That's an interesting observation about the Board. The Kier voice seems similar to the Board voice we briefly heard from the intercom in S1.

I’m starting to suspect 99¢ isn’t a sustainable price point.

This doesn’t make sense as described. The Mac and its apps are optimized for keyboard and mouse. A tablet form factor would at a minimum require Apple Pencil; fingers aren't precise enough. Combine that with the terrible iOS/iPad virtual keyboard and it does not seem compelling.

Moons vs. dwarf moons? (Sounds like a fantasy novel series.)

I have been using it and it works well.

Discovered in the 1990s. It’s been known/used for decades now.

The repost bots often use oddly-phrased headlines -- often commenters will even talk about how weird the headline is. I can’t tell if the posters are actually bots, or if they are content farmers from certain countries. (The odd phrasing may sound natural in their language.)

Another tactic is to post an obviously incorrect headline to draw engagement, like mis-identifying a picture of the Empire State Building as Chicago.

Both of these happen frequently with image posts.

The CPI is a key economic indicator. It’s unlikely that banks and markets would tolerate that kind of meddling.

But, if the CPI was changed for political reasons, there are other similar stats.

In plain language: Wall Street can make or lose billions of dollars based on correctly/incorrectly forecasting this stat, so you can bet your ass they have accurate data. Some of it is private; some is available to paying customers. Even if the data is not public, it is often publicly characterized, for example, in economic forecasts and in publications like The Economist.

Some examples of alternative CPI sources are: PriceStats and The Economist’s Intelligence Unit. Both require paid access.

Be aware that freely-available stats may be published with political agendas, by Fox News conspiracy theorists, etc.

That’s the Consumer Price Index.

There’s also the related Producer Price Index which unfortunately does not include tariffs but will be interesting to watch.

Some cars use laminated glass side windows that can’t be broken by those tools.

Apple has not made the necessary APIs available. Only those two apps have animated icons. They’re made by Apple and so they are able to use the private APIs needed to do it.
