Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?
I'm kind of torn on this one. When I worked there 25 years ago, I worked in a number of salaried management positions. I did work a lot more than 40 hours a week on a regular basis. During this time, I did a lot of grunt work, but I also did "manage" people. I told employees what to do, when to... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
I know there are some happy Rivian owners on here, but the latest Consumer Reports does not look good for them. Predicted Reliability: Dead Last (Ranked 26th out of 26) While owners love the driving experience, the actual build and mechanical/software dependability tell a different story... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
It always amazes me how people will spend $10k more so they can do something 3 times in the life of the vehicle. I read somewhere that 82% of full size truck owners pull something fewer than 2 times a year. I'm guessing for SUV's, that number is 95%+. This vehicle will definitely be polarizing... -

I bought it in my brokerage, I have a feeling I'll be able to offset my gains by selling some of my BTC, which is down 45%. -

Thanks for sharing, that is awesome data. Basically, the rest of your car will die before the battery does. -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
Well we will now see how many of those people who say "just give me a basic vehicle without all the crap" buy one of these. https://www.slate.auto/en -
Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion
I'm in a similar boat. I didn't realize how much I would appreciate being able to do an overnight smoke without babysitting it every few hours. -

I probably mentioned this before, but I'd highly recomend buying one of these as a dedicated vacuum. -

"Mr Jones, I really appreciate the raise of 15% this year, but could you only give me a 3% increase. If I make 96,950, I'll only pay 12% in taxes, but if I make 96,951 I'll pay 22%." -

"Sold half my shares of SpaceX at $199. I'm sure I'll regret that, but when I heard it was being valued above Microsoft and Amazon, I chickened out. Nice 48% gain in a week." -
Under Sink RO System
I'd get one but my wife hates them. Something about her hair and when she showers it feels like she never gets the soap off. I tend to like the soft water feel while showering. -
Under Sink RO System
I've just replaced my water intake with pop. I heard if you drink enough soda with saccharin, it offsets whatever causes cancer./ On a side note, I had cancer so that makes me an expert in this field. -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
No clue, Honda and Toyota have **** the bed. One problem is that they are both concentrated on the U.S. market which isn't demanding them yet. Nearly everyone else is doing better. -
The next brewery to bite the dust
I thought they were just all brewing at singlespeed in Waterloo. They actually bought them? -
Des Moines Metro beer tiers 2021
5 years later .. I would actually move Court Avenue up to D level. Firetrucker I'd move to F. Barntown I'd move down to B, they've turned into making good fruited sours and rarely a good NEIPA. Big Grove may still be a B, but Confluence is now better across the board. Lua continues to dominate. -
The next brewery to bite the dust
I've been part of the mug club at Backpocket since they first opened in Johnston 5 years ago. Their beer is mid, but they've been helped a little with their collab with Single speed. I go for drinks nearly every Thursday and they are always busy. The problem now is that there is a new bar next... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
I know this is going to trigger people, but I would love to see Tesla buy Rivian. I would love to buy another Tesla but they have no models that interest me and are different than the model Y. Tesla has the capacity to pump out R2 and R3's. I would buy one tomorrow. -
Viking cruise
We were in Budapest a few months ago, and I was surprised that the Viking cruises almost seemed like the budget ones there. Having heard what they cost, I can't imagine what the high end boats charge. Maybe this is just a danube thing? -

Tesla's value when it IPO'd was around 1.7 billion. This would make it not even one of the top 3000 most valuable companies in the world. It would be considered a small cap company.
