Do youts have a connection with Beetles that us old people do?

Haloumi is apparently the top selling cheese in the UK at the moment. And you can’t even find it in most of the US.

Keep it in the family.

Nah, converting UK car prices don’t work that way. A new base Fiesta goes for GBP15,670, where a US Fiesta goes for $14,260, while the exchange rate puts it at $19,700! The new Fiesta ST goes for GBP20,700, vs the leftovers here starting at $21,340 ($26000 exchange). Your better off going 1:1.

Imagine that after reading that WSJ piece, you decided they were wrong and you’d gamble $100 on this AMZN stock. Published May 31, 1999, so you order it up the next day. June 1, 1999 it closed at $52.90 so you splurge and buy 2 shares. That September AMZN had it’s last split (!?!), so now you have 4 shares.

On the other hand, the colour announcer NBC had on was worthless.  She’d either say nothing, say something wrong, or catch on to the action 5 minutes after it happened.

Astra is a pretty decent manga. I’m kinda surprised it’s being animated, it’s from 2016.  But you all should give it a try.

Didn’t you know he works for CNN for free?

I think you misspelled kilograms there

Which is mostly true. New Balance made in US shoes are at least $30 more than their made in Vietnam shoes.

That’s not the reason manufacturing jobs are lost in the US. We produce more per capita now than ever before. We also do this with fewer employees than before. Americans don’t do manufacturing not just because it’s too expensive for Americans to make things, but because of automation. 

Vizio.  Built in Asia, but founded and HQ in Torrance, CA

Born in 1753, died in 1868! He would have fought in the War of 1812 in his late 50s/early 60s! Didn’t get his freedom until he was in his 70s or 80s, and still lived another 30 years.

Yep, originally different versions of the same song except I believe ep 25. That’s how it is on my ADV DVDs from 02 and the VHS I watched in 98.

I think you read a different review and commented on this one.

There are about 75 varieties of those at my local asian market. They get weird...

Around the turn of the century Ford was making an electric Ranger. Used lead-acid batteries. New, they had 150-ish mile range. After a years or 2 (they were leased and all had to be returned by 2002), you were good if you got 70 miles out of a charge.

I used to read a lot of Paul’s stuff when UniWatch was on ESPN. Great stuff about design and design history.  When the link about the chute was to UniWatch, I had great flashbacks :D

The CK board game was delivered by Fed Ex this weekend. Haven’t opened it up yet though.
