You did the thing you just complained about by not writing out 400,000,000 (400M) in relation to the 4,000,000,000,000 (4T)

To scale that down, it's like someone paying 400 from a net worth of 4,000,000 (4M), or 4 from a net worth of 40,000, they would barely even notice. Of course that's ignoring all the details of revenue and profit vs net worth or actual tax rates, and I can't be bothered to look those up.
But imagine you own some land and a house that you bought for 4,000,000 (4M) that you have to pay property taxes on, and the taxes were 400 per year. That's a 0.01% tax rate.

Shit, now I actually want to know what the real numbers are. according to Finbox "Apple's effective tax rate for fiscal years ending September 2020 to 2024 averaged 16.5%." although I think that's specifically income tax.

Per macrotrends, apple profited 180,600,000,000 in 2024, from 391,035,000,000 revenue, a profit margin of ~45%, from which they payed 29,749,000,000 in taxes for an effective tax rate of 16.5% on the income.

Relative to net worth valuation of ~3,800,000,000,000 at end of 2024 that income tax paid is 0.75% of their net worth.

My dogs have learned that the sound of a knife on the cutting board means there's a chance food of some kind might make it to the floor, so they come running.

I've seen a similar thing where the machine learning model started associating rulers with cancer because the images it was fed with known cancer almost always also had a ruler to provide scale to measure the size of the tumor

Probably depends on the technical definition of "disease" cus obviously stuff like cancer or vitamin deficiency (scurvy) are not infections, but I'm not sure if they're considered diseases.
Do you have a demonstration of the falsehood?

We have a cat that is like 95% goblin. Laziest fucking cat I've ever seen, literally sleeps all day and night except for when it's food time, usually in the warmest part of the house. The only thing he really cares about is getting fed. He will come find you when it's dinner time and make sure you didn't forget.
We've had to 'goblin proof's the house by adding magnets to the cupboard door so he can't just open it himself and have learned to never leave any of our food out on the counters. I can't count how many times we would get a loaf of bread or package of tortillas or stuff like that and leave it out on the counter just to find it on the floor the next morning with big chunks bitten out of them, or find the butter dish with the cover knocked off and a big divot where he licked like a tablespoons worth of butter. I had to start putting the jar of bacon grease in the fridge as soon as I had poured it out of the pan because otherwise he would get to it while we were eating and just dip his paw into it to lick at the delicious. More than once we have brought in the shipment of dog food but didn't think to fully put it away and then later found him shoulder deep in the food having chewed through the cardboard box and the plastic bag to get to the dog food inside.
So yeah, all that to preface, this cat had to get an emergency exploratory gastro surgery to remove a black silicone rubber cock ring he chewed into pieces and ate but couldn't pass. Little fucker still tries his hardest to eat any silicone rubber he can get to, and he knows the drawer I keep them in and has figured out how to open it, so we don't have many silicone toys anymore.

Is the image from one of the illustrated books? I'm curious who the artist is

I don't filter the bits until after the multiple cooks, and I honestly started doing it because I was lazy and didn't want to deal with it right before bed but I've found it caramelizes the sugars from the veggies more and adds a depth of flavor that wasn't there with just one cook.

One of the reasons I love doing it in the pressure cooker is that it essentially accelerates the cooking process so all the good stuff in the bones and fats comes out into the broth sooner than it would otherwise, and I can pretty much set it and walk away for 4 hours which is really convenient
