Yes, we're seeing those credit card processing fees everywhere but big corporate stores as well. I've heard that's actually hurting credit card companies as people are waking up to realize having to pay

My brother said the same thing about the food! It's on my list, for sure. We have a friend in Tokyo who's been asking us to visit Hawaii would be a perfect stop on the way there. Great to know about the

Thanks Nancy! It sounds like your feelings were correct about that couple! It's very sad to see a relationship sustained by material things. Both of them will have regrets. Yes! People like that will always

I believe it. After the minimum wage was raised to $16 for servers here in the Twin Cities local businesses started adding a "convenience fee" of up to 21% to the restaurant bills in lieu of

I hope so!

Oh yes, healthcare is a huge burden here in the US. It's beginning to feel like universal healthcare might never happen. The amount my wife and I pay monthly is astronomical and the coverage isn't great.

You are so right about true wealth/peace/happiness being rooted in the gratitude and the lack of want. Consumerism is no different than being an alcoholic. People fool themselves into thinking that next

For sure. It will still make simple mistakes from time-to-time but, generally, FSD is about 5-7x safer than a human driver. It's jumping to about 10x with v14.3.

Wow, it looks gorgeous there! I've never been to Hawaii but would like to experience it someday. My brother and his family were just in Kona and flew back yesterday. The food sounds incredible.

It's heartbreaking how many senior citizens are having to work into their 80's now. We just took a day trip to Redwing MN and had lunch in one of the local restaurants. There was a waitress working who

Happy anniversary to you! I'm fairly certain we've met at a couple of 'Fests (pre-Hive) but didn't have a chance to hang out. Thanks for all of your contributions to this community!

For sure. Social media is riddled with falsehoods now. Thanks!

Flying is best when there's a time crunch. Tesla's tech makes owning an EV as simple (in some cases even simpler) than an ICE vehicle. The hardest part for me was learning to trust the tech. Even with

Charging an EV takes longer than filling up with gas, for sure, but it requires a kind of a lifestyle change for road trips. The software does an excellent job of managing everything and keeping you from

I know, it's getting pretty crazy online. Once started these falsehoods spread like wildfire. Many of the accounts doing this online are foreign. It was such a relief for me when I could just finally relax

Thanks Lizelle! I hope you're feeling better!

Yes, the computer determines the most efficient stops and also the duration of charge. Most of these stops are between 8 and 15 minutes. We're going to try to find hotels along the way that allow us to

Oh, I see. That's too bad! Aftermarket would probably be the way to go in that case. Thanks. I still wouldn't purchase another Tesla at the end of the quarter. They're pushing out a lot of new car inventory

They're amazing cars. We've pushed the AWD to the limits here in the Minnesota snow and there's nothing like them.

The Forester is a hybrid. It's pretty nice, the hybrid system doesn't give you much of a bump in gas mileage but it does give you about 20 more HP. They paired Toyota's hybrid system with the trad Subaru
