jredd23 LinkLots of ideas but nah! I stick to the classic; ham, egg and cheese on a toasted bagel (either plain or everything)! All or nothing on my side of the house.Lots of ideas but nah!

And of course those in power (no matter if they are good or bad governments, in your opinion) want to stay in power. So of course they go out of their way to make things worse.
Last week, Indian government officials directed X to block the “Cockroach Janta Party” handle, citing a threat to national security, according to Indian media reports.
That just makes the point more clearer.

Comment on Battery costs just plunged 70% — this changes everything in ~enviro
jredd23 Link Parentnuclear energy cost per kwh is from what I have read the cheapest. however, the building cost and other regulatory hurdles the hard part, not to mention environment impact. I am not convinced that...nuclear energy cost per kwh is from what I have read the cheapest. however, the building cost and other regulatory hurdles the hard part, not to mention environment impact. I am not convinced that solar/wind and storage solutions will win. Hybrid solutions, a combination of all of the above will probably will be with us for awhile though I do hope that a 'cleaner' method is rapidly adopted.

Guacamole lovers unite - 15,000 Pounds of Guacamole: Tancítaro, Michoacán Reclaims "Avocado Capital" Title with New Guinness World Record
Some of you may think of chips and guacamole, not me! My G-mom would make guacamole hotdogs for lunch, dinner, and breakfast with fresh avocado, onions, lemon juice, toasted hotdog sliced, on a lightly toasted tortilla. For gringos in the family, hotdog bun. As we got older we modified it for taste, maybe add fresh cut jalapenos or sauerkraut etc., some even put cheese on it (shaking my head in total disapproval!)
Here is recipe for you to follow, if interested - its a fancy one, skip the cheese please:

If you are planning to be in NYC downtown to celebrate the Knicks’ NBA Championship victory parade, here is Google Map Route. If you are newbie, don't be South of Canal on Broadway; going by past experience, that gets really tight, tough lots of fun.
