    You may be right but evidence says a majority of people buy from companies that share their values. This purchasing behavior continues to grow especially by younger people. Obviously people sometimes have to buy from companies that don't share their values. Either via ignorance or they just don't have a choice.

    Tesla = Elon to many people. If they think his views and values are bad (or good), there is zero chance that doesn't impact their views on Tesla.  It's like how people considered Apple and Steve Jobs to by synonymous.

    People think Apple is dead?

    1) In retrospect, you're totally right.

    2) Yeah, but oysters & pearls.  

    Regardless, it's at least clear that he's testing out the idea of running.  And I have always liked Western governors as presidential nominees.

    I have zero give a shit about Newsom.  I guess he's a douche from the French Laundry thing.

    But, I went to Per Se, Thomas Keller's OTHER 3 Michelin Star restaurant, literally right before the whole Covid shit hit the fan...late Feb 2020.

    The Oysters & Pearls may have been the best thing I have ever eaten in my life.  It was fucking sublime...The rest of the meal was great, too...but...I could have done 10 courses of the Oysters & Pearls and been the happiest man alive that day.

    Someone turn the fans on. Dispatchable at 85%. Is that a normal number? Seems like it should be higher.

    Wind is only providing % of capacity?  Send some folks out to west Texas to blow on those things...

    The ones down here by Corpus must be the only ones working.

    I got to see the Azores, or at least the airfield where US transports land. We milled about outside the plane as we were meant to do. The only Azorean person I saw was a cop in a golf cart. She looked kind of like the cop version of Nelly Furtado.

    After our plane left, another one full of the next 3rd of our unit landed. Their Lieutenant was a real Strac Trooper and called all his milling-about troops into formation, for some dumb fucking Army control freak reason. The Azorean cops descended upon him and packed him off to jail. There is an old treaty dating back to maybe when Britain fought Napoleon, that the Azores would be neutral. Officer Rambo was charged with "forming troops for battle," as if he was going to order a bayonet charge on a golf cart.

    Lajes, I presume?

    Azores were dope. Missed my flight so spend a little extra time here which was great because I rented a car and drove around a bit.

    Definitely a hidden gem, little to no tourists, extremely cheap, great seafood.

    I will definitely come back but now on to Porto. Skipping Lisbon for after the hike.

    My parents met in the Azores...on Terceira.  Got a chance to go there a few years ago with my Dad.  It was AWESOME!!!

    Went to high school in Abilene. Prayer was all over the place. Technically, since it was student lead, it wasn't unconstitutional, but you were gonna get shit if you didn't stand up with everyone else at lunch

     

    Interesting...My kids all went to school in Brock (a little west of Weatherford).  Parker County is quite the Baptist enclave.  There was a lot of prayer there but my kids never had any pressure to join in or not. 

    We took them to church at Greenwood Baptist on Sundays, but my wife and I didn't attend.  Just dropped the kids off to at least get some exposure and see if that's what they wanted.  If kids didn't want to go we didn't pressure them.  I grew up Lutheran but I'm a deist now, BTW...

    Oh...and I was always pissed when those fuckers would keep church going past 1200 when the Cowboys had a noon game.  They obviously didn't have their priorities straight.

    Please show your work.  I haven’t seen any of this data showing Twitter was “full of shit”.  I think we found an Elon adept here.

    We'll see if they actually want to sue...

    Here's a far right website that details his position...

    The Tesla CEO said in a filing Friday afternoon that he believed Twitter was in material breach of multiple provisions of the April 25 sale agreement — including Musk’s request that the company share information about the number of fake and spam accounts on the social media platform.

     

    "Twitter has not provided information that Mr. Musk has requested for nearly two months notwithstanding his repeated, detailed clarifications intended to simplify Twitter’s identification, collection, and disclosure of the most relevant information sought in Mr. Musk’s original requests," the filing states.

    Can't wait for cold beers at Shortys and day camping on the beach. Hope nothing bites me on my pinky toe again.

    Grumbles is an absolute rip off. I paid $25 for a catfish plate that consisted of three fish planks that looked like they came out of a Gordon's box, a tiny side of Cole slaw in a cup used for ketchup, and soggy ass fries.

    F grumbles.

    Virginia's on the other hand had some of the best shrimp scampy I've ever had.

    The Gaff serves a great pizza as well.

    The Gaff pizza is the tits...
