OCC had fencing classes in the mid 1980's. Great fun using a foil. Don't want to get hit with a saber (not lightsaber.…) though. They will leave a welt.

I like their weird salads. When they say it's a "red cabbage / blue cheese" mix, they aren't kidding about the blue cheese. Sounds gross, but surprisingly tasty.

Won't take long to ramp up. Tesla used a GM/Toyota Assembly in Fremont. Rivian took over an old Chrysler/ Mitsubishi plant in Illinois. All these companies need to do is find an empty ICE or EV manufacturing plant and off they go.

Good News Everyone! https://electrek.co/2025/03/17/byd-confirms-1000v-super-e-platform-fast-charging-400km-5-minutes/ Don't know if a traditional electrical grid can pump out 1000kw on a regular basis, but it's a good start in the right direction. Now about those solid state batteries we were...

It's actually much more! The Google said Dec 2008 closing price was $2.57, (38,000 shares) then you have to factor the stock splits. (7-1 2014 and 4-1 2020 so 1,064,000 shares) x present value. I may have misfigured somewhere, so I bow low to crowd checkers to confirm what's what.

Rough numbers here .... In 2008 had you used 100k to buy a $500k home, you'd have about 1.5m of equity in your property, excluding rental income etc. If you took that same 100k you had laying around in 2008 and bought AAPL, adjusted for splits, and if calculations are correct, you'd have about...

35 of 50 photos are of just the downstairs area. I guess this realtor just got a new phone and wanted to show off what it can do

The best thing the new Department of Education Indoctrination could do while they can would be to aggressively eliminate tenure. Colleges have become hard left echo chambers primarily staffed by crusty tenured professors who rely primarily on Teachers Aids to actually do the educating of...

Interesting sales history in Ivory Petal Sale in March '24 at $1.4 Sale in April '24 at $1.6 Sale in Sept '24 at $1.8 Wash, Rinse, Repeat.....

Wait until you piss them off by asking for more Guac.... (not AI, btw)

@daedalus I'm not talking about dragging a significant balance for any great length of time. After reviewing thousands of credit reports and AUS's, I know from experience having an unused or zero balance card does not help increase your score. It can, in some cases if the account gets cancelled...

Europe won't commit troops without US troops also participating. That's why Zelinskyy wanted a US troop commitment. Had he taken the mining deal, US contractors would be considered enough of.a "red line" keeping Russia from further expanding their Ukrainian territory grab. It's a "soft power"...

Thought the CT couldn't get any uglier? Think again! https://phoenixpopup.com/cyberphoenix/

Errrm..... not so fast. Based on inflation, the $599 price is about right. You're also getting 2x the memory and a better camera than the 2016 SE. https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm
