No worries. Lets keep it between you and me. No one else needs to know.

I don't mean to be pedantic, but I'm going to be pedantic (where have we heard that before) but you lose a significant amount of weight in the roasting process. A lot of the time is cooking out the moisture before you can really get to roasting. Maybe 20% or more weight loss during roasting...

I don't, of course, know your baseline. I've spent quality time in Models X, 3 and Y and found them to be substantially quieter than any previous gas cars I've driven, but I've not driven any super luxury brands. With the substantially lower drivetrain noise you do hear a lot of other noises...

I'd like to give this 10 thumbs-up. I came to this song ("who the ph is Alice") via a Danish version by Bamses Venner and I think it's absolutely hilarious. Thanks for the reference. Now I need to find out more the Alice (Coltrane) everyone else is talking about.

I consider cloud backup in the terabyte class as a backups of last resort. I try to keep 2-3 near-field backups for disaster recover. Cloud backups are for cataclysm recovery.

Perpetually five days behind... Anyway I have this on original vinyl. Picked out of a discount bin. Also on CD when it was first released (on CD). I'm also a fan of side 1/a. I don't know if people think it's cliched now but I fire it up on a regular basis and thoroughly enjoy it. Play it...

I have to call this out. I'll even venture that, while not on the sine wave, this has been gone over here in the past. Meat on a roll with cheese is not a cheesesteak. I think you are describing a buffalo chicken sandwich of some sort. A cheesesteak has particular ingredients prepared in a...

I was too busy ordering one (+) before everyone else found out about it.

I know this was part of bantering balls about but but this was a phenomenal interview.

Why are yous guys still talking about the soup-n-bowl. That was five days ago.

I have a long history with Monks. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I caught up a week ago (chasing the dragon since June). You can make it!

Actually Mr. Musk did not sell $40B of stock. That was the purchase price of twitter. The purchase was a combination of private investors and $8.5B from Mr. Musk. Apparently the shares he sold were from the same batch he bought the year before and had already paid taxes on. They were...

...flying, that I want the pilot well trained, well rested and well paid. I absolutely do not chase the lowest ticket price or fly budget airlines (*). (*) I understand there can be excellent pilots and crew on budget and discount airlines but I don't believe they are supported by the system...

My original mention of $11B of taxes came from Mr. Musk excercising stock options, in 2021, that were about to expire. The per-share price when the options were granted was something around $6.50 but the current stock price was around $950. Blame all those fools buying Teslas. As explained by...

Well argued. I concede your point.

Maybe there is some of the $11B he paid in 2021 you can get hold of.

Been there, done that.... Am there, do'n that... Was there, did that... The future awaits you.

I just have to give a plug for EMAPP - Electronic Music Education and Preservation Project. Unbelievable resource squirreled away in a nondescript building north of Philly. See
