PART 8

Alcohol consumption is way down here in America. I still have my 1-2 drinks a day—it's served me well for 30 years. : ) I feel like we live in the golden age of beer. I can't think of a time in history

It's a whole different ballgame now that Wall Street is in the mix. One of those examples of be careful what you wish for I think.

I think all social media platforms should have that feature. It would end a lot of runaway disinformation. I have a few crypto accounts I follow there too. The market is pretty atrocious today. This is

Ah, so having cabbage rolls with sauerkraut is typical in Ukraine? I always wondered why our family had them that way. So many of our ancestral traditions were lost when our family members came to America.

You're welcome. I really hope it works out for you and you're reunited with your Harris Hawk.

Oh yeah, it's total theatre and spinning of narratives for specific end goals.

Yes, I would say the era of truth ended a very long time ago. I think there are small pockets of people who're waking up and creating communities built around truth. The good thing is we have alternative

The platform itself does lean a little more right but liberal accounts are returning. The Community Notes I've seen are like a true, unbiased, fact-check.

I share that fondness. I've owned mostly Hondas and Toyotas up until the Tesla. As much as I like the sportiness of my sedan I'm looking forward to the flexibility of an SUV. The tech in cars today is

I love a good IPA! I have to be careful sometimes because some of them here in America can really pack a wallop (approaching 10% abv). They'll make you forget about a lot of things. : ) We have a kind

Lol, they have it all.

Thanks again, you've piqued my interest! Amazon is telling me Simulacra and Simulations will arrive tomorrow. : )

Thanks for the link. This gives me something new to dig into and I'm excited about that. I bought the paperback version of Simulacra and Simulations on Amazon. He totally predicted our current time. It

EVs are expensive but you can get some insane deals on used ones. I'll probably go that route for the Y. My '22 Model 3 is worth $30k and I paid $60K for it three years ago. I just saw a two year old Model

It's usually the candidates who say they've dreamed of being in power their whole lives that you have to be the most fearful of. I've heard a few guests on the Joe Rogan podcast say they key to fixing
