I’m actually stocking up on popcorn to watch the price of gas over the next decade as most of the world transitions to EVs
The thing is, as companies adjust to changing demand, supply will be out of balance. We’re in for a wild ride as price stability is the first thing to go.
Will people still not see it as it happens? They’ll see the low prices and buy ever larger trucks, then another refinery closes and prices will be high. Surprise!
Fwiw, any place that alters pants can add them cheaply. Then again, I only used them with suit pants that needed alterations anyway
Stock options. I was working in a startup and got hit with the downsizing axe. Luckily, I thought, I had had been there just long enough to vest in the options. So I bought them on my way out the door, spent like $100 on 200,000 options: they were worthless at the time but if the company ever did go public that small investment would quickly turn into a fortune. Lucky.
Two weeks later I got the legal notice that they reissued options so all non-founder options were cancelled.
Arguably that’s what a lot of MAGAts were going for. Look what we ended up with
Who is breaking the law when masked thugs violate someone’s human rights and deprive them of the due process guaranteed by our law and foundational documents?
For Pete’s sake I wish people were more conservative about this - respect for the law and the Constitution used to be core Conservative values.
No, I really don’t have plans this year, but
I went through a suspenders phase when I was wearing suits on a regular basis. They’re both comfortable and another way to flash a little color when men’s fashion is so boring.
But it never occurred to me that you could wear them with other types of pants. Can you? These days I regularly wear khakis: are they appropriate? How about jeans?
Maybe the birds got there first
I bet, Brits just can’t give up the idea of being an empire LoL
Damn, of all the things Massachusetts is number one in ….
Lemon? I’ve never seen a lemon on the edge of Mac-n-cheese, but it makes perfect sense and now I want one
I found this online and tried it tonight. It turned out amazing, and photogenic!
The only catch was it called for pan searing the salmon 8-10 minutes but mine took over 20
Rice was just a rice cooker. I used broth instead of water and glopped in some lemon juice when it was ready
This is one of my last “good” meals before my youngest moves out to college, so it was a big deal to turn out so well.
Never got my money back - the lawyer fees would have been high and I went in assuming it was a gamble - most likely I’d lose it all with a small chance of a huge win
But that place was a real toxic workplace that I’m glad I left. The other fun thing was the reason I got laid off: not a team player. They asked me to be the first one in so I could do their management so I said ok. Then they asked me to stay last and I said “sure, which do you want. This was a typical startup where everyone works insane hours so there’s really no way anyone could be both first in and last out, but they thought that was not being a team player
