For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

2.6‰ for us Europeans btw, America uses %

0.26‰ would only be slightly drunk with minor impairments, with that BAC you should be able to correct most "autopilot" mistakes

That’s not how it works. .26 BAC is .26 g/100mL so it’s the exact same in Europe. A BAC of 2.6 is not possible as you’d die before ever getting to 1 . Also ‰ is literally just for one thousandths percentages.

In my European mind, a BAC of 0.26 refers to a BAC of 0.26‰ which is fairly low, due to the lack of units.

But it referred to a BAC of 2.6‰, which is extremely high.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

.26 is very high in American units when .08 is legal limit in a lot of places! So whatever the higher option is, most likely for non American units.

I'm pretty sure they're correct. 0.26 per cent is 2.6 per mille (thousand).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

For per mile. For BAC, not so much as I said it’s g/100mL.

Sure, but there's no % there, it just say BAC.

When there's no % or ‰ anywhere, people assume its in the unit that is most commonly associated with BAC readings in their country. Which in the EU, is ‰

Your local news would say a BAC of 0.26, their local news would say a BAC of 2.6

Awesome. They specifically mentioned what it would be in European units for their understanding. They weren't talking to you directly.
