested in a good value. I rarely buy the cheapest or the most expensive item, so if Rhone is decent then I may give them a try. Thanks for the tip!
Yes, the point I was trying to make is that companies can get away with not being maximally profitable. There's nothing legally stopping Apple from accepting a slightly lower profit margin on the 5% of sales volume that might go to smaller iPhones if they would offer them. But it might brighten the day for millions of customers.
That's trailing PE. A standard response to that observation would be that the market is forward looking. So I try to stick to forward PE when discussing price. 200 is still insane in any case, it's an order of magnitude higher than, for example, GOOG.
I'm curious how well it is selling. Early on there was a lot of enthusiasm, but I haven't heard much since. I don't know if I'd want a phone with less battery life, but my understanding is the Air's battery is actually not much smaller than last year's pro?

Ouch! That sounds pretty bad, indeed.
I was originally a little interested in the Air because I wanted to downsize from my previous 15 Pro Max. I ultimately decided that the Air was only thinner, and still big in the dimensions I wanted it to be smaller in.
Neither is Samsung's similar Galaxy Edge apparently, to the extent that the product line may have already been cancelled after just one generation. Both companies probably should have sat on that idea until they could offset the physically smaller batteries with the much denser silicon-carbon technology.
The battery is actually fine, better than the iPhone 16’s. The single camera and the pricing are the main problem, along with assorted minority showstoppers like single speaker and large size. It’s also not that much lighter, actually heavier than previous iPhones like the 12. People who are fine with a single camera and want less weight can also get the 16e for a much lower price, and then at least get stereo speakers. Add to that the very strong offering of the iPhone 17 this year.
