And apparently assumed that the constitution should be re-written every 17 years or so. That's the 'constitutional convention' ploy, which I'm not so sure it it's a good idea or not, at this time. smh. we're so fecked. wait, where's I put my optimism... it's around here somewhere.

Imagine how much plastic waste could be eliminated if we just boycotted these companies.

Perhaps so, alas. And the rates of obesity and diabetes continue to rise. sigh.

I did notice Altria / Phillip Morris were also in that list. :-(

I'll take indicted co-conspirators, for all 3.

I was curious about a specific term:

"In a pivotal stretch of testimony, David Pecker, the longtime publisher of The National Enquirer, described a 2015 meeting with Mr. Trump and his fixer at the time, Michael D. Cohen, at Mr. Trump’s midtown Manhattan headquarters.

Fixer
Noun
2. A person who uses influence or makes arrangements for another, especially by improper or unlawful means.

"Pecker? He was just the Chai Walla. I never even knew his name." More popcorn please.

My point being that one doesn't need a fixer, unless one does illegal things. Can we not have criminals in places of power? Soonish?

Aptera for reals.

Most EVs have a 10 year / 100K miles warranty, at least in the US.

Have you ever seen wooden/ bamboo bikes? Renovo was one manufacturer. And currently, (https://www.lightwoodenbicycles.com/) TimberWolf Cycles.

There are others: https://www.treehugger.com/awesome-bikes-made-of-wood-4869156

I saw one in a museum, from the 1880s, made of hickory. It reportedly weighed 18 pounds.

I prefer to vote early, by dropping my completed ballot off at the appropriate location.

Life is full of opportunities to learn. "Gotta learn something new everyday." Here's a bit more: There are about 6000 solitary bees that live on the NA continent. Most of them make small tunnels in the ground, and some carve holes in wood, e.g. trees, posts, etc. The ground dwelling ones on average go about 6 inches deep. So that woven plastic "landscape cloth" interferes with them. If they are beneath it when installed, they can't get out. If they are above it they can't make proper homes for their babies. Happy Spring!!

Wow, that's pretty nifty. Where did you find it? What do you use it for?

I have two '6 inchers'. One is ever so slightly smaller than the other, so it gets to be the lid. They are my 'daily drivers'. Anytime I want to cook something for just me. Or if I'm making something that calls for garlic, onions, oil, and spices, e.g. tomato sauce, that's where it all starts.
