@heyalexfriedman I'm surprised people think this is a new thing. It's been true, at least in the SF Bay Area, since my high school days in the late 1960s. Hippie banana bread - it was a thing.

@AliceFromQueens @VecchTweets Cavett was genuinely bright and asked interesting questions. But he was painfully shy. It’s a wonder he got that gig. Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix loved him. I think they sensed that he was *almost* one of them (minus the drugs), i.e., someone who doesn’t really fit in.

@AliceFromQueens When David Lynch died, out of all of his prodigious body of work that could have been sited, the phrase I kept seeing over and over was, "Shelly the waitress."

@seanonolennon I agree with this in part but then there are movies like, “Good Will Hunting,” where Gus Van Sant just used some Elliott Smith songs that he liked and exposed me to that artist, who subsequently became one of my faves.

@unknownman1019 @MichaelJLuna1 @ElonMuskAOC Nope. Multiplication and division from left to right. You are correct with 8 / 2 x 4. But then the correct execution is: 8 / 2 =4. 4 x 4 =16.

[Nick Koutsoukis @KoutsoukisNick]

@PaulLikesStonk @MichaelJLuna1 @ElonMuskAOC That's incorrect. The parens are resolved to 4. Whatever "comes before the ()" is not part of the parens. After getting 4, you go from left to right. Site a source that proves otherwise.

@thompsonchris69 @MichaelJLuna1 @ElonMuskAOC "In the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), multiplication and division are at the same level of precedence. This means they are performed from left to right, whichever comes first."

[Nick Koutsoukis @KoutsoukisNick]

@thompsonchris69 @MichaelJLuna1 @ElonMuskAOC From Grok, ChatGPT, or any Google search (or from me since at least high school), multiplication and division are done as they occur from left to right. Ask them.

[Nick Koutsoukis @KoutsoukisNick]

@seanonolennon Yeah, but look on the bright side. So is everything you hate. Also everything you don't know.

[Nick Koutsoukis @KoutsoukisNick]

@MichaelJLuna1 @ElonMuskAOC Parens, then exponents, then division/multiplication from left to right, then addition/subtraction from left to right. So,
(2 + 2) = 4
8 / 2 = 4
4 x 4 = 16.

[Nick Koutsoukis @KoutsoukisNick]

@ElonMuskAOC It's 16. You do what is in the parens first. Then any exponents. Then multiplication and division AS IT OCCURS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, then addition and subtraction AS IT OCCURS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. So the answer is 16. If you disagree with my stated operational orders - explain.
