So if a grocery store takes an item and applies, say, a standard 20% markup to the item before it goes on the shelf, and that marked up price by pure chance just happens to come out to $6.66, does that make the item satanic? Does that make the grocery store and its owner satanic? Does the store have to change the price slightly to avoid attracting Satan's attention and avoid tempting the employees to summon demons in the break room?
Come on, people, STOP IT. This is the kind of stupid shit that makes everyone on GAW look bad. Just like with guns, numbers are not good or evil. PEOPLE are good or evil, and can use the number 6 (or 3 of them together!) or any other number to represent good things or bad things. My guess is this means something along the lines of the 66th production batch of the 6th generation of EarthLink satellites or something like that.
Stop freaking out and having a tizzy fit every time you see 3 of the numeral 6 located in close proximity to each other. It's the context in which people use a number that can represent something good or bad or neutral, not the number itself. Examine the context in which the number is used and stop jumping to ridiculous conclusions like 'Elon is a Satan worshipper!' the instant you see a particular series of numbers.
Many skyrises skip over the 13th floor, the number 666 is banned from license plates, 666 is excluded from phone prefixes; plenty of places skip over that number
You know as well as I do that there are plenty of people who see three sixes in some random context and instantly jump to the conclusion that the person who used them is a card carrying Satan worshiper. How many posts are there on GAW every week with that kind of mindless knee-jerk reaction? It makes all of us look bad and makes it harder for new visitors to the board to take us seriously and for actual bad people to mock us and keep people from checking the board out in the first place.
But as they say, you are entitled to your own opinion.
I never said anything about that. I asked if people thought it was a comm. Which means communication for the uninitiated. In the context of elon's tweets today, I would say there is something to it.
Did I ever point to you as one of the people jumping to ridiculous conclusions? No, I did not. I didn't say that everyone was being ridiculous with things like this, just that too many people are. I didn't actually point specifically to any one person. The people I was referring to are easily recognizable based on the things they post.
I can actually see how it could be comms, like you are suggesting. Or simply a series of numbers used to identify a particular batch of satellites and a particular launch. Or a simple identification number for a batch of satellites, like a serial number, or a product number. So many possibilities that don't involve satanic rituals in the SpaceX conference room.

I rang a guy up the other day for an item after tax it came up $6.66 I changed the price a penny. Just couldn't do it.

You know what they say about opinions
If anyone is "freaking out having a tizzy" here it's definitely you
Is it?
