Salted butter is a condiment.

Unsalted butter is an ingredient.

Inflation has been falling for a couple years and is fairly low right now, though not as low as it was back when interest rates were zero.

The dollar has been fairly strong in recent years.

Inflation in 2022 was likely due to price gouging with companies like Exxon Mobil reporting record or near-record profits at that time.

By late 2022, companies had jacked up prices high enough that the demand curve had likely reached the “crossover” point. Since then prices and inflation have been falling back to normal.

For YouTube, I’d recommend Vinegar, although the more general adblockers will also work.

As announced earlier key board members are also resigning.

Have they rotated the deck chairs on the Titanic, or is this a meaningful change?

It’s about guys who deliver money to banks.

Contrarian opinion:

Discovering that Mars once had life would be bad for NASA. It would mean that human exploration of Mars might not be allowed as it could contaminate the evidence.

And it would be terrible for humanity, according to Kurzgesagt, because it would indicate that we may soon go extinct.

dang it, I guessed

which almost works. Almost.

I knew before checking that S3E10 would be “Fly”. That episode was clever and won critical acclaim, but I found it annoying and couldn’t wait for it to be over.

And the best episode (of any TV show ever, according to some folks), S5E14 “Ozymandias”, had the same writer and director as “Fly”.

So that’s why they haven’t been able to launch yet. It all makes sense now.

You live in a city, but most of the store chain’s customers live in the suburbs where gas is a major expense and fuel perks are a big incentive to shop at a particular store.

The store isn’t trying to promote fossil fuels. They only care about customer loyalty. Besides (they might rationalize), their customers have to buy gas somewhere so why not from us?

Are you sure about that? Dial tone is a sound you hear before dialing, not the sound you hear when you press a key.

The Fisker Ocean has solar panels on its roof. It can add 4 or 5 miles a day if fully exposed to the sun.

Not enough to matter. It’s a gimmick.

If you don’t have an EV, you may think that EV owners are worried about range, and they’d welcome any increase. I have not found this to be true.

It’s more like having a car that starts every day with a full tank. You’re never going to burn through that in a single day. Pretty soon you don’t care about range, efficiency, or pay much attention to the battery meter. It only matters if you’re on a road trip, which for me is a couple times a year.

I would not want to give up a nice full-roof sunroof for a few extra miles a day.
