Reading through the first one I see a partnership with Olde Mecklenburg, what do you think: https://www.ombbeer.com/location-overview/

… just a bit over 13 hours drive

Thanks. I’ll take a look

One of these days I hope to find out. Several times Ive had internal conversations debating whether it’s reasonable to organize a trip around beer

Not a European, but i don’t buy that. American mass-produced beers are bad. That used to be all beers, but it’s not anymore. American microbrews have come a long way and frequently win awards, including international awards. The only objective evidence shows good American beers are good.

I think it’s down to history, wounded pride or self-defensiveness, and as someone else mentioned: the aged swill you get from “imports” may not be good.

Personally, I think German beer is awful, and quite a few American microbrews do German styles so much better. But I’m adult enough to understand I’ve never been to Germany and that what we get for imports may not be their best or freshest. I’m willing to give German brewers the benefit of the doubt, despite what I’ve experienced from them

As and when announced, it would have been one of the cheapest EVs. I’m not interested in a truck, but that announced price and done of the technology they promised, were very tempting. However now we see how preorders based on just an announcement are risky

Realistically, how can you control the spread? Even assuming there are treatments, in what world is it practical to provide repeated direct medical attention to millions of chickens?

Yet there are nutritional and behavioral actions that significantly affect blood cholesterol level and proportions.

Eggs are a great example, my understanding:

• eggs have a lot of cholesterol
• cholesterol is mostly broken down when you eat eggs - however is also a significant source of saturated fat
• liver “balances” blood cholesterol by making it and digesting it
• saturated fats, such as from eggs, increase liver production of cholesterol

Other things aren’t “breakfast”. While I understand that it’s only tradition that makes foods be for a specific meal, it’s hard to get around. Chicken is not a breakfast food.

So where do you get protein in foods that identify as breakfast? Cereals and grains are mostly carb or fiber, not good sources of protein. Sausages and bacons are not lean and are not healthy foods. then there are eggs, and there are many ways to prepare eggs

I’m sure the entire problem is government over-regulation. If we fire half the cdc and not allow them to use the word “gender”, they won’t be ble to enforce regulations and the price will come down

5-6, and eggs aren’t expensive yet. I guess wherever we get eggs from don’t have avian flu yet …. Although it’s here in the wild

I have a bowl of cereal (yogurt and fruit) during the week, but usually make something with eggs on the weekend.

Does that still exist?

Out of curiosity, what do they do for public service?

I’m a bit ambivalent: I would have hated it, and there’s no immediate benefit. I’m also well past the point of being affected, so yes, you should have compulsory service.

Compulsory service can’t create an effective military force, but what it can do is widespread experience with discipline, working together, basic weapons familiarity. There are many emergencies where having this widespread experience might be useful, over a herd of random citizens in an unruly mob. Heck, make it part of national guard or have fema run it.

For the military, you might get a head start on getting people ready, should you ever have to call them up. In recent decades we always assumed war is fast and you can only use what you start with, but Ukraine demonstrate there can still be protracted wars.

But I’m picturing more of an organized force to help in a large flood or fire for example. Or it helps to have some sort of goal, so build it as a modern WPA.

Historically they were technically right. Tesla has always been priced by emotion rather than fundamentals. However it’s not enough to be technically correct when you lose money on that bet. And they almost always lost money.

It’s always been a bubble but that has lasted much longer than most bubbles and no one can predict when it’s pop

All too often neither the size of the profit nor percent profit really matter. The important criteria is “compared to plan”.

The stock has been priced according to what the company said it planned to do. If it didn’t meet its plan, stock usually decreases. If it keeps not meeting plan, shareholders usually lose trust and stock decreases even more. Tesla is “special” so who knows

As an owner of a recent one, but before Musk’s issues got so hard to ignore, it has good quality, as did everyone I look at. Tesla had some very well publicized quality issues, when they were hand-building the first vehicles, scaling up the model 3, and trying to build the very different technology of the cybertruck, but their normal, recent cars seem fine

As a gadget freak, teslas have many features that just don’t exist on other vehicles. Has any other manufacturer even gotten over-the-air updates right?

Several of the other vehicles you mentioned aren’t available in the US. We can expect increased protectionism so they never will be.

At least at the time, my Tesla was the lowest price EV with capabilities I wanted. The incentives made a huge difference but I don’t think it would qualify anymore plus they appear to be getting cancelled

We did have a wave of vehicles expected over the next couple years that may give some competition, if those legacy manufacturers don’t retreat to selling ICE trucks and SUVs only. However GM botching the Trailblazer, and Volkswagen screwing up the software on their attempts do not bode well. Hyundai/Kia has some good possibilities. The high end has several good possibilities but for too high a price and too low a volume

Yeah but then it’s not teslas fault. That employee didn’t do their job and can be fired

I’m not going to be picky about that when I see way too often that one thing is different then another

Autocorrect is actually less convenient for punctuation. I’ll fight autocorrect when it substitutes random words but it can have my periods

Pretty much the definition of bubble stocks. If you don’t want emotion driven stocks, don’t ride the hype train. There are many many more stock opportunities, most of whose value is related to actual facts
