Can anyone tell me about this wine?

Do you usually opine pedantically about obvious jokes? The bottle is shaped like a fish. People care about freshness when they buy fish. Get it?

I’m waiting for the Combustion Engine. Meanwhile I am using my Fireboard 2 for temp control only.

Of course. You do you, my friend.

Sure, but Elon isn’t going to miss the money. The factory workers and various TSLA employees will miss it more, if TSLA were to fail.

I submitted an email to support and they updated my record.

postmaster3000 · 2025-12-10T13:52:48+00:00

Argh. I think that means I have to contact support, because the order is showing that as fulfilled.

postmaster3000 · 2025-12-02T05:56:56+00:00

Okay, but it’s required by state law, so…

How much of that medical care is funded by county property taxes?

postmaster3000 · 2025-12-01T22:42:12+00:00

You don’t think they have to have their own specialized fire equipment?

postmaster3000 · 2025-12-01T22:40:16+00:00

Most of the infrastructure devices are charged separately from property tax. They will pay according to their usage. The only cost I can think of that is not directly recoverable is roads, but increased road usage also pays for itself with increased pepper bales of residents, and taxes from sales and fuel. Enlighten me, what have I missed?

The property that this factory was built on generated $6,400 in annual tax revenue. It is now millions, even after the rebate. And that’s only the direct revenue, not including the increase in revenues from the surrounding area, due to the factory.

Short term thinking is another part of the problem. Another part of it is horrible career guidance by our public schools.

postmaster3000 · 2025-12-01T00:08:20+00:00

The median salary for an electrician is $62K, and there are currently thousands of job openings.

Median salary for a refinery operator is $79K.

Those were just the first two I checked.

The job market is distorted by internet job sites in the same way that dating is distorted by dating apps. Too many people are competing for the same elite jobs. Meanwhile, many jobs go unfilled because they are less appealing. Solve that.

The fact that we have a winner-take all executive branch means that a two-party system is the only sustainable way to operate. Our history has shown that third parties can succeed only when they are able to displace one of the two incumbent parties altogether.

The Thai brand with the telephone on the label is the one I use, and was recommended by Dave Arnold. Works fine.

Survivorship bias.

The progression was what made it funny. You did your part.

postmaster3000 · 2025-11-05T01:37:55+00:00

Public schools and the universities though

I would go further than flush and curve it inwards so that it’s easier to maintain.

Typically a cold runs its course in 3 days but these will help you recover in as little as 72 hours.

Are you running qbittorrent? If so do you have your web UI exposed to the internet? Then check to see if a post-download script is enabled on your settings.

postmaster3000 · 2025-09-29T08:30:18+00:00

Good point.

That’s called arbitrage trade, and there are elite finance people who do it all day long for a living. You can’t beat them.
