They quit the long haul flights. Used to do them several times a year.

Yes, there are induction hot plates. The one from IKEA gets good reviews and I think it can be ordered online.

Yeah, the foodies are the ones I hear gripe about gas be electric.

In cold climates like yours, I’ve heard of people having electric bill shock when they switched from natural gas to a heat pump. In many urban/suburban parts of the Midwest, natural gas is king and...

You don’t live where it really gets cold, though. Just like EVs, heat pumps in really cold climates might not be the best solution.

Glad it was of interest!

I rent so I’m extremely limited in what I can do. Gas forced air furnace that was 40 years old was replaced two years ago with same, but of course, much more efficient....

Very interesting article

Definitely NOT worried about losing my job (customs broker). Needs to be done by humans. CBP even specified last year, in response to a letter from a customs broker, that what we do can't be...

Yeah, I don’t feel bad at all about firing this woman since she signed a document that outlined work hours.

I had no issue with this one. Chick had an entitled attitude that I was not going to put up with. Other people (not in the office) told me I should have allowed her to work from home or flex her...

I had to fire a woman earlier this week because she was unable to meet clearly spelled out requirements (and she signed a document confirming she understood), 8-5 working hours (1 hour unpaid lunch),...

Corn people LOL

What a nice offer!

Wow! Your own phone number! Your friends must have been shocked.

I grew up in a house built in 1968, so the horrid green appliances, shag carpet, weird colored wallpaper, etc. My parents’ bedroom shared a wall with mine. Their nightstand with phone on a 20ft cord...

They’re in my circle of local divers, but not friends.

Then there’s Mexico, where everyone HAS to drink bottled water.

This is a weird follow up to the post I did last year about so called friends getting after me to get rid of my car and go car free.

Several in my circle have swallowed being green whole. The bad...

You’re offering to take a homeless person into your home?

Your friend’s experience matches mine when I helped out at shelter dinners 20 years ago. There are some homeless people who simply like the lifestyle and don’t want to be forced into a normalized...

There’s a big issue with broken/out of order chargers.

Substance abuse among the homeless is nothing new. Maybe more of it. Alcoholism has been an issue for years.

Dang, that is a REALLY good price.

And for a lot of people, EVs don’t make sense. If you have no way of charging at home, have long distance trips through rural areas, and maybe in a cold climate.

My next vehicle will likely be a...

Tons of Teslas here in the Chicago area.
