- mlsu 4mo agoTo be fair, solar turbines has had the name since 1929 (they were then called solar aircraft company). It’s not like they’re being intentionally misleading.
- matthewmcg 4mo agoThey’ve said the company name comes from San Diego being so sunny.
- jmward01 4mo agoThanks for point that out. I missed that context.
- acheron 4mo agoMaybe you should have looked it up before posting?
- jmward01 4mo agoI'll take a minute to respond here. Would you rather live in a world where people admit they made a mistake and thanked people that pointed it out or one where they didn't? You just sent a reward signal to the 'don't ever admit your mistakes' world in case you didn't realize.
- aspenmayer 4mo agoIt’s also fair to say that there’s another possible world you haven’t mentioned: one where you’re both right. In such a world, you would have looked it up before posting, and your comment, their reply to you, yours to them, and mine to you, wouldn’t exist. Perhaps they were trying to send a reward signal to all of us in this thread in order to induce a shift from where we find ourselves now in order to arrive upon the “look it up before posting” world line?
